The Elder Scrolls Online has generated over 2 Billion in revenue

[John Elden Ring]

"In an interview with GamesRadar+, studio director Matt Firor says that the $2 billion figure, which was announced at GDC last month, was revealed "mostly to shine a light on the game." That's because, in Firor's opinion, "ESO isn't often talked about as one of the successful live service games. But it is, it very much is on just about every level."

"I think that [$2 billion figure] just shows the commitment that the players have to the game," he continues, "and also that we at Zenimax Online have. It's hugely successful, and we love working on it."

200 million revenue a year for a mid game is really good, I'm surprised

Rocky start, but it was a good formula for success. Gonna be easy money going forward for them

Meanwhile some PS fans throw a hissy fit every time a MP game is mentioned. Would of been smart if they got something like FF14 or the next FFonline and Dragon quest online.

Lol this is true to form.
Ive probably played 1000x more single player games than Gaas/mp.
The more genres and games from Playstation studios the better for me, even if I dont like the genre, Im sure someone else does.

Diablo is another one that makes sense I guess. Should I try it good sir?

As I get older, I increasingly realize for any game I could never see myself playing, there's someone else out there for whom it will be on their GOAT list.

Always nice to have a variety of games which speak to all gamers!

As for Diablo, at least when it launched, from fans of the genre, I heard it was solid overall, but a bit lacking on the end game.

i just stop playing as of to night, level two characters to sixty, got around 210 paragon levels or something then I kinda got really bored.

I think the game is good for a short burst, a couple of weeks at best then retire it and wait for a new season with new themes.

As for now I am going to play resident evil village its been on my back log for a while and have been looking forward to it

Oh, I enjoyed RE:Village quite a bit! I hope you have fun with it too!

It was the first game I ran raytracing on and was amazed by some of the interiors.

That sounds pretty good. Did it have a decent normal game before the added content?

I really liked Village. RE7 felt a bit more creepy horror. But RE8 felt more well rounded. More enemies, more metroidvania esk level design, probably the longest RE game. And 1 part which was quite scary tense

I think the game is fine; it's worth a playthrough for the story at least, just to keep tabs on where it is heading overall. However, I did not think the story or the cut scenes were partially good in this expansion.

Blizzard, to me, has always had some of the greatest cut scenes ever told; truth be told, this expansion were like a massive step back in quality and storytelling to me.

I just started Resident Evil Village. My god, I got swarmed by a lot of werewolves at the start. I went up a ladder trying to escape, confused as to where I am meant to go. It seems very dark and hard for me to navigate at the moment.

Put your big boy pants on and play in PSVR2.
Then change your big boy pants for a fresh pair after you've soiled them.

PSVR2 RE is just evil.

The problem is PS makes shit GaaS. Playstation doesnt have the gumption nor the IP nor the talent to make an MMORPG. I frankly dont think they can even make rpg's, They could have made an MMORPG out of order 1886 but we know how that went with them pussying out because of meta scores lol

 

[Yurinka]

Way more than I ever expected.

I wouldn't call shit to Destiny, Helldivers, Gran Turismo or MLB.

My brother in christ they bought Bungie, they have absolute shit to do with Destiny and Destiny is not even a good game in the first place.

The only worthwhile so called GaaS game they had is GT but that is due to Kaz being a genius and now they have HD2 which is puttering along.

The list of Sony multiplayer flops can go longer than a page - this company has no clue how to make them - they produced concord and will release fairgames and the borizon GaaS flops in the future

 

[AllBizness]

I dropped this game when I started playing FF14, which is the best mmorpg on the planet. ESO is ok, but nowhere near as good as FF14.

But how many MP/Gaas games have they made recently? They’ve have what, 2 failures? Its not like they are feeding them out like others.
And everyone makes shit games, MP and single player games from Nintendo, PS to EA and others. Sony rarely make some mediocre SP games too, should they stop?

They could make whatever they want, they just have to get the right people and invest, currently no they dont have a team to make MMO, but they can make it happen. Especially with their past MMO experience.
But I doubt they have all the right heads to get this done.
Id rather they try new ips or work work with really popular iPs, like the Factions 2 and Spiderverse would be smart. Theres some weird obsession with PS fans that want mediocre dead ips to come back.

Thats like MS now owning all their gaas games. They had nothing to do with Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, Diablo etc. But they will reap the rewards.

Sony has to have their own like Destiny. Destiny belongs to them just like COD belongs to MS.
HD2 sold 12 million, it doesnt live and die on the steam numbers. Its done more than puttering along lol

Yes, Destiny is now a Sony game because they bought it. And Destiny is one of the most successful GaaS in console.

You not liking it doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that your taste is different than the many millions of people who enjoyed it.

All their GaaS are GaaS. You not liking them doesn't make them less GaaS.

As an example, Helldivers 2 is a GaaS and it's a great success, fastest selling Sony game ever. Many people including me love that game -despite some weird decisions they took after launch that later they kept fixing-.
