Star wars fans cant never have nothing nice.

But lets be real. Does anyone expect a good game out of this really? Or just another quicktime movie?
EmOtIoNs!-David Cage, probably

Fun fact, David Cage received the French Légion d'Honneur award back in 2014, which makes him a chevalier i.e. knight.

So it is entirely appropriate to call him a "silly French kniggit"
Is this like the British Knighthood which apparently can and will be given out to anyone who is remotely famous in the UK?

TWO POINTS! Well Horizon is fucking trash then. Bah throw it in the bin!

What's the point of this comparison? They are completely different games on totally different platform options.

I was just surprised a destiny update got such a high score.

Yeh, it is. Unless you were asking someone French, who'd then froggily tell you it's actually totally different.
Are there any French escapists on the forums? I think I've seen like one person who has that in their location column but they don't post much that I've noticed.

You mean Crystal Violet? Yeah, she's French. Parisian even. Rarely pops in tho, like you said. Don't think there's anyone else.

Not a good sign. Cut it out, Sony!


They're not wrong. Prey (original) had this figured out back in 2006.

So apparently this game failed harder than Avengers, at a launch date no less

A live service game, dead on arrival? Good. Maybe people are finally learning.

I didn't even remember this game existed. Did it have any marketing whatsoever because I feel like it was showcased once then we never heard of it again. Probably cuz they knew it was a bad game.

Someone pointed out that the game, right after launch, has a steam concurrent player count of "650ish" which I initially read as "650k". That doesn't sound bad at all, but then I reread it and realized that was 650ish. And even someone like me who doesn't follow player counts because I kinda don't care....yeah, that's fucking bad.

I heard about it every now and again but once I realized it was a live service game I pretty much stopped caring. Apparently I wasn't the only one. I didn't hear anything more about it until I saw the Castle Super Beast video talking about it and how it apparently screwed the pooch....or should I say, SE screwed Platinum.

I mean, it was sadly, clearly going to be the case based off of the first trailer. How the game even made it to alpha stage is baffling.

Not sure why the dude from guerilla games sounds so mad (HFW did really well, did it not?), but the Ubisoft guy should really talk. I mean ER will probably outperform whatever game his guy has worked on.

Oh, and these accounts are now privated, because twitter of course!

That's hilarious, especially with how the Ubisoft guy worked on BF2042, aka literally the worst UI the franchise has ever had.

They're both jealous, because neither of their game(s) are no longing holding all the attention in the world. What bunch of bitches.

BF2042 did get a lot of attention, just very little of it was good. They should be thankful nobody is talking about it right now.
