>Shadow of Tomb Raider down to $30

It'd have to be $3 before I buy it, denuvo.

Has it been cracked yet?

ETs are cycled.
HiTMAN II isn't episodic.
Etc.
One-time play missions rub my inner completionist the wrong way but having a time-sensitive problem as a tradeoff for free extra content developed continuously for the main game post-launch is kind of a fair tradeoff.
If they're doing it explicitly to encourage early buy ins that's fine with me. The game is cheap and its one of those things you should be playing in intermittent revisits anyway.

Okay retard.
Read the OP again and refer to this handy graph I drew you,

you ever played Mafia 3? you play a black guy who has to take out racist white guys.
Anyway what is the most pozzed game out there?

Single player is fine. It's a really good, well made game. Online is where R* turn into cretinous Jews. GTA:O basically became an exercise in making it as actively difficult as possible turn earn in game currency to encourage the purchase of cash cards for the game.
Any time anyone found a reasonably quick way of grinding decent amounts of money, something that would still take hours of dedication, R* would nerf the hell out of it so much so that unless you put in many hours with a dedicated crew you will never be able to afford half of the good stuff that you actually want to play with.
Red dead online will be more of the same. Any missions that pay out well or can be completed quickly will be altered to slow down the generation of wealth. All items will be ludicrously expensive.

Black Ops is still priced low among some retailers.
Everything else is down heavily.
Even among the better known 'cheap' digital / shady physical resale websites (which are legit because they're mostly abusing poorer countries with lower spending power) -the prices are still not as low as they should be.
So I don't know what you mean but all these projections are right for now and the rest of the year.
November thru December is supposed to be prime sale time relative to amount of merch moved. They aren't even moving products. Maybe retail units but those will also fall again due to low actual sales.

Cope harder YIKES! Bakka desu.

Generation z still playing fort nite

>looks at steam's front page
Meh and more than q few seem to require more DRM, some other installer and login.
>Looks at blizzard front page
uninstall destiny 2 because it was crap, even for free
>Look at MMOs, pay and free
2014 ones sound and sometimes look better than anything in last 4 years. First person MMORPG with fishing but not afk bullshit, is that so fucking hard?
>Look at consoles cause PC market is shit
Still shit on consoles just with auto aim or aim assist.
>Anything I like, scheduled for 2019 release. ugh.
Back to playing older games with some mods.

>BFV down to $30
still full price in origin?
still not buying

It's free, simple gameplay mechanics, and isn't a 60 GB download. Just ignore all the faggots in the community and enjoy the game.

You are politically triggered by a fucking video game. Turn off the damn xbox hahahahahaha nigga close your eyes

That's a BIG yikes from me BUCKO.

Those cashcards were one of the boldest shekel grabbing moves in a long time. I've rarely seen something so expensive and useless. In one game some cheater simply teleported me to him and gave me 4 million ingame money (I didn't even ask for it). I can't believe there would be people stupid enough to buy Rockstar's make believe money with real money

Yeah because millennials are getting old and don’t play them and zoomers all play fortnight and Minecraft and shit like that.

Y’all remeber when MMORPG’s were the absolute biggest thing in gaming?

Now look at my graph again.
Now look at all the games I listed.
Now look and compare the release dates such as 76 the 14th.

Well, I’m a video gamer that stopped buying SJW titles, including all the horse shit OP listed.

Fuck SJW games

Every AAA sony game also made bank tho

How the fuck can it be Hitman 2?
Haven't they made like 6 of those games?

Because that's going to work so well, amirite?

I haven't played games since ps1.

they look more realistic now, but I just can't be bothered.

They did a "soft reboot" in 2016. It's good though, way better than the mess that was Absolution

not politics

Black ops 4 seems pretty good so far.. It reminds me of original cod games without the campain

>these shit sjw games aren't political
>markets aren't political
That's a big owwie from me senpai.

Look here for example. While RDR2 did well it's probably not going to be around for long if TT keeps getting rocked in the market by its fucking RETARDATION in other games like 76.
Somebody is probably getting lynched as I speak for publishing a Bethesda Games Studio game for them.
They actually crashed after the release of RDR2 but recovered only for the puppet sales and stock units to crash them into a nice curve, which led straight into the 76 failure.

Absolution had a few good features to it, levels like Chinatown, Hope, and the Courthouse were great, with lots of features and replayability, but the overall execution was just sloppy.

Nobody told me I had to kill the KKK members and if you think they aren't dumbass hillbilly fucks than you're only being biased because they have some values you might agree with. Multi racial for outlaws was pretty meta in real life idiot. Only blacks and Mexicans were criminals while people like John marston became farmers. You also don't seem to . understand what it takes to keep a BUSINESS going! Just stop having an opinion because you're bad at it.

It really isn't politics.

Baka, senpai.
Explain then. Daysu.

Also thar feminist quest line was one SIDE QUEST.. No wait, it was a sub side quest within another side quest. Where you just drive their carriage around while they shouted at people. oH my GOd LIBeraL PrOpaGanda!! Le BLUEpilEed!!! You're an idiot who didn't even play the game. Or played it with eyes closed

Shitloads of kids and teenagers are getting PCs for Fortnite, and console crowd is getting more and more into PCs with the great slew of indie titles and older exclusives on the market, and therein lies the crux of the dilemma.
People are discovering (again) that there's a massive library of PC games that never got a console port or where the PC version is better, and instead of buying the "laytess trippul Ayy teyetulz" they're compiling a list of games they used to play, games they never heard of and games everyone continues to rave about till kingdom come (like Fallout NV) and they play those games.
If they want a new game, they await the reviews and don't preorder because they already have a list to go through, and AAA games are competing with F2P games which are quickly and easily installed and discarded.

Just like in the 90s, when the market experienced a boom and after the growth subsided the crowd wizened up and went ham on torrents, we now see zoomers (the source of the 2010s aaay gaming boom) going through the motions.
Add to that the fact that there's a true flood of shit games, shit business practices and shit hardware just like in 1982, and the vidya market's global now.
It won't be just America suffering a market crash.

This. All AAA games in the next 2-3 years will be buy to play, starting at full price, quickly dropping once they've milked the pre-orderers and other suckers, and filled to the brim with microtransactions. Lootbox mechanics will be heavily present when and where available.
This is actually an amazing time for indie games. With the big devs essentially leaving the market for always online, service type games, smaller devs will be able to step into that area. It may leave players unsatisfied since those indie titles won't be able to compete with the glamour features (voice work, art quality, etc). But as a player who can take or leave such things, I'm very excited to see what comes.

What is to explain? This belongs in /v/

>lower sales due to Bethesda calling people who don't buy Wolfenstein II nazis
>lower sales due to Bethesda releasing shoddily-built game one after another only getting worse
>lower sales due to cheaper and more popular alternatives to SJW pandering
>not politics
Doesn't quite follow.
This is gamergate continuing where it left off, with consumers voting with their wallet.
People aren't buying games that tell them they should feel bad for existing anymore.

I miss Jow Forums being one with /v/ too user. It's time to let go

Did you seriously write that? Oh man youre such a faggot. A true ausfailian

fucking KEK

No. This is off-topic cancer.

>butchers the response to the half of things he decided to respond to
>ignores the rest

The KKK thing was clearly pointing in the direction of the hypocrisy of, 'muh must btfo da sjaydoublejews,' and the 'muh choice.'
In one encounter you don't get a choice. You have no choice to be the edgy larper regardless of how many feminists you feed to a crocodile the game isn't suddenly anti-feminist in its themes and implicit narratives. Triggering the libs is a choice, being cucked by the game isn't.

You have so much chooooice anoooon-kuuuun.

>muh choice
>something mumbled by a cracker when he encounters something he does not understand
Does it change the actual story of the game or its underlying narratives construed throughout the world/world-building?
I COULD feed all the Irish people in RDR2 to alligators and genocide them because they're Irish. Is the game anti-Irish or something?

Yet all the fucking nintendo switch games are fucking 90$ canadian

Mainline console gaming wont see 2030. Expect mass layoffs and closures during the next US recession for companies that haven't put their eggs in the PC or mobile baskets.

Sweet.

But not for the reasons Jow Forums thinks. This is a good lesson for video game publishers that abusing your customer base will leave you without one.

I like it when you bulli me.

to enjoy any of those games you have to be new to gaming or low IQ

for one I'm not a retard who has to resort to playing the most basic system for gaming; a pc? Which is all too common in third world shit holes, like your country. Consoles are luxurious for the truly refined person with distinct and class. I'm also not a poor fag.. Like you. And in support artists who make great entertainment. What's your excuse? Oh right I just named them off. Stay bottom of the barrel, bitch

There is no /v/ on Jow Forums anymore. They moved it to some shit board called channel or some shit.

It boggles the mind but they made fucking hundreds of millions off of them some those people exist in droves.
That's how kids are. Throw a few obstacles in their way and most of them will reach for mom and dad's credit card.
But that fucking isn't enough for Rockstar(of David) so they threw up even greater obstacles to coerce even the most patient players to cough up or suffer a long ass grind as punishment.

Did the insane grind really make them that much more money? I doubt it. I think they could have made it a little easier to build up cash and they'd still get vast revenue.

Well take it there then

I already posted about the franchises/series of these shit infested games ending. That should've been in the OP with the graphs and market autism.
They had an abysmal recovery curve from RDR2 hype and then 76 killed the baby days later.

Yep

wtf are you on about? consoles are optimized trash you fucking low IQ faggot. my video card costs more than your entire console collection

good. video games are garbage these days and there are way too many of them.
this will hoppefully cause them to take a long hard gay look at which games fail the hardest and why it's always the POZzed ones
hopefully we can get society back on fucking track
hopefully people can stop thinging of "gaming" as an acceptable goal and not what you do when youre retired, a kid who's finished their homework, or someone with a broken leg.

you aren t supporting anybody by buying a game, do you think they work for free? they get paid a salary and thats that, they dont get any money, the publisher gets the biggest cut , the people who make the game also dont lose money if you pirate the game or dont buy it at all

oyu probably think you are doing a good thing by feeding into your pathetic gayming addiction either way, but theres one thing you haven't considered: you are a dumb fucking faggot.

I still play tf2 in 480p

This is correct. Consoles are becoming nigger-tier. This is due to publisher greed and the fact that niggers are too dumb to realize they're being sold the same game year after year

What the FUCK are you talking about? That was never portrayed that way in this game. Lenny was just a fun guy and the one Mexican was actually a traitor who you kill in the first red dead redemption. The other dude was an Indian, but nobody saw him as a God. Nobody in dutches gang was considered a white dumb racist savage. In fact the only white guy that was portrayed as evil was Micah but that was just part of the story. worm tounge and all that. You see characters like him in all forms of entertainment Jesus none of you idiots even played this game. You're just made weeb shit can't compete

more like video game shill

Battlefield V messed up when they threw the last bit of historical accuracy out the window. Dead before it hit the shelves. This guy gets it:

Where did you pickup the 'Ausfailian' thing from, well, onii-chan?

There was nothing else to respond to because you're just talking out of your ass. Stupid dumb weeb scum. Go back to your generic japanese games and stop trying to act like you know anything about good entertainment

Only incels are playing video games in 2018. I am buying pussy.

Not meaning to interject but I've said Ausfailian since 2005

Video games are for teenagers.

no? They are all on iRacing. And the last Ass Corsa.

Not a crash but recession.
Japanese console market is completely dead, 50% of Western devs have sold out for one of the 3 easy answers for minimal risk
- Card game
- Mobile game
- Reused assets to the point that even normies notice
On top of this major devs at Valve have completely checked out because Steam has infinite money for minimal investment/risk so even they who aren't at the behest of shareholders are just not making games because it would literally cost them more and possibly hurt their "brand."

Rough times ahead unless there is a change

Fourth Reich will be a Judenreich and video games will be a staple of generative degoyification

Since 2012 the major video game publishers (EA, Activision, Ubisoft) have seen their net profits skyrocket. I kick myself everytime this topic comes up for me not saving the link, but basically since 2012 the cost to develop games has gone down, as basic things like engines and assets became easier to resuse. Meanwhile profits have gone up as more games include microtransactions and non-mobile games shift to a "fish for the whale" mindset of spit out enough games that at least some players will get addicted to some of your games and spent a ton on microtransactions. Those sales you see are part of the razor and blades business model. Get the full 60$ from the early adapters, then keep cutting until you get it in as many hands as possible, then once it's out there fish. The only major company NOT following this model (so far) is Nintendo that still operates on the outdated "sell a product for more than it cost you to make and keep the price high indefinitely" model. It certain works in their case, but you have to question if they could make more by doing more cancerous things.

There have been a lot of shit video games lately, which has been a trend since around 2010 and has only gotten worse with SJW beta cuck devs who have decided their gay ass politics needs to be a story plot.
I'm quite happy to let the A+++ companies shit the bed and ruin their reputation; they've been too big to fail for quite some time and it's about time people look at indy devs for the next big thing.

>rdr2 is sjw
How you know someone didn't play or understand the story.

Dutch's gang are portrayed as proto-sjw's in 1899. The gang is multiracial and Dutch makes it clear he's incredibly left leaning pretty much from the get go. Other NPC's even comment on how progressive Dutch's gang is compared to the rest of the world. It makes sense that his chief lieutenant would also be a bleeding heart. The game also goes out of its way to show why Dutch's philosophy is well meaning but retarded.

Assetto Corsa Competitzione yes, soon.
iRacing too for obvious sim accuracy reasons, but some pros also compete in GT Sport.
It makes sense because you can compete in GT Sport everywhere in the world without first setting up your €600 Fanatec kit, €300 Playseat and so on, which itself isn't a big deal, but hauling it around with you across the world is.
That as opposed to a 12" console you can plug into any TV, and WiFi (not that you should) and play with minimum effort.

this is 18+ forum child get the fuck off and stop wasting the most crucial years of your life on the video jew you will thank me later once your balls drop and your hormones kick in

Not only does PC offer a wider selection, but there are always sales going on. You also get access to games made by companies who still give a shit about interesting gameplay and aesthetics. I'd bet money that twitch is driving a lot of zoomers to PC, people always want to imitate entertainers.

Gamer paypigs are finally waking up and starting to vote with their wallets.

I literally just bought Hitman 2 on cdkeys for 30 bucks.

Cant wait until the new doom and all the butthurt kikes discover that trying to subvert us doesnt grab any shekels.
They will schizoid even further.

You're an idiot. Video games are great way to get people to reduce their time overindulging in satisfying things (like hunting and building a log cabin. Man things) because, try to imagine this retard. Imagine those shitty threads you make "why aren't you hunting and breeding" imagine if every guy took that advice and we all decided to go out hunting. What would happen Tomorrow? News flash we'd have United everything to Extinction if every man decide to be a man. We'd he hunting each other.. Imagine if we just kept breeding to ensure white people are always on the rise OH BUT what's this OVER POPULATION! Video games help people keep the satisfying hobbies in a moderation check list. I like hiking, I like hunting, unlike fishing but I can't do it very day, video games like rdr2 give me that immersive feeling without actually ruining any of the ecosystem with my overindulgence because I just had to be a man. You people know nothing of the value of entertainment
