You mean exactly like other first party games such as Returnal last year....

Drama - Returnal's peak player count is 5642 on Steam!

Probably because everyone is busy with the "Trans-Friendly Fantasy Game Pack". I'm really sorry, this game doesn't deserve such a start:messenger_pensive:. Hang on Selene, probably you're going to crash again. Steam Charts Page

Thank you.

Revisionist history, persecution complex...this game sure hit a nerve with some ppl.

But also, "AAA" is just marketing fluff used to sell product.

Hey, tell that to the devs. They consider the game they made AAA.

 

[djjinx2]

It's quite literally the game Microsoft used to announce the series x.

Can you link me the video please?

The announcement didn't have it

 

[Panajev2001a]

Is Hellblade 2 a AA or AAA game?

For MS’s CFO it is an AAah game!

…

Hey, I liked The Order 1886 so I am bound to like this and I have it on my XSX, so I will see (still need to get to it).

That HellBlade was bought out as some big announcement at the Series X reveal. Nobody has shown me anything to do with this

 

[adamsapple]

Should be a lot higher.

I gave you a timestamp you mong. Do you not see the big xbox series x reveal on the screen behind your uncle phil?

 

[Skifi28]

Should be a lot higher.

And Ass of Can Whooping should have been banned, but what can ya do.

 

[djjinx2]

So you both show me a Game Awards video announcing HellBlade.

When multiple posters in this very thread make it out to be a huge announcement at Series X reveal.

 

[H-I-M]

Good luck to everybody working at Ninja Theory.

They announced the series x, and immediatley proceded with Hellblade 2 as the showcase for the hardware

Like, what else do you fucking want lmao?

 

[djjinx2]

Yes I see the timestamp of a game being announced. So? Every game gets an announcement?

It was literally after Phil Spencer spoke.....he literally introduced the clip....huh?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

And Ass of Can Whooping should have been banned, but what can ya do.

 

[FunkMiller]

And Ass of Can Whooping should have been banned, but what can ya do.

A large contingent of Gaffers have been secretly lobbying the mods for months now to get rid of him. But we think Ass has got some sort of dirt on all of them. Possibly incriminating pictures of them kissing photos of Jim Ryan.

That can be arranged.

You proper simple, lad?



Game Awards 2019. Big Series X reveal. Straight into Senua trailer. Literally the first fucking game fat Phil talks about for the console. You don't get much more 'this is a showcase for our new console' than that.

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

God, I wish we had access to how Xbox measures the success of its studios, how a game needs to perform, and for how long.

I'm not talking about the PR bullshit, of course.

I can call EviLore a cunt however many times I want

Dude.....just stop.

 

[Topher]

Eh......nice knowing you bro.

 

[sendit]

If it wasn't a MS game, one thread with 2 pages would have been enough and people would have forget it.

Sure buddy:

 

[Mr Moose]

Are you serious?


You need your hand held to lead you to the Xbox reveal?

 

[FeralEcho]

And how much oxygen is that in engagement numbers though?

 

[sendit]

A game with limited gameplay is going to get limited MAUs.

 

[Skifi28]

That can be arranged.

Doubtful. After the week he's just had, I think nothing can touch him.

 

[FeralEcho]

I found this the other day and thought this was interesting

Was that before or after he started snorting cocaine off hookers on expensive yacths?

Is he not right? By all accounts, Hellblade 2 *looks* like a triple A title.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Not by you it can't.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Man I'm going to wake up banned again aren't I lmao

 

[XXL]

More like it's masquerading around in the skin suit of a triple AAA title. Lol.

The deepest gameplay it has is matching shapes.

 

[XXL]

Man I'm going to wake up banned again aren't I lmao

 

[Topher]

Man I'm going to wake up banned again aren't I lmao

I mean......this is you right now and you don't have Samuel L Jackson in your corner.....

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Duplicate post, disregard.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

The game awards? Realllly.

The game announced with the Series X lmfao

 

[King Dazzar]

Is Hellblade 2 a AA or AAA game?

Same as films. The money spent to make it.

 

[Bizgamers]

 

[sendit]

The game awards? Realllly.

Embarrassing.

 

[Reckheim]

Yeah what’s the deal? The combat and graphics almost makes up for the snoozefest walks and boring puzzles. I don’t care that it’s sometimes automated, the combat is pure adrenaline, wild, brutal, immersive, gory, awesome, I love it! I haven’t finished it yet but I think I’m getting close and that makes me sad.

the combat is literally quick time events masked behind 'blocking' and hitting the Y button. There is essentially no strategy to it. I actually can't believe they dumbed down the combat from the original. You at least had to think about your enviroment and kite enemies around so you wouldn't get surrounded.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Not really surprised. It's effectively a sequel to an art house game where the combat was just ok and a lot of visual puzzles. But it sure does look pretty. I'm planning on checking it out after I've finished FF7 Rebirth but I'm a completionist and holy crap does that game have a lot of things to complete.

 

[yazenov]

Hell blade 2: Senua's bomb.

This is gaming whiplash to the highest degree.

That is going to be quite the experience. Lol.

 

[chromatic9]

Deader than a 8 year Hellblade 3 pitch

 

[skyfinch]

I bet the actress who plays the main character is upset. Probably at home, snarling her teeth to the point of having her gums exposed.
