>>3931527I love this artwork very much.
It seems that Metaphor hype either dwindled extremely fast or I just had my expectations too high (or I'm not looking in the right places as everywhere seems dead in discussions)
>>3931820bit of bothMAYBE being a GOTY nominee will garner more sales.It reminds me of NieR Gestalt. Released the same month as FFXIII I believe. And as a result, it went completely ignored until Drakengard 3 where it was already cult classic status.This year's been full of massive launches and paired with Silent Hill 2: R and Persona 3: R, I think its attention has been massively stunted
>>3931820Like general discussion? /vg/ and leddit are still active. I dunno where else people would go for discussion nowadays x/twitter was never really a place for normal discussion to me. I guess there is tumblr. Fujos are pretty productive with fanfic and art imo but there's a lot to divide attention with mouthwashing's popularity, people content with persona/smt and of course gacha fujos. And then grok AI splintered people into different sites. And anecdotally I've seen people say they will wait for the expanded version because of atlus's history
>>3931830>mouthwashing's popularityI hadn't heard of this game once until suddenly some fujos I follow on twitter became obsessed with the burn victim and rapist. The things that become shockingly huge successes with fujoshi never seem to be things I'm interested in.
>>3931820I think it's fine, we can't expect a huge hype right away. This is a new IP and it needs time. Plus it is better to have steady flow than a fast paced hype. GOTY is possible and a Royal version isn't out of question or DLC if they learned anything. I know they wanna focus more on DLC but Metaphor is still one of the oldest in dev so maybe they regret leaving some things out.
>>3931830The /vg/ thread is a bit so-so currently because of the meltdown the VGA nomination is taking a toll on the rebirth schizo but otherwise discussion is very sporadic. Tumblr is also pretty deaddish from what I see, so I suppose most people just talk to close friends or locked accounts on twitter.Maybe I understimated that there's a lot of things that are getting people's attention on.>>3931885I really hope there is some DLC teased or announced in the future. I'd be happier if the game's lifespan could be extended a lot more, even if it's maybe too "early" to announce DLC
