Why did nobody play E33? Everyone seems to have watched the story on youtube or just repeats Asmongold saying it's good.Surely if people love turn based combat and find it fun... the GAME OF THE YEAR with 99999 awards would have sold more copies and people would have ACTUALLY played the game... right? Even turn based BG3 is only played by lonely incels and femcels using it as a dating sim.
ban steam charts threads
CCU =/= Copies sold. 130 ccu could be 2 million different people across a multi hour period.
>>741964878>First game ever from an unknown studio, also it's indie vs sequel of a critically acclaimed game from a studio that has proved its worth.
5 million people bought and played the game.Many others pirated and played the game.This is gay and retarded bait
>>741965140KCD2 is not indie?Also hilarious you're acting like E33 was unkown when it already had a movie deal and tons of advertising and shilling. Makes you wonder why nobody played THE GAME OF THE YEAR with the most awards EVER
>>741964878>at one point in time there were 145k people playing at roughly the same time>op thinks that's all it solddumdum
>>741965246> Bought and playedBought, maybe. Played? Evidence proves not.Lots of people buy whatever's trendy to fit in, boot it, and close it lmao.It's why the steam statistics prove only 50% finished the tutorial. Funny you guys love data when it comes to black crime statistics but the second the data goes against something YOU believe in you deny reality.
>>741965248>twisting words and leaving out contextYou sound like you got raped by your uncle ngl
>>741964878>Fun gameplay, interesting story, phenomenal score, and memorable atmosphere vs graphics, clunky combat and dead open world sandbox Hmmmm
>>741965278Why the game of the year barely had anynoe playing it on steam but KCD 2 which "went w*ke and thus broke" according to /v/ had more players? :S
>>741965383Why are you so autistic about hating this game? Get a life lmao
>>741965450> The gameplay is so fun nobody actually played the gameI forgot gamers nowadays are so desperate to belong to the gaming community because they have 0 friends in real life that they watch youtube walkthroughs and then claim they played it lmao
why are you mad about e33?
>>741965540Why are you so autistic about shilling this game? Get a life lmao
this guy is STILL fucking dripping blood from his asshole over this fucking game HAHA
>>741965450>E33>Fun gameplay>phenomal score> Memorable atmosphere are you 14?
>>741966247>E33 antis fishing for minors again Never fails
>>741965572Whats up nigger?
>>741966405What's that meant to show? That YOU played it while nobody else did? Nobody even accused you of not having played it you insecure loser lmaooo
>>741966247>are you 14?Why do you want to know? Are you a diddler?
>>741966396> E33 fan pretending to hate pedophiles> When most E33 threads are about how "Maelle is hot because she's underage!"Are you trolling?
>>741966482>That YOU played it while nobody else did>nobody elseYeah let's conveniently ignore the 8 million other people that did. Should help you feel better. Suck it butthurt nigger.
>>741965248Where in that sentence did anon say KCD2 was an indie game?The amount of ESL on this board recently is getting out of hand
>>741966552Lmaoooo dude got caught tryina find 14 year olds on 4chan
>>741966598> 8 million sales = 8 million people played it!Are you trolling?You E33 fans are so insecure and delusional it's pathetic.
>>741966609You should work on your reading comprehension anon... You can't be this retarded.
>>741966821What stupid fucking goalpost moving cope is this?From >you didnt play itto>nobody played it to>sales =/= people not playing it Go play in traffic anon preferably Chinese or Indian traffic.
>>741967007Nobody said YOU didn't play it. See? You're making schizo fantasies. You're so insecure you started to see accusations and personal attacks. You're sick in the head.
>>741964878Turn-based is a console genre. First person RPG is a classic PC genre.
>>741964878144,444 CCU means like 10 million people played it
>>741966821Excuse my mobile screenshot, but your image is retarded and bad faith. Almost 90% of people who bought it played at least the opening segment. 40% of people BEAT the game, which is an extremely high number for a game that's as long as E33 is. It's quite literally an anomaly. You'd be hardpressed to find many other examples like this.
>>741965248No, Warhorse was bought by Embracer after KCD1.
>>741967171>Almost 90% of people who bought it played at least the opening segment. 40% of people BEAT the gameYou see nothing wrong with the most critically acclaimed ever, game of the year, with 9999 awards and a movie deal and 8 million sales, having people only finish the tutorial, do a charged attack, and then they all uninstall it?
>>741967310that's the case for literally every game ever made
>>741967283> W-warhose does not make indie games because uhhh embracerWait until you find out E33 was made by Ubisoft employees using the money of the main dev daddy who owns 4 different companies, got him extremely pricy and prestigious voice actors and even got him a movie deal before release.
>>741967171Meanwhile only 29% of people who played KCD2 got "The End" achievement. KEK.
>>741967310critically acclaimed game doed not strictly correlate with player numberssee sports games, candy crush, gachas, lol, and so onbut you know that already you lifeless loser
>>741967505KCD 2 is an extremely long game with a lot of content, a combat that's not for everyone, a lot of dialogue and exploration and a lot of side quests, and it got 0 awards.Yet more people bought it and played it :SMeanwhile E33 got every single award and is like a 5 hour long game yet nobody can put up with anything in it post tutorial lmao. So much for "turn based combat is back!".But hey, you E33 fans can always watch Asmongold play it and tell you to buy it <3
>>741967310No I don't, because that's the norm. >Bg390% escaped the Nautaoid, 9% beat the game>DS393% lit the first bonfire, 20ish percent reached AN ending.>Hades90% cleared zone 1, 20% beat the story>mh world93% hid from Jagras, 16% beat Ruiner Nergi.You get the idea. I don't own that many high selling/popular games but you're welcome to check any other GOTY contender or multimillion selling games.
>>741967750BECAUSE KCD2 ISN'T FUN NIGGER. The combat probably filtered thousands if not millions of players, the UI/UX is out of a early 2000s PC game, the atmosphere is same old medieval shit that's been done hundreds of times, and the story wasn't interesting. E33 won dozens of awards because it was FUN and UNIQUE. Enjoy your walking, shitting simulator.
>>741968554E33 is so fun nobody played it :SMust be sad for a game to have to win awards because the main dev has a rich daddy.
>>741967845>>74196717140% is super impressive anon. Any idea on other games like that? I need to invest in another really good game.
>>741964878E33 was massively astro-turfed but ultimately still a very good game.
>>741967310Satisfactory has a 97% overwhelmingly positive score on steam and something like 6~7 million copies sold at a minimum and not even 6% of people bothered finishing the game. I haven't played E33 but I'm pointing out that games with low completion rates but high scores also exist. A game with high reviews and high completion rates is automatically impressive.
>>741968978His cope is insane because he can't possibly accept the fact that other people have different tastes than him. He's like a super narcissistic anon. >WHY WONT PEOPLE LIKE GAMES THAT I LIKE?Because KCD2 wasn't fun you dumb nigger. I'd rather replay Skyrim for the 20th time. The combat blows dick and no one cared for medieval G*rm tribe.
>>741965246I'm pretty sure it was on GamePass also
>>741968663I actually don't. Like I said it's a statistical anomaly. Even my most ADHD friend sat through the whole game and finished it in 3 days which was literally mindblowing to me. Setting aside if you think it's good or not the thing is that the story is very gripping end to end with little breaks in between. The ones I listed are fairly high at 20+% completion other games around there I own are Black souls 2, Nier Automata is around 16% iirc. Same with Nioh 2.
>>741968978Did satisfactory win GOTY and 9999 awards?
>>741969283Kek it was. It still sold 8 million. Completely took a big steaming shit on the boring and out of touch the modern game industry.
>>741969202> H-he's coping reee and a narcissist i hate him!Why does it hurt you so much that people pointed out nobody bothered playing E33?It's garbage, people don't enjoy turn based combat and prove it time and time again.If you like it and played it then congrats. If you're larping and you saw it on youtube and are here pretending to be a fan, congrats. You can't change reality.
>>741969348Because it was made by a small team of passionate nerds. They didn't have investors or managers or DEI hires slowing them down or forcing them to add stupid shit for modern audiences. Gamers having a say in games also causes watered down dilute content that nobody cares about.
>>741964878Because the game has been astroturfed to hell and back also obviously was paid off at game awards, Persona 5 is a way more popular turn based game but didn't get even a fraction of the jerk off treatment E33 did.
I didn't beat E33. I got to where it was revealed that Verso was actually a manipulative, lying asshole the entire time that let Gustave get killed (like I knew he was hiding something, but didn't know it was going to be that bad), and the game just makes you go with him. I hear the ending is about choosing between him and Maelle, but I wanted to kill him as soon as I found out the truth about him. Dropped it at that point. Leave it to the french to start something good but just can't help themselves to shit all over it and make it sad.
>>741969576>it was made by a small team of passionate nerds. They didn't have investors or managersWhy do E33 shills lie so much?
>>741964878I played it on Game Pass.
>>741964878>great soundtrack >dialog isnt quippy modern retardation>good if played out story>UE5 aesthetics appeal to muh grafix fags>parrying appeals to muh git gud fagsThere are so many reasons people could like the game other than it being turn based. Also BG3 was good in spite of its combat as 5E is shit.
>>741969740P5 has been jerked off for almost 17 years. Its OST being used everywhere, even in normie media, and entire essays have been done on how it "changed my life" and how it "taught me to Take My Time" or some shit like thatThe only thing these kinds of threads do is to show people how asshurt they are about E33 being more popular than their favorite game
>>741970917>E33 being more popularIt's forgotten bro.
>>741966609based retard
>>741965140>unknown studio Literal nepobaby company more like
It's a good game, but the parry mechanic is fucking garbage, because most mobs are designed to be unavoidable, more or less like the souls boss meme with the mob standing still for 4 seconds and without prior notice just attacking instantly.
>>741971681It was still an unknown studio even if the founder was a rich boy, hell, I didn't even know about the game until I saw some youtuber pop in my feed playing it.
>>741965014
>>741971367Not according to every retard seething here
>>741965383>Lots of people buy whatever's trendy to fit in, boot it, and close it lmao. The achievement stats say otherwise.>It's why the steam statistics prove only 50% finished the tutorial. Wrong. It's at 88.2%. 50% is all the way at the end of act 2 and the ending is 39.7%. Look at basically any other game and you'll find E33 has a significantly higher completion rate than average.
>>741964878People played it on game pass and it grew over time because it wasn't an estabilished ip, so it's gonna have a high ccu, retard
>>741972175>The achievement stats say otherwise.The E33 stats literally prove that. Less than 40% of the people who bought it in steam bothered to finish it. And E33 is short as fuck.Let alone that if the story is what's most praised, how tf didn't people finish the story of that game?I don't get why you E33 shills are so insecure and dishonest. You don't have to defend it with your life and lie just because Asmongold told you to shill it.
>>741964878>Freemasonic AI slop>Judean janky wokeslopHow about neither?
>>741965140E33 is an AA game while Kingdom Comm 2 is a AAA game.
>>741972316why do I have the feeling you've watched more of his videos than 90% of the anons here?
>>741964878No one actually likes e33, tourists just latched onto it after deciding to make it an anti Japanese thing.
>>741964878The best stuff is never the most popular, most people are dumb and have bad taste.
>>741964878>>741965474>why did the indie game with no marketing that basically came out of nowhere and spread through word of mouth after launch not have a massive peak at launch>no other variables matter>every game MUST follow a typical AAA slop player curve or it's a flop
>>741966405>Xbox achievements
>>741972654> No marketing>> It was getting spammed everywhere and even got a movie deal before being releasedWhy are you shills so dishonest?Are you ok?Is the game so bad you need to lie to pretend it's good?
>>741967845>Ruiner NergiIsnt that from the expansion?
>>741967380Yeah, both statements are right, thus your point about warhorse is wrong too, the moment a studio is acquired by corporations or built with their support and backed by them, they cease to be indie, even if they were indie just a few years ago, Warhorse is not indie.
>>741968554>FUN and UNIQUEIt's basically Paper Mario for retards.
>>741965014FPBP
>>741972869If Warhorse is not an indie company and KCD 2 is not an indie game then E33 is not an indie game.Imagine claiming E33 being funded by a rich jew with a movie deal before release is on the same level as the Stardew Valley dev or FNAF dev coding their game on their free time after coming home tired from work with ZERO funding and ZERO advertisement and no other developers to help.
>>741964878it sold like 8 milly copies in a year, pretty good for a new studio's new ip.
>>741972264That's a high CCU tho. People are brain rotted from all the shitposting in Steam chart threads.
Dude, it sold 8 million while being on gamepass too.Like 10-12 million played that game, paying in some form, imagine with piracy.
>>741972654>indie gameThe 10 million dollar indie game with top dog Hollywood actors lmao.
>>741972981The Dorito Pope basically destroyed the meaning of indie game in order to pander to his rich sponsors.
I'm starting to think gamers are so lonely that they made this weird attachment to shilling E33 to feel they are part of a community.
>>741967750>Yet more people bought it and played it :Snot by your own logic redditor, a smaller proportion of players got the ending achievement lmao
>>741973150>top dog Hollywood actorsThat's being extremely generous faggot
>14 months and two days later>niggers are STILL mad about e33
>>741973390/v/ being down when it released so every board people migrated to being full of praise with it even when it came back was amazing.Then contrarianism started.
>>741973510man those early threads were fun. I even ejoyed the months of versofag vs. maellenigger threads that followed.
>>741972754>It was getting spammed everywhereThere were some threads before release, but not enough to count as spamming. And random people posting about a game they're interested in doesn't really count as marketing. (Hint: "marketing" means it's paid, I know english is hard for you)>even got a movie deal before being releasedYeah a studio called story kitchen bought the movie rights. They also have movie rights for my friend pedro, slime rancher the roblox masterpieces known as grow a garden and steal a brainrot.>>741973150>10 million dollarYeah that's a pretty low budget. Combined with them being creatively independent, I'd say they qualify as indie.
>>741973341>Star Wars >Lord of the Rings>MarvelMuh small grass-feed indie actors.
>>741964878nicher audience its like comparing a rts to an fps. an rts sustaining 10k playerbase would be amazing and even 5k would be decent.an fps stuck at 10k gets it shut down and is dead on arrival.
>>74197367610 million dollars was the budget of an AAA game back in the PS2 era.
>>741972316Try reading the entire post before you reply. 40% is high compared to other games.
I've played it, and yeah it's good but it really isn't the second coming of Christ like so many people think. The story is well written, but gameplay wise it's actually a step back compared to other turn based games.Shit, even Epic battle fantasy 5, which came out 8 years ago, is leagues ahead in gameplay
>>741973782And now it's 10-15 times that budget.
>>741973849That's why that's considered a AA budget now.
>>741973676>creatively independent
>>741973676>There were some threads before releaseYou can gaslight all you want, it doens't change reality. I couldn't use the news section of my phone before release without every vidya news being about E33, E33 movie deal, E33 prestigious voice actors, etc.
>>741973993Wasn't E33 revealed at one of the Dorito Pope events?
>>741973894It's barely A
> M-mixtape is an industry plant!Why> B-because one hipster loser in IGN liked it and gave it a good score!> E33 is not an industry plant pffttt so what if it had a movie deal and hollywood actors and a shitload of shilling and every single major youtuber was telling everyone to BUY BUY BUY it specially Asmongold.
>>741973993>don't use my phone to constantly click on every news article, gaming or otherwise>didn't get a single ad for E33funny how that works.
>>741974184I would say E33 is an AAA game since the term is more about quality and polish than budget. Triple A means that the game adheres to the highest quality standards set by the industry, and E33 does that for the most part since it has full voice acting and mocap, realistic visuals and nicely directed cutscenes.
>>741974084They sold out to gamepass, for advertising.
>>741974331>adheres to the highest quality standardsNot really? You can tell where the game cuts corners, visually speaking.Even the mocap is done with phones and sometimes it's a bit uncanny.
>>741973894>>741973849"indie" isn't a function of budget, there's no magical dollar threshold where you stop being indie. e33 was made by a (relatively) small team without interference from a major publisher, that's why it's indie. Kepler just threw money at it, unlike when sony or nintendo interferes with gamedev to ensure shareholder satisfaction.
>>741974208Both E33 and Mixtape are the same type of scam/psyop. There is an "indie publisher" that supports small artisanal games, but said publisher is actually bankrolled by megacorporations and billionaires.
>>741974421>You can tell where the game cuts corners, visually speakingWell that applies to most UE5 games, so that's the standard. Even shit like RDR2 looks blurry as fuck.
>>741973390>>741973510I remember everyone being excited the moment the reveal trailer was shown.
>>741966247No, but he's White, unlike you.
>>741974339>They sold out to gamepass, for advertisingSo Microsoft technically helped fund E33.
>>741974331>I would say E33 is an AAA game since the term is more about quality and polish than budgetThe exact opposite is true.
>>741974589>french jrpg>looking fun>ost was incredible from the get go>people alredy calling out gustave was going to dieFun stuff.
>>741974427Indie means that anyone can make the game in their garage. Almost no one has access to millions of dollars and a Hollywood cast.
>>741974503One sold the other didn't, retard..
>>741974642Microsoft also funded Cuphead in return for getting the game on switch.
>>741974589I remember people thinking it was some kind of scam with a nonsense name. a lot of people thought the devs were going to get funding and then run off with the bag.
>>741974709So one was a successful psyop vs a failed psyop.
>>741974703>Indie means that anyone can make the game in their garage.No?>Almost no one has access to millions of dollars and a Hollywood cast.Skill issue, get investors.
>>741974703>Indie means that anyone can make the game in their garage.Completely arbitrary definition that you made up. Your vibes do not determine what words mean. Silksong was made by the same people who made hollowknight, but they had access to many millions of dollars as a result of the success of their first game. Same for slay the spire 2 after slay the spire one. Neither sequel is any less indie than the original, so your post doesn't make any sense.
>>741974762The gameplay was three niggas in a row, that ain't hard to do.
>>741974781>muh small indie game made in my friend's basement >ackshually you should get investors
>>741969740>the game has been astroturfed to hell and backNot really. People talking about a game isn't astroturfing just because you personally don't get it.>obviously was paid off at game awardsAll I saw was it winning the categories it deserved. There were plenty of games by companies richer than sandfall nominated that could have outbid them for the awards if that was a thing.
>>741974929That's what you said, indie is not your random definition.Silksong had an infinite budget and dev time, and it's still an indie.
>>741974797The term comes from the music industry and that was the original implication. A group of people making a band in their garage vs people signing to big record labels.Slay the Spire and Hollow Knight didn't get a billionaire investor when making the sequel.
>>741974929>muh small indie gameThe dev team was tiny compared to triple a games>>741974929>made in my friend's basementand this was never advertised, because indie has never meant "I'm actually destitute..."' it just means "we're not beholden to some big publisher." Kepler did nothing but raise funds and throw money at sandfall. E33, good or bad, was a result of the dev's artistic vision, and not some board of directors' sharehold concerns.
>>741974991>Silksong had an infinite budget and dev time, and it's still an indie.Because it was made by a core team of three people and they never made shady deals with NetEase or Microsoft. They never hired Star Wars actors nor expanded their business to the point they could be treated as a small corporation (see: Hades 2).
>>741964878concurrent playercounts are not a statistic for how many people have played a game. they are a count of how many people are currently playing that game, on that specific platform. stop trying to make the stat into something it is not
>>741975015indie films have been a thing for longer than indie music publishers, so no, again you're just creating definitions based off of what "feels" correct to you. That doesn't make it so. And you're moving goalposts like a faggot. The budget for e33 was in the millions, the same levels of cash sts2 and silksong had access to. Now you invoke shadowy billionaires and will say "Heh, the REAL budget was way higher than what you SHEEPLE were told to believe..." when instead of making such posts, you should be killing yourself.
>>741975151>shady deals with NetEase or Microsoft. TIs this when you start throwing some retarded schizo headcanons about how netease funding it(it didn't) or how microsoft funded it (just gave money to have it on gamepass, like it does with a million of indie games)
>>741975045>The dev team was tiny compared to triple a gamesThat's because AAA team sizes have grown completely out of control. Still E33 has hundreds of people in the credits, it got funding from Xbox, it hired Hollywood actors. And when they started hiring they presented the project as an AA game.
>>741975015>A group of people making a band in their garageWhat? Tons of indie music has been from bands in studios that simply couldn't get signed to big labels. Not even in music does "indie" mean "we recorded this on a boombox because we can't afford to eat lol"
E33 was astroturfed for awards
>>741975216>indie filmsRUMAO https://youtu.be/kjwlrvcKcfI
>>741975283>hundreds of people in the credits,yeah dude QA testers are totally part of the dev team. Whatever faggot, this shit all got argued to death a year ago and you were disingenuous then, too.
>>741975302It deserves all of the praise it gets. Keep seething.
>>741975283>Still E33 has hundreds of people in the credits,How you dare repeat this bullshit after months is amazing.
>>741975015Video games are a completely different beast than music. Anyone with a thousand bucks to spare can buy some recording equipment and, provided he has the skill, record a song that's competitive in quality with major artists. Games require a fuck ton more effort to get even something simple out so the celing of indie naturally should be higher or it will become synonymous with low effort slop.
>>741975254NetEase is literally the main funder of Kepler alongside other unnamed megacorporations. It's an extremely shady businesses.
>>741964878>French Government GrantsHow """indie""".
>>741975459>It's an extremely shady businesses.Retarded ESL.
>>741975294Yeah that's the definition, that you started small and didn't sold out to the devil.
>>741975254>>741974781must nice coming from a multi-million dollar family that conveniently owns a hedge fund to invest in your pet game project. Definitely gives that indie vibe you know
>>741975463I mean... yes? A small team getting art grants from the government is the way to go.As clean as it gets for money, I know your country thinks it's communism or whatever, but it happens a lot in europe.

>>741975442>Games require a fuck ton more effort to get even something simple outUndertale was made in Andrew Hussie's basement with a box of scraps.
>>741975614>A small team getting art grants from the government is the way to go.30+ core team members with dozens of additional contractors isn't small. Also the CEO's daddy invested millions into the project, along with Kepler.
>>741975621>misrepresenting things this badly>having the gall to call others jews while engaging in the most jewish behavior possible
>>741974859the point wasn't that it was too ambitious of a game, it was that no one knew anything about the devs, and it sounded like a kickstarter project that gets abandoned after the concept phase.
>>741975569The guy was also given a top position at Ubisoft with no experience. Funny how that works.

Even if you want to count whoever distributed the physical copies of the game in Japan, since they are in the credits. Look at pic related.>Also the CEO's daddy invested millions into the projectNo he didn't.
>/v/ still thinking CCU is the same as copies soldSteam charts threads have rotted your brains.
>>741972540>tourists just latched onto it If only you knew how right you are. 4chan was one of the few places that was hyped for the game before it came out and at launch, before tourists latched onto it thinking that hating good games makes them look cool.
>>741977480Being smaller than Ubisoft doesn't change the fact that the game was funded by megacorps like NetEase. Thus, media controls remains in the hands of the ultra-rich.
>>741973123>while being on gamepass>Like 10-12 million played that gameProbably a low estimate.
>>741977480Yes, he did.https://www.pappers.fr/entreprise/sandfall-interactive-890055171
Haven't found a game after I played e33 that even gets close to that standard. The combination of story, music, art, dialogue, philosophy, pacing is just amazing. A work of art that surpasses all other video games I've played.
>>741965474What's this garbled mess of a post supposed to mean, other than you being the reason why people post this chart?
>>741977739trvke
>>741977567It's one of many metrics tho.
>>741969861>>741969861>They didn't have investors or managersIs that what he said though? Or did you just deliberately cut off half the sentence to make it mean something besides what was actually said? Fucking spastic retard.
>>741977591Mostly because of Luna and Maelle tho.
>>741977786Yeah, but it loses to developers saying>we sold Xwhich sandfall has regularly done.It sits at 8 million copies sold, which is amazing for its budget.
>>741974427Back in P2 era and before that it was called "being a company". You made a game and that was it. Why in addition to that do you need to get an /indie/ label and push it in people's faces? That is marketing. You're marketing a game and need everyone to know you're betterer. Surely there are no marketers in 4chan, so you don't have to do this.

>>741977734>company leads were all 33 years old when the game came outThis is really some Freemasonic ritual shit.
>>741977918In the late 2000s there were indie hits like World of Goo and Braid that gained a lot of traction and prestige, so the big companies immediately tried to co-opt the term, so you got games like Journey and Cuphead, that had smaller budgets but were funded by Sony and Microsoft.It was also necessary, most AA game companies died at the end of the PS2 era.
>>741978343>In the late 2000s there were indie hits like World of Goo and Braid There have been games that weren't made by renowned studious, even independent, before that.>so the big companies immediately tried to co-opt the termYes, I know, I'm telling you to stop using terms pushed to you by big companies and playing into their game, for no reason at all. basically, you're just sucking corpomarketdick.>It was also necessaryNo. You're a corpomarketdicksucker.
>>741964878We know they sold 8 million copies, tard.
>>741977991more like brown chink/jeet accent.
E33 broke the brownies.
>>741977147its not meant to be played at all, its meant to be modded
>>741978903>There have been games that weren't made by renowned studious, even independent, before that.Mostly Japanese doujin games, but those weren't wildly popular around the world like World of Goo was at the time.When I say "necessary" I mean that the console companies needed smaller games to fill their game libraries, that's what made the PS2 so successful. So pushing indie games, even if they were fake indie games, was something they needed to do as a business.
>>741964878and then they say this shit wasnt astroturfed.

>free on gamepass>still sells 8 million copiessomehow this is bad
i played it and i have an urge to replay it from the start, or maybe do a ng+ run shit was good
>>741979552>>free on gamepass>>still sells 8 million copiesprobably because nobody outside of Microsoft employees actually subscribes to gamepass
>>741979189receiving a budget to launch a game as a small studio still made you an indie dev if you got published by a larger company back then, indie meant more of a style of small, gameplay loop first mindset gaming development of shorter, more original/experimental designs, the term indie meaning what it means now is 100% co-opted by western trannies pushing an agenda.
>>741979479>you will never be white, you will never be european, you will always be an african asian mutt
>>741979685Flower and Journey weren't indie games.Sony took advantage of the confusion because in the Xbox 360 era budgets increased massively and most AA companies died out.
>>741979679retard
>>741979971Game Pass users are mostly ball and gun gamers playing on their Xbox consoles tho. That's far from the E33 core audience.
>>741980089I accept your concession

i dont get it, are you actually so low IQ you dont understand that steam isn't the only platform?
>>741967845>>741968663>>74196934872% have finished Resident Evil Requiem48% Spider-Man
>>741981957resident evil games are like 3 hours long
>>741981871yes so?did he payed for the whole studio? do you even know what a nepo baby is? Having a dad with money isn't being a nepo baby.
reminder E33 has a much higher completion % than pretty much anything else recently, regardless of the genre. you lost and got raped btw. >>7419652468 million*
>>741982028Took me 18 hours to finish Requiem
>>741981951Doesn't matter, it's a comparison chart. KCD is out-performing E33 on the most popular platform
>>741981957Spiderman is impressive. RE7 and 8 both took me under 10 hours to beat. I didn't buy 9 but I heard it was more of the same
>zoomers cant undersand not live service gameskek
>>741979368notice how the darkie has nothing else to disparage this game with other than this. seething that a White man used his money to create something beautiful and not something cancerous to western civilization like other richfags. kek.
>>741982036>Having a dad with money isn't being a nepo baby.nice self-report, shill
>>741982036>did he payed

>>741982094Silksong has a 40% achievement rate for the standard ending, and that's a pretty hard game.

>>741982236yeah so you don't know what a nepo baby is.>>741982276Your retarded language is at fault , payed is just better than paid.And not every ESL is indian you subhuman troglodyte. most of the world is ESL.

>>741964878KCD2 proved that despite /vpol/ screeching there is a massive market for race conscious, white privilege realist gamesand woke gamers(the silent majority) are starved for it
>>741983248Business angels, nothing to do with the holding, this is public info. Do your research before saying shit, retard.>>741983394that true, but have nothing to do with what we are talking about.
>>741983523>Business angelsso the nepobaby with 0 experience running a business conveniently gets a blank check from angel investment?

>>741984029>you are fucking clueless
>>741984029angels need proof for returns. Broche has never bootstrapped a real business or sold products. All credit and collateral comes from his family (i.e. he's a nepobaby)>that how a lot of startup work for exampleyes, more nepobabies
>>741984112again the names are public, and the father (or anybody from the family) is not one of them...I did the deep dive last year already, that why I know that shit.Their finances are clean. I'm not the only one who's checked.>>741984347>angels need proof for returnsNo, they don't LMAO. That's why they're called "angels." They invest in random shit if they see potential, knowing there's a good chance their money will disappear. Sandfall probably convinced them with a prototype or some shit, the same way they later convinced Kepler.>>741984347>Broche has never bootstrappedyou have to start somewhere>All credit and collateral comes from his familyyou don't necessarily have to get collateral for a business angels... you are just making shit up
that time again, huh?
>>741985132No one who actually is white is this obsessed with proving it.
>>741985437that's a great point. pretty sure all these "you're brown" posters unironically use the term "colored eyes" lmao
>>741967380>> W-warhose does not make indie games because uhhh embracercorrect, being a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the largest publishers in the industry means you are no longer independent.
>>741968663Elden Ring also has like a 40% completion rate
>>741984985Uh oh, melty.
>>741985132>made by white people*>+400 outsourced jeets
>>741986034Is NetEase one of the largest publishers in the gaming industry?
>>741986974Neither Kepler nor NetEase owns Sandfall (I think, I don't know if Sandfall bought in to Kepler)
>>741987029It's a co-ownership setup. So they are effectively part of NetEase.
We are dealing with levels of Talmudic trickery previously unknown to man, folks.

>>741988850It's triple A defenders, probably need some kind of consolewar mindvirus to keep seething about indie games in 2026

>>741964878I can tell how much you're fucking giggling, you fucking cunt
>>741989017>these background NPCs and that one expedition member who dies immediately along are the only black characters in the entire game
>>741989357The fact that they are there in what is essentially 19th century Paris is making me cautious for their next game though. They did make Lucien a total bro that went back twice to save Gustave though
>>741989357>Nothing but constant talk about how ""White" E33 is.>Shows how lefties cannot imagine a world without non-Whites, and shoehorned them in a setting based on Pre-WW1 France.>"erm these are background characters"You will get a dose of reality with their next game.
E33 is not turn based, it's obnoxious parryslop plus QTE.
>>741989726what's the matter anon? Upset the lefties made a more spiritually Caucasian game than Dan "The Kike" Vavra?
KCD2 is so fucking boring. Game is paced like complete shit.
>>741989726>You will get a dose of reality with their next game.notice how the buckbroken anti-E33brown can only talk about the games funding or the games future sequel because he cannot disparage the E33 for its quality

>>741993603>This game is made for people who hate these games!Except the numerous enthusiasts who love the game and the devs themselves.>There are loads of games better than it!... three decades agoJust give it a rest and admit you hate it because it isn't Japanese.
>>741982553>>741991239Because it's misleading to retards who don't understand how data works.
