    News Concord Review Thread

    Journalists disdain for multiplayer games overcomes everything else, especially if they view it as: "Not this again?" Think about how many highly rated MP only games there are at the top in terms of review score?. I can't even recall a single 90+ MP games in recent times(besides FFXIV, but MMOs...

    News Nobody is wishlisting Concord on Steam

    Nonsense, the video game industry needs less opacity with sales and other related numbers. Why do I have to learn sales figure from SIE games from a leak? Y'all gotta learn to embrace the chaos like the Box Office enthusiast do. Daily number tracking so you can follow any...

    News Concord Review Thread

    Yeah like that having numbers this low of players doesn't mean the game is ass, it means almost nobody wanted to give it a try at the price point the product was at. 99% of the people talking online haven't seen a match/played a single match of the game. There was a rejection of the game by the...

    News Nobody is wishlisting Concord on Steam

    I mean, of course it wasn't in full production for 8 years, Firewalk was officially founded in 2018 and you know the first year or two was really trying to get an idea of the game and acquiring funds to acquire talent. It's probably your average triple AAA production of 4-5~ years of production...

    PC Valve Officialy Announced Deadlock

    Corporate partnership alliances are kind of a nothingburger most of the time. It's always an agreement to vaguely work together at some point, in some capacity, maybe. Sometimes there's a stated goal with the partnership which, some of the time, leads to a greater chance of something happening...

    News Black Myth: Wukong has sold 10 million copies across all platforms.

    Some of them are already doing it, plenty of games sell millions of copies just from China. But you've got to have a Steam version and not be a console exclusive. Unless you're a publisher that has friends in high places that can allow you to get certified by the official video game board in a...

    News Black Myth: Wukong has sold 10 million copies across all platforms.

    Baldur's Gate is a notable, albeit old IP. Larian Studios generally don't say how much their game sell, but we know that right before the launch of BG3, Divinity 1 had sold 2.5M~ and Divinity 2 had around triple that 7.5M~ But this is a very PC centric IP developer, if you're more a follower of...

    News Ubisoft confirms more layoffs (45 people)

    I think Ubisoft would probably want to shed more employees like other publishers have done, but their whole pipeline set up is reliant on their enormous amount of employees to churn out these big open world games(AC/Far Cry/etc..) that need a lot of asset making. They're one of those publishers...

    News Employees in China given time off to play new Black Myth: Wukong video game

    As I said above, it doesn't pass the smell test. The game's peak is at 10PM local time, a day off does nothing for that. Workers are already at home. Not only that but the game peaked higher today than yesterday, are they giving two days off to these mythical night workers to bump up those...

    News Employees in China given time off to play new Black Myth: Wukong video game

    I hope you realize that the game's daily peak on Steam these past two days has been at 14:00-14:10 UTC which is 10PM in China. People getting a day off at launch would increase the off-hours numbers not the actual peak. No need to artificially spruce up the numbers, Chinese nationalism is...

    News Employees in China given time off to play new Black Myth: Wukong video game

    Nah, just a company or two. We've seen similar things like this(Elden Ring/Monster Hunter Rise and I'm sure a few others) Usually it's gaming or tech related smaller companies and they see all their young employees productivity going to crater anyway as their minds are consumed by a huge...

    News Monster Hunter Wilds is 30 FPS on consoles | Armor no Longer Gender Locked | + Preview Thread

    The same thing as DD2, they've upped sfx/added a lot of atmospheric weather effects, mob density and upped the general simulation across many things. Capcom really trying to choke the CPUs with all that shit.

    News Marvel Rivals launches December 6, 2024

    Yeah of course, I was also going to add that you're going to tell your kid that he's going to live that default costume life, but you're already on it I see! Wise man, lol. You gotta teach the right spending habits.

    News Marvel Rivals launches December 6, 2024

    I can only imagine that amount of skins they're going to sell to comic fans, sheesh. I mean, Fornite knows they sell, they're always doing collabs.

    Multiplatform Gamescom 2024 | OT | Doritos Pope | 11a PT/2p ET/7p BST/7p CEST

    I do wonder why the drop off for the game was so strong considering the beta numbers and the launch. It had a 2 week honeymoon period and then it just never managed to recover and the bigger patches/updates didn't do much based on steam CCU. I'm not really a PvP FPS player so I don't have any...

    Multiplatform Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 coming Q1 2025

    I feel extremely pained that the original team weren't allowed to finish the game for whatever internal reasons. The IP might just be cursed.
