Comparing a game demo that just recently released, to a game that has been a free Demo since 2025 January

Cooking the numbers much? Shame on you anon!
>>
>>2432375
recent release date means nothing here. all time peak is 15x the other.
>>
>>2431918
player count is irrelevant if a title is singleplayer
also even blizzard admitted 85% of the starcraft 2 playerbase never touched mp, competitive has always been a loud minority

I'm interested in both of those games but I'm not gonna download a 50gb demo just to play it for a week
>>
Honestly Dust Front looked like "It will never come out" game but it actually has a demo. Is it good?
>>
>>2433072
It's fun. I'm definitely gonna buy it once it comes out
>>
1 dev selling few thousand copies settles him financially enough to make a new game or plan life otherwise. Megablob AAA lays off people in the meantime.

There is no issue.

copiously samefaced

I think I'm gonna buy the game twice now

not sure if you or I are having the stroke but Germanic although its close
>>
>>2431918
roll the dice on either
>it comes out in early access next month
>demo is 50 (fifty) goddamn GB (gigabytes)
>people have already tried the playtest last year
>people already branded it as discount StarCraft 2 so they didn't bother with it
>>

The games industry still didn't figure out that this is the new meta. Dev teams are too bloated and expensive while having only small incremental improvements on the graphics department.
Smaller scope indie and AA titles is what will survive.

I still remember when GiantCuckGames proclaimed that support powers and superweapons don't belong in RTS games, just for ZeroSales to have them in one of the first showcases, mind you he was still part of the team at the time

ZeroSpace? More like ZeroPlayers.

>"competitive" rts targetting esports
Why do they keep trying to do so when every attempt after SC2 has failed, and even SC2 failed. Only BW (a game from 1998) has endured because of Korean sunk cost.

Still more popular than Stormgape.

This isn't surprising, it looks like 50 other post-2015 RTS. It also looks like it plays like one. People want massive attrition battles that last 45 minute, not 15 minute micro sweatfests.

Compare this to Dust Front which gives players exactly what they want. According to AAA slopdevs, it does everything wrong:
>art direction and atmosphere over readability
>no multiplayer
>long meatgrinder matches and trench warfare
>no LGBTQMAAP++ or screaming niggresses
>in fact the dev is a pro-Z Russian
According to these people Dust Front does EVERYTHING wrong, yet it will likely sell more than ZeroSales and the other 3-4 shitty RTS from AAA people we've seen in the last 5 years (case in point: I don't even remember their names).

This shit looks like a certified slop but grey

HOW. Entire economy is going to shit, people are killing each other for entry level positions and somehow these motherfuckers are flushing millions down the toilet.
>>
>>2436563
The economy is going to shit BECAUSE they're flushing millions away on crap like this.
Massive misallocation of capital without consequence.

Gross mismanagement of money is making the entire global economy with a few exceptions commit suicide basically. Investors will gladly throw hundreds of millions at things promising to become the next Minecraft despite the odds being nil, but ignore those giving a more reasonable offer (e.g. make their money back and then some).

These people are basically drug addicts in the middle of a drug fuelled frenzy.
>>2436603
Can't wait to enjoy the game while some redditor retard screeches about putlermort in the forums. He can always go play games made by his own trans-bipoc kind like Shartgate.

es fanni because ~something gate is designed by butiful stracraft 2 trans wymxin pr0 playa

Oh woe, the man has an opinion you disagree with, lets rally the internet...
Under true neutrality you must admit the dev is based for sticking to his guns and not mitigating the content of his past posts like so many others attempt to do in this age. He's not afraid to be judged by the content of his character and he's unapologetic for being true to himself. Too many people persist in suffering because they cannot be honest with themselves about what they are.
>>
>>2433072
> Is it good?
As a big brain true strategy simulator for high IQ boys?
No.
As a "can't lose the game if the entire map is covered in Baneblade-with-siege-tank-mode"?
Yes.

Extremely funny that they still think this is something they should be advertising instead of concealing.

>As a big brain true strategy simulator for high IQ boys?
Very few people actually care for this, and those that do, have plenty of really autistic "strategy" and/or micro management simulators out there nowadays.
>As a "can't lose the game if the entire map is covered in Baneblade-with-siege-tank-mode"?
This is exactly what the vast majority of people who stopped playing RTS past the late 2000's actually always want(ed), it's about the spectacle and evoking specific feel (and scope) of fighting

Actual high IQ gamers play zachotronic games all day.
