How did it come to this?
I feel bad for Square Enix, imagine ditching your entire audience and the best your 4000 employee company can do is less than half the players of a game made by 30 white people.
do not violate the #1 Rule:
NEVER shit on your fanbase
This. You can't spend 2 decades gaslighting your former audience and then be surprised that no one is willing to buy your trash anymore.
Rebirth is a great game, but ff brand is already associated with shit after 13, 15 and 16
Rebirth is a great game
Oh, so we did manage to hit, 100k, nice. Finally a round number. That aside, I just found a picture of the devs in the game and was looking for a thread to post it.
gaslighting
Attempting to gaslight. No one ever bought into this shit.
That's high-soul if I've ever seen it!
kek
forced hype
I don't know, I think it could have done better had it not been locked to PS5, but I didn't feel that the game's hype was "forced".
Rebirth had a bigger playerbase than XVI and it still somehow managed to perform worse, despite the FF7 brand recognition. I think people are just really tired of SE's shit.
Is there a reason insecure 4tranners can't talk about a game without comparing it to another?
Turns out you can't pick a fight with every new game, and lose every time, while shitting up a board for years without being made fun of.
When was the last time a dev put themselves in their game as an easter egg?
Its literal third worlders who live in a fucking shack and all they have the ability to do is shit post because they are poor.
It's easy bait.
steam
Most players are on ps5
You can check steam numbers, where can I do this for other platforms?
Are they? That's neat I guess.
Irrelevant
It's wild that in year 67 an old painting looks like that
If I don't have numbers, then it's a question of faith.
this reminds me of old video games where finding a picture of the developer was considered a really neat little addition
good find anon!
Most people bought Rebirth on EGS.
I'm NOT playing a french JRPG LMAO
Steam is full of bots, thats still a question of faith
Out of pure curiosity: do you enter every thread on Anon Babble about a game that you don't want to play to say that you're not going to play it?
Or just this one? And if it's only this one, then why this one of all games?
don't feel bad for them
they spent 2 decades making this bed
only fair that they get to lay in it
Bots don't buy games and play them.
Do you think a developer can take 50k Steam keys of their game for free? If they could, they would be selling them without having to share the profit with Valve.
They can only take a number of keys to send to journalists and so on. If they wanted to use "the bots" to add, say, 20k of players, they would need to... buy 20k copies of the game off Steam. For the normal price.
I say this in every thread about a game I don't plan on playing. For example
I'm NOT playing a $55 Oblivion graphics mod LMAO.
I see, that's interesting.
Wukong says hello
It also sounds like you're NOT playing any video games.
I'm playing Red Alert 2 right now
China literally pays employees to take time off work to buy and play chinese games in order to boost playercounts. It's what they did with wukong.
76% player drop from peak in the first month. The first game on steam to ever have this kind of performance was monster hunter world which lost 60% of its playerbase in two months.
Chinese are real people
.>single player game vs PvE multiplayer
Almost as if chinese dork souls was a marketing gimmick, my twitch friends liked it though
holy BASED
The early prototype of Triple Triad?
French excellence I KNEEL
t. German
Other brands aren't as... "open" with this information as Steam. That'd be cool though, someone could even make a compilation platform that pooled all the results from all the devices.
I CAN'T DECIDE BETWEEN 33 AND OBLIVION AIIIIEEEEEEEE
Oblivion fucking sucks, the combat is dogshit and it has the same low IQ bethesda slop writing. A graphical mod can't save that trash.
You had 2 decades to play Oblivion, faggot.
Gestrals are such memesters.
Well, I'd tell you to choose E33, but I like JRPGs and am not a fan of open world games. If you like them, then the choice is harder. Unless you've already finished the original Oblivion before, then I say: play the new game first. If you didn't feel like replaying Oblivion two weeks ago, then you can still wait a bit.
burn whole add budget on a dead console
release it after christmas on pc with no advertising whatsoever
I swear to god any Anon Babbletard could run sqex better
turn BASED
TENCENT MONEY
CHINESE BOTS
actual cringe and game looks like shit too
I thought that was BG3?
brother you got a choice between a reheated game from 2006 and something knew
Okay.
current gen engines look so awful. UE5 can't die soon enough. Game looks disgustingly boring on top of DEI characters
