How is Expedition 33 still selling THIS well?

How is Expedition 33 still selling THIS well?
It's been like 3 weeks since release and even new games in well-established IPs with millions in marketing tend to fall off top 3 of the international top sellers in that time.
Even Oblivion has fallen down to a respectable 8th.

I'm guessing that word is still getting around. It's not as if everyone bought the game all at once.

This. Also helps that word of mouth is quite good.

STOP THE COUNT BASTARD BENCHOD IT IS VERY UGLI GAME VERY BLURRY GRAPFIX STOP IT STOP HAVING FUNNNNNNN

you know how 99% of chinese gamers played black myth wukong? clair 33 is like that but for frogs and frog adjacent europeans (czech, italians, etc)

I feel like marketing departments underestimate how useful word-of-mouth can be. I have not seen a single advertisement for this game anywhere, on the internet or on TV or in real life in any way shape or form. The only way it's spread around at all is because people praise it so much and recommend it a bunch.

You can argue that journos "help" but that was mostly after the game's release, which is usually see as too late.

which is usually see as too late

It's only "too late", if the game's bad. If game's good then this is just a bonus.
A bad game can trick people into buying it before it's out, pre-ordering, and since marketing people rarely have any idea if the product they're advertising is actually good or not (they don't play video games) it's seen as safer to frontload the entire marketing budget and hope hype and pre-orders carry the product.
If the game is good however there's nothing wrong with getting good coverage even after the game's released.

20 threads a day on Anon Babble

and frog adjacent europeans (czech, italians, etc)

Most European hate each other

He thinks Anon Babble has any relevance

Absolutely delusional. Even eightchan used to have more spotlight, fucking THQ made an AMA there.

Spaniard here, can confirm. I only love my Portuguese bros.

get a general and fuck off then

So this is the power... of word of mouth...

was 93% two days ago

now 94

Are they going to do it? Will they reach Overwhelmingly Positive at 95%?

steam.jpg - 1220x1120, 356.62K

It's just a fucking great game. There is no secret.
Literal success story of an underdog. Anyone hating on this has no soul and should post hands.

It would have been 97% right now if you exclude the Chinese.

wtf i love chinks now

Why are the chinks reviewing it so badly?

they think it's NTR because Gustave is replaced by Verso

most complain about the gay ass story for depressed frenchmen

They don't like the story (reminds them they also live in a simulated meme country ruled by their commie god)

underdog

lol
LMAO
What a fucking lie.

Squareenix sisters...

Retard.

NTR because Verso can fuck Gustave's harem (even though Verso is a dipshit and this ends terribly for everyone involved)

le immune to propaganda zoomers instantly buying the mopey indie dev story

30 people team + outsourcing

industry connections

budget for celebrities

Say what you want about boomers and millennials but zoomers are top tier retards

Idk I pirated it. The visuals and weird world at the start grabbed me, then I tried to jump off the ledge at the start, noticed there was an invisible wall, which I found annoying.
I just exited the game and uninstalled it when I saw it was turned based combat.

the famous titan of the gaming industry, Kepler Interactive

wtf the chinese are based?

Gustave's only love was Sophie, so why insert the cuck shit?

le immune to propaganda zoomers instantly buying the mopey indie dev story

they did when the word of mouth started to spread

30 people team + outsourcing

everybody outsources QA retard who the fuck cares

industry connections

every dev has industry connections retard, even garage devs

budget for celebrities

celebrities don't really cost more than regular QA most of the time retard, you don't know shit about the industry

+2m sold after few weeks

Vavra status? KCD2 Eurojank of the year status is in danger.

I meant regular VA*

Positive word of mouth
compare with KCD2 which had it at first, but then it was revealed its woke garbage

doesn't cover for marketing

mopey indie dev story

You can go stalk their Facebook page from 2019 and see them asking for a concept artist in exchange for equity because they didn't have money to pay and getting 50 likes.
Most dev cost is salaries, you think Serkis got millions for a few hours of work?

the story is largely lost on them because chinks can't experience empathy

Sifu

Scorn

Pacific Drive

E33

If you don't see an astroturfing pattern in here I don't know what to say, anon. You don't need to be a "titan" to have the right connections. And this is just half of the possible network, considering the frenchies are all ex Ubislop.

Sophie was setting Gustave up with Lune and he could have saved her...

how did sweet baby inc not get to these based frog devs?

Truly the Maneskin of gamedevs! Let's go sisters!

considering the frenchies are all ex Ubislop

again you're talking out of your ass retard
you saw a journaslop article and ate it up like the goy you are
only 3 devs are from Ubisoft, the 30 others are freshly graduated and it's their first job

it's a breath of fresh air in gaming
most people don't play JRPGs because they don't want to play anime shit, so they never played this kind of game before, now they can (im that person)
and it sure is good to experience something new, something that plays different and has original ideas compared to 95% of vidya being released

Getting a Polish company for playtest and QA? Should have done it yourself.
Renting a professional studio for your VAs to record? You should have spent more money building a studio in your basement.
Hiring an orchestra to orchestrate your OST? Learn the instruments and do it yourself jeet.

Just don't have Lune fall for Verso's slimy manipulation then lock him in the piano cuck chair, ship secured.

only three

the founders

fuck that's 27 less junior connections! GOOD DEBOONK ANON

The power of Sciel's ass

There are more JRPGs than Persona.

Verso's slimy manipulation

They just bond over family stuff and Lune fucks him to vent after the shit with her parents.
Verso fucks both Sciel and Lune in a casual way, which is what they wanted from him in the first place.

Gypsy whore.

there's literally solo dev negros out there and you keep trying to sell me the story of an AA dev team because you took the bait

Czechoids (kcd2) and chinks are super asshurt about this game being successful

Cute girls sell.
Ugly trannies don't.

This. Honestly, like in their homeland, Chinese votes should go straight in the garbage.

most positive are french>italians>spanish>south america

least positive are chinese>japanese>russian>korean>german

Do you have any source for that, boss?

a AA game is a AA game

wow

this but unironically

zoomers only need vibes, not sources

go back to sucking dicks on reddit

yes
are you retarded

when something is really good, people really like it
it’s really that shrimple

IMG_6409.png - 1920x1080, 2M

fuck off bitch

Why does Anon Babble have such a hard time understanding that something good sells well?

$40

shilled to hell and back

nothing else for normiegroids to pick up

It's basically just the new schedule 1 and has equally as garbage a following

This just proves yuropoors are nationalistic retards who love reddit slop as long as it's made in yuropestan.

pigs love slop

and they're all anime-y
no thank you

Nah.

average clair 33 shill

No one gives a fuck about SteamDB posts.

it's a good game
yes it really is that simple

we do.

bot

game

good

this is Anon Babble, nothing can be good except snack foods

twitter screencap of a 50yo man unironically typing "lmfao"

kys

I tried it out when moistcritikal recommended it. Him and asmon are normally the shit filter for games and shows for me.

Tailor made for journos and braindead marvel crowd NPC scum.

Is there a site where I can get this data or it has to be made manually?

Whats the site with stats captured in your pic?

Nothing better to play until we got to Doom: The Dark Ages. I expect a signicant drop in players for that. I'm expecting 50k early access for that one for those who pay to play 2 days early.

Jelly. Even the Japanese have it under 90%

Of course the dork ages will get a lot of players, but E33 already won and Anon Babble lost. What more is there to gain

If people beat a singleplayer game and stop playing that means it's dead/flop

Cernovich doesn't have central heating and insulation

Uh oh stinky

Tomorrow I'm going to play it on game pass for free
Thank you based Phil

Another based successful woke game made by Ubisoft devs and funded by Microsoft to add to the list!

Anon Babble lost

Apart from a few schizos including bazztek, the reaction around E33 on Anon Babble has been overwhelmingly positive
Like, the first thread right after the site came back online was nothing but praise until bazztek started samefagging again

the reaction around E33 on Anon Babble has been overwhelmingly positive

Pathological shitposters live in bizarro world.

Serkis is actually based as he has always been doing video game shit for like 20 years. He was in Heavenly Sword and Enslaved Odyssey to the west.

make your game $50 instead of $100
game receives positive word-of-mouth so sales don't flatline after the first 3 days of "early access $120 Deluxe Edition pre-release release" reveals it to be a trashfire

WHY IS IT SELLING NOOOOOO -t AAA publishers

everyone who doesn't like my reddit-writer frog game is one guy

Why do people post nonsense like this? I'm in Europe and everyone has washers and dryers here. We dont have air conditioning as its not needed for the way the climate is here. It never gets extremely hot or extremely cold here the way it does in America unless you live in Spain or something where it can get extremely hot but they are all poorfags there compared to the rest of Europe.

Doom is super overpriced outside America so im curious if the sales will be shit

make your game $50 instead of $100

game receives positive word-of-mouth

Will it work for Mafia?

We dont have air conditioning as its not needed for the way the climate is here. It never gets extremely hot or extremely cold here the way it does in America

There were 70,000 heat related deaths in Europe in 2023.
In the past 12 years, there were 716 deaths from school shootings in the US.
On average, there are 1,220 heat related deaths in the US every year.
It would take 144 more years of school shootings plus 50 years of heat related deaths to catch up to one hot girl summer in Europe.

unless you live in Spain or something

France had 5000 heat deaths in 2023
England had 2295 heat deaths 2023

Mafia looks pretty cool, the setting is genuinely gorgeous.

heat deaths

They were counted as cardiovascular deaths until the climate fearmongers needed something to scare people with.

it doesn't count if it's a non-american audience

youtubers are getting their playtrough vods out + shorts are exploding with E33 shit

So EU counts heart failure as heat death but the US doesn't? I thought EU was supposed to be smart lol
Didn't realize Japanese/Chinese/Russians/Koreans were American.

The cultural barrier is too thick between France and China. It's the same reason why most western people do not understand the story in Black Myth Wukong. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, if anything I wish there were way more video games that are purely a cultural product.

despite selling so well sales are still below FF16's, which was considered a failure....

1.png - 354x253, 99.59K

You weren't supposed to point that out

Didn't realize Japanese/Chinese/Russians/Koreans were American.

...Yes? Did you even read the post I've made?

It’s been less than 20 days

turns out when people whined about turn based stuff, it was literally only because some eceleb told them not to like it, now that ecelebs told them to like this one theyre fine

I'm sure both games had the same budget lmao retard

You mean the triple A game from a giant studio and the recent entry in their flagship title series?

It’s been less than 20 days

99% of france and italians bought it already lol it's going straight down from here

Imagine being angry that an indie game with zero modern messaging is selling well.

found the reddit writer
u mad?

nooo how dare you not like thing i like

what's your problem? i just don't like anime aesthetics, i won't play games with such no matter how much you whine

What did FFXVI cost to make?
What did this game cost to make?

Are you honestly this fucking stupid? Goddamned street shitters

i won't play games with such

Found the yuropoor who can't speak English

first game from a literal who studio people never heard about

production cost was 1/500 of the FF16

but whatever helps you cope

Don't forget discord and trans sexual porno. We know from the leaks they are big on those two

Go back to getting run over by muslims, yurotrash.

It has an extremely positive word of mouth, basically no one was looking forward to this. My friend only told me it was coming out because he got the copy he preordered (which he forgot he preordered lmao). I bought it day one because I like JRPGs and in a few days several of my friends bought it after asking me if it was any good, this is why it continues to sell copies weeks after release
Whenever a new FF game is coming out most people buy it day 1 because they are FF fans

they forgot to turn off the bots/indians

It’s still topping the charts

it's this, one of my friends who is a normie even knows about this game

What's up with your yurofreaks crying about Japanese games and aesthetics this much
Don't you have some muslim dick to suck more while they rape everyone in your shithole?

truth hurts, doesn't it?

Anon Babble seemingly was looking forward to this game, but after the s party hacked this shit hole, everyone hates it now. Funny how that works huh

honestly its true and I say that as a eurofag
