Why is Clair Obscur's peak players so low compared to other WRPGs?

Even Starfield completely destroyed it. That's kinda sad.

Gamepass

ban steam charts threads

Starfield is also on goypass.

Starfield and Oblivion also both launched on Goy Pass day 1.

Try again.

It's a small indie studio's first game that had no real marketing outside of being on game pass.

small indie studio

A team of ex-Ubisoft employees with millions of dollars in funding from Microsoft is a smarr indie company. Prease undastand.

Huge brand name

Huge brand name (developer)

Random game from random indie dev that's getting good reviews

This bait is so fucking retarded it made me reply. I wouldn't have wasted the time if it was subtler wtf.

It's still a small indie studio. Gabe Newell worked for Microsoft at one point that didn't make Valve a Microsoft company in the early days, retard.

The only "funding" Sandfall got from MS was the payout for putting the game on gamepass, and they'll be paid more based on how much time gamepass players play.

know that with every reply to engagement bait you make this board a bit worse

niche "j"rpg with modest marketing from a literally who studio

also not a viral streamer bait

It's a huge success for a small studio, especially considering favorable reviews and scores.

If you haven't realized it yet there's a coordinated shitpost campaign against the game
Quit feeding the faveloids who do this shit

Nope, but it certainly doesn't mean 90s Valve was a small indie developer either.

Do you know how much money M$ pays for games to be on Goy Pass? It's massive. Why else do you think devs are happy to lose potentially millions of sales by putting their games on there? Because M$ pays more than they would get for selling an equivalent number of units.

AAA from a renowned and established studio

AAA on gaypass

AAA remastered of a beloved and popular game

Indie

Why indeed.

It's especially funny compared to how Epic Store tried to "compete"

>also not a viral streamer bait

Are you sure about that? Lmao.

make a good game

it gets popular

people want either to play or to see it

Makes sense.

tuesday, mid-morning

"why this game playercount so low?"

shadow drop versus something that had a $100 million marketing budget

PEAK playercount, retard. Not current.

It's a new ip by a no name dev that nobody expected to be as well received as it did,released at the same time as the remake of a very popular game.

millions of dollars in funding from Microsoft

Microsoft isn't even publishing the game

Curiously, Veilguard and Awoved are missing from the list. And Expedition 33 had by far the lowest budget of all. Probaby 2nd highest profit margin after BG3. Why are jeets so disingenious?

Gamepass day 1. Who knows what they paid out for this though.

Also, the "leaks" from the trial/hearing were estimates for games that weren't day 1 from gamepass.

Falcom and Atlus fans still seething. Amazing.

nobody expected to be as well received

I did and got called a delusional shill here for months

Because nobody cares about this astroturfed garbage? It's just shills spamming this game.

you niggers are so damn dishonest.
like oh i wonder which game will interest more people
new turn based rpg from a new studio
or
some game that's like skyrim from bethesda

The only true GOTY on that list is BG3. The amount of pull that game has is ridiculous. To still be pulling over 100k peak 2 years later is wild.

They mutts, the brown admixture prevents them from acting like full human beings

I love seeing stuff like this. I leave for a few days and Anon Babble does a 180 on this game.
Now the catalog is just threads with posts about how it's paid shill woke trash because it became a surprise hit.

I know it's anecdotal but this is what got me to try gamepass for the first time because I didn't have 100% faith in the frogs and the 14 days plus 1 month window covered doom. I didn't want to pay full price for doom so it was 2 games I wanted to play once and be done with for $13.

Congratulations on falling for the exact bullshit Micro$oft wanted you to.

new retard programming uploaded after "flopped" "chinese" and "woke" failed

because unlike clair obscure, the others allow to really immerse in a world and create your own character, choices etc
I wouldn't call clair obscure an rpg

Based

This site doesn't belong to you any more.
it never did, for that matter

OH NO NO NO NO

Because in Expedition 33 you just mash QTEs for 31 hours then you are done forever. The other games get modded and have large worlds to get side tracked in.

Starfield had a high peak because lots of people were misled into believing it would be good, myself included. I dedicated 120 hours to 'finding the fun.'

JRPGfags got so BTFO that they have to compare to WRPGs

E33 won.

Yes, it's correct to compare WRPGs to other WRPGs.

It's gonna GOTY and the JRPG faggots are gonna lose their minds.

33 near to zero marketing prior to release

every Bethslop title: 1000's of hours of marketing prior to release

Wow what's different guys?

With how the jeets and bots were talking about that game you could have sworn it was the game of the decade!

expedition is a jrpg

MJGA
Clair Obscur is a masterpiece

near to zero marketing prior to release
Being aggressively advertised by Micro$hill as a Goy Pass game is "zero marketing" now?

Not to mention all the viral marketing happening on social media platforms.

I really hope the game's success is a reality check to retarded japs like SE. People want these types of games, not westernized slop trying to have mass market appeal

j'RPG

people want movie games with famous actors and high production value

This is what's going to be their reality check. But instead of a sincere passion project we'll be getting more committee-approved slop.

hon hon hon

famous actors

I know about lotr guy and daredevil. Anyone else?

That's because quality aside, it was relatively unknown. So the normalfags didn't know to play it on launch and had to see their favourite streamers play it first.
But that means that everyone didn't start playing it at the same time. Affecting the peak count. Even if total number of players might be about the same.

I bought it. And I don't regret it, it's a fun game.
