If you’re just talking about number of copies sold, using the term “best” is confusing

I’m out of the loop with GTA VI, but the last I knew of it the only thing they’d released was a cinematic, non-gameplay trailer. Have they released gameplay now?

We’ll see how it comes out in the sales figures, I suppose! I would like to believe you’re right but I just have absolutely not a jot of faith that people will stick to their outrage. 😂

Not casting aspersions towards you personally, but we all know how gamer boycotts go generally. As in, they don’t. People cave and buy the games anyway, once they’re over the initial outrage. This is 100% marketing.

I have come to accept that this is a PR campaign to plaster the name everywhere all over social media and let it worm its way into currently pissed off gamers’ heads for a few months down the line when they’ve calmed down and inevitably buy the fucking thing.

Pitchford is a slimeball. Rarely has a man who is allegedly not an insurance or used-car salesman given off such nakedly scummy vibes.

We need to stop giving free publicity to this little marketing man, and to this poorly optimised, expensive game.

Why does he look like a megachurch pastor in this thumbnail?

Additionally, people are still buying this strange little man’s games? Why? Lol

1. Paradox changes their mind, allows either some or all initial DLC clans through as free content
2. Consumers forgive
3. Consumers forget
4. Paradox refines their approach and tries again next time

Consumers are way too forgiving of the scummy monetisation practices that these companies demonstrate again and again and again and again and again. Happened with the whole PSN account/Steam debacle too.

No thanks 👍

Haha, nice. But people always pay it so this sort of thing will keep happening, as it has for a decade or more now 🤷‍♂️

Oooh this could be interesting! I used to really like dtrh but I stopped watching when he did that inevitable youtuber thing where they spend months and months complaining about how impossible the video they’re working on is and when it eventually comes out it’s like six hours long and utterly tedious lol

Different dev team, different game - the headline is a bit weird but this game is not related to “the day before” at all, people are just referencing it because they reckon it’ll fail the same

It’s not the same guys, nor is it a sequel - it’s a totally different game called CrisisX. People in the comments on the trailer are calling it ‘The Day Before 2’ because they expect it to be a similar sort of failure.

Why is Diogenes in that picture lol

Haha, awesome. Have a good day ✌️

Is that your opinion, in the same way that it might be the author’s opinion that Disco Elysium is the greatest RPG ever?

Why did this incite anger in you?

Is anybody actually excited for new triple A games? I can’t remember the last time I was. Maybe Space Marine 2? But even then, I was really worried about how they’d jam it full of microtransactions after charging £70 for the base game or some other bullshit.

I find it hard to believe people are genuinely excited in the more mainstream gaming space nowadays; I might be (am) being very very cynical but for a decade or more it’s felt like these “big” games are increasingly anti-consumer.

Also the horrible commonality of game development studios and publisher higher-ups (and regular 9-5 employees) being implicated or found guilty of sex crimes. It’s pretty concerning.

Very true!

The internet is sort of fucked. It was bad enough with marketers ruining search and sites through SEO obsession, but now with this chatbot bullshit everywhere? What’s the point? It’s all bs.
