New Nuxom-style WW2 tacticool game released where you can play as the bad guys

I love how the "fascist Hitler girl" clearly has a communist-themed attire complete with the farming tool symbol on her cap. lol

Further context in the investor meeting

-Control 2 has a budget of 50 million euros and
needs to sell 3 - 4 lifetime sales million to break even

-FBC:Firebreak ( PvE shooter)has a 30 million euros budget and needs to sell 3 million lifetime sales to break even.

You think that one wouldn’t green light a project with an increased budget for a game that had lukewarm sales for majority of its release.

Take these numbers into consideration next time you see someone suggest veilguard wasn't an absolutely massive flop.

Didn't know they are turning Control into an Action RPG. I actually moderately enjoyed the first one.

Ive been playing Thief 2, the game from 2000. The game over which so many grognards drool. And you know it has plenty of female guards. Guard officers even. There was a moment when a male guard was complaining about smth to a female guard so the female guard said "Ill come to your workshop tomorrow and show you how its done".

It was actually remarked on as being strange at the time.
The original game had no female guards, nor did I see any in Deadly Shadows.

This is very accurate

A game about shooting yourself in the head - Fine
Being realistic to a ****** - Too far

Everything about Remdey business model is ******. Investors deserve to loose their money when investing in them.

I just found out that Legend of You has been delisted and will never be released so that the devs can work on...3D vampire slop.



This looked pleasantly unique. Too bad it's dead.

I would say that the only thing that represents the freaks more than a shoot-yourself game would be a self-hanging game. lol

You know years ago when Oblivion was made I wanted to see them release content packs for modders, even suggested such in the forums. Basically, I wanted them to create all kinds of template stuff that modders could then use to create entirely new worlds. I didn't have a problem with them selling the packs as what I had in mind was development suite kits so to speak that expanded the game, etc... to create new worlds and features of the existing game. Would have been a great resource for them while working on the next game progression and it would have given a means to further the existing games content as well.

But... the ******* Jew like mentality of them was this ****.

We can't have nice things.

Now I'm waiting to see the shills come up with some made-up metric to say this game was a success.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is actually a pretty good game and one of the few "mass effect likes" that exists. It mostly got **** on for not being an XCOM game, not because it's a bad game.

I love how the "fascist Hitler girl" clearly has a communist-themed attire complete with the farming tool symbol on her cap. lol

Because it's made by a clueless "anti-sjw" more than likely.

It's still a very fun detail regardless, since there really isn't that much of a difference between communism/socialism and what libtards think about when they mention nazism or fascism.

A bit short but that just means I enjoyed enough that I wanted more

Does "tactical shooter" mean popamole?

Kinda, but you're also directing your squad on who to attack, where to position, etc., if you've played Mass Effect then it's similar to that.
I also liked the story.

[wndrbr]

It's not a true Mass Effect clone because you can't play as a FemCarter.

Wish they went with the original version back at E3 2010 gamplay showing.

Ubisoft is done for.

I really hate respawning enemies

If only. Most likely Tencent buyout or corporate restructuring
