So whats the most smug anime reaction image you got guys ?

This is just a shameless reaction image thread.

Most smug image in my folders. Better than smug anime.

that being said
I would imaginary suck someones dick, if he shoped the afro smug girls face behind the graph I posted and posted it

...

Im on mobile btw, thats why Im being a lazy fuck

You mean Haruhi, you clown? I don't even watch anime but I still know who that waifu bait shit is.

...

...

...

Good for you then, bruh

...

...

...

have these custom ones.

...

...

...

...

Not anime, but it expresses the whole of all of the smugs of the entire "Universe".

The Grandfather of all

...

...

...

...

Jesus, has any game ever fallen this fast? I think this might beat Tortanic and Evolve.

Oh good, I was just thinking I could use some more smugs

...

...

...

...

Curious to see how much of the loss is from the shit PC port, and how much is from people getting bored.

Anyway, for a SP game the only thing that matters is that all these people gave sixty currencies to the developers :^)

...

...

...

...

Finished dumping my entire folder for smug and laughter reactions images/webms.

...

...

the smuggest person is sean because of all the money he got

And I'd say that's about enough.

Depends. If Spore was the biggest disappointment then it won't be bad of these 2 games sharing many similarities. For example:
Lies, "random monster generator", empty promises, lies, crashes, bugs, errors, lies, false hypes, glitches and more lies.

Alright let's be frank here, can this thing be salvaged at all with extensive modding? This non-game is basically a big fucking barren plain with nothing on it, but a lot of room to build tons of shit if someone bothers trying.

...

Yeah the devs wont have to work until they die, thats obvious.

But I see this more as a laugh in the face of all the autistic fags who believed in all the comercial bullshit that the devs shoped down their throats and who were yelling how this shit changes gaming and how it will be played for 83859328 years cause of all the planets and stuff.

I actually respect the devs. They made fine money out of exploiting retards, thats cool in my book.

...

...

why ? It was never meant to be a good game in my opinion, just a way of making money.

Why do people want to make mods for shitty games, thats like building your house on foundations made out of feces. Dont we already have skyrim for that ?

There's potential to make something at least decent here, because the biggest flaw of NMS is that ITS SO FUCKING EMPTY

This isn't fucking Konami, Bethesda or Ubisoft where people who bought the game, are going to fix it for free.

Talking about that, it seems that there are now more frequent cases which games are becoming more broken

Speaking of that, I'm also noticing a decline in modding. Is it just me or is it dying out? Did Bethesda fuck this up? We were almost at a modding golden age, DID THEY FUCK US?!

I can't post just one

...

so lets say you make a miracle happen and NMS becomes enjoyable.
You will then play a game that has one of the most cancerous communities, not caring devs and for which you had to give 60 shmeckles ?

None of that turns you off at least somewhat ?

Politics is the new anime

...

It's a single player game made with a small amount of money by an indie studio, and it sold more than a million copys at 60$.

Their pockets are full, if people play the game or not doesn't matter to them. They lied the most in video game history and they still get to walk away as millionaires. Nothing to be smug about in that area.
You can only be smug about the game being shit and the masses of fanatics being suicide or still desperately trying to pretend that the game is good

lol. it's been in development for over 3 years.

You literally can't top this one, don't even try

Even longer. Sony had to inject cash into development as well.

Also, Sean pretty much ruined his reputation. The Toddler can get away with shit because at least FO3 and Skyrim were playable at launch and lived up to the "promises" made.

...

...

RIP Joe Danger 3

If Star Citizen ever releases the salt it'd generate would just be on another level

It's single player, who gives a fuck about the communities?
Hence the point of modding to fix it
Your arguments are dogshit m8

I think it began when Bethesda started suing people who made better job than the devs. And don't make me remind you of that Steam fiasco.

A theory also applies that now the "mod" creators are being kept under tight leash. Remember how the Boston salt party 2.0 started and what a big damage control it was?

...

the devs are cool. We laugh at the tardy fanboys

I'm pretty sure suicides will happen and Roberts will need to hire security to protect himself from fanatical autist trying to kill him.

I don't think Sony would pour money into that failed abortion and let them keep all the profits.
Even if the team did walk away with a million or two, they're done for.

At least 212,000 still paid the initial price, don't know how many refunded but I think the fuckers still pulled a hefty profit.

Wait a second, is that a play on the expression No Man's Land?

...

Seems to me modding is still going strong. Skyrim is still getting big mods all the time.

I think it has more to do with the fact that so few games today achieve enough popularity to encourage modding, and even the few that do aren't made with modding in mind due to the fact they are multiplat.

I imagine Butterlord will be really huge in terms of modding.

Well Id hate to play a game made for retards by jews, thats mostly what I meant by that. But if you dont mind that then I see how it can be good, yeah.

...

I mean, I thought it could survive the steam thing. But with that and of course the console-tards who want mods but don't plan on giving any are scaring anyone with talent away. I think Bethesda may have actually managed to kill modding almost single handedly.

...

...

FO4 was a major blunder though. First, it killed the main appeal of Bethesda games for their moronic fanbase, being able to make their own character and make up their own stories what with the preset background, family life and voice acting, and secondly, it severely limited what could be done with modding because they wanted to make them work on consoles.

FO4 was a flop in that regard.

In the past, there weren't any "free" engines like we have today, and getting a license to use the newest id tech or Unreal Engine required $$$$. So for a long time people treated games as platforms to make and distribute their own stuff. This is no longer the case when stuff like Unity and Unreal is available for any hobbyist for free.

Everything has potential; you can change any software into any other software with enough effort. It's the worst buzzword, worse than fun.

Whoa, easy there.

Have we really come a long way with vidya?

No, please, no. He does not belong with the other two. His life story:
I kind of respect him for how long he has managed to maintain his 1% meme party.

...

...

...

That's true. Perhaps its just the turn of the tide thanks to technological advances so rather than quality mods, we'll just see more indie shit in the future. That's a scary thought honestly considering how long modding has been there for us. To live in a world where modders are scarce. Obviously, there will still be a few dedicated modders, but the modding content will still be brought to a crawl.

What a time to be alive.

Now I'm curious.

I bet 10 bucks it's scat

Not all of these are anime, but they are all smug

>inb4 some faggot thinks KotH and Spongebob aren't anime

...

Probably right, knowing this place.

Just refunded it

...

...

...

Finally the day has come for this webm

I'm pretty sure refunding the game just makes Volvo give you the money back, not the devs themselves.
You still funded them.

...

We need one for smug.

...

I think I have the right smug for this.

Dunno, either way,im getting pizza tonight,and it will be more enjoyable then what I played

...

Shrugs can be for smug too
Im smug as hell shrugging at no mans sky.

jesus

stop posting cima I'm trying not to fap

I will tell you one thing.

People will always buy shitty AAA games no matter what. Look at DA: Inquisition, idiots still payed with their money for a fucking "tumblr: the game".

Possibly the main reason o why people buy those games can be due to the possibility of big companies using about half of their budget for commercials and PR. It all matter of generating hype. Always going with this "Look at how awesome and innovating this game is. You want to be awesome right?", similar like Mighty No. 9 combos trailer. And so the eternal cycle repeats, over and over and over and over… It's like people have the memory of a goldfish or they are just masochist, taking pleasure from despair.

These companies aren't making games because of entertainment and fun. Now it's only about business and sucking as much of cash from suckers. Every year another similar generic game imbued with deceit and hype. Always something that seems to be fresh and new while at the end turns out to be a big lie. Always with that same belief of "Maybe next time it will be great", always…

Even with the advent of the internet, people still have memories of goldfish

e621.net/post/show/776567/alcohol-anthro-balls-bedroom_eyes-beverage-champag
its not
i thought it was anal prolapse, huge booty and cum inflation

The smug keeps coming. Is No Mans Sky the next Mighty No 9?

Man i was happy when cima died.

Look on the bright side.

Over 700,000 have paid for it on steam alone now. It's definitely not a flop.

...

Sure, you'll always have a new wave of suckers and the usual morons that never learn, but 5+ years of constant industry fuckups have burned a large number of people. No Man's Sky reception should be more than enough proof that people are getting tired of false advertisements.

I guarantee you DA:I sold like shit.

It's less that and more the fact that there's so many people playing games now, so even if you piss off a large number of them there's always another cuck ready to take their place.

However, this can't go on forever because sooner or later you run out of suckers, as Ubisoft has managed to find out, forcing them to stop making yearly AssCreed releases.

...

Most younger kids (6-13) these days consider paying for mods to be the standard practice so far as I can tell. Oh and apparently Trigger Fist is the "coolest" game of all time.

3 years with a ~12 man/tranny studio

Huh. Genuinely surprised it ended up being generic furshit rather than something I'd normally expect.

These days, its best to assume everything will be shit till it proves otherwise. Funny that we live in an era where the predictable is the only thing that has a chance at living up to any expectation.

Is that number factoring in refunds?

...

My cousins are around 13-14 and they think it's ludicrous. Regularly make fun of valve, call them jews, etc. I'm proud.

...

Does it count that im smug by the fact that normalfag idiots got taken for a ride and No Mans Sky is being crucified for it? This guy is gonna be seen as a bigger hack than Peter Molnyeux.

She's literally a worse waifu than Ritsu.

Just because I want to fuck her silly doesn't make her my waifu

Good work then mate. I worked at a camp with around 80 kids which ended just a week or so ago. I had a table full of 8 year olds telling me about all the "Cool mods you can buy" at one point.

Nigga do you actually have thousands of smug animu grill pics saved for use as reaction images

Anyone got the uncropped image of vivian.

...

Guess she's fuckable, if nothing else.

That's an understatement if I've ever heard one

...

...

but
overly exaggerated fetishes IS the generic furshit

I can't imagine someone not wanting to fuck CIma. Especially a smug CIma. She also has a good suit. It's fuckable too.

>It's fuckable too

...

...

I'll rename it just for you.

The score on Steam has also dropped. It was at 58% yesterday, and now it's sitting at 56%.

Just like literally every other piece of media, the only thing that matters is advertising. If you can reach every single person on the planet and slap all of them in the face and scream at them over and over "THIS IS EXCELLENT! LOOK HOW EXCELLENT IT IS! YOU WILL LOVE IT!" for months and months and months, even if you're holding up a literal bag of dog poop, people will buy it by the millions.

That's why I don't even watch advertisements anymore. People are always bitching about how terrible youtube LPs are, but you know what? If you find someone who has the same taste in games as you are (even and especially if they're not popular) you can grow to trust their judgement. If they pick up a game and play it, you can get a free demo of the game, see how it is over the first hour or two. That way you never waste your time, never buy games you won't enjoy at all, never get fooled by the hype (or the backlash), and never end up fucked up the ass by a giant, spiky Jewish dildo just because you got impressed by the pretty packaging.

Why is this so hard?

...

Becasue it requires them to do something.
The average consumer, also known as fucking braindead retard, doesn't want to do anything after a hard day at his office job.
He just wants to sit down and get brainfucked by the electric jew to tell him what he needs to be happy.
So he can get enjoyment without any effort put into, even if said effort would be to look at a 20 minute jewtube video or read a critic or anything at all that can't be simply taken in but requires a minimal effort of using ones brain.

And honestly, I can't really fault Goodbye Games for their jewing. They played their cards the right way and made their money.
It's the braindead retards fault for getting fucked in the first place.
As long as that shit doesn't change, they will get fucked over and over and over.
Sometimes companies can go too far like Ubishit with AssCreed, but as seen, all they had to do was change the name from AssCred to WD or the other one in snowy NYC and it'll sell regardless.

Got a source on that? Reverse image search turns up fuck all.

...

...

...

They still made mad cash and got away with it.
Great scam on their part.

exhentai.org/g/728833/d05f364df2/
I guess I have to spoonfeed you now. You should ask in the source thread on /kemono/ next time.

I want that smug Kise Yayoi pic pronto

...

There are very few games where I actually feel ripped off after pirating. This is one of them. I pirated the game and then deleted it, then redownloaded it knowing this time what I was getting and couldn't even leave the first system without getting bored enough to turn it off.

I had fun laughing at how one reviewer said the game gets good 20 hours in. Buyer's Regret/Stockholm's

...

what, do you start raiding military compounds and pirate bases?

I remember all the stupid fucks that said you had play skyrim for 100 hours before you could have an opinion on it.

What's really happening is you're adjusting to the games shit factor and decide "well, I'm still playing it so it must be good."

Nah. From the sounds of it, you are given a goal/direction. Something games used to do with one screen of text at the start

...

not too long ago people would cry when given a goal and direction because muh hand holding

...

Was this thread a clever ruse to acquire a large amount of smug anime faces?

...

I miss the times we'd porn nuke shill threads

Western gaming is mostly dead. Our hope now lies with based Slav developers (eg. CD Projekt Red) and nip developers.

Goddamn i haven't been this smug in years

Remember when Wraith porn scared away the evolve shills

If a game doesn't make me want to play more at the beginning then it's already failed. Even if its the best game ever made after 20 hours, you shouldn't have to play 20 fecking hours before you have fun. Cucks.

The worst thing about this game being complete shit is it actually had sort of interesting tech and ideas that could have been made into something decent by a larger, more competent team.

I mean having entire planets to explore, that is cool. The game has no gameplay to do on them, but if someone actually added shit to do, fixed up the space combat, basically overhauled the entire fucking game..

Basically my point is no one can do this now because it'll be "ripping off no man's sky" and that kind of sucks.

good space game never ever.

remember when half of Holla Forums was duped into thinking this by a wraithfags sketchy story?

recettear was amazing

It's adorable

I made that thread ages ago with those guys from Gametrailers dogpiling the other guy for asking what you do in the game.
And also made that thread with barefoot Sean in an interview.

Good times, any of you fags still here?

WHAT, WHAT CREATES THIS TYPE OF CULTIST INSANITY?!

You mean improving upon it.
We need to gather a group of autists from Holla Forums to work on a small game together over Skype or something. God damn.
I'm not even kidding.
Would that be hard to do? I think we could pull it off guys.

marketing

I've been trying to do this forever

I even made a prototype

why defend when you can play? I wish I could harvest all this NaCl and build something with it.

...

...

I don't have any smug Chihaya pics.

...

Kill yourself nigger.

Thank fuck for this thread I was running dry on smugs

...

I can see it's a downards cyclicsal Trend
But why cyclical

Because people have to sleep dummy and shit like this will mostly be western Europe and America playerbase.

what's there to smug about? devs already earned millions of dollars, they would not give a flying fuck what happens to the game after

player base only matters when the said title is multipla- oh wait

...

...

I wish people like you were not allowed to browse these boards

Its all a ploy. They want us to see how bad these space games are, so that we never want to explore space. And stay on this planet spending our money on McDonalds and Fossil Fuels

yeah, rip

nothing to do but hope the marketing cost more than the shekels they got

...

Raises awareness in normalfags that preorders and falling for marketing hype are both stupid moves.

Yeah, same way porn games all suck so we're deterred from having sex

What's the source of that music? The "guitar" in the background really pushes my buttons.

Good taste.

...

...

That's real neato

Some loose math for anyone interested.
Average players per day/night cycle after release:
0 - 155k
1 - 105k
2 - 85k
3 - 60k
4 - 50k
5 - 35k (assuming the trough after the cutoff in OP's graph follows the trend of being slightly less than half the peak value)
The graph y=155-50x^(1/2) fits the data more or less:
0 - 155 (obviously)
1 - 105
2 - 84
3 - 68
4 - 55
5 - 43
It becomes less accurate towards the end since it's not a perfect fit, and in reality the line will approach zero asymptotically instead of hitting zero. However, taken with a grain of salt, this trend indicates that only a couple thousand - if that - will be playing nine days after release.
What a flop

...

So what qualities did this have in common with Pokemon GO?

No real gameplay.

Neither did Gone Home. There's gotta be something else, besides the hype. Some sort of trend

m-mods will fix it

...

...

I'm not updated on this, did GO flop and lose playerbase massively? I remember Nintendo's stock prices going up, then falling when it was made clear Niantic was really the devs.

...

So, I got this game just to see how bad it was, I did not have any expectations. But holy shit, is it bad, I don't understand how they could have fucked it up so bad. Its like they have never played a god damn rpg or even seen a good in-game menu. For when you are collecting shit, you have inventory menus. One is for the suit and spaceship so one can transfer to the spaceship, that is alright and dandy but the upgrades also take up an inventory space. How in the fuck did they think it was a good idea?

allot of shit turns my mind about this game, now I appreciate Todd Howard at-least he can make a fun game even if its flawed. Sean Murray is worse than Todd Howard, Sean said one could collect shit and have good upgrades and so on. But he failed to mention that the whole inventory and upgrade system is a mess a larger mess than fallout 4.

IF THAT CAT SEES ME FUCKING ONE MORE TIME

Did Todd even lie that much about Fallout 4? It was mostly finished when they announced it so there weren't that many features they could remove from it.

double dubs confirm

No worries, noone will ever see you fucking

...

...

Falsehood? On my Holla Forums?

HAHAHA
YATTA!

I wonder how neogaf feels about this

there where some lies, obviously since its Todd Howard but they where innocent lies, since Fallout 4 is not a bad game.

Not like Sean Murray lies where he said you can explore,collect shit and upgrade things.

When you think of exploration you think about you can walk and all those fun things of walking in circles.
Collecting loot you kinda expect an ok inventory for the materials and all that. Upgrades one expects a different UI window for the upgrades and the suit plus taking things on the suit. you know basic rpg mechanics.

But instead they managed to fuck that up, for some reason. I don't know how they where able to fuck it up. So the have the inventory menu and the upgrade menu at the same place with minimal slots on the suit menu, ship menu and the multitool.

So 3 windows, you could have had 4 windows or 5. ,
1 suit slots for upgrades and other things.
2 for loot space for the suit
3, spaceship upgrades
4, spaceship loot one can store inside it, if one is a farmer.
5, for the multi-tool gun thingy.

So you can see how they did not know how to make a simple UI/menu for those things. Also the navigation with each window is retarded.
I'm not able to understand how they thought it was a good idea.

How does no one get this. No one is smug because of the devs, they are a happy and probably each fucking 6 or 7 guys every day on their yacht. Were smug because of all the retarded fanboys who were yelling how awesome this shit will be and who happily swallowed the devs throbing dicks while crying tears of normalfag happines. Its true that its not cool to laugh at retards, yeah. But cmon, its so much FUN !

...

I Tried.

...

The game is just a flashy standalone version of gmods spacebuild

I'm not a girl but hope I could be one day, so that has to count for something.

:-)

Very nice

Where are those TOP RAPE girls from?

I've been seeing the one on the right for years but I never found out where she's from.

You people are delusional. Murray made this game with a 15 member team, developers are going to be falling over themselves to throw money at him for his next project.

For that matter, fans are going to be falling over themselves to play his next game as well.

...

i dont get it, this happens with every game though. initial spike in players, then a huge drop as honeymoon is over and then levels off to start the slow decline as people move on to other games and/or finish the one they bought

these knee jerk threads are always useless. wow look at how much fallout 4 failed in the first month and then holding steady at 30K average players for half the year. what a flop XD. lets bring up that live feed of how many subscribers fine bros has, they gotta be at 0 by now :^)

Animorphs was best anime

Posting some dank OC

It's treason, then.

Monster Girl, a reverse search should tell you enough

...

...

It broke my friend's ps4, lmfao

I had some hours of fun with my peanus weanus haha

...

This thread lacks snug smugs.

...

This thread belongs in Holla Forums

...

your game belongs in trash

I am enjoying NMS. I'm on my second restart, stayed on my first planet, on my third ship now. Going to stay until I break a million credits. The planet I started on has nice comfy grass, some medium sized dinosaurs with 4 useless wings and no extreme environment. 0 tox, 0 rad. Gonna chill and explore for as long as possible.

...

...
