So that Far Cry New Dawn game that people were whining about, ya know saying silly stuff like "Looks like an expansion/dlc" is getting similar reviews by critics and better customer feedback when compared to Metro Exodus.

 

To be honest, I did not see that coming and it's still hard to believe but we can't argue with the masses/genral reaction of consesus.

 

That said, I still have no desire to play it because I loathe the "flowers covering everything" look lol Still, kinda surprised about people saying "My favorite Far Cry game" when all Far Cry games (minus the bery first one and Primal) are great.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

Probably the most impressive indie studio working at the moment.

 

Team Cherry is terrific. I would also put Failbetter Games, Image & Form Games, and Mimimi Productions into the top shelf indie category.

CDPR: "We're not about the money, we're about making a product we love and letting everyone play it - regardless of if our take is less"

 

They have a point. Why soend years to make something if less people will be able to play it? Is the trade off in proffit worth it?

besides they own GoG, so why even bother

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

From the comments section by YongYea: "For those pointing out this should be obvious given CD Projekt Red has GOG, keep in mind that Ubisoft has UPlay and still made a deal with Epic to exclude Division 2 from Steam, so it's good to know something like that won't happen with Cyberpunk 2077."

I think selling 2077 on consoles is going to be a more lucrative strategy than gaming the PC market anyways. Steam is the largest share, GoG is the optimal payout. No need to sign any exclusive deals; getting on more distribution platforms the better.

Kinda seems dumb that anyone would even think they'd limit their game to the Epic Games Store given they own their own platform and I don't think they've ever limited their games to it.

Noone likes UPlay, people kinda like GoG

Thronebreaker was GOG exclusive for ~a month before being released on steam. And while not quite the same thing if you buy CDPR games anywhere other than steam you get a GOG key, not a steam one. OTOH I doubt Epic could offer CDPR enough money to make 2077 Epic Store exclusive, not really their style and it would involve far too many toys coming out of cots from the steam === PCgaming crowd.

 

 

We aren't Bobby's target and never have been, shareholders are. And they love that sort of thing. Bobby has zero bonks to give for gamers, so long as he get their money.

I totally forgot about Bobby Kotick and his "taking the fun out of making games" bs.

Warhorse Studios has been bought by THQ Nordic as per this. So that means another studio basically owned by Koch Media...

Doesn't really seem that stupid, he's about making money which is what game companies are in it for.

I like Kotick, he's like Trump but with an IQ above 80.

Wait... popularity equals IQ now? I honestly wonder which one is richer and more successful through facts of life.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

Interesting... but I never said popularity equals wealth or success through facts of life.

 

Let me guess, you're going to argue with me that I did, I'll ask you where exactly I said it and you'll try your best to convince me that I wrote something that never existed - as per usual.

GoG and Steam for me on PC. It is worth noting that CDPR could pull a **** move and release Cyberpunk 2077 on GoG/Console only if they wanted to. Of course they will never do that because... *drum roll*

 

...it's anti-consumer.

 

 

Couldn't Epic Games put all that money and effort into a new Unreal Tournament or a new single-player Unreal game instead?!

Unreal will never have single player only game, be realistic :)

 

and there actually is new UT 'in progress' and its kinda fun TBH, but arena shooters are not selling right now, they would have to compete with Battle Royale and it seems everyone needs BT now (but UT could actually be decent BT when I think about it)

Rage 2

Wolfenstein

Metro Exodus

Far Cry 5

DOOM

...

 

I'd say there is a demand for SP Shooters. Perhaps not as high as BR games but still...

You mean like nobody said that popularity equals IQ?

 

You should stop the guessing, you are pretty terrible at it.
