This game was forgotten after 2 days

no piracy = no sales

Denuvo happened.
>can't pirate game
>less people play game
>less people to talk about game
>discussion dies within days

They forgot to market it.

Preordered, played day -2 (korean VPN), beat the game before it came out in my country. Haven't picked it up since as it was more story focused so the game play hasn't changed once since the original.

clearly a new mirrors edge game needs more story

thats what everyone wanted

Mirrors Edge 3 when?

Didn't Anita herself give input for this game?

Never
the best we're getting is
Mirror's Edge: Origins (reboot)

It's not like ME was especially popular to start with

Denuvo

Yes, it's probably why it's the inferior version.

It's already discounted to $40 at my local walmart. kek

>the open world meme
>the non linear meme

>Everything is a meme......

>nothing is a meme

>we are memes.....

what is a meme

Wait, this came out?

Looks like they changed her manface a bit. Even so, another victim to the social justice menace. Let it die.

Nobody talks about it because nobody even knew the game was released. EA sent the thing to die, and then there's all the other issues the game has too.

Wait the game came out? I heard absolutely nothing about it.

>bought during recent origin50 deal thing so it was £12.50
>having great time playing through story
>parkour feels far more refined than in the first game
>Map is jam packed with side missions, deliveries, randomly generated runs, user generated runs, collectables.
>most graphically impressive game I've ever played
Why did everyone hate it? Its literally what people wanted from a new mirrors edge?

this already was a reboot

wheres the sfm porn of this fat assed slut

>mfw the only lesson EA will learn from this is 'don't make demos'

>open world
>what people wanted from mirror edge

I'd honestly chalk it up to the use of Denuvo. Without the ability to see the game, the word of mouth was mostly just mediocre and dull.

Hubs a la Deus Ex would have been nice, so that there was room to explore but otherwise linear.

Wtf this actually came out?
When?

I thought most player just wanted more levels and slight tweaks to the parkour system, they played it like a time attack game, and say it just feels generic now?

I don't know, but it was damn good. The use of an open world definitely deterred some things, but the overall game was one of the few things in 2016 that didn't suck.

June 7th I think.
I'm fairly sure I see at least one guy saying "WHAT IT CAME OUT!?" in every thread about this game

>make world open
>now you have to fill it
>make collectibles to fill out the empty city
>now you have to make them worth getting
>make them give you points for getting them
>now you have to make the points worth it
>LOCK MOVES BEHIND POINTS, INCLUDING BASIC MOVES AVAILABLE IN FIRST GAME FROM THE START
>now you have to dumb down the entire game because the extra moves are optional and all parkour and puzzles have to be achievable by simple running and jumping
on top of that you kill the main character and replace her with an ugly sjw who thinks shes all that and has a massive chip on her shoulder and give her a special snowflake dark past. on the pure gameplay side now you have scuff marks and shoe prints telling you what to do and where to go as well as a floating ghost doing what you have to do and a big red line leading you to places.

yeah, this game was exactly everything we wanted from mirrors edge

source right now

>What the fuck happened?
Anita

>sjw

How are you faGGots still spouting this rumor despite being debunked over and over?

BACK OFF!

fooled me with the way everyone reacted when catalyst was announced

>Map is jam packed with side missions, deliveries, randomly generated runs, user generated runs, collectables.

Wow that sounds awful.

It's not hard to believe because they did 0 marketing on it. It also didn't help that it came out before E3

>still spouting this rumor despite being debunked over and over?
play the game you twat. you think i just picked that shit up from nowhere?

here, pic related. its one of the devs

>all parkour and puzzles achievable by simple running and jumping
Oh so you haven't played the game. Good to know.
>faith is sjw
Oh you're just baiting nvm

>What the fuck happened? This game was one of EA highlights at E3
>What the fuck happened?
>EA
stop giving these charlatans money, please.
(trash exist because humanity is collective to dumb, and there is nothing you can do to stop it)

I just asked my friend, he didn't know.

>waaah some code monkey has a haircut I don't like; sjws ruin everything again!

This is why people laughed at your movement, twat.

>That hair
Fucking dropped

Mirrors Edge was garbage. Instead of making a game with interesting movement mechanics they just added stupid fucking animations to everything. Don't mind me, just being the best first person movement game to exist.

>First Mirror's Edge takes place in a modern-day setting with an east-asian influence
>Catalyst takes place in a generic shiny sci-fi city
I hated this

>Wahh no one bought my stronk independent female MC game so i'll cry about it on Cred Forums

Your filthy ilk is just as bad as GG kiddo

The series always catered to SJWs, m8

>this still image of a person at a desk shows you their exact political opinions
Are you fucking stupid?

If you shave your hair like that you're 100% insufferable. Fuck off you degenerate.

There was no such thing when the first game came out.

This came out?

The protag was female user :^)

And? Doesn't mean it can't be SJW

The first Mirror's Edge was 4 hours long and not even especially good to begin with.

The second Mirror's Edge was hardly anything like the first and shat on everything that could have been good about the series. Just let it rest in peace.

So your issue isn't political opinions but their appearance? How shallow are you, Cred Forums?

>he shot me down so I'll call him a SJW

okay

What game?

(You)

>she doesnt like bad pandering so i'll call her a gger
thats you and thats how you started in this thread

>literally nothing changes
>THE GAME IS SJW NOW
If it's SJW now it was SJW then. Or are you just using the word as a magical catchall for anything you wish to discredit?

She's ugly as fuck like most people involved with videogames, can't blame her for trying for "cool"

You absolutely love pandering when done to you. I also don't see any SJW pandering in this series

>heres an assumption about you
>heres me being stupid

okay

shitposting from both sides should be a bannable offence

If you don't want to be called a niGGer, quit throwing "SJW" at everything you don't like
Your boogeyman is a vocal minority.

No one wanted open world. What made Mirrors edge the best was trying to figure out where to go.

LE GOOBERGATORS LE LE GOOBERGATORS naGGers LE LOOK AT ME I BRING GOOBERGATE INTO EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH I SUPPOSEDLY HATE IT HAA XDDDD

>No one wanted open world

nigga what
open world running was one of the most requested features. it's sure as hell why I kept replaying those DLC maps.

>throwing "SJW" at everything you don't like
never happened you dumb faggot. the one throwing shit around and blaming boogeymen is you with you gg shit

It would be extremely painful.

2 days? It was forgotten the same day is was released

>MUH PIRACY HURT SALES

So where is the SJW pandering? Nigga if you wanna hate a game just because, don't come up with bullshit reasons to try and fit in with the cool newfags from Cred Forums

Mediocre gameplay and graphics
Denuvo
Unlockable Skills

SJWs were brought up well before GG. If you're gonna cry about da ebil liberals, expect people to connect you with an easily triggered alt right movement.

>He thinks modern videogames aren't pozzed as fuck
Am I living in 2010 or something?

>Alt right
What? Kid do you even know what you're talking about? Or are you just throwing off buzzwords?

Yeah, for sure it was GG fault. Weird since sjw buys games according to DICE.

for her

guessing its a flashback cutscene with Faith and her phat azzed sister

denuvo happened, want it or not, pirates are free advertising because of word of mouth.

there has been several times when I've gone to a friends house, see them play a game I don't know or didn't know that came out and get seriously interested, and buy it.

when you pay money for denuvo and probably don't advertise the game that well, either it's hyped cause it already has a name in the marked or it's going to remain niche.

mirror's edge was loved by many but it was still a niche game, not as famous as battlefield or cod for example, those names just carry themselves almost.

Holy shit, it came out 3 months ago.

it would REALLY help if you actually took a look at the game. that is, if you actually want to know and arent just baiting. because lets be honest, youre baiting, so no matter what anyone says, youre just gonna spout gg. and if you actually want to know, judging by how triggered you get when people mention the sjw, you will still deny any proof

Yes if I remember correctly she said the learning curve of the first game alienated people who suck basically

Denuvo is literally killing AAA games. Nobody is talking about them anymore.

Just look at how little discussion games like Doom before crack, Deus Ex MD and the new Tomb Raider game got

I don't think even with pirates it would have done well
There was a shit ton of bad press surrounding it by the people who played the original then it was released and none of them were satisfied and the bad press got worse
If you can't even satisfy your core audience how can you hope to satisfy others?

Youre right though its not like cod
The audience generally wasn't full of normies

>That hair
Sexy as fuck tbqh

>tfw about to hit 600 hours with this game
Open world is exactly what I wanted from ME ever since I beat ME1, and it didn't disappoint one bit.

Except the story, dice can't do story to save their life but I never played ME for the story.

Is this Nightmare on Elm Street? That line is close to a line in NOES 3. lol

You say that like its a bad thing when that's pet of the challenge of clearing the time trials

We are waiting for some awesome dlc just like the 1st game gave us

G'damn I love asian ass

No, user.
No talks about games anymore because gaming sucks donkey dick now.

>remember the layouts
Isn't that part of the joy of open worlds? This was especially easy since the city of glass is your toy to play with so you memorized everything quickly by jumping, climbing, wallruning etc.

>If you can't even satisfy your core audience how can you hope to satisfy others?

The 'core' audience is not the target for companies like EA anymore. They think that the so-called core audience is gonna buy the game anyway so you have to appeal non-core audience always.

>diversity is our strength!

Not when we look at sales figures, apparently.

>according to DICE

Alt right is the new "neo-con," a boogeyman for people that think Mitt Romney is literally Hitler.

ITT: people come close to realizing that SJWs don't buy video games, not even ones that alienated the fanbase to earn SJW approval... but then declare it's everyone else's fault and go back to hoping the next politically corrected sequel will sell better

Did those games suck?

ME narrative was shallow but in a good way that you could focus on the running.

/leftypol/ needs to leave

You didn't have people chirping at you the whole time. Remember when the comm went out in the sewers? That was nice.

so does /r9k/

When they modeled the mc after matress girl is when I lost interest

>people wanted open world Mirror's Edge

Maybe back in 2009. I'd say everyone is getting really sick of open world by now.

Uncanny

You liberal cunts are a blight on this board, right up there with shitposters. You contribute absolutely fucking nothing, you are easily baited by a simple acronym, you complain endlessly about Cred Forums politics while shitting up every thread with your own brand of horseshit politics.

Just fuck off back to >>/r/eddit, for all our sakes.

X-Men

>prequels are reboots
But they're not, user. They really aren't.

This

It just screamed like the game was getting cattered to specific audience rather than the one that plays vidya

>Cred Forums complaining about a different brand of Cred Forums shitting up threads

lol Cred Forums

Most games that have denuvo are forgotten unless cracked, doom discusson exploded after the crack, same with rise of tomb raider, the boards lighted up.

Most inteligent people will want to be able to try out a game before buying it, even with good reviews, because tastes are subjective. Unless you have money to burn or it's not you paying.

I wanted ME to be open world in '09 and I still did in '16.
Flood of open world game was never going to change that for me.

That mattress looks comfy af
7/9 would peacefully nap on

Get out of here newfetus, come back when you've played some video games
Quake 3

>continues being the victim and finding new boogeymen to avoid the argument

Yeah like I said, a fucking blight.

Doom and Deus Ex are pretty good

Alright well I guess I missed the boat on this thread time to leave

are you actually stupid? its a reboot

Would do anal with.

Are you? It's a prequel.

>it would REALLY help if you actually took a look at the game.
Not that guy but I did and its shit.
The world is ugly as shit. Textures pop out everywhere. ME 1 manage to look better (on PC at least)

Parkour is slightly better but is locked behind bullshit upgrade system that lock abilities that we already have in 1.

The story is boring and the main character isnt interesting at all.

Open world didnt add shit to the game beside backtracking and fucker like this are lying. People request more levels and better fighting and bosses.

Speaking of fighting, its worse than ME1 which is an accomplishment

EA just shat a big turd like they do as usual.
Its seriously one of the worst gaming company there is.

>you will never get a serious discussion about this game because no one on Cred Forums played it and only remember the stupid drama surrounding only rumors that people they don't like worked on the game, and any actual criticism based on the gameplay is re-iterated horseshit they read from the biased reviews

Origin only on PC, Memenuvo so can't be pirated, console players have better games to play than an inferior sequel to an already kinda boring game (atleast to normies).

So, Cred Forums, original Faith or reboot Faith?

Not into political advertisements, decided the game wasn't for me based on that.

>really enjoyed first one despite flaws like loadings time while restarting every challange
>some loadings in general
>years later sequel announced
>doubtful as fuck
>those first promo arts
>then change in artstyle
>finally see first gameplay
When i saw skill trees and interactions with that guy who helped us get out, I completely lost interest in it.

i just dont understand why youre shitposting about this. legitimately confused. its like saying tomb raider 2014 isnt a reboot either

Well I'll be. I didn't even know the game was out.

>Textures pop out everywhere.
They really don't.

>ME 1 manage to look better (on PC at least)
True. The texture quality was higher and attention to detail was better. Then again, it was a tiny ass game.

>but is locked behind bullshit upgrade system that lock abilities that we already have in 1.
Except there are only two abilities that are locked away at the start: roll on fall and wall jump, both can be unlocked roughly an hour into the game. The unlock system is ENTIRELY vestigial and pointless but sure as FUCK does not actually affect the parkour itself.

>The story is boring and the main character isnt interesting at all.
Yeah, but that is hardly a change from the previous game. In fact, it's still BETTER than the previous game, even if it's just one giant fucking cliché.

>Open world didnt add shit to the game beside backtracking
That is bullshit. The open world has some serious issues, but still adds a FUCKTON of player space and missions to do and makes the whole game feel more like a natural space to move around and less a set of perfectly linear obstacle courses with exactly one route through them.

>and fucker like this are lying.
They are not. Plain and simple. Making the game open world was THE SINGLE MOST requested feature, something that literally everyone agreed is the next logical step. Sadly, they did not do as good job of it as they could have, but claiming that "nobody ever wanted open world" is just moronic post-hoc bullshit. The single feature everybody asked for was the option to FIND YOUR OWN ROUTES THROUGH OPEN ENVIRONMENTS.
Also, even with the open world the missions alone are longer and there is more of them than there were in the original ME, so if you were right, people should actually be satisfied.

>better fighting and bosses.
Another lie. Nobody wanted bosses. People wanted no or entirely avoidable combat.

The game has SERIOUS issues, design wise, yet 99% of the complaints here are lies and bullshit.

>Are you? It's a prequel.
It's set in an entirely different universe you idiot.

I agree with this user. Less people playing = Less word of mouth = Less general interest.

Did anyone here even buy it on release?

>It just screamed like the game was getting cattered to specific audience rather than the one that plays vidya
>When they modeled the mc after matress girl is when I lost interest
This is really fucking sad and really shows how you people do care about bullshit boogymen far more than about the games themselves. Aside from the fact that who the fuck cares how a protagonist in an FPS looks, it's simply a lie. The whole controversy about Faith's look was ENTIRELY manufactured.

Faith looks like a motherfucking supermodel in Mirror's Edge 2. She is FAR more conventionally beautiful artificial almost anime-like looking doll than she ever was in the first game.
There was one fucking artwork that made her look weird and everything else plainly showed her looking like she does in the game: a generic pretty-face doll with daddy issues and conventional reboot Lara Croft story arc that is just one giant cliché, nothing more, nothing less.

I understand why the game flopped: they really failed to A) market it properly B) actually really capitalize on the original which resulted in this wonky "it's basically more of the original but not really expanding on it and it's just OK" product which they then walled off behind denuovo and Origin and god fucking knows I understand nobody wanted to fucking pay the full price for that.
But for fuck sake at least get your reasons straight and logical, and don't make up bullshit non-problems.

Nice to see another fellow 5 star Cred Forums user.

Reboot, she's got the face, body, booty, tight pants, hips.

*raises hand slowly*

Didn't even know it was out till I saw it at Target this morning

original is an asian slav goddess
reboot is a generic walmart doll

I WISH [place game name here] WAS OPEN WORLD!

Oh wow, you just made the game unfocused and boring. Open world-obsessed fags need to keep their ideas to themselves.

What's up with these stars?

>*description of an action*
Please crawl back to whatever internet hellhole you crawled out of.

[Only 5 star users may view this post]

Original all day every day, she a cutie

The abomination in the second game is something I can't stand to look at for more than two seconds

>Faith looks like a motherfucking supermodel in Mirror's Edge 2
you think people were upset that shes ugly? cause she is by the way. shes not a super model. shes a potato face cunt. but thats besides the point and seems to go backwards. we liked ugly chink face faith. then people "prettied" her up into a potato with a nigger nose

>I understand why the game flopped
clearly you dont, going by your a and b

Don't meme on me like this bro

Claiming that open world games are bad is just as fucking retarded as claiming that linear games are bad.
People like you who look for buzzwords and shitty simplifications rather than to actually properly understand game design are the true plague on the industry.

Communism

Replay the original and you'll notice there's a lot of things that don't add up to the original timeline, also the city is completely different, even the Shard which is the most iconic building on the city of glass, and is not even on the same area.

[Only 5 star users may view this post]

the game is nothing like its predecessor though, which is why it failed.

whaaaa.... did me coming to the berenstain dimension mean I missed the launch of this game? Seriously, I haven't heard one single thing about it here, youtube, or from any of my vidya-centric friendos.

D E N U V O

Jobless pirate fags couldn't play, so no threads or discussion, along with most people on Cred Forums only act like they gave a shit about the first game

This place?

Is the soundtrack good at least?
I liked the first one

Another fuckface who will bold-facedly lie about the game.
This fundamentally sick when you really think about it. This is your existence: You are lying because you need to maintain integrity on your shitty spite against something that could actually be criticized on a rational level. This absolutely terrifying.

Just think of all of those potential sales Ubi would've made if they just let the moral piratefags play the game for free

Everything is good except the story.

This
So glad neither SJW nor GG faggots existed that prominently back then, I don't think I could've enjoyed Mirror's Edge as much as I did if I had been bombarded by constant screams of "NOT ENOUGH DIVERSITY" or "THIS GAME IS FULL OF WOMEN AND NIGGERS".

>remembering the layouts
>Isn't that part of the joy of open worlds?
Not when the only way to learn the layout is by falling to your death and watching a load screen 100 times.

I wonder how you managed to shitpost without your red ghost guiding your fingers to each key

Game was just as much of a 6.5/10 as the first

>something that could actually be criticized on a rational level
okay. do it then. tell me how im wrong for preferring old faith over the new one

>most graphically impressive game I've ever played
r u blind

not that user, but I had this issue with the original in the mall atrium; had no idea looking directly at the horizontal bar was necessary to grab it. failed something like 25 times before realising.

This thread is making me question if any of you even played 1 or catalyst, I keep seeing the same misinfo being spread more and more every new ME thread, like the mattress girl thing.
Almost like you're lying on the internet.

What is this shit about "mattress girl"? I'm so out of a loop.

because mirrors edge 1 was a 3 hour long tech demo that really wasnt that amazing beyond graphics

How? You must be brain dead to even achieve that.

Cover art faith looks like the girl who carried around a mattress on her campus to prove she was raped or something

you know how girls cry rape for attention? this girl went a step further and took the mattress she claimed it happened on everywhere with her because more attention

Wait this game is out?

What.

How did I manage to not hear a single thing about this.

I was just playing through ME1 for the first time this week and quite enjoying it.

So not only is the new game out, but it's shit?

Depressing.

I'm not even kidding, I honestly didn't know it was out.

What,what, what? It's out? I totally didn't know that!

>THIS GAME IS FULL OF WOMEN AND NIGGERS
People liked Faith. Nobody gives a shit what a character is when they aren't forced, one-dimensional diversity bullshit written by shit writers on shit teams.

>but it's shit?

No, its fine and just as average of a game as the fir

>do it then.
Actually, any rational criticism will avoid the subject matter of the main character, because she was a completely bland stereotype in the previous game and she is equally as bland stereotype now.

Criticisms on the game can be leveled primarily on the level of open-world design which is a clusterfuck where its nearly impossible to memorize the landscape or even orient yourself, and as a result it's basically impossible to plan and visually confirm your route ahead of time, forcing you to rely heavily on runner's vision and partially undermining the whole benefit of the open world. Horizons and landmarks in this game are throughly fucked.
Other criticisms can be leveled at the combat system, which is once again mandatory and fucks up the pace of the game while not really adding anything beneficial to it, or the writing that just makes the world feel cartoony in terms of world building and terribly predictable and dull in terms of the actual plot.
A number of smaller issues can be found with the way the layout of the linear missions is done, or the way collectables are handled as well as some of the side-mission design.

Finally, from a business perspective, the issues I've mentioned before: poor marketing, platform restrictions and piracy protection actually hurted the game as well, making it difficult to sell.

There you have actual rational criticism of the game. But instead, you fucking mongoloids are too busy complaining about alleged conspiracy that never happened and flat out lying about character design which can be actually proven to be a lie just by looking at game screenshots provided in THIS FUCKING THREAD.

>one-dimensional diversity bullshit written by shit writers on shit teams.

So shes exactly the same a ME1 Faith?

Aight cool

>more focus on the story even though nobody played the original for that shit

It was sad to see it flop so hard.

I can't even begin to count the number of hours I spent on the only ParkourFortress server in TF2 becaused I loved the original game so much.

>People liked Faith.
No, they did not. Faith was barely a character to begin with.

>So not only is the new game out, but it's shit?
It's not shit. It's just not amazing either. Just like the previous game, it's a fantastic concept at core marred by some bad design and dull story.
They improved on some things, fucked up others, and in the end is just another case of a lot of money drowned in ultimately somewhat lukewarm experience.

If you liked the core gameplay loop of the previous game, the new one offers more of that, which is nice. But it fails to really expand on it, and it takes a bit of the atmosphere and charm away, which is not as nice.
For full price, I think it's a difficult sell. On a sale, if you liked the previous one, I'd say give it a spin.

Take a look at this retarded faggot

wow a story that I can just as easily skip and ignore with the exception of the beginning tutorial just like the first ME

Urghgh that's a super good point. The load times were incredibly obnoxious, especially when restarting races/trials or whatever over and over to try to get them perfect.

But overall, I thought the open world worked really well. Far better than I thought it would. But definitely before you get a good feel of the layout, if you've got runners vision turned off you've got to continually open and decipher your map, which gets really old.

Then regarding combat. I hated the announcement that they were expanding combat, and so many critics shit on their system, but I actually thought what they arrived at was all right. Far from great, but it wasn't forced on you very often, and the times it was the combat was just good enough that it didn't overstay its welcome.

And WTF it ran like dogshit. They should have stuck with baked lighting. All the time pass shit did was make some areas fucking impossible to navigate at certain times of the day.

there you stupid faggot. thats actual criticism and a reason why it failed instead of your stupid a and b shit.

and new faith is ugly you sack of shit
>hurr one picture
i played the fucking game and had enough of her potato nigger face. shes not a pretty doll in any way shape or form.

That's some top tier autism m8. Is that tumblr pasta or didn't you take the time to write that yourself?

it sucked

If you think calling someone a stupid faggot several times despite the fact that he was clearly right and rational and his criticisms were actually well thought from the begging is "agreeing with you", then there might be the root of your problem.

Hurr We are remaking an utter garbage of a game without VR support
Hurr new game is just reuploaded original game, its still fucking shit
People wonder what went wrong

People on Cred Forums only acted like they gave a shit about the first game in screenshot threads

>new game is just reuploaded original game
but it wasnt

> without VR support

Is support planned for the PSVR ? I'd love to play this shit in VR

Same shitty fucking dumb ass story
Same shitty puke inducing camera
Same shitty depth perception problems
Same shitty bugs
Same shitty BLOOM EVERYWHERE
Shit game got a shit remake and its fucking shit.

nah

VR is probably the only thing that can save this piece of shit.

>agree with criticism of game
>still calls me stupid
fuck yourself twice

Retarded mongoloid faggot detected

shitposter detected

I had fun when I platinumed this piece of shit so not really save it but add a cool functionality for sure

Idiot
I guess people find Skyrim amazing, so finding Mirrors Edge good should surprise me...

>this game is bad becuase I say its bad

I think its funny that you think anyone takes it seriously

no chapter story like the first one and the open world fucking killed this game for me and I was so excited

No, its bad because I have played tons of good platformers that dont induce gag reflex.
Its bad because I played good fighting games that dont remove the camera away from combat.
Mirror's Edge feels like a long ass sportshoe commercial.
It is bland. It treats a players as if he is a retard. It removes immersion by forcing 1st person in a such gameplay.
It is bad because the design is bloom maxed out.
And many many other reasons that make it a shit game.

>its bad because you have motion sickness
>its bad becuase its not a fighting game
>its bad because you were too stupid to look into what kind of game it was and thats the games fault and not yours

so whats the problem with it?

I wanted to come in here to rag on the actual game but it looks like everyone is ranting about stupid horseshit so why even bother.

Making Mirror's Edge open world was not a good idea.

This fucking hurts. Its not as painful as Guild Wars 2, but its the same story. Fan favorite game get super late continuation that was made by people who didnt like/play previous game that pandered to entirely different target group than the original. They both blundered and essentially killed not only their respective IPs, but the whole genre. We will never ever have a games like this ever again.

I don't have motion sicknes. I have idiotic bloom and shake and "MOVE CAMERA SPERGRILY TO MAKE IT MORE AWESOME" sickness. I have a sickness that detects poor graphical design.
Its trying to be a fighting game but fails at showing it
Its bad because I get to play and criticize games for what they are.
Keep supporting games for retards that need to show red trails or pain the sequence of surfaces u need to interect with in order to pass the map part.
>Muh Survivor Vision
>Muh Assassin Sense
>Muh Carrier guide
Fuck u bitch ass nigger. I have been playing vidya before your faggot dad even considered you.

wait a second, I recognize that strawman.

>that pandered to entirely different target group than the original.
Except it didn't. The game was a blunder and not entirely unjustifiedly, but it's not true that it blundered because it targeted a different demographic: it blundered simply because it was not nearly as well made as it should have been and it was poorly marketed on top of that.

You are so fucking pathetic it's actually amusing. That is a rare treat on this board.

No, they existed. You just didn't know what they were because you were still in elementary school when the game came out.

whats your take on why ghostbusters failed

and it's "failure" (its been out 2 days) and it being different have nothing to do with SJWs.

other than Cred Forums getting made at seeing females.

>whats your take on why ghostbusters failed
I haven't watched it, so I can hardly judge. I've heard the movie is just bad and not really funny. Then again, so were Ghostbusters 2, so...
I don't really see any parallel between the case of Ghostbusters and Mirror's Edge though.

Can't say why OP. It has Denuvo so can't pirate it.

No, my friend. Those are two things, with no direct cause-effect relationship. But the obvious shift in target group aliened the hardcore fans. If the game was just shit, it would be "that bad sequel that just failed" instead of "horrible abomination that killed everything".

If they pandered to the ME fans instead of girlgamers (and lets take a moment to acknowledge that there was no reason to do so, as ME was never targeted at girls, it just incidentally had mute female protagonost whose gender didnt have any effet on the game) then at least somebody would have liked it. And as it is now, there is nobody who actually was pleased by this thing. Not old fans, not new fans, not SJW, not feminist, nobody. There is literally nobody who could talk about it, except for lost ME fans who hate it.

>I don't really see any parallel between the case of Ghostbusters and Mirror's Edge though
wasnt making one. is there some reason why there would be?

More like:

Console consumers eating shit and taking it deep up the ass while they lose their hard earned money

PC gamers pirating shit games and playing them for a day and quitting, raising the bar for whats worth buying and lowering the price at the same time.

As a studio, a corporate studio especially, its very obvious to just make games for the console consumer, they are less picky and its not as easy for them to pirate your games, sales a rare as well.

Each consumer base has its problems.

Crack when??

>Making Mirror's Edge open world was not a good idea.
It was actually a brilliant idea and pretty much the only logical continuation of the franchise.
That said, it was not executed well.

>But the obvious shift in target group aliened the hardcore fans.
Not really. There never was a shift in target demographics.

>instead of "horrible abomination that killed everything".
Except it's not a horrible abomination that killed everything. People who claim that are idiots who ride the SJW paranoia train and never played the game. Or the original one. Or even cared about either.
The game is decent. Which is not enough, it wasn't enough for the previous one either: original Mirror's Edge was just as much of a flop as this was. And it "killed" everything simply because it's the second time ME failed to really make a big bang, meaning that EA is pretty much sure not to invest into it anymore.

But the game does not deserve and fucking hysteria. And there isn't any, outside of a vocal, retarded minority DESPERATE for things to throw hissy fits about.

Original Mirror's Edge fans were not NEARLY as numerous group as you seem to think. And most of them actually don't hate the game, they are fairly indifferent to it: it's not bad, it's more of ME, but it did not actually fix the fundamental issues the original had, or expand on the good stuff.
ME:C does not target girls anymore than original ME does, Faith in the first game was not mute (she spoke a LOT during the cutscenes), nothing has really changed except for them making Faith younger and a little more generic pretty gall.

People did not talk about it because it was mediocre, not because everybody hated it. There wasn't much to really talk about, and lack of marketing and poor platform choices even further crippled the interest.
That is all.

>People acting like Mirror's Edge 1 was a great game

I mean yeah, I liked it, but I don't even know if I'd even call it a GOOD game. Plenty of portions were poorly designed or didn't make sense. The story flat out sucked but worked on a basis "get from point A to point B" level

Mirror's Edge should have a solo game, because it was just an experiment.

overwatch produces a precious "colorful/bright world" in western games, and is more weeb and anime nerds who are teens or asians friendly

for this reason, that has automatically become a half-assed ugly azn game and too mediocre, maybe

>developer
>EA DICE
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA

The game flopped because EA didn't bother to advertise the fucking game. If people actually knew it had come out maybe more people would've bought it. It's a shame because it's a really beautiful game, and the gameplay is fucking amazing. The art direction isn't as focused as the original but it still manages to hold up against most games today.

Also you get to climb this big fucking building which was worth every penny imo

Including me, I saw some beta footage with extreme handholding and thought that final release will be a complete wreckage but never saw any threads on Cred Forums.

Mirror's Edge wasn't interesting because of its gameplay. It was interesting because of its aesthetics.

>Not really. There never was a shift in target demographics.

I mean, why do you even post at this point? You are either lying, you have some agenda or you are actually blind. Can you explain yourself? The entire focus of the game went from gameplay to story/characters. The characters shifted from 90s B-Boys to PoC freedom fighters. The whole assist system changed drastically on top of blatantly copying popular games like smearing shit on ledges to jump on and footprints on walls. The presentation and marketing shifted from "immersion free running" to "Legendary girl returns better and faster than ever before, will it be enough to bring justice to the world?".

The game obviously isnt targeted to the same audience. If you cant acknowledge this obviously apparent shift then we are done.

>console players have better games to play

I enjoyed it. I think it's one of the fresher games this gen. The freerunning still feels great. Too bad we'll probably never get another.

That's a big... Fan

What?

Catalyst was released in June, user.

>I mean, why do you even post at this point?
Mostly because you are a lying idiot and that irritates me. YOU are the one who needs some serious explaining to do, because you are literally LYING about a game that you don't seem to have even played in the first place. Let's break it down:
>The entire focus of the game went from gameplay to story/characters.
What? THE FUCK. Are you even talking about? There is just as much time devoted to exposition in the Catalyst as was in the first game, but there is FUCKTON more of actual gameplay content. You would have known this if you had actually played the game, but now significant portion of the game is actually dedicated to the actual RUNNING, with the open world being chock-full of trials, delivery missions, collectables: there is far more actual gameplay stuff to do than there was in the previous game.

>The characters shifted from 90s B-Boys to PoC freedom fighters.
Except that PoC freedom fighter character you saw in the trailer is one of the games secondary antagonists, and the actual main protagonists are just equally as bland and generic "we just want to run and be left alone" stereotypes as they were in the original game. In fact, what they did with the story is that they shifted it from being primarily focused on character-driven detective bullshit to what people REALLY wanted to learn about - the history of the town and the society.
I mean, they did not do a good job there. The backstory is pretty terrible, but it's definitely no worse than it was in the first game.

>The whole assist system changed drastically
It's exactly the same. There is literally a "classic" runner vision mode and it works just as it worked in the previous game. The footprints are a bit patronizing, but that is literally all.

>The presentation and marketing shifted from "immersion free running" to
The game did not. It's actually far more about running than the original game was.

>Stop holding my hand game, I'm not a child.
>Wait come back this game is to hard for me!
>Wtf this game sucks it's too hard

nigga what?

>When trying to follow the Cred Forums-hivemind to fit in makes you look like an idiot

Sad ain't it?

Hate to interrupt your self-righteous bullshit tirade there, but he is right. The game and level design is flawed making the environment extremely difficult to navigate by fucking up landmark and horizon placements, making it difficult to visually confirm routes towards your targets (or even the location of your target), resulting in a situation where you either rely on the "hand-holding" tools or be lost.

It really is a game design problem, the most severe the game actually suffers from.

Literally no marketing. Plus Denuvo meant less word of mouth on top of that.

I'll try it as soon as its flavor of Denuvo gets cracked or if they release a representative demo.

They see me meemin'
They hatin'...

Kek

I legitimately didnt know it released until like a month later.

waiting for it to show up on origin access so i can sub for a month.
