Greatest Vidya Blunder of 2017

This, there was never any hope for Overwatch with Virtue Signalling

Mass Effect anusmedia held the spot until Battlefront 2 came out.

Mass Effect was a colossal mess but at the end of the day it only fucked over Bioware and everyone was kind of expecting the game to blow ass because Bioware has been shit for a while.

Battlefront 2 though. Not only is this game fuck over EA/activision it's also shit on the star was brand and Disney by extension. Bonus points for actually getting lawmakers to draft legislation to ban microtransactions. This is the kind of shake-up that can cripple an entire industry. We're talking ET cartridge burial at the desert tier. I just hope more and more shit gets thrown EA for fucking up this badly. They need to be removed.

Battlefront 2 definitely takes the cake for sheer value loss, but I still feel like Lawbreakers is a contender for biggest blunder for just how pathetically ignored it is. At least EA will still be able to make games after that debacle.

Even with all the backlash, Infinite Warfare still sold 12 million copies. Most devs wish their games would flop like that.

Holla Forums Holla Forums

And how is that different from actual overwatch?

Overwatch has fan made 34

Overwatch with Virtue Signalling as a selling point. Here's an easy measure of how much virtue signalling one franchise has in relation to another: how much porn of it is there?

Fortunately it is called the unicorn audience for a reason. Call of Duty occupies a uniquely retarded space in the gaming world.

Overwatch has ass n tiddies.

wtf is up with rockrock64's gf?

actual blunders, not what game is most likely Holla Forumss panties in a twist

To be fair it supposedly didn't sell well.

it sell like utter shit on PC, which is the platform most familiar to the series. I don't know how it did on consoles but I doubt it was a massive success

this is why Holla Forums is too stupid to discuss video games

For me it's either No Man's Lie or Mass Effect: Androgyny. I can't decide what's worse: Having your entire company abandon the building and dissapea

I haven't been keeping up with events in the past few months so I don't really know anything B2 and the legal shit.

disappear*
Or fail every single aspect of your game so much that it passes as postmodern art.

Fucking misclicked post reply.

Star Wars was the biggest blunder of 2017

Star Wars Battlefront II just for the fact it permanently fucked over EA's loot box cash cow gimmick and fucked over the whole AAA industry.

It sold poorly enough to get farcry 5 to be less blatant about how anti-white it is.

It really was though. A completely stillborn IP.

Honestly I'm just in awe of how bad the star wars movies are

No contest.

...

Everyone expected Lawbreakers to be shit, but nobody expected ME:Androgyny to be incompetently shit and nobody expected that even normalfaggots would rally against EA for jewing out the SW franchise.

RotJ wasgoodtbh.

MAAAAAAAAARK
It's k i n o

Did you watch it way back then? Watch the trilogy now, if you're not screeching in frustration after finishing ROTJ you're either daft or don't give a shit about what you're watching and might as well continue to the prequels.

You fags should trade stocks, at least then you'd have a reason to celebrate.

Return of the Jedi wasn't terrible. It was enjoyable. The only parts I considered boring was the Endor shit during the Death Star and Throne scenes. Ewoks holding their own against Stormtroopers isn't a huge stretch because Vietnam.

And the Jabba scenes were fun.

Jabba would've been a good introduction if the writers and director weren't smoking hash.

Battleborn was a bigger failure since it was supposed to be a big Gearbox title but was dead on launch. At least Lawbreakers had some support after release, not that it's saying much.

This isn't the place to be if you want the industry to be saved. It never has been.

I forgot about that. Here's the webm in case anons wondering what the poll is on about.

And the full match in case anons want to scratch their heads.

HOW DOES ONE FUCK UP THIS HARD THIS IS 10 YEAR OLD FIRST RTS KIND OF SHIT

2011 Yahtzee sounds like an entirely different person, and that's just the voice

...

At least those anons were actually brave enough to play. I think 3/4 of the fags were just watching. The fighting tournament will be streamed so that should be fun.

Well we didn't get breakdancing. We got Dagobah bumping.

What about the ONLINE LAG, user?

man, lawbreakers or battleborn
it isn't easy to decide which one was worse

The spic who's running it is telling me that fightcade will solve that. Also EU and the Americas are having separate tournaments. >>>/radcorp/3121

Probably Lawbreakers, it had bigger names behind it and more of an agenda to push.

You could add the Battleborn Rule34 subreddit that Randy TOTALLY DID NOT MAKE as it's own blunder.

Oh fuck, I forgot about that.

wait a second
remember what happened with kurt eichenwald and the tentacle porn?

Not vidya. Freaking hilarious though.

Battleborn was last year you niggers

Pretty sure she's super THICC. Plus he needs to do something, anything, on his own for a bit. She contributes next to nothing to his videos.

Also there's gonna be a wrastling tournament on that one PC wrestling game with fire or something in the name but that's a good few months away yet.

That was a very entertaining evening.

That Stealth Tank blunder was the worst.

The worst part is that user was running the tournament.
I can't wait for him to fuck up again in the fighting tournament though.

What's lawbreakers?

Well, at least he has good taste. Facesitting is god-tier.

...

I joined a jojo tournament that Holla Forums ran over a year ago and that was fun. Which fightan are they playing? I'll probably join regardless of game, but it's nice to know.

There's a post over here but I think it's Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. Suggestions still open for other games but the first one needs to be something with wide appeal.

Did you know that Battleborn r34 is, in fact, a thing?

Randy Pitchford liked it so much he linked it on his twitter a short time after it was made.
The world is full of coincidences, isn't it.

Wow, sounds very interesting. CLICK LINKS WITH CAUTION. Very NSFW!

Read the fucking thread.

Newfags need to leave.

Ewoks vs Stormtroppers is like the modern US military against indians. In Vietnam, they had guns too and built lots of traps to handle infantry. Ewoks had sticks and stones and destroyed well armored vehicles with ease.

Still what is even the point of armor in Star Wars? Everyone is one shot anyway by lasers and it stops nothing.

I'd say andromeda, but the real blunder was not mercykilling bioware right after ME3 released years and years ago. It was obvious to everyone (except EA apparently) what would follow.

What the fuck is the nightcrawler98k thing even about?

To be fair the actual incident happening live was in a fairly obscure thread. The webm giving context, however, is not 30 posts above this one.

nevermind, found it

...

It happened fairly late on though and since streaming wasn't working I doubt all that many anons saw it live. Luckily the failure was recorded and this thread has brought it to light for all to bully.

Wait for the fighting game tournament failure.

I've never like SW but holy shit stop justifying me any second now.

It's okay user
at least Star Wars fags will stop boring us to death with their dead gay franchise from now on

If only 40k retards would follow suit.

Until the Ham Yolo movie comes out.

40k autism is like mount and blade and stalker autism. It's not going.

This comment here.
Do we give rewards for stupidity? Because we should.

Yes we make them BO

This week's gamenight.

Battleborn was 2016.

Star Citizen is the blunder of every year.

The latter is so bad it's actually killing an entire monetization scheme.

EA SW BF2. When Disney and the Guvmint gets angry at you, you dun it.

That explains that.

...

You really need to kill yourself you consolefag weeaboo autist, you're fucking blatant.

HARDCORE JAPANESE CARTOON PORNOGRAPHY

he has great taste, I don't get the video

The Sheev Spin

I'm still pissed off at this
Why woulf you choose the more complex faction if you had no idea what you were doing?
Why didn't you build anti Inf vehicles when he had a combined arms blob?
Why the fuck didn't you micro those stanks when they were the only units you had?
WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?

To be fair he was an Argie. They can't even make boats that don't sink.

...

The Vietcong had vast tunnel networks, and constantly took the Americans out of their comfort zone. It wasn't a war over territory, it was a war over lives lost and gained simply because of how efficient the VC were at guerilla warfare, and concealing themselves and their position. Any ground the Americans took would be extremely hard fought, only for charlie to run away and come back when the Americans had already largely pissed off. Not to mention that the VC used the locals in order to hide supplies, weapons, and etc. And any one of them could be supporting the VC and ready to kill an American if he had the drop on him. The ewoks in comparison were fucking ridiculous, killing the stormtroopers with rocks, stones and nets. Fuck ewoks. But jar jar binks made the ewoks look like fucking shaft, even though they were rubbish.

You weren't aware that it's all intentional? Jar Jar is literally fighting with the Drunken Monkey-fighting style. Because in the beginning Lucas had the idea of Jar Jar being a secret sith.

...

3 days left to decide on the biggest Blunder of 2017. Seriously why is anyone voting for 2016 Blunders?

Anyone remember Raid : World War 2, that game that uses Gayday 2's engine and was developed by the Croatian B-team working on that game?
It didn't fly so good. I checked because I saw it was 75% off on Steam even though it was released this year

Less to do with the content, more to do with the hypocrisy.

I forgot it existed to be honest.

pics of her or is it just all suppositions?
Also him going full LPer is one of the greatest losses of the current years

If only it were legal to kill normalfags.

this tbh

Seems than in first place it's: Lawbreakers
Followed by Jew Wars Shekelfront II, EA Kikes Back
and in third place is Nightcrawler98k's RTS cred for his failed Stealth Tank attack during the DTA tournament cause why go where the enemy is unprotected when you can just send your units right into enemy turrets and get them all killed?

A true vidya blunder would be one that is devastating to the companies who were involved in making it. Battlefront II was a major flop but we already saw this coming, the magnitude of course was increased by terrible publicity and potential lawsuits but it will only make a tiny dent that EA can manage.
Please consider this.

I would say Lawbreakers because the whole thing was basically this webm I just made.

EA Battlefront 2 was close but the loot box thing was something that was going to happen eventually.

You faggots seem to have forgotten the biggest FGC blunder this year. Can someone post the screencap highlighting the trainwreck?

That's just business as usual for Capcom at this point

No, at it's apex it was reaching Tortanic tier. I remember them nearly poisoning fans with their "gamur bar" recipe they posted on twatter and them fucking up so badly that even Yidsney was threatening to pull the IP from crapcum ala EA and Starwars.

I really should've participated in this, the only man worth a damn in that tournament was Unshoedtie.

NMS was 2016.

Superfluous but another thing about RotJ is that Carrie Fisher had an obvious coke nail during production.

Well, since you put the last jedi on there I'll have to go with mega milk jedi simulator.
