[Sad News] Metal Slug tactics fails to get 100 reviews on day 1

Why did it bomb?

Screenshot_7.png - 404x529, 359.07K

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

I think I'm just going to filter the "[" symbol.

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.

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..

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.

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?

11223.gif - 148x125, 245.5K

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

L31.jpg - 1000x707, 91.68K

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
