    Multiplatform The Game Awards Nominees List Announcement

    We know… over 90% of sales on Steam come from China. BTW it is offensive to call chineses as “pesky”.

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    The leak is illegal and probably will make the conversation hard now. It was probably made to influence the executives with public opinion…. the change in the shares values affect the negotiation too. That is why these type of leaks are not allowed in any industry.

    Didn’t you understand what I said? That makes sense why you doing weird quotes lol If you have massive campaign in a over billion country voting for the same game… you basically killed your award. Same as they pushed Wulong to records on Steam when actual sales outside the national push were...

    Multiplatform The Game Awards Nominees List Announcement

    The award is already dead. First DLCs being nominated GOTY. Now chineses voting for Wukong (Weibo is already asking everybody to vote for it). Yeap Wukong is the GOTY if the award is really by player votes… unless journalists have more weight than popular vote. We will have a taste with the...

    It doesn’t matter what MS is doing. Japanese government is very protective to national industry… they will only allow MS to buy a Japanese company when there is no internal company wanting it. And the government will even try to make things easy to a internal company like giving beneficies...

    These true gamers that cheat to reach the DLC fast than actually it was designed using guides? Lol Or tell people that Tears of the Kingdom is the same game as Breath of the Wild when even the whole game engine was new, to not say story, gameplay, weapons, events, areas, characters, etc? I...

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    I wonder why he thinks that when what he did with Elden Ring was basically Dark Souls 4 with another name. And that is not a criticism at all. But Elden Ring is what they come building since Demon’s Souls… They had some alternative spin-offs with different mechanics like Bloodborne or Sekiro…...

    The story in the TLOU2 is a start to end… it gives you the background you need to play. That is why it is a new game lol You can buy it today, play it without ever buying TLOU and get the whole story of the game. Do you do t know the difference between entry games and DLCs?

    You still keep that ridiculous ideia of new game is equal to a DLC. It is hard to talk with you because you have no ideia of what is talking about and won’t change your weird mind. Even here you tried to make DLC story locked where you need to play over 30 hours of the game to looks like it...

    Discussion UK Sales: Week 46, 2024

    It is a main DQ just not new… a new one should do over 3 million in Japan at launch. That is what the last one did (DQXI did close to 3.5m physical at launch week). But maybe digital plays a big role now so maybe some 2 million with the rest being digital.

    For a DQ game in Japan? Sure. I can see it not doing huge number on PS5 but Switch needs to be really huge.

    News Alan Wake 2 has sold over 1.8M units; Control Ultimate Edition for Mac coming Feb 12, 2025; Control 2 will be an action RPG

    I think that is just how much they need to get in unit terms. Probably the $$$ they got with the Gamepass and PS++ deal are converted to units… so it decrease the number of units needed to have a 100% ROI. For example if they got $10m from each then they have already $20m from the $30m… so just...

    It was already a failure set by Steam CCU guys with just 30k units worldwide across all platforms. The fact it already sold way better in UK than what the Steam CCU guys thought is already something 😂. BTW this UK physical alone already put these 30k units worldwide in the bullshit side.

    So you need a guide to jump parts to access the DLC part... that for me falls in the cheating side. And like I said he is being harmful with anybody reading his posts that to access the DLC they will need 4 hours.... anybody wanting to play the DLC without having played Elden Ring will need to...

    That is how much you need to play to reach the DLC point... 30-50 hours... maybe if you rush you can do in less time... depends how you play.

    Nope. I'm teaching you what story locked means. DLCs should not be nominated as GOTY because it is part of a game that already have it time to fight for the GOTY. The Blood and Wine should never be nominated to GOTY like it was never nominated. This weird things started with the change of...
