Which game do you feel was it that woke everyone up, even the normie gaming community to never again buy a new release on day one? Ergo, we should be thanking it for indirectly leading to Concord and Highguard's disaster launch and closure?For me, it was Total War: Warhammer 3 that woke me up.
>>734219475>Which game do you feel was it that woke everyone upNo game. Normies are still asleep.
>>734219475Cyberpunk 2077 caused the biggest shift from people who played the game day one.
>>734219475I think Starfield did something.
>>734219475Definitely no mans skys tho it redeemed itself
>>734219475Empire Total War. It also taught me that gaming journalism is utterly corrupt 6 years before GG
>>734219475>Total War: Warhammer 3You would think it would be as simple as making a big warhammer 2 dlc but the sheer amount of bugs and performance issues made it feel like they had built an entirely different game from scratch
>>734219475Companies don't know how much they sabotage each other every time they burn their goodwill salting established franchises.The industry can deny it all they want, but Fable's only going to help keep their buyers new and old trained to not fork over their wallets.
>>734219475>bad game>terrible game that everyone expected to fail>decent game that still has fanbase>game that launched horribly but managed to fix majority of issues
>>734222172Why are you going up down up down instead of left right left right
>>734222172I remember The Day Before becoming the 2nd most wishlisted game on Steam immediately after their fake trailer debuted. And sure, Cyberpunk eventually had a No Man's Sky redemption. But some people never forget how they were burned during the initial release.
>>734219475not many people actually bought The Day Before it just got brief hype from a fake trailer and then gradually descended into people realizing it was a farce
>>734219475None of them. People are going apeshit over Crimson Desert and when that comes out they'll get excited for the next thing
>>734222531starfield has less players than most games on /vg/ yet still has a general.>>734223787it had an amazing story with great characters keeping it going, so it wasn't completely dead on arrival
I guess you missed the news about Cyberpunk selling 35 million copies.https://www.cdprojekt.com/pl/wp-content/uploads-pl/2025/11/prezentacja-wynikowa-q3-2025-en.pdf
>>734219475Total war Rome 2. Was absolutely dogshit. It was hyped up SO much...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QK-lcW8a8
>>734224303Why are you replying to me
>>734219475>normie gamingno idea, I'm out of touch with them, but for me it was Dark Souls 2
Why is cyberpunk in this list, only virgin losers hate on it
>>734225843>virgin losers
I was leary after FF14 v1 then Anthem was the nail in the coffin. Just wait for a sale on everything now and never go day 1
>>734224340>>734225843And how many out of those millions felt repulsed they had spent their money on an incomplete game? How many people had CDPR unwittingly convinced to never again buy on day one DA: Veilguard, Square-Enix's Avengers, or hell actual good titles?
