Sorry let me correct myself.
I am tired of gaas titles lol. Helldivers is no exception. Played it for about an hour and got a refund.

That's just cruel. I wouldn't wish stuff like that and Volcano High upon my worst enemies.

Like any game, there will be a tiny amount of hardcore gamers sticking around to the end. But based on the site and their math, it probably looks like maybe 2-3% of gamers are left. I took a guess there. But by their calculation it's going to be no more than 5% by the looks of it. Crazy. It cant even break the Top 200 games, where some indie racer called CarX Drift even has more players.

They probably made enough money off microtransactions already not to care tbh

ones a live service game and the other is a single player RPG.. Nice try though loser.They can't even save themselves
OT: the game was dead 5 days in.. It took me over 5 mins to find matches to play and win games to get the ps trophy for the app.

Other than amiibo and DLC Splatoon is a complete package that doesn't have any microtransactions. The downside is the drip feed of content. I have put thousands of hours in all the Splatoon games because the gameplay is just perfection. Gyro aim is still one of the greatest things added to console shooters.
Personally I still think Splatoon has the best graphics on Switch. From the ink physics to the details of the NPCs. Salmon Run enemies are actually tough and the ai can mess with you hard.
Splatoon is life.

Hey, I played Foamstars just to see how it was.
It was fucking boring! This is why it sucks beyond the GAAS fatigue, it is a game that appeals to no one and the monetization of it is fucking horrendous. It is no surprise why it lost most of its player base. It is a game for no one that nobody asked for.

Amazing how they sit in board rooms and green like this complete shit. Anyone who saw the reveal trailer knew within 10 seconds that this would flop, just like most of the other similar junk. They choose this shit instead of printing money with a new SOCOM or Killzone, if they continue down the path there on I wish them all the worst and my all the Gods fuck them.

Its a PS exclusive, they would of had some financial input into this junk, I dont think Square would go ahead with it without platform holders backing it, the Square top boys are probably crying with laughter.

Let Sony out of your head
I cant mate im a Sony boy, Im constantly looking for reasons to turn my PS5 on but theres a lack of decent games so when I see them invest in this junk instead of somthing good I get hurt and upset. The piece of shit hasnt been on for about a yr now and wont be untill the new Ghosts.

I feel u bro, tlou factions, this shit, concord, fairgame$, marathon , even if those 5 games didnt waste precious devtime and money we could get 4 other much better ones with actual potential for good sales and fun for players, so would be win win scenario instead of lose lose like currently.

Im sure its a good game, but its not for me anymore, back when I was 12 I would of picked it up, but for a hardened warrior such as myself im looking for something oozing with testosterone .

Its just a lack of creativity, and its not just 1 company its the majority. They have just been trying to copy and replicate games such as Destiny and Fortnite, them games can exsist but theres not space for loads of them. I hope the recent flops will trigger a change though and we will get new ideas or back to more traditional style multiplayer games, they will still be able to bust money off mugs for battlepass, skins ect aswell.

Fortnite exists and making fuck u money for epic, i think its similar phenomenon to back in the days every1 trying to make "WoW-killers", "Halo-killers" and "Call of Duty-kilers".
Ofc 95% of those games flop hard and none achieves actual "killer" status but those investors cant comprehend, that to achieve the S-tier lvl of a game, profits wise they gotta innovate and do damn good job at it too on top of doing it in exactly right time, basically catching lighting in a bottle, which cant be fricken copied...
You know it’s a whole different level of investment between paying something for exclusivity and greenlighting an AAA title for internal development ?
Any exclusivity deal would mainly cover PC and wouldn’t be a significant cash outlay. They wouldn’t bring it to Switch since it’s clearly a Splatoon ripoff.
Square would absolutely have gone ahead with it without Sony’s backing. On paper, this looked like a successful play.
You seriously think they’re ‘crying with laughter’ over the failure of a live service title that they nearly wholly funded? a title they would have hoped would make a ton of money for them?
Why are you lumping in Foamstars with games made by Sony first party studios?
Zero single player Sony games were impacted by Foamstars. It’s a Square Enix game.
