it had 43k yesterday

This level of IQ belongs on facebook.

If it's good enough then yeah. And people on here are certainly trying to convince me it's good enough.

Are you saying Valve didn't even do a dev commentary for this one? That's a wasted opportunity.

You just have to yell TORtanic one more time, maybe this time it will be true

Alyx sold like shit though, not even 1 million.

Just multiply whatever it sold by 10

>implying Doom Eternal was assumed to be a TORtanic by Yas Forums
There was nothing out there to indicate Doom Eternal was going to be shit. I don't think you even know what TORtanic was like.

The only amazing thing is how long it took marketeers to find "Tortanic" and use it to deflect from criticism.

The cope of this post is hilarious. Get over yourself, poor faggot.

I wish they'd just make an actual fucking game instead of riding gimmicks.
Artifact rode the card game trend. It failed.
Alyx rides the VR trend. It's failing.

I dont think you were actually here during the TOR threads since you have no idea what they were like. This light criticism about potentially low sales is nowhere near what TOR-threads were like. You dont know what youre talking about.

game costs $1000

Yeah index comes scotts free

Not him, but I did with HL2. I think everyone did with HL2. Even when the game had notable game breaking bugs (scripts ingame not functioning at times during launch week) on top of the extreme clunkiness of Steam back in 2004.

It's a single player game you mouthbreather.
Why are you so obsessed?

No I'm serious. Are you saying this shit doesn't even have a dev commentary? Those were comfy as fuck and one of the things I loved about Valve single player titles.

Uhm.... VRisnotamemebros ...?!

>And people on here are certainly trying to convince me it's good enough.
Funny because I've only read faggots like you shitting up the board with your oh no no no and shitty steam threads.
I don't even like the HL series or own a VR headset but it really feels sad to watch a bunch of pathetic faggots try to shit on a game (on an anonymous imageboard of all places) while the players are actually having and playing videogames.
You're mentally ill

>$1000 for less than 10 hours of gameplay
>most of the gameplay is sifting through literal garbage
people paid for this?

This is not criticism, this is goblin magical thinking aka tortanicfaggotry.

>Sales
Who care, if it's fun and people are enjoying it, it didn't fail, you mouthbreather

Pointing out sales numbers or active players is not criticism you sub 30 iq monkey

>"loses its playerbase"
IT'S A FUCKING SINGLEPLAYER GAME

You sound like you're getting off of a 9 year break from Yas Forums. These faggots do this for every single game that comes out, regardless of how deserved it is. They're like imitators of people who actually watched TOR's launch.

... and?

>while the players are actually having and playing videogames
Not the ones who are spending their time on here calling people seething poorfags apparently. If you're going to bitch about people why not pick on the ones who apparently have better things to do?

Look, i don't give a shit about this game but isn't it supposed to only be another generic 5-hour campaign? Why would anyone continue playing it after completing it?

You're talking to newfaggot zoomers user. These kids weren't even alive when HL1 came out.

I don't care about VR and i think Alyx is a meme, but holy shit your reasoning is dumb. Do you expect the concurrent player count on a short, single player game centrally designed as a short film/story to somehow stay high?

Even if it sells incredibly well, why would the player count 'be high'? People will play it, feel like they got their money's worth, and never touch it again. It's a fucking movie for god's sake, why do you need it to have a steady player count? That's not the idea of it...

Cause they reply to retards like you who start these threads and try to cope for some fucking reason like not having a videogame should matter in your life.
They're not making the threads, you're the one shitting up the place, faggot.

I didn't start this thread dumbass. If it was down to me I would rather forget this game existed.

>10 hours of gameplay
i don't even care that much about HLA but are you serious?
that's pretty short

No, the other dude has the right of it.
Calling any kind of shitposting "Tortanic" is a transparent attempt at deflection.

im going by this, and the playthrough i watched doesnt lead me to believe otherwise.

>It's a fucking movie for god's sake
uhhh valvebros do we agree with him or?

only 20% of people have beat it though

lol holy shit the cope

I have it but after the 3rd level I got too spooked to keep playing. Gonna take some time to build up some confidence to keep playing.

>retards on Yas Forums can't understand all valve wanted out of the game is good reviews/sentiment so they can say they have both the best game and the best hardware for VR and set up steam to be the main VR storefront in 2025+

they were so blown away by level of immersion achievable they literally drowned.

>make product
>spend muniez developing product
>spend some more muniez marketing said product
>product doesn't sell that well because there simply is no market for house-sized pullovers
>wtf, it's not bad buisness, that one psycho who bought it liked it
shit like that is unfair competition and exactly how you get FTC interested in fucking your company over

maybe artifact 2 will go better for them

hey, not cool, stop review-bombing those posts

You don't. We all wanted HL3, all we got was a stupid tech demo gimmick prequel. Prequels are the new sequels.

Next thing you know we'll be getting HLAlyx:Episode 1

What did he mean by this?

He retracted the statement later after clarifying it was posted in the midst of a diabetic stroke.

i dunno, read the article

He was talking about brain-computer interfaces and said it would be an extinction-level event for any industry that didn't jump on the wagon early.
