Why is Stellar Blade the most successful action game of the decade?
>>730650430BNWO propaganda
>>730650751Sadly this. Even wuchang got 100k+ players. Post covid really added a TON of new people to steam. The standards changed. Now if your game doesn't hit 50k+ players, it was just a meh release.
>>730650430>steamkekDMCV sold more
>>730650430She's married to some important dude
Because people have shit taste.
>>730650430cause 2B collabs in every game under the sun for the past 8 years inadvertently advertised SB before it was ever a concept. a whole generation of kids grew up with 2B in their games despite never having played Automata, so when SB came out and everybody knew it was an Automata clone, there you have it.
>>730650430NiggerMonster Hunter Wilds has 50k players daily, almost a year after release. It beats Stellar Blade handily.
>>730650751No way. Did the "unc" anti-meme propaganda work on you preteens? Pretty pathetic you are that gullible.Old = bad isn't a new trend, kid. But when you hit 18 you will understand
I love her
>>730651627Monster Hunter is an RPG game.
>>730650430Why didn't Stellar Blade win any steam awards this year?
>>730650430FunVarietyEye candyGood music
>>730652080It won the gold tier sale awards at least. https://store.steampowered.com/charts/bestofyear/2025
>>730653096>Between 13th - 24thOuch that's just brutal.
>>730650430I never believed such perfect beauty could ever exist in a video game...
>>730650430This is where it all started.
>>730653235Its in the same tier as e33, asscreed shadows and dispatch. That's decent enough. The platinum tier is mostly live service games anyway.
>>730650430>Why is Stellar Blade the most successful action game of the decade?Because of Eve's CULO
>>730650430>Why is Stellar Blade the most successful action game of the decade?I was tailor made for a certain audience, which hasn't had a comparable product designed specifically for them for the last 20+ years.It's like wondering why Love&Deepspace makes 100million dollars per month. Where else are they gonna go?
>>730655852It's the Chinese. The Chinese love this kind of shit and fell in love with this girl and like the idea. Probably 150K of those peak users were Chinese. It'd be a modest hit outside of China-Korea but those markets absolutely loved the game. Korea is small enough, but the Chinese have a lot of people and nerd boys. Even making a game that attracts 0.0001% of nerd boys in their 20s or 30s results in mega-huge sales. Speaking of, why aren't Americans specifically targeting Chinese gamers?! This would seem to be a huge growth market but ti seems like an afterthought.
>>730650430Cute girls + cool setting + great art.
>>730656034>why aren't Americans specifically targeting Chinese gamers?!They do. Blizzard for example. Diablo 4 is plenty popular with chinese. But AAA games specially catering to the chinese? I don't think so. The west's idea of chinese tastes is just fantasy china and martial arts. They are not tapping into the fantasy girlfriend and elvish male hunks that actual asians like.
>>730655852>for them for the last 20+ years.I just realized that 2butt game came more than 20 years ago, feeling old now
>>730656293Almost 10 but yeah. 2017 was a long ass time. Almost 2 generations of consoles now goddamn.
watch the spammer reappear out of nowhere
Sony needs Stellar Blade 2 more than it needs Sony.
>>730650430action games are niche, stellar slop is literally meant for retarded porn addicted NPCs who dont even play any actual action games to begin with except fromslop at best
>>730650430>most successful action game of the decade?>shows 2 games not made this decade Unironically, coomers. Nier would have had much higher numbers but the port was originally horrendous, and it took them years to actually do anything about it.
>>730650430Go based go richAlso all 3 game mentioned in this pic are buttonmasher game with zero depth, bland art direction and ugly male protagonist nier included because you spend more time playing as a cry baby chud
>>730656747Maybe don't make shit looking games for libtards?You can make a good game with sexy character you know
>>730656034checks outfunnily enough the Japanese seemed to have a slight negative bias against it
>>730657240>You can make a good game with sexy character you knowindian blade certainly isnt one, which just confirms all you need is to put porn into your games to trick retarded bottom of the barrel subhumans into buying them no matter how vapid and shit the actual game part would be
>>730657365That's just literally every Asian game now
>>730655852If you are going by the mobile chart then LaDs is highly overshilled.
>>730650430Sex + decent gameplay + good visualsIts that simple
>>730650430>ignores every action game that's more popularWhy are goongrifters incapable of honesty?
>>730657679such as?
>>730657402Cope tranny
>>730657402Sex appeal=/=porn
numbers are actually crazy it must be mostly chinese and other asians, right? thought most people would hold similar opinion to mine, which is that her face is rather weird looking crazy to think it dunks on all resident evil as well
>>730656365He is always here
>>730657702FFVII Rebirth
>>730650907Most of DMCV sales came from when the game was like, $10.
>>730656238It is weird, and almost kinda racist? I've seen both Hollywood and video games try to appeal to "China", and it's always some surface level shit and they don't seem to get anything about China or its culture.I get these nerd boys. They are single kids and often socially inept and nerdy. They want escapism. Pretty women is escapism. Why is this so hard?Why can't AAA devs realize when they make things ugly that they're making something for the tastes of Americans?
>>730657932not an action game
>>730657932HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>730658060>It is weird, and almost kinda racist? I've seen both Hollywood and video games try to appeal to "China", and it's always some surface level shit and they don't seem to get anything about China or its culture.Its almost like the people calling everyone racist are extremely fucking racist themselves. They think that they have to "speak for" minorities because they view them as lesser than themselves. They lack the ability to immerse and understand other cultures because they view themselves as inherently superior.
>>730657760do only "trannies" care about gameplay, my fellow subhuman casual shitskin?
>>730658017Most of stellar blade PC sales were from china where the game was like $30.
>>730650430Thats a lot of player count for ninja gaiden
>>730658393YesYWNBAW
>>730658223>ignoring console salesStellar Blade only sold 1 million copies, Rebirth was at 3 million the last update
>>730658449>Its chineseWhat is the new copeJust accept the fact that your buttonmashing slop are outdated
That's quite a feat considering a lot of sessions only last a few minutes.
>>730658303It's not that they're racist, but just that they're incredibly sheltered and only interact with people from their own areas and have little contact with the outside world, and in fact their worldvview makes them think they know everything and don't need to bother to do research. People outside USA and Europe are VERY socially conservative and more akin to Americans from the 50s. Likeing pretty women is not some "incel" white male thing, it's a MALE thing and a Chinese nerdboy and an American nerd boy have more in common than not common.
>>730658541Stellar Blade has higher revenue due to its cheaper marketing and development budget. It also sold 3 million copies despite being a new IP.
>>730658505Thanks for confirming that pajeets all bought brown blade en masse for the porn and have never actually played a single action game in their lives, and that you were even sold the narrative that this is some epic anti "tranny" own because trannies totally arent even more porn addicted and degenerate than the average fat chud
>>730658657>It's not that they're racistOh, they are. The rest of what you said is true enough, but they are 100% racist, which is why they pull shit like "LatinX". It takes all of 5 seconds to realize how fucking retarded it is, research or no. Or just, you know, talking to anyone hispanic. But they dont do that, and when they do they dismiss them as the minority opinion because they supposedly know better. Same with blacks and every other minority. Well except asians, now theyre "white adjacent", whatever the fuck that means, so its ok to shit on them now apparently.They are racist simply for saying its ok to shit on white people but not on any other race. Thats racist. I dont give a fuck what their reasoning is. 00s had it right, equally opportunity shitting or none at all, anything else is hypocritical
>>730657365>china has a shitload of gamers>chinese negative reviews are 7% >english is just over 4% and has a higher very positive ratio

What caused the schizo melty?
>>7306504306.6 years ago Steam had only 16 million CCU compared to current 40 million, so adjusted for inflation DMC5's number would be 220K.Cope seethe and dilate AGP troon.
>>730659337>QRDButthurt leftist who hates the hetero male gaze, but particularly this game as it's the 'beacon' for it, successful and good. This can't be allowed to exist is the mainstream for them.

What the fuck is this board anymore
>>730659794How new are you to think that spamming schizos havent been part of 4chinz since its inception? Do you even know that we didnt used to have captcha at all? Do you know why it was implemented in the first place?
>>730659891>Do you know why it was implemented in the first place?to sell passes, obviously bots ignore captcha, it's not hard at all

>>730650430It combined a bunch of things that we rarely get in tandem: First rate production values, great gameplay with no deal-breaking monetization, and unapologetically sexy, feminine girls from a company that's famous for its cute and charismatic designs.This is what gamers wanted the future of gaming to be, not the garbage that's been shoved down our throats increasingly by the gaming establishment since the 7th gen. The stomping out of nerd culture (classic videogames, fantasy, sci-fi, metal, wrestling, etc.) was never organic, and western AAA is collapsing in large part because people have had enough of their boring, feminized garbage who's #1 priority is avoiding what Karen finds "weird" or "obscene". Anime is thriving because it's the last remaining vestige of nerd culture.

>>730650907snoyfag
>>730650430DMCV came out during the time that consoles ware still relevant.Nier A was a shit PC port so most people waited for patches.Ninja Gaiden is way to expensive and is on game pass.Stellar blade is just prof that PC is now more relevant than Consoles.
>>730659532It BTFOd all of the other single player Sony ports by a mile.Steam having more users than it did ten years ago is relevant, true, but that it's still a relatively small number of games that pull Stellar Blade numbers, especially at a $60 price point + DLC.
>>730658824>despite being a new IPThis is an understated factor. Games that just blow up from out of left field are freak cases. The arc of a studio like From Software is much more common, where they establish themselves with a moderately successful title and then snowball.Shift Up needs to get Stellar Blade 2 out the door, though. People will stop thinking about brands that aren't engrained in their psyches after 5 years or so (that the MBAs don't understand this is just more proof that they're the most worthless people ever; in theory, this kind of insight is what they should have over the programmers and artists). The timeline needs to be something like-2027: First round of promotional material2030 (no later): Release
