STOP THE COUNT! AAHHHHHH WHY ARE YOU ENJOYING SOMETHING WE TOLD YOU NOT TO!! IT FLOPPED! STOP PLAYING!
No it did pretty well 5 million sounds like a lot
Korea won
Meanwhile Marathon still hasn't announced their 1 Million Copies Sold milestone yet...
>>736998839C-COPIES? NOT "PLAYERS" OR "DOWNLOADS" OR "DISCORD USERS"? AIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>736998839I really hope they can fix the story (they can't)
>>736998839Who are you quoting
concord 4
>>736999007It's good, they just need to put some of the exposition in the glossary into the actual dialogue and there'd be nothing at all wrong with it.
>>736998839>make game that isn't really all that special in any specific regard but overall enjoyable>people play it>"How could that have happened?!"
>>736999117There are multiple occasions where Kliff is suddenly omniscient and pulls his objectives out of the ether after a cutscene says absolutely nothing to indicate them. There are multiple other occasions where an entire character arc is alluded to that literally didn't happen. You would need to add a LOT of actual story to this game for it to make sense start to finish.The beginning section is especially bad for random inexplicable objectives.

>>736998839YOU CANNOT STOP ME! AH, AH, AH!

>>736999516Witcher sucksIts way better that it’s not that too
Why isnt marathon selling like cd bros...
>>736999516CEO says they focused too much on gameplay instead and apologized for the shitty story. It is what it is. Maybe they'll fix it one day (but I doubt it)
DRAGON DOGSHITMA BROS THEY'RE LAUGHING AT US
>>736999570>It does.Purposefully lying or coping? The devs themselves have said it had no story
Marathon bros I don't feel so good...
>>736998839GREYMANES OR BATTLEBORN
>>736999819>>736999763Obsessed.Critics will nominate Marathon as GOTY btw. Meanwhile this shit will be forgotten.
>>736999798No? You can argue about whether it's any good or not, but it is a rather story heavy game. Access to side quests and large parts of the map are literally tied to story progress. There are 12 Chapters worth of it. It's not fucking Minecraft or modern Zelda.
>>736998941game?
>>736999798They have very explicitly never said this
>>736999783No, he didn’t
>>736999895Baldurs gate 3
>>736999007There is no open world exploration game with a good story.
>>736999850Holy moly the GOTY award!!1 I'm so glad I'm still a 12-year old child who can't think for myself and honestly thinks this means something! I'm sure that award will definitely help prevent Bungie for facing massive layoffs soon!Marathon won!
>>736999570>It's not Chinese.It's Korean, which is like second rate Chinese
>>7369999463/10 made me reply
>>736999850LmaoYou’re funny
>>736999946... is not American.
>>736999969More like there is no open world exploration game with good exploration
>>736999995He's half right. This game is the highest order of low effort slop and will not be remembered. Twenty years from now people will still be talking about Elden Ring, but nobody will know what the fuck a Crimson Desert is.
>>736999946Elden Ring shits on it
This game selling mode than KCD/KCD2 is kind of a punch in the face no?Shows people prefer freedom and randomness more than a well crafted world, narrative and characters
>>737000014Spider man 2
>>737000000
>>737000042Why the fuck would I care what normalniggers remember in 20 years?I already mostly play games (you) have never heard of, because you lack taste
>>737000042Elden Ring is a chud gameIt’s ours, not yours.Elden Ring Bros and Crimson Desert Chads are on the same side.
>>737000050Good.KCD2 cucked out.
>just enjoying the game having fun>YOU FOOL THE GAME WONT EVEN BE REMEMBERED 20 YEARS FROM NOW welp fun ruined I guess
Some anon told me it wouldn't even reach 4 million.I hope he eats shit.
Do we think itll hit 6m next month?
weird, 10 years ago, AAA doing less than 7millions were considered failure ready for cancellation.
>>737000346Lmao you’re just making shit up now
>>736999783Seething Koreans are pretty powerful. Look at what happened with CZN
Remember that troons, journos and western devs are on suicide watch as american live service trash keeps bombing
still not buying
>>736998839>black desert but we stripped all the cool classes and magic>you now wrestle people like a fucking pleb>can't even make your own character, you have to play as the dullest main character in the historyI would genuinely play this game if it was an offline black desert
>>736998839It took that long after 4m? The sales for this game absolutely nosedived, holy shit.
>>736998839jews lostpearl abyss won >>737000000
>>737000486Troon here, I'm making a single player game :3
>>736999783PA completely reworked bdo's first act story (the entire western continent) from the ground up following their successful notkorea region years ago, kind of like their ARR. I'm talking new cutscenes, illustrations, voice acting, so it's possible they would do the same
>>736998839>take terrible mmo>remove all the hot women>pay griftubers to say this somehow makes it anti woke>jeet/v/ will spam it as the savior of the white race
meanwhile I'm still in hernand looking at fucking walls to figure out puzzles lmao
>>737000726What's it about?
>>7369988395M for a multiplat stopped being impressive in 2005
>>736998839troons btfo
>>736998839>>736998929still not enough to make a profit
>>736999937He literally did. >“I partially empathize with the disappointment users feel regarding the story. I believe it would have been better if we could have handled it better… The development team tried to fill in the gaps in the remaining time, but ultimately, we focused on strengthening the gameplay, which is what we do best."
>>737000682pearl abyss is still jews you fucking retard
>>737000045Elden Ring is not an RPG and have literally and unironically worse RPG mechanics compared to BG3. Fuck sake you don't even have basic physics in ER.
>>737000949>133mNigger that woudl be just marketing budget aloneThis shit was shilled insanely hard, almost diablo 4 level. There were ads for it everywhere
>>737001090Physics are my favorite RPG elements
Americucks literally just coming up with random head canons now.Korean won. You lost.Enjoy the layoffs.
>>737000949>>737001080oh nice, they made a profit of a couple thousand dollars
>>737001090damn, the brocoli heads have no clue about what RPG meants these days it's sad as fuck.
>>737001119posting takes 10 fucking years, blame hiroshima
>>737001179>I love ads being blasted in my face!ok
>>736998839Hell yeah... Dirty American and Japanese pig dogs your stranglehold on video games is over.
>>737001014He said it could have been better and could have used some more connective tissue. Which is true. But the story's still good. It's still got more going for it than that in your average Bethesda or Ubisoft game, even if it falls short of something like a CD Projekt game.
>>737001335
>>736999850It will be remembered when Skyrim 2 comes out and people question why a game from 2026 blows something from 2029 out of the water gameplay, visuals and story wise
>>737000343Maybe, especially with all the engoodening the devs have been cranking out. They'd do well to add that character creator everyone's been wailing about, tho it would obviously require female voice lines recorded.
>>736998839Marathon won (it appeared to me in a dream)
>>737000726Don't make anything in the game "troon coded". I know some of you queers have game development talent, but you let your trannydom leak into the project. Sometimes covertly, and sometimes overtly. For example, in the case of Ultrakill, they started flaunting faggotry and troon devs after the EA had been out for a while. In the case of Freedom Planet, I could somehow tell that trannies were involved just by sitting through the cutscenes. Instantly verified my gut feeling by looking up the developer.
>>736999315"game he doesn't like from a market the asian market he is shilling for is hostile towards"
>>736998987>file.png>rentfree about some slopEverytime. Rangeban sea.
>SEAcuck and gook shitposters malding because everyone figured out their gimmick finally
the best thing you can say about the game is that the devs actually listen to complaints and want to fix as much of the bad shit as possible, but go to the steam forums and you'll see every second apenigger who bought the game at launch whining about getting an optional easy mode and quality of life updates as if their gamer cred is at risk over it, makes me really wonder what kind of turbofaggots genuinely enjoy itthe second best thing is that it's a VERY good game to have friends with, moreso than other shit games since there's so much shit you can show off and be flabbergasted by
>>737001826Steam forums are just for baiting for steam point awardsIt's also getting a hard mode so it doesn't make any sense at all
>>737001401>skyrim 2>2029TES6 is going to completely miss the 2020s, mark my words.
>>737001985they're also a source for automaton to use in their articles, being the repudiated news source that they are
>>736998839I bpught into the stupid hype, the game is deffinetly a 7/10 tops, and even that score is mainly for the graphics.Fuck you internet.
>>737001826>what kind of turbofaggots genuinely enjoy itretarded monkeys that enjoy Ass Creed
>>737001992it will have a release date announced in the 20s which will be delayed until the 30s
>>737001319Nobody that's beaten the game actually believes this. What narrative purpose does sky greymane serve?
>>7370020727/10's aren't that bad. Dragons dogma is another great example of a 7/10 that's worth playing.
I hated this game but now that I know it sold well, I like itI'm so glad they made this announcement
>>737002449Thing is I don't usually spend fucking 70€ on a 7/10 vidya. I play them a few hours on gamepass and that's it. I literally threw away money, because I sure as am not going to throw my time also on this mediocre crap.
>>737002756That's why you shouldn't preorder games dumb dumb.
>>737002072>>737002756Why are you in every CD thread now? No one cares that you are a fucking retard who feels buyer's remorse.
>>737002838I didn't. I bought the game on Sunday. I'm literally playing my ps2 backlog over it. Except pretty vistas, nothing is pulling me to turn it on.
>>737002072>>7370024497/10 is an objectively good game with some relatively minor flaws overall. 7/10 is recommended to most people DESPITE the genre preference. 8/10 is a fantastic game that should be played by all people who play vidya.9/10 are pinnacles of the medium and are exceedingly rare. No nostalgia boosted can be a 9/10 btw. 10/10 doesn't fucking exist.Most games are 5-6/10 discussed and played by nerds or a specific type of people specifically interested in the genre or the subject matter of that game.We got our perceptions fucked because of animals like IGN giving out 8/10 scores to utter garbage which isn't worth rating.>>737002756Pricing adds another dimension in scoring, especially in this economy. Almost no modern game is worth more than 60 yuros, especially at launch.I bought NG4 and despite loving it and being really into the genre I'd struggle recommending it, together with DLC, for anything more than 50 yuros even if you like the genre.
I love seeing everyone brag about how they're 100 hours into the game and haven't left Hernand when that part is the only piece that felt finishedFucking hate these open world games boasting 300 hours of content when it gets boring as shit at hour 120.
>>737003001>why are you stopping other anons from making the same mistakekys kid
>>736998839/v/ BTFO
>>736998941Too bad the gameplay in all these gatcha shit games is absolute garbage. Just goon to the cutscenes.
>>737000819Most of those are multiplat and legendary flop games like Star Wars Outlaws have tremendous amounts of money thrown into them, but yeah the big secret about how much money actually gets sunk into these big eastern releases despite what the studios report is out /v/'s regular asian shills getting increasingly upset about the United States now that the IRGC is in tatters is pretty funny though
>>737003152If you bought the game on Sunday, you have literally had the opportunity to look up thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of raw gameplay, all reviews from both journalists, youtubers, Steam reviews, and could have read all the threads on /v/ to figure out if you would like the game or not.You made a bad decision because you were willingly being an uninformed moron. Stop coming to these threads, no one is going to give you pity points and a highfive for being a retarded moron.
>>737003287>IRGC is in tatters ?Pool is closed, mutt. Endless humiliation ritual awaits your generation.
>>737003476You're a few AI generated video clips behind m8
>>737003337My only fault was being tricked i to believing nu/v/ and the rest of the internet gaymer community is something else than a bunch of pleb kids. Literal legacy reviewers have better taste in vidya than you. Let that sink in.
>>737003558>it wasn't MY fault that I was an uninformed moron it was everyone else's fault
>>737003641I'm not saying that you illiterate retard. No wonder you're amazed by CD.
>>737003737>he's STILL staying in a thread about a game that he doesn't like
>>737003805To be fair, this is really a thread dedicated to mocking /v/'s asian shitposters
Yeah this thread is nothing but shitskin turd worlders glazing the latest gook slop shit talking western and japanese games, and now they're posting about America vs Iran lmao
>>737003973They've been doing that all week. I get it because they live in a part of the world pretty much completely at the USA's mercy so it impacts them personally. I just don't feel too bad about it because they're retarded and they deserve it
>>737004156You mean like the two asian studios that died days apart from each other kek
>>737003973>shit talking western and japanese gamesNah, that's falseflagging. Japanese games are still the best.Westranny slop though? Doesn't even deserve to be in the same sentence. Seethe, jew.
/v/ told me it flopped!! Why did /v/ lie to me?
>>736999516>Korean game>Story is barebones>Dev's say, "we'll improve next time, teehee"Second time now, SB was first
>>737004185QRD?
>>736998839These devs fucked up by now releasing mod tools. Now it will be forgotten in a year while Skyrim is still popular.
>>737004393The story's not barebones, it's just a bit messy.
Does anyone else burst out laughing anytime Kliff says "Yis." with the recycled voice line. Is he the first autist giga chad MC we've ever had in a game?>Walks up>Refuses to introduce himself (multiple times when people introduce themselves, he just stands there staring at them)>bla bla bla yap yap yap Greymane would you yap yap bla bla kill this person / grab this thing / investigate this / get me an apple>Yes>Leaves>Optional: Goes Dante-Cutscene mode on random people and brutally murders them
>>737004393Stellar Blade had a decent final act of the story but yeah the Asian standards for narrative are very different from most other places
>>736998839How many copies an AAA game must sell today for make money?
You're not supposed to like this game chuds. Look at this AI controversy that I'm bringing up 3 weeks after launch that was like 2 posters that were changed. Also please play Marathon, a game that literally stole its artstyle from a troon
>>736998839So they basically pulled a Cyberpunk just 9000 times faster?
>>737004667eat that AIslop like a good goy
>>737003614i wonder how fucked your asian shithole's economy is right now now that america and iran are blocking oilhopefully it gets worse and they cut your internet to save on fuel and energy costs
>>737004702both games are still shit so yeah I guess
>>737004573>Does anyone else burst out laughing anytime Kliff says "Yis." with the recycled voice line. >Is he the first autist giga chad MC we've ever had in a game?No, there's also Venom Snake and Sam from Death Stranding. Who I'm pretty sure served as the inspiration for Kliff's autism to some extent.
>>737004636If the publisher brags about numbers, is a clear signal the game has broken even and made profit. For example, SE bragged about FFXVI selling 4 millions which means that piece of shit did make profit after all...but they NEVER made a single post about FFVII REBIRTH sales...
>>737004702No? Cyberpunk was nearly unplayable at launch and needed over a year of patches, Crimson desert just got some QoL fixes(that should had been there from the start sure)
>>737004739They're probably realistically afraid that's going to happen and the rest of the world won't unite against orange man to save them
>>737004573Either he is just that autistic or the entire civilization there is made up of dumb nigger who somehow is capable of building complex machinery from magic and shit.
>>737004739>got raped so hard he's pretending he's the one blocking the strait now>while the orange child rapist is kvetching "OPEN LE STRAIT I ALLAH"LMAOYou are buck broken. Get off the fent and get bent, the pool(s) are closed. Go circle Africa and praise allah some more, cuck.
>>737004636Depends on the budget and Greed of the publisher sometimes 2-3 is great other times you nee 10 mil +
>>736999263>Kingdom Come Deliverance 2>Astro BotThat's a shame. Great games.
>>737004573I always laugh when stuff like this plays out:>meet NPC>she's crying and sobbing>goes on a long rant about how terrible everything is>she's poor, she lost her husband, her crops turned bad, her son has been kidnapped, etc.>in the end she's like "will you please help me?">and Kliff just goes "alright" and nothing else
>>737000819Youre retarded. Crimson Desert had budget of 130million with engine. Majority of titles listed are on par or more expensive even shit like Metroid 4 due to long development hell reached 100m+.
>>737005036>literally just making numbers up The Asian shill special
>>737004941your economy is fuckedenjoy having no electricity in a few weeks time you subhuman SEAgroid
>>737004796I forgot about fucking Venom >CQCs you>doesn't listen to your long monologue, just sits staring blankly>screams ROCKET PUNCH
>>736999915a shitty game. don't waste your time. just enjoy the video
Wait is this game a solo offline game or some MMO-ish thing like Where Winds Meet?
>>737005217The main difference is this game rips off mechanics wholesale from Zelda
>>737005087Its based on investors calls you braindead jeet.
>>737005217It's a single player game.
>>736999263>premium gamesThe fuck is that?Also kind of pathetic to add astro bot
>>737005319Making up numbers and lying about them is an extremely brown thing to do A week ago you were saying this game sold 5 million copies in 2 weeks Lying shills should get the rope
>>737004989Not really a shameBoth of them combined have a smaller budget than CD
>>737003558>shilling for journos>>737004739The chinkshills been sneeding and seething the last few days over on /k/. They're probably a lot more fucked then we think.
>>737000986lmao ask me how I know you have no idea what this game's budget was. Literally lower than ANY western AAA game. You lost tranny.
>Mention CD being successful >Maratroon has a mental breakdown It's just too easy
>>737005387He just picked a bunch of western and Japanese games that were very well received and threw them in a blender with ubislop because he's mad America is buttfucking his country's economy
>>736998839The fact that this game, despite all its faults and shortcomings, has been so successful, is ironclad proof that the people YEARN for fantasy action/adventure/aRPG games that aren't Soulslikes.I hope and pray other devs take note so we can get more games in the same vein, cause right now its just CD and DD2. We need more.
>>737005267Zelda ripped mechanics from SoTC
>>737005420Having melty about CD is a trooncel behaviour.
>>737005497Rhode island should fund another Kingdoms of Amalur Nothing that game would go numbers today
>>737005267Speaking of Zelda/Japanese games, why does /v/ call this game a massive success at 5 million sales while games like MH Wilds and TotK are called failures at over 10 million?
>>737000726If not bait, /v def is the place to have your dreams shot down
Why did Crimson Desert succeed while marathon flopped?
>>737005570New IP vs Established IP's.
>>737005570>while games like MH Wilds and TotK are called failures at over 10 million?It has everything to do with expectations of sales and previous installments too. MH Worlds sold +25 million copies, so MH Wilds selling 10 million copies is obviously a failure. BotW sold 35 million copies, so TotK selling 20 million copies is obviously a failure.
>>736999516I really don't understand this need for a story some people have.I've played hundreds of video games in my life and I can count those that had a good story with one hand.As long as the game is fun I truly do not give a shit
>>737005625You must be very low iq
>>737005570It's just another effort to make it look like asian devs are better at budgeting than western devs when Shift Up is about to kill themselves with a new gacha game, chink devs are voicing concerns about market saturation for the types of games they make, the Wuchang dev fell apart, China lied upfront about how much money they spent on deepseek, etc.
Japbros... what now?
>>737000050> Shows people prefer freedom and randomness more than a well crafted world, narrative and charactersThey always have. No one gives a fuck about some fag writer and his gay story. Thats what books are for, not video games.
>the shitskin CDshills are actually seething and reporting peopleLMAOhow pathetic
This game has all but stagnated now. You won't be hearing million milestones reached anytime soon. This was pre release hype sales. Gonna be awful hearing people bitch at the end of the year when it's not nominated for any awards. Jack of all trades, the master of none kinda game.>>737005740This game will never reach 10 or 20 million.
>>737005807Keep laughing at third worlders trying to explain why their games are actually financial failures at millions of copies sold with no proof
>>737005767>I really don't understand this need for a story some people have.There's a whole generation of nu-gamers who have literally only played heavily story-driven video games. Just look at all the people who have only owned a PS4 + PS5 as their only way of playing video games.
>>736998941BASED
>>737000726Please out yourself and the game so we can begin the discord raid shitting on it early.
>>737005857It barely even reached 5(assuming they aren't lying).
>>737005857You are severely mentally ill. Find something better to do with your time.
The reason why these threads have less activity than a lot of other sales threads is because everyone stopped feeling threatened by asian devs ripping off superior jp devs awhile ago
>>737005516It's the bg3 schizo trying to find a new target. He tried doing this with silksong
>>736998839Asscreed shadows couldn't do this by the way. Guess cucks and trannies don't buy games
>>737005420get your meds retard anon, a simple google can show you that you're wrong. https://nordic.ign.com/crimson-desert/105795/news/crimson-desert-estimated-to-have-made-over-200-million-already-and-ps5-is-a-big-contributor>According to the Korean business press, Pearl Abyss reportedly spent seven years making Crimson Desert, with development costs coming in at 200 billion won (approx. $133 million).
>>737005101In just 2 weeks shitmutts will defeat Iran and stop shooting fent.
>>736999007Nigger go read a book
>>737006018or it could be from the site shitting itself the other day and posting/captchas taking an extra 30-60 seconds to load or post
>>737006052>dev costs only KekAnd now show your source for your metroid prime 4 Yeah that's what I thoughtEnjoy the gas chamber
>>736999783>>736999516Fuck off storyniggersIts all abput the gameplay go read a book(vn)
>>737006018Why are castrated golems wewuzing Japanese devs anyway? Just because your parasitic localizers and tranny consultants are trying to infiltrate Japanese studios doesn't mean you're in the same league lolDilate in silence, cuckboy.
>>737006052>Pearl Abyss reportedly spent seven years making Crimson Desert, with development costs coming in at 200 billion won (approx. $133 million)If this number includes the previous iterations of the game, including when it was meant to be an MMO, then they could have probably made CD from scratch in only 4-5 years and for less than $100 million. That's fucking wild to think about, when directly compared to western AAA games of similar size/scope.
>>737006119Don't samefag so quickly, yellow turd
>>737006119is this really how you want to spend your remaining days on the internet until your cuntries fuel shortages cause rolling blackouts and cuts the electricity in your slum
>>737006052They dont or cant comprehend how fucked budgets are when you develop games in US or Canada. Publishers were taking losses for 20 years due to talent in these countries but nowadays bunch of euros or chinks can make same quality shit but twice cheaper. Theres a reason why kosher publishers like Activision is opening studios in Poland and other euro countries or even asian ones like indonesia. Why the fuck would you open a studio in US nowadays its geniuenly pointless due to talent not being there anymore and insanely inflated wages which translates to balooning budgets.
>>737005767Its one of those really low effort criticisms people can make and clamor around without any real thought because its entirely subjective. Its just a rhetorical trick. No one actually gives a fuck about stories in games other than the faggots who write them and want everyone to think they’re geniuses for their dogshit writing skills.
>>736999783>>736999516Fuck off storyniggersIts all about the gameplay go read a book(vn)
Test
>>736999183I always take the premise of the game as how Gandalf and kpop witch demanded of me. Do good, help others. It just so happens that while doing the needful you encounter some batshit insane stuff you don't really give a shit about, but you still have to help them anyway because you made a promise.
>>737006186It's not that wild They already a lot of experience from BDOSkyrim TW3And both KCDs combined has a budget smaller than 100 mil100 mil go really far unless you a retarded studio making Gaas shit for sony
>>737006186>previous iterations of the game, including when it was meant to be an MMOThat decision changed literally in the first few months of preproduction.
>>737006278>entire personality is comprised of nonwhite propaganda Kek
>>736998839Dragons Dogma only had 3 million after 2 years. All this says to me is that the Korean market is bigger than people thought, Wukong only sold as much as it did because it was bought buy the Chinese market for example, not to say it didnt sell elsewhere bit thats how big that market is, a lot of other games just dont reach them.Korea usually just makes MMOs as their most notable games, Stellar Blade and this are proof that Japan needs to step it up.(Id say the west too but they stopped even trying)
>>737006313>people still believe that retarded rumor how KCD2 had same budget as first game Simple inflation adjust will show thats not true. WarHorse got bought by Embracer and due to investment opened second office and straight up doubled its headcount during its development. These two things are something you can freely google and are confirmed facts and make "same budget" claims completly obsolete. Its just like with Ghost of Yotei apparently having same budget as first game despite a fact how SuckerPunch went from 160 to 240 employees during its development and how it started production during peak COVID and such meanwhile people believe these retarded numbers that do not make any sense whatsoever.
>>737006382Please never compare dragon dogshitma to crimson desert again
>>737006382>Wukong only sold as much as itWukong sold 20 million units in the first month. 3 million was outside of China.
>>737006475KCD1 was made from the ground up.With KCD2, most of the R&D was already figured out, so it was mainly a matter of polishing and creating more content.Coupled with the claim that it recovered its production budget on day one after selling 1 million copies (roughly $42 million), this also checks out.Well, you could argue that all of it was a lie, but then why should we trust or estimate anything from any studio?
>>737006537Over 30% of total sales were outside of China (at this time over 8 million)
>>737006382Its insane how first player impressions absolutely smoked long term sales of both DD2 and MH Wilds for Capcom. Sales of both completly fucking flatlined after initial month holy shit.
>>737006486But it's literally dragons dogma 3 (with some two worlds sprinkled in)
>>737006486>>737006654CD is nothing like DD
>>737000050KCD2 story is dog shit and it's sense of progression in terms of gameplay is also terrible. Side quests were whatever too. After you beat whatever knight you see, you can then steamroll every single fight. Then you get to the second map and half way through the game you can fix your father's sword and get the best sword in the game. Shits fucked
>>737006607>With KCD2, most of the R&D was already figured out, so it was mainly a matter of polishing and creating more content.That still doesnt explain how despite doubling headcount somehow magically budget managed to remain the same. Thats just impossible from mathematical standpoint unless new workers werent paid at all lol. I love KCD2 but I dont believe these claims period. If they're true then good for studio and Embracer since these fags need it, i really Iike THQ Nordic and Deep Silver since they're one of last bastions of proper AA/lower AAA scale projects and more experimental titles.
>>737006486Why. If DD had the scale and ambition of CD it wouldve been a household name, now the only people interested in DD are major copium drinkers. The games are comparible in that they are open world action RPGs.Youve seen the best of DD, and it was the first game. Its not going to get bigger and find its footing etc and get a bunch of sequels and expansions, youve seen all it has to offer Capcom has no ambition with it. CD will go on because of this success, all they have to do is drop their Black Desert character creator on a sequel and its trounced DD utterly, and DD will forever stand as a monument to why you should never fall in love with potential. It couldve been great, buit it wasnt, so it isnt.
>>736998839>5millAs if that's worth mentioning in today's ultra consumerist world.Palworld sold 30 million copies. The game is still dogshit in my eyes and I regret my 10 hours playing it.
>>736998839Amazing number for a mediocre game.
>>737006819Well game development is a little more complicated than just headcount X yearsBecause you have a lot of people on different contracts, and far fewer people working during early pre productionIt’s not uncommon to hear that studios finish all the voice acting and some other parts just a few months before release.KCD1 had a budget of around $36 million.$45 million for KCD2 makes sense maybe a little more than that, but I doubt it was over $60 million
>>737005767It's a zoomer thing, most of them don't play games outside of F2P shit because they're too poor for anything else, so the only way they can experience paid games is via streamers, and watching a streamer play a game without a story that they're interested in bored them.
>>737006860You regret it, anon? You're feeling regret?
>>737006818>>737000050KCD is a grounded game that is, by design, less broadly appealing than something like CD. Think about it yourselfwhat’s going to appeal more getting drunk from saving potions and smelling bad, which prevents you from sneaking around, or flashy wrestling moves and a tree slingshot? No matter how well something is made, audience pools are still a thing
>>736998839I think it would have done 10m by now if the game was as good as the hype was. 5m is still good for them tho. Hope fully they dont fuck up dokev. Thats the one i really want to play
>>737005807Keep making gamesCongrats to the Korea bros
>>737007138The game is weird. I'm thinking it's genuinely quite average but the hype from being the right genre at the right time saw it through.
>>737008308Hooking up with 72 chickens in Vietnam
The anti-shill campaign against CD from discooms and western dev/journalist is fucking funny. The worm keep squirming as they cries in their non optimised UE5 slop. The counter dragon dogma posters are quite pitiful too kek
>>737008308Did more damage to kikes than any other cuck retard
>>737008381At least you admitted to shilling
>>737008381Do you nigga really expect everyone on /v/ to get on their knees and suck off CD because it's a non woke open world game?
>>737008639Yes because he wants an anti-jap anti-US coalition even though it's never going to happen
>>737006638It's the double whammy of the poor initial state making it hard to justify buying at full price, plus the understanding that a release flop means much lower likelihood of meaningful post-release content additions and support beyond basic performance optimization.

>Bharat has 1.4 billion people>Only 5 million Gotta shill harder than that, jeets.
>>737009275The sheer agression with this game's viral marketing has trained me to never even try it for free.No game of real quality has people defend it in the manner these pajeets do.
i had fun for the first 10h of the game, then next 20h were miserable as fuck full of shitty quests and retarded boss fights with extreme input lag that was making me seethe, but now im almost 40h into the game and it's being fun as fuck again, they must have improved input lag issue because it's not as bad nowtwo questions: where do i get a good sword? or am i supposed to just upgrade that default sword and other random sword until i get something better in other areas? im currently wielding two +4 swords, it's good for fodder enemies in hernand area, but in other locations enemies are pretty toughand how do i unlock elemental abilities from skill tree?
>>737009275>It's marketing if I don't like it.

>>737009537For weapons they are all very similar you either want one with high base atk or high base crit depending on your build then it all comes down to appearance since you can remove the cores and swap them around for free. You get the elemental abilities from doing abyss puzzles the earliest one is the abyss section you do at the university as part of the main quest if you keep going in that section of the abyss you will get the lightning ability but you’ll need focus shot to do the last section of puzzles

Nice to see, I've personally enjoyed the game thus far, it scratches that Dragon's Dogma itch I've had a little bit, even if it is dragged down by the shitty RDR movement when it should have just been snappy and immediate given its combat systems.

>>737013965>muh leftoidsKeep eating each other, mutt

>>737014047My honest and obviously biased opinion. This game doesn’t hold your hand for shit, and it’s one of the main things I live about it. Cons:Story is kinda optional, if you are big narrative driven gamer you are not gonna like it.If you just mainline story or side missions probably won’t be fun for you.If you are autist and try to do all the challenges will frustrate you.Controls are weird and could have been done better, but are workable.The indoor lighting is pretty ugly and weird transition from inside outside areas.Some of the puzzles are shit, did the right thing but don’t complete due to some jank (Buddhist arms)The Pro’sGame makes you experimentNo yellow paint, no faggot nigger or DEI shitMC is quasi non-verbal autistExploration and world are easy to get lost in and very enjoyable. Gotten lost for hours cause saw something interesting in route to some minor quest.Combat is as fun as you make it, people still finding new combos and moves.Style over stats, unless hardcore minmaxxer get that drip.Devs that actually listen to player feedback and add requested shit.In closing if you just want to get lost in a virtual world, suplex and abuse the taxman everytime you see him you will enjoy it.If you are looking for a thrilling narrative story or just rush through to the end of main mission story line you probably won’t.
>>737000129This is very true.Elden Ring is the only game I have ever got the platinum for. I can see myself doing that for Crimson Desert as well.

>>7369989295 million sales for recycling assets they already made for their mmo / gacha. I hope more gook gaming developers keep doing this sort of thing.
>>737015321why do people act like reusing assets is bad? i'm excited every time i see Kamurocho, personally.
>>737015321It's a great model. Milk MTX paypigs for 200 gorillion dollars, then repackage the gacha/mmo into a good normal game and double-dip, funded by some of the MTX earnings.
>>737015549i'm all for it. never played BDO, never played Nikke, but Crimson Desert and Stellar Blade are fucking kino of the highest order.
I think it's based how terribly based how mad this game makes coomtrannies
>>737015549Unironically I'm starting to believe. Ocotpath Travel 0 was pretty much that, and it's hands down the best OT game. Now CD? The Granblue Fantasy single player action RPG was also pretty fun (just too short). Maybe gacha aren't so evil after all if the devs are using it for this.

>>736998839isn't it interesting how when they release a good game, companies will tell you how many copies were sold? But when they release a bad one, they'll instead talk about how many players it supposedly has, or how it was the most popular PS5 digital launch in former Yugoslavian territories this week and other pointless over qualified statements.
so is this piece of shit website fixed yet or what
>>737028878Pretty much the same complain i have>if you liberate all the forts and shit you have nothing to do post gameMore like if you rushing the main quest. Forts in Delysia can't be conquered so you technically can have infinite combat content as long as you don't progress the main quest. Same with Demeniss.
250h in and finished Chp7The kino keeps being kino. I kinda like Oongka but he definitely needs heavy stat investment
I still haven't bought it yet. Is it worth waiting another month or two, or have they fixed the game to a good standard?

>>737030235>fixed>he fell for the psyop that the game was ever badLMAOthe game was kino from the moment it launched even if it never got a single update.
5 million people wanted slop.This isn't a good thing for games, but it is a great thing for devs going forward because they won't have to put in any effort whatsoever, just let the AI shit something out and sit back to see the money roll in. Just when you thought the Blackrock DEI troonshit and endless Concords was the worst gaming was ever gonna be, here comes the first of the endless waves of offline MMO's.
>>737030539you lost and got raped, buckbroken western industry shill trannoid. raped and fucking gaped. it's time to pack it up and impotently attempt to make another great game fail.
>>737030539I bet you drool over the thought of crowbcat making a video on it, dontcha?
>>737030539so true, xister! so which kart racer are we playing tonight, Mario or Kirby?
>>736998839Fucking give more outfits for Damiane you fucks
>>737030391Disagree. I probably would have quit this game 50h without the private storage update. There's just so much shit that doesn't stack and hogs inventory space.
>>737030539So you even know what "slop" is? Go play fucking Roblox if you want "slop". Crimson Desert is a game that a lot of talent and hard work went into. A bunch of random MMO devs went and made a game that can compete with Rockstar's and CD Projekts's releases on their first try. That's impressive as hell. I hope they'll land a double whammy with DokeV.
>>737030575On the contrary, I'm neither playing it, paying for it OR shilling for it for free like you. I'm the winner, you're a slave. You lost for life. And your concession is only accepted because I do feel bad for you.
>>737030539Hey, at least you've got the last fag; that is before it EoS's in a few weeks.
>>737030715ok i forgot about the inventory part, i'll concede there >>737030739you LOST and got RAPED, kekaroo!
>>737030730This is the very definition of slop, meaningless shit you can do near endlessly and with barely any human involvement. It's perfectly fine to love slop like you do (lots of people love gacha, too), you just need to be honest about it.
It's wild that this game outsold Starfield in like a month.
>>737030802>This is the very definition of slop, meaningless shit you can do near endlessly and with barely any human involvement. What do you mean "barely any human involvement"? What do you think the developers have been doing these past six years, twiddling their thumbs and jerking off? Do you think the game just made itself? Don't get me wrong, there are way too many filler fetch quests when it comes to the side content (and even those have full voice acting) but the main quests, abyss puzzles, boss fights, the world itself, hell, the amount of lore that's in the glossary and the Visione memories alone, that shit wasn't just procedurally generated, that took a lot of people a lot of hard work. And that's not even getting into how much of it probably went into the custom engine alone.
>>737030858>it's wild that a great game outsold a piece of shitno it isn't

>>737030986you are replying to a tendie who can't play the game even though he wants to.
>>736998839>fun game that isn't woke >makes fun of jews>/v/ hates itwhat the fuck happened to this board?
>>737030987I mean it is. Starfield was made by a studio that made one of the best selling and most beloved games of all time, it should have sold more on brand recognition alone. Conversely, this was made by some Korean literal who company.
>>737031329>it should have sold more on brand recognition alone.It might of if it launched not long after Fallout 4. Instead, Starfield launched 12 years after Skyrim and 8 years after Fallout 4.
>finish game>you should go to the crimson desert and explore!>think this means ill be able to access blocked regions>it doesnt>already explored all the worldwelp

>>737030730>A bunch of random MMO devs went and made a game that can compete with Rockstar's and CD Projekts's releases on their first tryIt competes with ubisoft games and shadow of war games but let's not get carried away
>>737031714We're not. Rockstar hasn't made a game that's actually fun to play in twenty years. CDPR never has.
>>737004989that looks really barren, generic and boring tbqhno wonder snoys have to hype it up without playing it in the first place
>>737031714it doesn't just compete with Cuckstar and CuckDPR, it MOGS them into the fucking dirt anon

I'm still not buying it
>>737031329>on brand recognition alone HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what are fucking retarded take, as if anyone in 2026 consumes products especially video games in this way, brother its not 1980 get a fucking grip you stupid fuck jesus christ everyone has a phone with a connection and is terminally online the age of mindless consumerism based on brand recognition alone are fucking dead you dolt get with the times old man holy fuck.
>>737032713>he says as pokemon and other tendie slop still sells millionsLol
>>737000050more like people prefer a straight protagonist
>>737032762exceptions not the rule, pokemon is a cultural icon that is not the win you think, by and large people do not consume this way, and even pokemon is only being kept going by parents buying for their kids, the age group is what is driving the sales in that example and you it.
>>737000986hahah seething retard copeUMA DELICIOUS
>>737000986even if this were true (it's not), how would this affect my enjoyment of the game? (trick question: it wouldn't)
>>737031150>k*r**nNo thanks. I'd rather not do MMO fetch quests in a single player game.
>>737000986>>737001156>>737005857>This game will never reach 10 or 20 million.What kind of level of new cope is thise.
Japan lost.
>>737033515GOTY releases in 21.25 hours.
>>737033585PRAGMATA It's a game about and for children
>>737034040>plays Pokemon, Mario, and Zelda>but Pragmata is for kids
>>737033585i already have a daughter so i can wait til denuvo gets removed
>>737034919I won't play a game after Denuvo gets removed. It's like getting rid of the seal of approval.
>>737035026I'm not even opposed to it because of denuvo, I happily bought CD, I'm just not paying $60 for a 10 hour game like a retard
>>737032778Then why did you pick the gay romance option
Pragmata will have 160k peak
>>737033585kek no
>>737005769Answer the question tranny
>>737032713Damn, this is a great example of someone terminally online who thinks everybody is like him.Brand recognition is the NUMBER ONE aspect in selling media now. Hollywood isn't producing 85% sequels, remakes or reboots because they're bored. People don't have time to go out artistically researching entertainment so they gravitate to things they liked before as a safe bet. This is the biggest and most noticeable change to how media is being purchased in the last 50 years and you've somehow completely missed this massive cultural trend because you think everybody else in the world is obsessed with IGN, Metacritic or whoever. Here's a fun fact for you, almost nobody actually bothers to look up Metacritic scores or read reviews before purchasing games.Some might glance at the Steam rating overview if theyre on the fence.You're either autistic or incredibly poor to obsessed about this shit
>>737005625Because CD is a good game.
>>736998839That's a lot of chinks and trannies.
This will never be a real game just like korea will never be a real country until reunification
