How much did this game cost to make?

[CharmHole]

Just wondering so I can laugh even harder at the devs of this when they meltdown on twitter. (Many of them melting down already at the success of Palworld)

7 years, large western studio.... ain't going to be cheap. Got to be in the hundreds of millions

Right? im thinking $300,000,000 at least. they had all the public support since its rocksteady but non-gamers dont realize the studio was replaced with fresh out of liberal arts college femoids and simps. i gotta commend them for securing the bag but i also want to set up a class action lawsuit since they no only destroyed the reputation of one of the best gaming trilogies in existence but also completely disrespected Kevin Conroy's last performance.

Tragic.

Grow up dude. Do we really need to do this in every thread.

Putting the wanky-anti-workery aside, I would be very surprised if it made anything near back the amount it cost to make. I dunno if it would have been as much as 300m though. GTAV only cost 265M, albeit that was a while ago. I reckon its more like 110-130m ish.

This is what I'm talking about. Rocksteady had made the best gaming trilogy ever and you became a fan because of this, right? Well if you can not only admit that you are a huge fan since you keep posting here and defending the million dollar company, then you must also concede that maybe, JUST MAYBE there is a reason or two for all of these threads worried that the game may be a hot pile of massive flaming garbage?

Sony Helldivers 2 4 player coop game took 8 years to make and cost half the price.

I doubt it was very much. Harley has the face of a game dev.

It was probably a lot but not an insane insane amount. They will make the money back somehow whenever it is cancelling all the future content and rushing the offline mode and then selling it for under £10 or milking the fans to death and back.

If you look at my other posts you will see I am long way from defending them aside from calling out various anti-woke nonsense. This game is going to be a massive fail, but that has nothing to do with culture wars and everything to do with being a superhero Live Service game in 2024.

"it has nothing to do with culture wars" right, the culture war ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is fomented by the exact same shareholders that know agit-prop is the new advertising campaign. This is why Blizzard pays Destiny to say things on twitter like "muslims ♥♥♥♥ goats" that trend hard so Destiny the Video Game can trend in the sidebar every week.

It's so weird that since gamergate we now have BOUNDS of verifiable evidence of such agitated propaganda, sweet baby censoring, ESG kneeling and liberal arts college-to-gamedev pipline and yet people like you who can admit there is massive greed and tone policing but somehow if I critique the fact that harley looks like alex from minecraft oh i've gone TOO FAR and i'm SUPER CRAZY even though, again, there's tons of verifiable evidence like how they uglified Mary Jane in Spider-Man 2 so she could look like the literal femoid game "dev" that worked on it.

Always-Online-DRM is a baby fart compared to the nasty liberal ooze that has infected our trillion dollar industry but weird nerds like VastGirth (shudder) have Nostalgia Goggles for having to swap 4 DVDs in order to install and play certain games without an internet connection. I dont give two ♥♥♥♥♥ if Capcom's got a new DRM, Capcom isnt the issue it's Western IP Law that's heavily enforced by the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PENTAGON but yeah go ahead and keep crying that your single player game dips 5 frames so it can send crypto signals to a home server to verify ur not pirating or using a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game shark lmao.

Anyway Palworld is amazing, I suggest forgetting about games like this and tossing some balls at some animals and make them create firearms for you.

Can you give some examples of this " BOUNDS of verifiable evidence" that goes beyond 'things people have theorised about online'?


Also i've not mentioned DRM once on this forum. Are you getting me mixed up with someone else?

[CharmHole]

source? yeah my source is myself and my own deconstruction of the one market ive cared about since i was three years old. just uninstall if ur not gonna play, kid

[CharmHole]

okay i'll be honest: i think the game looks alight.

all the cringe aside, gameplay looks like crackdown meets infamous meets borderlands meets mobile gacha. the worst part about this though is it's hard enough to get my friends to play palworld with me and there's no way on god's green earth i could pull them away from rocket league or csgo to spend $80 to play a grinder on rooftops like this.
