This is a Flop... dont be stupid.

[Drimon]

I need to make this new Post about ''Flop'' because all of you say ''People play this on Gamepass'' and Yea People are playing this on Gamepass and this will Kill the Studio.

This is not ''Must Play'' and there is no hype around this Game so there are not 500k New Gamepass Members for this Game... do you think that MS cares about the Players that already own the Gamepass?
They dont need Games that are played for 1-2 Days and the Pass is cancelt the next Month... they need big Games like Skyrim and Minecraft that keep the Players.
And not a lot of People will say ''woooohh Hellblade 2 is on Gamepass now i will make a Sub''

The Gamepass was killing some Studios because there are not a lot of new Members for Games like ''Hellblade 2'' or ''Hi-Fi Rush''

Saying that this one is not a Flop even if Games that wer also on Gamepass Day1 wer a Flop for MS with more players at Release
HiFiRush: 6,132 (Studio Dead)
Redfall: 6,124 (Studio Dead)
Hellblade2 : 3,901 (yea MS is happy because they all play on Gamepass xD)

And why was Starfield played by 330,723 Players DayOne on Steam if they all play the Games on Gamepass?


I love the Studio and they make great Games but lets be real... THIS IS A FLOP AND THEY WILL KILL THE STUDIO.
Dont be blind and stupid

Because that indicates that no1 bought it?

This extreme focus on graphical quality needs to stop, it kills studios.

Run with a timeless stylized graphic and focus on gameplay.

Why buy it when it's free on game pass? That's where I played it.

Only if it has a 50% discount in 2 days when the steam summer discounts starts it might sell well. And even then it will not sell as much as Microsoft wants.

Blade Runner 2049 was a flop and I would rather watch that a million times over than any of the 'successful' Marvel crap. I don't care one jot what other people like.

Yes and this was Not the Point.
I was never calling this a Bad "Game" but that the "Fans" are saying that its Not a Flop and Everbody is playing it on Gamepass is stupid.

It is a huge Flop and People should See it as one.
Is it Bad ? No but still a Huge Flop.

25$ Is a good Price for you?
There are better Walking Sims Out there right now like "Still Wakes The Deep" for 30$ Release Price...

This one is 5$ in a Sale worth and Not more.
Just a Gamepass Free Game to be true... Not worth any Money.

It is the point. I don't care that you think I should see it as a flop. It makes no difference to me successful of not.

Yes and this is great.
I loved Furiosa in Cinema and it was also a huge Flop.
Good Movie but Nobody is buying a Ticket for it :)
It was a Flop but a great one.

Flop is Flop and we should See it as one.

Agreed, it's a bit sad. Like people can only validate their own feelings if there's numbers to vindicate them. I played through 1000xArise! recently and that is from a tiny studio with barely any players by comparison. Doesn't change the fact that I found it to be one of the most absorbing experiences of the last few years. Just the same as I can't stand Call of Duty and open world collectathons even though everyone buys those. I didn't like Hellblade 2 because it felt like a tech demo with the occasional weak gameplay segment that seemed to only be there to justify it's definition as a game. But that's based on me actually playing through it, whether anyone agrees or not. Numbers are irrelevant unless it's an online multiplayer and you're trying to guage the potential lifespan of the product. Especially when it's game pass and longevity is more dependent on Microsoft's coffers rather than any kind of success.

Lots of words but in the end, nothing relevant to say.

Some people care because they'd like to see MS pull their head out of their ***. They'd like to see something finally positive coming from them. Because we need opposition in the video games industry, and it will not benefit anyone if it's just 1 vs 1 involving Sony and Nintendo (although in this case it would be about hardware). Microsoft studios have been on an incredible streak of bad games and poor market decisions, and Hellblade 2 is just another nail on the coffin.

This game stinked from the very beginning and it was obvious nobody would care about a sequel of what was essentially an experimental game. And not even such a good one to begin with.

Numbers are irrelevant because it's not multiplayer, oh, then explain to me how the F Resident Evil remakes or Devil May Cry 5 or God of War or the tons of other good solo games make such good numbers and kick Hellflop 2 in biblical proportions ? Spare us the BS.

MS will probably close the studio eventually but right now they have to appear like the game is successful because they have been funding the studio with who knows how many hundreds of millions for 6 years and all they have to show for that is a 5 hour sequel to a 7 hour game with hardly any gameplay other than pressing W.

MS will play the waiting game for a while to see what awards Hellblade 2 gets. They will need an optimistic dev team to go up and collect these awards and say how great it is to work for Xbox, right before they do a Tango on them.
