People on here also shit on 2k, fifa, and CoD and they still hit the top 10 bestselling you going to be alright if their 3 legally mandated yearly bangers on your game before moving on to their casinos and forget you exist till the game awards
proof right here that no matter how much you think that genshin/hsr/zzz/hi3 or whatevers is an actual good game its still a gacha game and gacha games will forever be seen as a disgrace
@biridesbenerer Is monster hunter a soulslike? I though games with parrying and dodging where soulslike but I don't see one dodge animation or a parrying animation in the trailer, so why even call it one?
They're calling Nodusfall made by Hoyoverse just another soulslike or an elden ring copy but I don't see one parry or dodge animation in sight... Which is their whole thing...
This shi closer to monster hunter.
#nodusfall#larper
why is not hoyo investing in its already existing games with their existing audience but instead are using all the budget to make 1929383839 other games ๐ซฉ๐ซฉ๐ซฉ
But developing cost and graphic power rising and the time it takes to make a game nowadays make small bets into to big bets too so they just end up going all in on the risky bet with the bigger payout ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ
We might get to point were everything "triple A" is also "free-to-play"
This is why when people say that we need a "game industry reset" I just laugh to myself, wipe the slate clean and we are ending up in the same freemium place twice as fast.
My realistic hope is companies realize how oversaturated that market is and keep making smaller games
Questions in the vein of "Why does the games industry look like this?" can typically be answered as such:
Of the $195 billion spent annually on game software across mobile, PC & console, approx 75% is in-game purchases / DLC and the remaining 25% is paid games / subscriptions.
Witcher 3 remaster if it was made by other companies:
Sony: Please pay a upgrade fee!
Xbox: Buy Gamepass to play!
Nintendo: Rebuy the whole game, full price
Meanwhile Cd Projekt red: Yeah it's all free

@NewtyButt No meta quest and vr is still expensive and depends mostly on having pc hardware which isn't in a good place rn. Vr dies either way without constant new games that people want to play and new people to play it and convince companies to make games.
So either way we end up here.
Steam concurrent users peaks around 40 MILLION daily, it's mainstream, not some niche product that only nerds know how to operate. Only thing that might require more know how is resolving issues but most people and most popular games will just run.
@Azelf64@PopplioApproves Steam has no physical games steam is way to difficult to use for 99% of the world steam hardware is a failure nintendo switch and switch 2 is the now and future
My ps5 controller definitely has stick drift so I quickly looked up how much a new ps5 controller cost and then went back and tried to open the events tab one more time and failed again anyway. No way am I spending that much on a controller that can just fail again Ima ignore it.
Raiden Ei in the "female version" of genshin impact be like "You will be inlaid upon this statue"๐๐
Signora: "Filthy picks-me all of you" ๐๐
Dottore: "I flopped in Sumeru but not me also serving cunt in Sumeru"๐คญ
Kinda funny how in universe clothes are super inclusive and accomodating to thirens needs but for other common tech and chairs they dead ass got nothing that phone mic better be good.
Traveller after Signora was killed realizing he still gotta fight Raiden again according to Yae Miko's plan and that "Anti shogun training" did not help him at all. Yeah I don't blame him for forgetting.
