I don't understand the obsession with sales numbers or reviews. if you enjoyed the game isn't that enough? *pic unrelated I just enjoy tungsten cubes
gets you most (you)s
TUNGSTEN...
>>726045160Because it indicates health of the industry and genre specifically. If you enjoy something that keeps failing over and over again you better be ready to play that same thing forever since no more will get made. This isn't rocket science.
>>726045442I'd rather something I like die than ever be subjected to trying to appeal to wider audiences and ruining what I loved about it.
I love tungsten
>>726045160It's easy shitposting matieral, if a game is good and has loads of sales/players, rub it in everyone's faces, if it's bad and has next to no players, rub it in everyone's faces.There is no in-between.
>>726045513You're in the minority with that opinion.
>>726045160it makes sense in context of multiplayer pvp games
>>726045442so it's important to obsess over sales numbers and reviews because the games made with mass appeal in mind that will always succeed over niche titles is somehow influenced by the autistic screeching of people posting on a mongolian basket weaving forum? yes this is a run in sentence no I do not care
I still rather buy gold cube
>>726045160>birthday gift idea>solid tungsten cubeI mean it has it's uses but I prefer you just give me the money at that point. In fact, I almost always prefer money. My tastes are too specific/autistic for people to attempt to satisfy.
>>726045160What's the metal you can chew like gum?
>>726045785Mercury
>>726045785lead
>>726045160garbage metal
>>726045785mercury
>>726045514That thing would weigh around 65 tons assuming its 5x5x5 feet
>>726045785selenium
>>726045754but you need one
>>726045896I did the math when I was sent the pic
>>726045961What is that last bullet point? Is that some hippy nonsense the boomers like?
>>726045160TUNGESTEN CUBE TUNGESTEN CUBE TUNGESTEN CUBE TUNGESTEN CUBE TUNGESTEN CUBE TUNGESTEN CUBE
>>726045785Lithium.
>>726045754Frankly, now that i think about it i'd find it pretty cool if i got a tungsten cube as a gift, i'm not even sure why. Especially if it was a giant cube like this>>726045514 I'd make sure to prepare some nice space for it and all (i'm just not sure how i'd transport it there considering that it'd be heavy as shit).>>726045916My favorite chemical element.
>>726045160I just want good games to do well and bad games to flop.
>>726045720>so it's important to obsess over sales numbers and reviews because the games made with mass appeal in mind that will always succeed over niche titles is somehow influenced by the autistic screeching of people posting on a mongolian basket weaving forum?No, these figures should be observer within the context of their genres. This is the part most people don't care about and just want to shitpost.
>>726045785Arsenic
>>726045417>>726045514>>726046140reddit meme?
>>726045785BALLS OF STEEL
>>726045160Nope, we're investors. We don't play games.
fanboys were always a cancer, and this is what happens when you let it metastasize. also, the 3rd worlders and tablet kids try really hard to fit in here, but don't have the self awareness to make it funny or interesting>4chan has a reputation as a hardcore place for hardcore trolls such as myself. so 4chan is the place i go to be nasty and complain about things nonstop because im so hardcore.they don't know or believe anything, they've probably never felt genuine anger in their life. this is just a way to add flavor to doomscrolling for them, their brains are totally fried and they don't want to get better
>>726046421>figures should be observer within the context of their genresso basic sales team shit that I already pointed out in my run on sentence? mass appeal designed to sell beating out niche titles. madden 2006 beat out godhand by a wide margin. we still get sports ball games but nothing like godhand. your faggy appeal to sales numbers means nothing, it's art for profit.
>>726046657lol fucking newfag I bet you don't even have a finger box
because retards took over legacy franchises and ruined them and that's the only way to combat themimagine the West would be living in communistic socialism
>>726046140>>>/vt/
>>726045160Some people just like to pick fights and chances are someone is going to be pissed off a game doing well/poorly. It's gonna keep happening until people can reign that in.
>>726046825acknext time cry harder please. you got played by the coin clippers
>>726045160Liking a game is good, but other people liking it too is better.If a game you like flops, you're not getting more of that game, or a future installment might just be one of those "greater audience" trash games that takes out all the shit you like to try to force getting more sales.Same with reviews. If you like a game but all the reviews are shit, you're looking at a real chance of them fucking with the game's sequel to "fix" whatever pissed off the reviewers, which could be a good thing or a bad thing.I mean, one-offs you love are fine too, but it's great if you love a game, have a lot of "this would be cooler if-" thoughts, and the game does so well that a sequel ends up filling out all those "what ifs".
oh no
>>726045514I don't care about tungsten, but I'd gladly take that prize. at $22 per ounce, that's easy money right there.
>>726051814Good luck carrying it
>>726045160circlejerking about taste is a form of parasocialization the same way looking up for opinions to be influenced by from e-celebs is
>>726045160damn, the other pictures make the new Steam Machine look a lot bigger, no wonder everyone says it's going to flop
>>726045442>Because it indicates health of the industry and genre specifically.Lol bullshit, sales/reviews numbers are literally only used as flamewar fuel for the sake of it or culture war obsession which is a fucking mental illness that should gtfb2/pol/>>726045523This man is correct.
>>726052387it's the same density as gold>1 solid liter of gold weighs 20kg just btw
>>726045160I am incapable of enjoying a videogame if others aren't actively playing or discussing it. See: Visions of Mana. Decent game. Couldn't beat it because it was so dead and I hear the studio was cruelly dissolved right after it was released.
>>726053847better make it fluid then mayhaps
>>726053847You can melt gold easily though.
Most of the space for talking about games is dominated by shills that don't actually care about games, and stupid people that think sales numbers or reviews track with the quality of a game.
>>726045160people (retards) think popularity = good sales numbers = popularity
>>726057916That's actually not true either.You can dupe a bunch of people into buying shit they don't care about.Sales while it might seemingly intuitively make sense they have a strictly firm relation with popularity actually don't.Like, at all.This is the same logistical error youtube uses to scam advertising and investment clients.
>>726045160A lot of people are incapable of explaining why they like something without speaking like a corporate executive.
>>726047002uhh Im not trans, we have strokesticks here
>>726045160For me, it's because good sales indicate commercial success and the more successful a great game is, the likelier it is I'll see more of it being made.I also hate when shit games perform well for that same reason
