But what is a flop for this game? Less than 5 million sales in the 1st month?
not like they poured a lot of money, time, or even marketing into this

its gonna be a buggy b-tier brawler with some co-op/online slapped together and a mtx model around 24-36 months

and its hard to imagine it flops in any sense of the definition outside of flimsy, made up qualifiers that games journalists make up and change out on the fly

They moved the release date up to get away from COD. So, I guess WB are needing it to somewhat succeed.

i kinda expect it to have better online functionality and dramatically worse gameplay but :manny: the beat em up bar is low

Exactly, Avengers had no endgame and everything was terrible other than the combat.

This almost looks like it's the polar opposite. I'll hold off expecting a Gamepass drop in the near future.

We have no online beta or idea how well this co-op mode plays... I'm expecting a disaster. They didn't even feature it in this marketing campaign.


An open world online co-op game running on Unreal4 smoothly.... I don't have any confidence in this.

avengers literally did not have matchmaking for months after release - and it still rakes in money despite all the "its a flop" posts

the entire nintendo ecosystem runs on an online platform that would've been laughable 10+ years ago

there's a huge environment between trash bin status and GoTY that exists and does really damn well for itself, corners cut included. but im not trying to sell anyone on this game and i don't want it to become that kind of tangent either. like fr, phantom pain and for honor are gonna end up being better start-to-finish projects than halo infinite and battlefield. the way gaming is framed as a business is kinda ridiculous
