Normies jump on the bandwagon and get filtered by game difficulty. It's actually a good thing.

What are the jannies even doing? These steam chart threads need to be bannable immediately.
>>
>>720114468
some % of players will always stop playing after they decide it's not for them, or after finishing the game

at release is where players peak because that's when everyone finally is able to play, so people who are waiting for it are all concentrated together on that day. after that point players are diluted across time

but they're not all going to stay playing it forever. at some point you finish playing and move on

It's a FOTM game backed by zoomers pissing themselves from the hype of a "long" wait. It wasn't really that long of a wait at all, but I guess to the extremely young HK audience it felt like it.
>>
>>720114468
Normalfaggot hypemonkeys got filtered by the difficulty and gamers already finished it since it's a short game that can be completed in 10-15 hours.

Koreans and Nips don't have the same problem, but their reviews are also mixed.
The East and West are really divided on this game.
Most likely because one was super hyped about it, and another just learned about HK and didn't find it anything special.

Basically, yeah.
The average person doesn't really have the attention span for or willingness to play games like this anymore, all they want is games where they can sit down for an hour or two and win. That's why moviegames (very linear, always progresses forwards with minimal thought from the player) and live service slop (just play 20 minute rounds or missions, always get rewards and dopamine hits) keep on being made, because it's what normies actually want.

They'll still buy whatever's currently being hyped up, because "popular = must buy", but if they play it for any significant amount of time is a whole other story.

One MMO was, FFXIV. But also, MMOs have like two to three decades worth of negative reputation as games for filthy disgusting NEETs.
Also that raids require you to pay attention, have autism, and to do everything near fucking perfectly. And that most MMOs have shitty fucking gameplay that filters people hard.

the MMO with the build closest to that which caters the short-attention span dopamine seeking normie was probably FF14 but with the current state being that "MSQ is le bad" and every new content being locked behind MSQ, I'm not surpised it's not doing as well as it used to.

It is a solid 8/10 that gets dragged down because the early game sucks.
It is way too tough early on. But, the game becomes fun when you unlock all the tools. Until you get the wall jump, float, double jump and the pin throw teleport it is a bad game mechanically.

This is a good find, anon.
In many of those games, there’s a massive disconnect between stated opinions and actual behavior.
Put simply, despite people saying the game is good, they refuse to spend more time on it. Moreover, 70-80% of players didn’t even finish the game. So, not only do they refuse to replay it for alternate endings, but many don’t even complete it once, despite their stated opinion being positive.
You could easily write a paper about this. Maybe some mathy /v/anon can do it.

Can you really not keep track of a reply chain for more than like 2 posts? I'm not even going to bother explaining what the conversation you've been having was about because you only need to go back like 4 fucking posts

>I'm not even going to bother explaining what the conversation you've been having was about because you only need to go back like 4 fucking posts
you don't even know what this conversation is about clearly, because you couldn't understand a single post in this thread.

Wow, fucking crazy, are you telling me that games with endless replayability (even if the loops for 2 of those 3 games are shit) get played more than games that don't??? Who could have guessed? here's your (you) you disingenuous faggot.
