Every time a new game comes out and smashes the records, that's not from either Sony, Nintendo, EA, Activision or Rockstar, game developers and/or journalists get into meltdown mode.
How come? Game devs in particular, why are they so pathetic? 6 years development, every game decision being made by a dedicated committee and $300 million budgets are too unreasonable.
>How come?
An actual government is shilling them now
You gave yourself a mental illness chasing a boogeyman.
>implying he wasn't mentally ill to begin with
>being this obvious
I cant believe Swen the mastermind would do this...
Last time I checked Swen also never said "Kill Black folk" live on camera. I guess they own him too huh?
>Pajeet still does his thing
fpbp
Why are you replying to yourself?
i havent
Why did you chop your dick off?
Because then they actually have to play the game to write about it instead of inferring how it plays from the triple A formula.
All of those are Tencent properties.
It's not about that, it's about the reaction of journalists and game devs to popular games that blow the shit out of other games.
Hogwart's Legacy
>if you like it, you're a tr*nsphobe, we don't like it, we won't talk about it
>the best selling game of 2024
Baldur's Gate 3
>a game from dead genre with turn based combat steals all the rewards from games like Zelda and Spider Man
Elden Ring
>the seething from Horizon and Ubisoft devs for not being a cinematic hand holding simulator
Palworld
>uhh... it's AI, it's plagiarism, it's made for money...
>Nintendo, please sue these man
Meanwhile both developers and journalists defended the quality of the latest Pokemon games with "think of the devs", same with latest Call of Duty, when everyone mocked it for being extremely short and literal rehash of 2 games merged together.
>>the best selling game of 2024
*2023
>crpg
>dead genre
You're just misinformed.
>in the limbo of B budget games
Yeah, dead for everyone but hardcore fans.
>it doesn't have the budget of half a billion so it's dead
So you're just another zoomer living by metrics.
Josh Sawyer is seething daily about it, yes.
Of course, the games you listed didn't have a budget to fly out games journalists for a weekend of hookers and blow.
is this late stage contrarianism? all the games in this list were highly praised by journalists. and I haven't seen any dev or journo outlet complaining that BG3 won GOTY over those two other games, infact most outlets gave it their own GOTY award
Damn, that guy harvested so many yous.
Yes, plus numbers can be and are manipulated. They're sheep.
steam charts really are the new twitter threads, how do I easily filter them?
Because they do what we should have done, gatekeep like crazy.
They do not want games outside of their circles from getting big.
I'm just happy PC gaming is doing great.
Genshin impact troonysisters...we just can't stop losing.
don' play games just noomber watch
>Activision or Rockstar
haha, Call of duty was in top 5 most sold games of the year last year and when GTA 6 will launch, will shit on every fricking previous record, GTA 5 made 1 billion in 3 days, GTA 6 will make 2-3 billion easy without online
Jews get riled up for going against the status quo
elden and baldur are fun
Are you joking? Game journos deep are still deep throating BG3 for its "diversity" and "inclusion" to this fricking day
>game developers and/or journalists
>and/or
Devs are seething over robbing Zelda and Spidey
?
journalists praised all of these tho
Nah, some of those homosexuals fricking hate Palworld
>oh yeah one site posted that they don't like the game
and? every single game has that. now look the score that game has
>and? every single game has that.
are you joking?
Elden Ring
>Waaaaaah too hard, this is why games need a difficulty slider
Hogwarts Legacy
>Waaaaaah Transphobia, game is bad dont buy it!!!!!!11!
BG3
>Oh mah gawd muh diversity, fricking me harder MR BEAR!
Game Journos are fricking worthless
what are you even talking about mate? you were arguing that one place made an article bashing the game and like I said every game has some negative coverage
>Elden Ring
>Waaaaaah too hard, this is why games need a difficulty slider
got a 96 on metacritic, won the most game of the year awards of any year and got almost universal praise
>Hogwarts Legacy
>Waaaaaah Transphobia, game is bad dont buy it!!!!!!11!
it didn't get as much praise as elden ring but still got solid scores meaning the people screaming transphobia were a loud minority
>BG3
>Oh mah gawd muh diversity, fricking me harder MR BEAR!
another 96 metacritic, won game of the year, the most awarded game of the year and also got universal praise
all of this and still some articles may say "hey I don't like this game"
>metacritic
and im supposed to give a frick about that?
As i already said. Game Journos are fricking worthless
???
>He fell for the artificial-controversy marketing
why are you sneaking R* there , they have not released a title since RDR2 ( almost 5 years )
gta 6 will shit on any game record once its released , for now let the little boys play
>why are you sneaking R* there
What sneaking? Any Rockstar game is guaranteed to be a massive seller, even if they don't release a game every year, and no one will bat an eye.
Why does it make you surprised?
>Woke slop

I dont care about any of the business decisions or politics behind games. I just want fun games. And since the industry realized they can make more money pandering to the morons, we've been getting more and more games designed for morons.
Long gone are the days of Deus Ex. We'll never see anything that intelligent again. Having said that I am looking forward to a few releases this year.
How the frick do you know how many concurrent players a Nintendo or Sony game have at launch? You don't have a chart like steam
Both Nintendo and Sony brag about first weekend/first week sales.
Palworld somehow sells faster than Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Journalists sucked off BG3 nonstop, it shouldn't be in your pic. The other three have definitely been dragged though.
because the ones who are crying and having a meltdown are woke leftist morons. They mad nobody buying their garbage AAA shit.
>elden ring and bg3 are monster hits of the past two years, shattering hype at launch and taking the internet by storm
>pokemon clone made by students has both their peak player counts combined
what the frick
Finally played it and it's just busy work the game. Its designed like a mobile game. Combat is MMORPG tier has no strategy at all and I think it's actually worse than Pokémon. This is one of those "its fun with friends kinds of games" huh?
