Praise does not equate financial success.
Indiana Jones is a near-dead IP so not surprised at all tbh.

another one. i wonder if all of these "Viral Marketing" is going to have a positive impact on the game?
Thats a bit my point. Its not very good writing (imho) when you have to watch vids in order to figure out what a game/story even wants to tell you.
Cancel Asmon? Is it because he liked Avowed?
Reeeeee!
Hey fuck of with those common sense takes.
Basically 'free' lol. Let's forget how bad windows store and the Xbox app is for a second.
adamsapple Are you still confident with that prediction of yours? I checked that you haven't voted yet
I don't think most people care about that. Only the hardcore will buy a game on Steam over a Gamepass sub if available.
Ohhhhh I misunderstood gymwolf. I thought he was asking that in response to what happened to games. He was asking where that poster has been.it was iconic
Where's your proof? Youre making baseless assumptions. Only the hardcore buy games on steam, than use pc game pass? This is some gamepass fanfiction right there.
On top of having videos like this
Tells me a lot about posters mud digging the swamp of youtube drama farmers to have a point, really telling.
Was he banned for so long?
I misunderstood what you were asking. Disregard my post.
17K isn't exacly a noteworthy leap over 12K.
Didn't Starfield hit around 300K concurrent players on Steam at launch?
Which would honestly be so ridiculous, because this was their attempt to make the franchise appeal to more "mainstream" audiences.
Much bigger budget than the previous 2 entries in the franchise (which both relied heavily on kickstarter), longer time in development, Microsoft backing, and it's not even yielding much better results:
Should have just made another CRPG instead of this heavily watered and dumbed down "rpg" which actually would have just been better off being an out and out action/adventure game.
^ this is the dumbest and most fanboyish thing I’ve read in the whole thread. Go look in the mirror dude.
those changing fanboy metrics! Yet that game got shitted all over ( and rightfully so IMO) because " USER REVIEWS" was the metric at the time.
I don't even know if i like avowed or not., but you have to admit the fanboy propaganda is always moving goal posts.
Its just a few shit studios so dont worry about itThere are still some Western games I enjoy, although most seem to be coming from Europe such as BG3, Cyberpunk, and yes KCD2. But the American side of the Western games industry in particular has been putting out bullshit for a few years now. If you think I'm some simplistic incel who just agrees with anyone who cries woke like AccolonnTV, then you have miscalculated view on who I am. I'm just a guy who really loves his hobby, has been doing it for 30+ years, and has had to watch most of his favorite game studios get infiltrated by activists and mentally ill people, while all the real talent gets pushed out. Then when me and the rest of the fanbase tell them they're portraying characters the wrong way, getting the lore wrong, putting out inferior gameplay, we get called ists and phobes. Then when the game inevitably fails they all use the same playbook. They blame us.
My disdain isn't coming from nowhere. It is years and years of watching my favorite franchises go down in flames, and being told *we're* the problem. Is is being told by countless game journalists that gamers are the worst people on the planet. It is knowing devs are being pressured and silenced in order to conform to whatever bullshit political agenda is being forced upon them, instead of expressing themselves creatively, like this guy:
Sometimes for something to get better, it needs to crash and burn first.
Del Walker is not known as gamergate anti-woke fanatic. They're pretty much bang-on the liberal woke side of things and they are saying that the art is being changed and stripped of any beauty then it probably is death by a thousand cuts/committee style of thing happening across the industry.There are still some Western games I enjoy, although most seem to be coming from Europe such as BG3, Cyberpunk, and yes KCD2.

Yup he even deleted that tweet shortly after. We all knew this shit was happening but they’ll never speak openly about their true intentions.
Please have a look at Microsoft games released on Steam and Gamepass.
Mainly because most of those games have been shit to mid as well.
As simple as it sounds even with the gamepass argument some games just have a much larger appeal and gaming with a lot of PC gamers I know adoption rate for PC gamepass isn't huge
I have PC gamepass since I have ultimate and honestly I hate using the app on PC
U got free will to buy/support product like that, i rather dont support products that push that agenda, and yup, to me da:v, dustborn and spiderman2 pushing same agenda as avoved, aka attack on traditional values/masculinity in men/feminity in women and overal proper functioning society, it promotes degen aka current western world/liberalism/feminism/"equality"(fake equality to be exact, since men and women are nothing but equal in reality)/gender ideology and all the other secular religion 2.0 dogma's which im strongly againstWe were also told the game was 95% women and that was bullshit. Likewise, most of the stuff you are listing there sounds embellished or entirely made up by whoever said it. I put zero stock in vids made by channels whose entire purpose is being the woke police. And even if what you are describing were true (I've seen none of it so far) then the bar for calling out wokeness is far too low. When I see shit like there is in Veilguard or Dustborn or, hell, even Spider-man 2 then I'll point it out and say "yeah, that part is woke". So far all I'm seeing is pronouns you can turn off.
You ain't even playing the game my man

Once again- we knew months ago game gonna have pronouns and i personally didnt care about such token wokeness(its like type a/b body in elden ring, no1 gives a damn about it 5secs after done with character creation screen;p ), what i care about is actual wokeness/pushing agenda, which we got plenty in that game.
I really wanted game to be good, voted 80-85% review score in review thread but what can i do, reality is reality, game is far from good even for western rpg genre lover like myself, low steam ccu number and low sales are proof players recognised that low quality right away and refused to buy it.
No i dont think gamepass is an excuse. Because other game pass games have done well. And you know the best example? Sea of Thieves. The game was on gamepass for years, the game was even on PC gamepass for years. It launched on steam and had over 60k CCU.
U are westerner, which means u got trained hard last few decades to accept all kinds of clownworld degeneracy, or at least u gotta tolerate it, i didnt have to, at least till very recently.
