people see a game with less than 10 reviews and assume it failed because it's bad
oftentimes, they are incorrect
the game failed because the developer severely overestimated the organic exposure their game would receive purely from existing on steam
valve has kept the requirement of external initial promotion as a subtle secret for indies, letting people shadow drop games in hopes that enough people will play it for it to blow up, but this never happens
you must generate at least $10,000 of gross revenue within a 14 day period, at any point during your games existence on steam, for valve to consider it a "real" game and begin promoting it
we see many games flop because the developer assumed they would enjoy fair discoverability, drop their game, receive low reviews, and then cement their game as a failure due to potential buyers assuming it's bad because of its low review count
very brutal cycle
the meta promo strat is to spam promotional content on youtube shorts, farm enough wishlists to estimate that 10k in 14 day revenue period, and then hope your game is actually good enough to continue gaining momentum on steam once it experiences real algorithmic promotion

And that approach greatly limits what games you'll be willing to make. Maybe you'll make a vampire survivors clone with that, because that kind of game is quick and maybe fun to do.
Not an RPG though (the real kind), because they take a very long time to make and have lots of not fun aspects to them.
But it's not like you'd understand, you have never made a single thing in your life.

I think OP intentionally chose PS2 to argue about retro since that generation was just starting to implement technology that is still used today, like online multiplayer, USB ports, etc
I would argue Dreamcast and Xbox are still retro
It really depends what criteria you use to define retro.

Its cool until you realize gta 4 has no persistence in its world. Push a cart down a hill it rolls into a ped. Cool. Walk a few meters away and turn back, the cart is back where it was.
Cars also follow the same shit they did in the 3d universe games where they despawn and spawn just by moving the camera around.
Also gta 4 is a shit game in general.
>>
>>730749574
>Its cool until you realize gta 4 has no persistence in its world.
That also applies to most modern games, lest you forget about shit like Cyberpunk 2077 and its disappearing/constantly shifting cars.
Ironically, the exception is mostly other Rockstar games.

>>730749542
>Bandai owns them
lmao no they do not retard. Bandai is a publisher. Just like Nintendo is a publisher for Duskbloods. As a matter of fact, Fromsoftware had it in their contract for Elden Ring that they have the rights to purchase the IP for themselves so they don't have another BB/ Demons Souls situation like they had with Sony where the publisher keeps the rights. And guess what? As soon as ER released, they bought the rights in completion off Bandai. Bandai owns nothing in Fromsoft

I have really enjoyed watching people go utterly fucking rabid over the gacha system. It has a bunch of weird little side details, but it boils down very simply.

>No?
>Then don't pull for anyone, return to the mines
>Yes?
>Pick someone you want and do 10xs until you hit
>If you hit early, congrats, you have a down payment towards saving up 120
>Also you get a free 10x on next banner which will not be relevant to you, but it's FREE weapon banner pulls so why not
Same idea with weapon banner. Have guarantee or fuck off.
"Building pity" is an excuse gamblers use to waste resources.
Now whether or not the system is actually "oof" worthy depends on the pull economy.
Beta tests indicate ~120 pulls (with monthly pass) per-patch, which is 1 character per-patch, in which case it is quite "oof."

Democratic Detonation is significantly better than any other warbond. It gives you the two best primaries in the game, a secondary that can close bug holes and fabricators, and it gives you an extremely useful grenade. It's not even close, it's absolutely the number one priority with super credits.

With that warbond, you just way more versatility in your loadout options.
