Why did it bomb?
[Sad News] Metal Slug tactics fails to get 100 reviews on day 1
because why the fuck did you make this
It's Metal Slug in name only. tactics game from no-name studio with Metal Slug coat of paint slathered on top
Too expensive? Metal Slug games are platformers?
I don't really get who this is for? SO RETRO guys?
OP is an r/gcj tourist trying to mock “da chuds” for the constantly shitting on DA:V’s sales by highlighting the perceivably low sales of [Game series people actually like], even though it really just further exposes the retardation of most posters here since they still don’t understand any of the metrics they’re posting.
i played the demo its bad
Schizo post
Because it's a weird spin off that's not in the same genre as the original games
I really want numberfags to die
Day One on gamepass
Why would I buy it? I will buy it when it releases physically.
because the only people that played metal slug were spics that played it on emulator for free and cheated to finish the game , you expect them to have money to actually buy something?
OP didn't mention anything you retard
tactics
I think I'm just going to filter the "[" symbol.
Based!
these threads are so fucking terrible
METAL SLUG MAKES AN EXPLOSIVE RETURN BY DOING SOMETHING IT WASNT KNOWN FOR
Why are the Japanese like this?
FFXVI is a good game.
Boomer franchise that has long dead and zombified through gacha, got an actual shovelware made by third party with gameplay that's completely different from the original
I would be more surprised if it didn't flop.
...in Zimbabwe
It's a subpar tactics game that has modern "trying too hard" pixel graphics that don't stand up to the original with all of the egregious indie pixel art mistakes like mixels. It was pretty obvious this would happen from the demo, which was pretty meh. There were threads about the demo making these same complaints with a single autist trying to shut the complaints down. If that wasn't bad enough, they slapped a $25 price tag on it.
It releases today??? I have no idea
FUCKING SHIT! Stop with these threads.
you'll get less false positives with "news]"
meds
I did not finish the demo. It got boring very quickly.
Became a Chinese IP owned by devs who didn't fully understand what made Metal Slug so special. All they needed to do was make Metal Slug 8 using assets from Metal Slug Attack and call it a day or give us a highly detailed 2D cartoon remake of the first 3 games.
Good idea. That sounds more consistent.
This
You liked it last year when it was BG3, TOTK with Twitch views and Starfield. Why is this year different?
zero marketing
10 years of development for some saudi developed tactical abomination wearing a Metal Slug skinmask
Bros, I got a great idea. Let's make a new metal slug but it only looks like metal slug and has nothing to do with actual metal. We even go a step further and make it the 180° opposite of the original. That will sell like hot cake!
Japanese
The devs are French.
SNK is desperate for money as usual, they'll just pimp out their franchises to whoever
This being a roguelike is enough to turn me off it for good
SRPG is the go-to genre for low effort spinoffs
You only don't like it because it cannot recreate the exact circumstances of playing Metal Slug on a mediocre emulator in the early 2000's.
Tarma > Marco
tactics
that's not why I play metal slug. I don't play metal slug anyway..
bouncier than this?
If you go by per capita it's still a more successful game than veilguard
Oh, you were just being retarded. Carry on lil buddy
judging by the samefag sounding REEEES you go, I guess you're right
The game has been out for an hour, had no fanfare, is niche as shit, and this tard is making 'muh numbers; threads already
srpg
lmao
based, gas all trannies.
You liked it last year when it was BG3, TOTK with Twitch views and Starfield
I remember that and hated it then. Fuck you and fuck your threads.
It's a free mobile game with a price tag. Who the hell wants that?
can we vote out Todd and his diversity hires?
I've been here since like 2005. I am finally going to get up a filter as well. These constant brown OP spam threads are 100000% worse than anything Kimmo Alm did, or any of the tripfags back in the day.
I would take 5 Manly Tears threads over this useless shit.
people are reviewing a game that has been out an hour?
[Brown News] OP has no running water in his village but he still makes these threads 25 times a day
Why did it bomb?
Impossible to say if it bombs or not, this is obviously not a title with marketing that makes for big day-one sales.
That said it is overpriced and also a different genre from where it gained its popularity, hard to believe this will take off in sales.
That said it is overpriced
22 dollars
Pedro.....
They don't play videogames regardless, so why should it matter to them?
Sprites look gorgeous but I'm not a rts guy, I'm so sorry.
lol, like clockwork. immediately proving him right
BECAUSE OF THE MEMES ANON FUCK KEEP UP
Yes. Aside from the weird inaccurate jittering this gif has a lot of the animation is done within the contours of the sprite. That's exactly the subtle animation that that post is referring to.
youtube.com
since OP is shilling the game and I think it looks good
Games like this used to be $10 in the XBLA/PSN days.
Demo wasn't too good
Pedro....
~09 here but I added consolewar stuff ages ago. Posts with childish names for consoles and games are never and will never be worth reading. Similar with those obsessed with bringing up the gender confused and mentally ill.
You see reviews with "im only 30 minutes in but this is the best game ever" (2.7 hours played)[Product refunded]
You can't get a good idea from a single review and will not get a good impression from reviews until at least a month after release with initial patches and hype gone.
Demo was amazing
For me, it's CLARK
japs
"tactics" games
lmao
110 levels if anyone cares. That is fairly substantial for a tactics game.
browns
"good" posts
lmao
Not surprised in the slightest. These troons are really pathetic.
Oh shit, I didn't realize this came out, thanks for the heads up
Leona bros WW@
I'm Canadian (white)
More tortanic shitposting
Hmm you might be onto something
Kek, you definitely are. Get back to resetera, faggots
Metal Slug was always bouncy, this reads like someone trying to fit in
Sandeep.....
What does resetera have to do with this, are they shitting on the game or something? how do you even know this, are you posting there?
That's not bouncy
says increasingly nervous MAN (male)
I didn't even realize this game came out today.
Is it a fun tactics game? I've actually wanted to pick it up, but I assumed it had already released months ago.
You seem seriously low IQ
Compare that gif to this and you'll understand unless you're being willingly ignorant.
you brownoids are the only who do the worst on I.Q. tests so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up online. Did you pay someone online for a "certificate of big ol' brain"?
Fucking retard kek
A lot of projection in this post
compare that gif to a completely different action in a completely different context
NTA. Please listen to yourself.
It's not a tactic game.
It's a weird as fuck puzzle shit, since only their stupid joint attack system does any actual damage.
So you spend 99% of the time just moving to nonsensical position on the map to trigger joint attacks. Actual character's abilities, cover, flanking, etc only matter if they help setup a joint attack otherwise you can ignore everything.
It's not *bad*, but any going in there expecting a tactic game will be disappointed.
Thankfully I tried the demo so didn't bother buying it, but otherwise I would have definitively refunded.
The demo was fun and the game is fun so far, they do a good job of thematically creating a metal slug game that is a turn based strategy game. I don't know how much content is in the game since I've only played a few maps but it seems like there's a lot. It feels like a more complex into the breach where planning and positioning is key. My only complaint is that fio feels pretty weak but I've only played a little and haven't gotten many upgrades for her.
original series is hectic scrolling action
release a tactics game
It's like inverted Front Mission: Evolve. Who is it meant to appeal to?
Okay here's Marco's idle animations. Where's the indie bouncing?
I guess specifically to guys too old to really play fast-paced arcade action games anymore whereas tactics lets you play at your own speed.
Game requires you to understand and utilize it's unique system
It's a puzzle game
Don't understand this argument, every game is a puzzle game if you look at it that way
In the previous GIF you posted. You may need to clean your screen.
Nobody actually likes tactics games
Idling is haram
This
I've beaten a 1cc run of metal slug 3 and this game does NOT appeal to me
It will be probably sell a shitload of copies on the switch since tendies do not have standards
I guess that kind of makes sense. It's annoying though, as I've got older I've not really developed any appreciation for turn based/tactics/strategy games.
reviews
kys, retarded tourist.
That was the only gif from the real MS games I've posted ITT. The MST gif I posted is full of bouncing idle animations which is the point I'm trying to make.
see Metal Slug
see Tactics
expect TRPG akin to FFT (or at least FFTA/A2 or Tactics Ogre), maybe Vandal Hearts or Fire Emblem, even Disgaea would do - just a typical nip TRPG but with Metal Slug chars
get some weird mix of roguelike and Mario x Rabbids (I think it's closer to that than X-Com)
Thanks to the demo I was disappointed and no longer interested in the game
it really is that shitty indie bouncing lmao
Thanks for reminding me that MST actually came out today. I just bought it and it's downloading now.
Nobody asked for this. Bring back my platform shooter.
because it's a spin off of a niche title that's well past its best by date
I don't review games
everyone is either buying Stalker 2, Mario and Luigi or Slitterhead this week
based booncer
lets all boonce together
Play demo
It fucking sucks
Uninstall
This happens
And nothing of value was lost.
tactics
No one fucking cared.
Not even made by the metal slug devs
is this xcom for brainlets? for all these games once i have to start thinking for myself i lose all interest
another win for dragon age
Didn’t know this came out until now
no one gives an actual fuck about metal slug, it was built to be played in a browser on a flash site, or on a flip phone and nothing more
the amount of people who "played it played it" is like, 12 and the 13th died yesterday. The only reason people even bring up Metal Slug is for the cool pixel art
Anon Babblefag who watches literal preschool show has dogshit opinions
the replies are from the same clique, they always resort to "meds" and "schizo" or trying to move the goalpost when you call them out
meant to post this a while ago but the stupid captcha shit made me forget, atleast others are aware too
You fucking destroyed them holy shit, they’re so mad with the replies
Have fun playing video games anon.
-t Anon Babble poster that likes video games which is why I post on Anon Babble sometimes like the fool I am.
news]
Thanks anon.
and yet you didn't buy tactics, curious!
Why are people mad that a outsourced spin-off tried a genre different to the main franchise. People act like Mario hasn’t been doing this for the past like 3 decades now with incredible success
how do you even know this, are you posting there?
STOP ASKING!
TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY JEW JEW JEW SJW SJW SJW! I AM SANE AND YOU ARE INSANE AAAAAH HEIL HILTER!
Here's a quick rundown
Metal slug game
FUCK YEAH
That's a tactical turn based RPG instead of a run and gun
Who the actual fuck is this for. Do you think people liked Metal Slug because it was named Metal Slug? Like that's the start and end of it? Not the combat or the pixel art, it just had the name?
Yeah, I'm sure reductio ad absurdum will convince people to buy the game.
here's some of mine
rentry.co
See but apply it as a broader concept. They want what they can never truly have.
Why should a game have thousands of reviews on the first week when no one's been able to complete the game yet?
Amazing how sprites look worse than the original games
I didn't even know it had released. Anyway, anyone who isn't a retard would buy it from GOG.
Didn't even know it came out.
roguelike
Only additions I can suggest are
slop
discord trannies
is...le bad
that last one is a bit awkward to get consistently though.
too much gameplay is bad
I know your post does, that's why I pointed it out. Retard.
It came out?
Rogue-like
Answered that for you.
Is Leona in the game?
Gameplay looks shit.
Yes.
I have bought all three metal slug games when they have been released on console except the PSP, pirated everything on that
The vein diagram of people who like non-stop over-the-top action games and people who like turn-based careful planning should tell you why making a tactical game out of Metal Slug wasn't a genius idea.
Unlike you i don't CONSOOM, buying something i don't like sends the wrong message.
roguelike
too much gameplay
if anything there's too little because they expect you to replay the same short game over and over again
only 3 (three) publicly viewable negative reviews
all complaining about how it looks on deck sloppa
Because its not a japanese game
I played the demo, not really my artstyle but it was alright and definitely competently made.
What made me not want to play it though is when I realized its basically just RNG missions in roguelike fashion.
just say you're too much of a bitch to play tactics games, stop pretending.
100 reviews on day 1
Peak players online
WHAT ARE THESE METRICS?!
Who came up with this shit? I will never understand retards on this board. You must have sub 80iq to find the reason in this faggatory
It's not metal slug
Imagine they release a new xcom but it's a first person shooter
BETRAYAL
It looks ok but metal slug fans wouldn’t want to play a tactics game, should have just made a new shooter
Enforcer
Bureau
third person but yeah that didn't work well
I bought it and am enjoying it.
I won
Probably took too long to come out and everyone forgot about it.
why did they make this though? like who asked for this?
at least persona 5 tactica had the excuse of having a retard fanbase that buys literally anything they shit out, but metal slug is not that popular anymore.
Same. First time since September that I've had fun playing a new game, and before that you would probably have to go back to 2023
majority of negative reviews are chinese
We really need a second steam frontend to segregate them off. A firewall. A great wall if you will.
NOOOO WHY DID YOU RELEASE THIS GAME, DIDN'T YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE MARKET TESTS TO FIND THE MOST PROFITABLE DEMOGRAPHICS???
Why are you fags so soulless? Is this all newfags who just came here to talk about Concord, Veilguard and their concurrent players on steam?
Wait, why did you take my random post from a random thread and copied it word for word?
it flopped
no marketing
announced many years before release
articial hype
made by westerners instead of japanese
soulless over animated forced animations
faggot this thread was made asking why it's not doing good.
The answer to that question is almost 100% of the time they didn't do/did wrong their maket tests
Good, day 1 reviews are always worthless trash like:
I love GAME
0.1 hours played
faggot, the game had been out an hour when the thread was made. It's a joke. Retards are unbelievable
the game had been out an hour
and announced like a year ago or so, so people should be excited about it, if they gave a fuck that is
[Tragic news] You are gay.
What point is this monkey trying to make now? That the game should have lots of reviews one hour after it releases? Go back to some Veilguard thread, you're too moronic to interact with
I tried the demo and it wasn't good.
Go back to some Veilguard thread
are you projecting? or is that game living rent free in your head?
samefag
This game is doing good on Twitch. There are a lot of streams.
There must be a factory somewhere in the USA pumping out barely sapient homunculi like this youtuber. Over half of video-game related content on youtube is being made by "people" like this, with their monotone unenthusiastic drone voice recorded by a cheap mic regurgitating minutes of nothings with a few quips and non-sequiturs sprinkled throughout.
In a funny twist I've just been getting faster and more alert the older I get.
I'm hitting below 160ms reactions now which I wasn't even close to 10 years ago.
artificial hype
forced animation
zoomers ruined this board
Why would you release this today? People are busy with the elections.
Wrong
great job marketing, dotemu
I had no idea it comes out today
everybody on earth is a mutt
why would i play this over xcom
Anyone playing on steam deck? Reviews say there are some resolution and UI scaling issues. I don't feel like playing this game on the PC
there are, at my last count, 3 different threads up about this game. not a single one is over 250 posts, let alone close to bump limit.
the shilling is as artifical and fake as it gets
No one asked for this.
Thread is filled with people who don't like or play video games
Spend all their time shitposting or telling people to make a Anon Babble in other threads
You can nuke this entire board and it would only improve the website.
youtube.com
Announce game over three fucking years ago
"Whoa, that's an awesome idea! When does it come out?"
"No release date yet, stay tuned!"
3 and a half years later
"It's finally out, go play!"
"Oh, that came out? Neat."
What do these fucking retarded companies not understand? The release date for a smaller game like this needs to be within three months of the announcement or you lose any and all interest in your game.
we only talk about twitter screencaps here
If you nuke this board Anon Babbletards will infest other boards. It is a containment board.
It was a containment board.
fixed that for you
I heard you can beat this game in an hour which has me very excited. I love tactics games but I hate that they're typically complex, long & have stories. I just wanna move characters across a grid & win without much thought for a bit & then move on with my life.
OP and everyone genuinely replying to him are a bunch of retards. Weak bait
