Krafton was not a good fit for a AAA single-player game. I need to read how the devs ended up going with a Korean publisher for this game. Weird.

Wiki says this. The studio was part of PUBG/Krafton already.

The origins of The Callisto Protocol began with the formation of Striking Distance as a studio within PUBG Corporation (now PUBG Studios) in June 2019, helmed by Glen Schofield, who had previously co-created the Dead Space series at Visceral Games. The studio was created to expand the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe by creating a narrative driven game.[6] Schofield said that when he met with PUBG Corporation where they explained their goal to expand the PUBG narrative, he already had the concept for The Callisto Protocol in mind and presented that to them and worked with them to fit his idea into their universe.[7] However, by May 26 2022, Schofield stated that the game had grown to be its own story and is no longer connected to PUBG, though there remain small nods to the latter.[8][9]

well, 'pretty good' isn't nearly 'dead space good'. &, in this instance, that's a problem, eh?...

 

[levyjl1988]

I didn't buy the game because no waifuus.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Ok, this game is actually pretty good

 

[Edgelord79]

Game is fun. Not sure why there is such an uproar.

 

[johnjohn]

It's not just the reviews that are the issue. It's the absolutely awful word of mouth the game is getting.

I haven't finished it yet but the first hour and a half I like more than I liked the original dead space. It could well fall off a cliff but I don't know yet. It starts off pretty strong.

see, for me, it only took a couple hours to figure out that dead space wasn't just 'pretty good'. even that early on, i felt it was more in 'very, very good, has the possible makings of a classic' territory. & it wasn't a game that came saddled with the kinds of expectations that this one comes with...

but, yeah, it's all subjective. have fun!...

Why is this a big deal? The stock is still up 10% from where it was a month ago

I guess it's just the fact that games industry is hit driven business. Why spend time on mediocre games if they're is better alternatives.

Additional to this thought: Time is precious, cherish what you have left.
And with that epiphany I go to bed.

Thats review culture around here, its Evil Within all over again.

Honestly all of this is being blown out of proportion. Big time.

Very few single player games can rise to the level of “pillar” when compared to a successful GaaS game. Investors were idiots to set these expectations. And even if you do have a lightning in a bottle the discipline to sustain a “pillar” single player franchise is so hard.
