Can we finally admit expedition 33 was a massive success?
>>737609585Thats 2 months revenue for FF14. I hate the fact the industry has gone this way, I loved E33, but 8 million wont inspire anyone at the top.
>>737609585Sorry OP your fotm is no longer relevant, /v/ is Crimson Desert now. Tell your tranny discord to change games, thanks.
sure, i can admit that it was a suck-cess
>>737609838Take my upboat fellow redditor xD
>>737609679Not anymore, nobody is playing Dawntrail.
>>737609679>8 million from a new IP, from a no name studio is bad actually
>>737609585i have been playing this game for 119 hours and i just want it to end already but i dont want to rush through the last area because it seems like theres still a lot of stupid places to explore and gay bosses to kill.
>>737609585>Can we finally admit expedition 33 was an artificial success?
>>737610023>feartue Charlie Sux Cox from the hit TV show Daredevil.Uh huh
>>737609585>8 million copiesMore than all the Stillbirth games put together huh...
>>737611221That's right sister, 8 million bots bought the game!
>>737609585>All these sales>Dead and forgotten after a monthFunny.
>>737609585Of course it was. It was a decent game that got absolutely dick sucked and praised 24/7 to the high heavens that 8 million sold is amazingly modest, considering all that.
>E33 budget: $10m>E33 revenue: $400mPretty impressive for a French game
>>737612231E33 will keep selling forever, lifetime sales will be double that for sure.
>>737612459Not literally forever, but double the sales? I can see that. It's a good game, but lets not kid ourselves that the big journalist hivemind agreed to push this game so incredibly hard, more than it deserved. It was a success on its own merit, but clearly there was an an agenda. What the actual details are, we may never know. But it doesn't take a noooticer to tell.
>>737612361Why do people keep saying it had 10m budget?There were ads for it everywhere. They had two voiceovers, one of them including some extremely famous top tier voice actors. You don't do that shit on a 10m dollar budget.
>>737612747Because the devs themselves said so.The famous top tier actors had an afternoon of work and because they got it on gamepass, microsoft ran the ads.
>>737612820So that makes them not an indie studio. Why did they win the indie award?
>>737612864I guess that disqualifies most indie winners, that are on gamepass.It's more of an indie than>unlimited budget and dev timesilksong.
>>737612941you can't be serious
>>737612941It's a better indie than Hades 2 too.
>>737612972Well, as a matter of fact they had to scrunge for money everywhere, sell the rights to stuff, accept a deal with microsoft and everything else just to release their game, that obviously cut corners.Team cherry? Zero constraints, issues with budget, they could just sit on it indefinitely with zero risk.So yeah, one is more of an indie than the other (e33 in this case)
>>737612215>one brave soldier comes to /v/ from discord and keeps saying "E33 is astroturfed" 24/7>people who don't even know what E33 is or what "astroturfed" means start associating the two things, because they see them every time they refresh the page>"what is the most astroturfed game?">"well, I guess E33 or whatever, note to self, by the way: check what astroturfed means"And I'm giving you the benefit of doubt by convincing myself that those 230 votes aren't by 5 people.
>>737613089The best part is that the start of the dicksucking was happening on offshoot sites while /v/ was down.It was sheer contrarianism because people only turned on it when it got popular (and this board still loves it anyway)
Maelletroons lost btw
>>737613038>the 10m dollar UE5 game with a publisher and microsoft deal is more of an indie than the self published platformer by three peopleI don't get why expeditionfags choose to be this delusionalYou can like a game, but also admit that it's not a fucking indie by any means
