This is a thread about the reason most of us visit this board at all.
>Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔJdᵊ/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔJdə]; lit. 'harm-joy') is pleasure derived from the misfortune of others.
Post your best vidya schadenfreude stories/moments. I'm starting with an obvious one.
Chase Price
It was great to see so many Bungie/Halodrones hype this shit up to infinity, and the subsequently taste their tears when it came out.
William Johnson
Happiness at the misfortune of others..... that is German!
Luke Perez
Schadenfreude isn't used exclusively by Germans you know.
Jacob Gutierrez
No, but it was invented by them, and they're damn good at it.
Christian Cox
Fuck off German I'm not falling for your bullshit
Matthew Barnes
>they're damn good at it
So is Cred Forums.
Christian Turner
Idiots still play this though.
Dylan Hall
The day Phil fish quit video games might be the hardest I've laughed in my entire life
Joseph Perez
To be fair, the game DID eventually pick up and deliver after a good few updates.
That first month of release though. >mfw
Cameron Rogers
>one of the most profitable mmos on the market
Cred Forums is never wrong
Jason Adams
FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETYNINE DOLLARS
Jaxon Hall
>he fell for le open world procedurally generated meme
Dominic Foster
Oh shit. I'd completely forgotten about that lolcow.
Evan Rivera
You are absolutely delusional if you think Destiny isn't a huge success. Destiny 2 is going to be huge at this point.
Chase Young
I know it is now. I was mainly referring to how many complaints about the lack of endgame the game was getting for so long.
See:
Owen Long
Remember Tameem Antoniades? Neither I do.
Samuel Wood
>mfw people getting cucked by Anita kickstarter
Jacob Lewis
forgot pic
Aiden Gray
The guy with the 20k dollars TF2 hat and he got VAC. Then he said it was intentional. The best.
Isaiah Scott
>this entire conference
I know it made most people cringe, but personally I found the ridicule and embarrassment strangely erotic.
Landon Bell
I see, that's true, and I would say it is still just a shadow of what it could, maybe should, be. That is mostly why I am excited for Destiny 2. The current version is beyond stale at this point.
Luke Cox
Not in a million sales
William Stewart
The schadenfreude that swept over Cred Forums during the whole old republic debacle has ruined Cred Forums.
Like junkies most here long for bigger better colossal failures and are actively destroying threads because they can't find one.
Jordan Morales
Who could forget the most hilarious kikestarter blunder yet?
Jose Thompson
...
Ryan Long
>THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING
Isaac Martinez
I really enjoyed playing Skyrim on this.
Blake Taylor
post yfw you didn't buy it.
Cooper Ramirez
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Kayden Morales
my first time seeing an overwhelming negative game on steam i must know more to feel better about myself
Sebastian Baker
Literally who?
James Diaz
...
Wyatt Lopez
You know your game is bad when even the steam retards don't defend it. That's saying something too because some people were defending early access paid DLC for Ark Evolved.
Oliver Cox
>tag >memes What?
Julian Baker
Probably just dumb meme references and easter eggs like in Borderlands 2.
Colton Nguyen
In German we say "Schadenfreude ist die beste Freude" - "Schadenfreude is the best kind of joy"
Jacob Hernandez
just out of curiosity, is it good now?
Tyler Wilson
See, now meme is a negative adjective, saying something is a meme is like saying it's shit.
Gabriel Cruz
Dude this game is well polished and high quality as fuck. Buying it release day would be shitty but right now getting the full package with all the expansions on sale is great. Gotta let the normies fund them though.
Mason Gonzalez
I come here to laugh at y'alls shitty taste.
Xavier Stewart
But they brought it upon themselves.
Xavier Evans
this was a day that existed of 100% pure analpain
Chase Morris
Yep. The words "meme" and "memetic" have been forever tarnished by the internet.
Matthew Gomez
Premise is ok but there's one thing wrong with open world (including proceduraly generated ones). No matter how big or visually pleasing your world is the game is going to be shit if it's empty or filled with copypasted shit to make it look not dead.
Christian Lewis
What's he even doing now? I'd love to know.
David Perez
Probably turning tricks in an alley somewhere.
Christopher Carter
It's alright. I've had some fun with it in spite of myself
Carter Reed
making video games
Juan Moore
I just really dont understand the logic Does he hate people who like his games or something?
Hudson Carter
He was on something on Giant Bomb the other week
Grayson Sanchez
lel, memetic was never a word before the internet. Meme came from the frnch word for repetition when the Advice dog image was being posted over and over and over
Jose Moore
Wait what, so much for leaving the industry for good.
Nathaniel Price
Hope he eventually realizes how much time, effort, and money he wasted and the ban was completely his fault for being a shitter that wanted to cheat
Daniel Gonzalez
>This is a thread about the reason most of us visit this board at all. Yeah no, most of Cred Forums actually likes video games
Fuck off
Kayden Fisher
Was project beast really just bloodborne? I remember the shit storm but didn't actually stick around long enough to see the outcome
Kevin Reed
He was quoting Avenue Q if you didn't know that already.
Ayden Allen
yes
Isaac Richardson
>people disbelieving dumb rumors and those rumors turning out to be somewhat accurate for once makes them idiots
ya, na
Henry Watson
>he doesn't know that phill the cuck lurks Cred Forums lmao
Aaron Smith
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME
Zachary Sullivan
Nice illiteracy, retard.
Owen Martin
>third person platformer-shooters
I'm so sad almost no one can get this formula truly right, since its my favorite type of game structure.
The only games from this category I wholeheartedly enjoyed were the classic Ratchet & Clank trilogy, Jak 2 and 3, and Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.
Daniel Torres
I enjoyed watching VR blip and fizzle out.
Evan Mitchell
typing?
Charles King
I'm expecting it to come slightly back into popularity in a few years when the price has dropped significantly.
From what I take a lot of people really want to try VR, myself included, but just don't have that kinda money to dish out on something that could end up collecting dust anyway.
Connor Hernandez
How will it come back without investors? It launched earlier this year and wasn't even a shitshow, it was just wholly unimpressive with garbage games. People forgot it even existed in literally one day.
The only saving grace at this point could be Sony but if they don't have real games to make it exciting people won't care either. If it doesn't at least get a foothold this year then it's fucked for decades again.
Michael Harris
Oh, Schadenfreude, huh?
What's that, some kinda NAZI word?
Joseph James
Nintendo in general, not only threehouse or noa
just knowing they're in deep shit makes me happy
could be true, false, people fantasy, doesn't matter
David Price
can't wait to see that faggot kojima drown in his own shit now
fuck this hack
Mason Roberts
>TFW you sold your TF2 earbuds for $60 and they're almost worthless now
Lmaoing at cucks who invest in in-game economies
Hunter Murphy
be honest user, wich one of the posts in the picture was yours and how mad where you?
Bentley Garcia
There's "QTEs" where the game freezes and you type words out. It's as shit as it sounds. Maybe even worse.
Lucas Perry
I didn't buy it because I knew it was going to be shit from day one
When a tiny dev says they've made a massive AAA game, don't believe it
Oliver Moore
Proof, faglord.
Robert Carter
It's so hard to tell if this is really shitty bait or somebody's honest belief about the word "meme"
Connor Perez
game = successful does not mean game = good you fucking monkey
Wyatt Myers
This fucking thing the entire year before launch where calling it the WII 2.0 and spamming Nintendomination then came a new excuse every year for why it wasnt selling >year 1 >THE 3DS DIDNT SELL WELL IN THE BEGINNING EITHER YOU JUST WAIT >year 2 >MARIO KART AND SM4SH WILL SAVE IT YOU WILL SEE >year 3 >SPLATOON WILL SAVE IT >year 4 >ZELDA WILL BE THE BREAKTROUGH >year 5 >W-WHO CARES THAT ZELDA IS CROSSGEN NOW
Christian Mitchell
The game was a huge financial success but it left a sour taste in people's mouths. Bungie will probably say that Destiny 2 will FIX EVERYTHING, it'll be shit again but it'll also be a huge financial success.
Carter Flores
>but it left a sour taste in people's mouths. Not the dudebros who play it religiously to this day
Jace Thomas
I'm one of those asshats that bought it because I HAD to know what people were screaming about. I also like some Bungie shooters like the first few Halo games, so I kinda knew that the shooting parts wasn't gonna be complete shit.
But goddamn the campaign in that and the overall content, the world, everything just screamed "You need another 18 months, faggots!". But no one stopped it.
Parker Bailey
why is frank the only acceptable person on that show, and are the others just in a process of crystalization that will end in a frank-like state?
Julian Morris
you are wrong. you can cherry pick that one guy for mario kart, but the rest is a fanfiction you jsut made.(or more likely, that was provided to you cause you sound like assive tool)
Jayden Gomez
what a waste of a good bear
Jason Johnson
games workshop needs to stop giving out the license to any retard there is potential for something amazing
Joseph Gonzalez
You are absolutely delusional if you think No Man's Sky isn't a huge success
Matthew Myers
warhammer is a AAAA+ strobified crystalline structure edifice to heaven of a franchise. it deserves only the best and it will deliver
Michael Gray
it is for Sony. if I know you niggers right you'll weed out any project that has anyone from How Do You Do Games and shit all over it, and people will listen
Mason Thomas
>mfw mega man legends fans are cucked for all eternity
Joseph Turner
You posted my recent favorite, OP. Other than that probably OUYA (both launch and how cops want to shut down their booth), and MN9 launch.
Bentley White
Same here in Sweden. Skadeglädjen är den bästa glädjen.
Brayden Nelson
I visit this board to discuss and read discussion about video games, which eventually do happen, especially for obscure/great titles no other site will open a book for.
I also come here for industry discussion. That the industry is in the main a parody of itself and a laughing stock is neither my fault nor Anons.
Daniel Robinson
Fines and fees. Not even allowed to set up a place to do commerce without being hassled.
Grayson Gonzalez
kanske därför vi blir kuckeli-kuckade. negersarna har lärt sig hur vi gör här i landet :')
Hudson Wood
>Tortanic I fucking love getting reminded of this
Owen Brooks
Niggers.
Jaxon Morris
Skadefryd er den beste fryd i Norge også. :^)
Elijah Murphy
It had to go f2p and get an overhaul to even get people to play it. Same with Wildstar and ESO. No MMO can go full sub fee anymore except wow and those 3 payed the price with spectacular failures and humiliation of letting themselves be taken over by F2P BR niggers.
Benjamin Carter
HOW LOW CAN IT GO?
Nolan Baker
Not a monumental failure, but this was my personal favorite.
>Tales of Tales characterized Sunset as a commercial failure, as it sold 4,000 copies in its first month of release, half of which were reserved for Kickstarter backers. Following this failure, Tale of Tales announced that they would no longer pursue commercial video game projects.
Jason Allen
Seriously though what a fucking disaster. sixty motherfucking dollars.
Jackson Torres
I'm guessing this is NMS.
What happened to cause that little "blip" around August 22nd?
Jaxson Peterson
huehuehue
Tyler Ward
Thr vanilla content is still vague surface layer story, with some questionable design choices, but the complete package is quite full of content for 60$. The biggest problem you'll have if you buy in is finding experienced players who are willing to buddy up with you for the first two raids and other "late game" activities that are no longer relevant. This means it is unlikely you'll ever see everything the game has to offer, at least until people tire of the shiny new stuff.
It also helps that every weekend are events that offer high level prizes in the PVP arenas, and custom private matches with up to 12 players were just added. There are also some larger events, like a Halloween festival and a racing league that come around in October and December. So there is content beyond what any day one player ever asked for.
But hey, if anyone wants to pick up the game on PS4, shoot me a friend request and I'll be happy to give some pointers and do some older activities that have lost their lustre. PSN is LegendArtorias.
Wyatt Campbell
Fucking brilliant.
Oliver Wood
>loses over half of its player base in one week >on OPENING week >player base halves again the following week
Levi Smith
People very REALLY fanatic about pic related in here. Even so much as saying that it's not gonna be great prior to the launch basically got you lynched.
So yeah, felt pretty good when it turned out to be shit.
Aaron Howard
Go to bed Edd
Nathan Morales
Collective hype had reached critical mass long before the game came out. Those trailers did devastating damage to everyone's expectations.
