You know, looking at the past couple of years or really just the past 10 months, it has been quite noticeable the amount of news about garbage games coming out that fall flat about an inch from the starting line. We got Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, For spoken, Unknown 9, Dustborn, Skull and Bones just to name a few. What is particularly noticeable is how a number of these games are supposed to be Triple A experiences from supposedly great studios but turn out to be utter garbage anyway.:watchout:

Now nothing gets me laughing more than a spectacular failure that makes a multimillion company clutch its bank account in agonising pain. Concord is the biggest bust of them all. A game with a 400 million dollar budget that took 8 years to develop just to be shat out in in late August and taken offline in the first week of September. This game was online for like two weeks and performed so piss poorly in sales that Sony decided to refund everyone who bought this piece of dross and permanently dismantle Firewalk Studios.:kobeha:

The videos about it sure were hilarious though. They got more traction than the friggin game. :rolaugh:

Failure isn't just a great teacher. It's also a fantastic source of entertainment and so I made this thread so I can hear all the recent gossip about the failures of the gaming industry in one spot.:willsmith:

What, you think I was gonna make a thread for each game? Sony decided that Concord didn't even deserve a server, so I'm certainly not giving it its own thread. :pepecafe:

a lot of modern Ubisoft games are a good example of this.

I swear Ubisoft is only one bad game away from bankruptcy and that game will be Assassin's Creed: Shadows. The shareholders are already breaking a sweat.

Imagine wasting over 10 years on a game that was originally meant to be an AC: Black Flag expansion only to reveal that the game isn't even 1/10 tenth of Black Flag but demanding 70 quid for it anyway. :PepeReport:

Absolute clowns. :ClownStare:

Then we got Star Wars Outlaws, a stealth game with garbage stealth, lobotomised AI and basically one gun.

But hey, Ubisoft is a French company and the French taking phat Ls in the decade of our lord 2020 A.D. is as expected, natural and inevitable as the sun rising. First the worst Olympics ever in recorded human history and now the only famous French gaming company going down the chute that flows into the Seine River that nearly killed entire swimming teams. That's just a regular day in Frankostan. :PepeJoker:

And to anyone that might charitably think that these might be Ubisoft only Ls and not just French Ls in general, I present what a different French gaming company spat out this year.
France has fallen. Tis time to go.:PepeWalk:

Its like watching a trashy amusement park and its carny scams go up in flames.

  • On one hand, when you were a kid this park was really cool and you loved to go on all the rides. It was grand.
  • But on the other hand as the years passed, the park started turning into crap.
  • Many of the blokes who made it great retired, died off or became corrupt. Their replacements were even worse.
  • The rides start breaking down and there's even a few fatalities but nothing can be done about it since the amusement park attracts crowds of braindead orbiters who just go there because its the cool thing to do.
  • Meanwhile, you and a few others realise that the park's really gone to hell and its going to collapse into a disaster any day now, so for your own health you stop going.
  • The park eventually starts losing attention and its promoters begin calling you evil for not wanting to invest in their hazardous 'new' rides.
  • Then one day, without warning, as the park looks almost abandoned, the whole thing just collapses and goes up in flames because they didn't bother to improve or listen to criticisms, only listening to nitwits who didn't know anything about running a theme park and clapping seals who never criticise them.

And you just watch as the whole thing goes up in smoke. Its last few days before the collapse were spent losing money and barely getting any visitors. Its a bittersweet feeling watching a part of your past you once had so much fun in be reduced to molten slag, but on the other hand, its pleasing to see that this corrupted incarnation of something you once enjoyed is finally put out of its misery and the assholes who ran it into the ground now lose their jobs or go to jail for insurance fraud.



Golly I'm all mental. :PepeWalk:
