Still top 10 right now in concurrent players on steam. Every other game on the tier list is a free to play game or Dune(with less players than Nightreign) and Dune is a big IP with a multimillion movie trilogy. Calling it flop is absurd.

60-80k players for a paid game is a lot wtf?
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 6 days ago:
? Same reason people use shit platforms? I can’t barely watch Twitch with 3 ads in a row every 30min and they still is the biggest streaming platform even when is shitty to the users and streamers. It’s a community based platform unless the community move to other place they still be big because people is there.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
They’ll probably implement a daily/hourly download limit like MEGA does. So, for example, you can download 1000000000 small mods of some kbs, but the limit is 5 GB, so the mod bundle for big games is virtually limited to premium users.
They’ll probably try to change the lifetime subscription(the biggest sin in capitalism, how do you make infinite money without doing nothing if people can buy subscription once?), making it useless compared to the premium premium subscription.
Paid mods I think are unlikely, why bother to make a change so unpopular? Milk this shit for a decade and press this button only when shit hits the fan.
Is a enshification process not so painful so the vast majority will not bother to look for alternatives.
In other words: We’re doomed.
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 1 week ago:
I could argue in favour of EA’s decision regarding the engine. Their previous engine was also a mess, but they mishandled the change. They didn’t give the studios the necessary time or support to implement it properly. But at the time of Veilguard they already had plenty of experience, the game performs really well and they release the game practically bug free.
The part of EA forcing them to build a type of game that they didn’t usually make I’m particularly not inclining to believe it’s was a problem. Bioware developed and maintain Star Wars Old Republic, an MMO, MMOs have many similarities to live services(it’s a type of live service), they already had experience with that. They also released Anthem, and looks like the idea of a multiplayer for Anthem came from Bioware.
The idea of a multiplayer Dragon age to finish the story is completely stupid but Bioware had the expertise to work on it. It’s a different case for Fallout 76 as Bethesda has never developed a multiplayer game before, TESO is a completely different studio with its own team, SWTOR is from a team within Bioware.
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 1 week ago:
I could believe that if they didn’t have a history of poor management and lack of leadership and unified vision as demonstrated during the Anthem development.
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 1 week ago:
Search for the story of Anthem and David Gaider opinions about how they handle their writers, they fucked that up on their own.
And reading this article is basically: The DA team blames the ME team for diverting them to Andromeda. Then they blame Anthem. Then they blame EA. Then they blame the pandemic. Then they blame EA. Then they blame the ME team again.
The only moment that they actually put some blame on the DA team is with the tone of dialogue and they quickly blame EA for saying “you guys doesn’t have time to make changes”. The ME team made changes, it’s because of favouritism from EA or the ME team just has better management and know how to negotiate?
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 1 week ago:
Basically confirming what I suspect.
I just don’t like the tone of putting the blame on EA, 80% of this mess is Bioware’s fault alone.

Boycott 101, it’s not a boycott if you doesn’t want to buy that shit before calling boycott.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 weeks ago:
The nope are games that I dropped because of problems to play it on Linux or I didn’t like to play.
Genshin is there because I have another gacha game in the Non Stop(FGO), playing both of them is impossible.
I saw the clusterfucker 2k/take two did with borderlands and fuck them, but it’s still possible to play without their shit by sailing the high seas so I still plan to finish Borderlands 3.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 weeks ago:
I use Obsidian to list the games.
I start using this 3-4years ago, there’s a lot of games on “Not started” or “On hold” there are games there I finished but want to replay and there’s a lot of older games that I played and didn’t add to “Done”. In my case is more of games that I bought it and need to be remembered to play it.
- Comment on Please Don't Preorder This... 2 weeks ago:
i think you are misunderstanding the point of the no preorder movement. There never should have been an expectation for it to improve the Day 1 quality of game releases.
And many other articles or reddit discussions about the topic. That’s what game journalist told the gamers and what many believe. The consumer protection was always the part that made sense, but they tried to push this idea of we could fix the broken release culture by not pre-ordering.
- Comment on Please Don't Preorder This... 2 weeks ago:
Controversial opinion:
Pre-ordering or not make no difference.
You can search for it, in 2014 they have reports of a declining in pre-orders industry wide, they don’t give numbers of pre-orders but even if you look at the ranking of sold games in online platforms people buy more days after the release than before or in day of the release.
The boycott of pre-order kinda of worked, more people avoid pre-ordering than before and did that make any difference in the quality of game release? Hell no, they still release game with bugs, not finished with need of day one patches, the entire boycott made 0 impact on this shit.

Good to know. Another cool nordic region.

- Comment on Deep dive into Chaotic TCG, the game you (maybe) have never heard of 3 weeks ago:
The Chaotic cartoon was so fucking good, it was probably the first Isekai that I ever heard of.
I didn’t even know that it had a TCG, I don’t think that it was ever commercialized in my country.

The thing that not holds well in Ocarina of Time is the N64 controls and like what they supposed to do to overcome that?

Me too. The problem with every major company using unreal is that every game that try to be realistic looks the same.
- Comment on MindsEye boss claims game's negative reaction ahead of release has been paid for in "concerted effort" against studio 3 weeks ago:
The game looks like a mixture of GTA, Mafia, modernize APB in a cyberpunk-esque universe with generic Unreal 5 graphics.
The mod tool is the biggest feature in my eyes, but for the average gamer does that make a difference? I don’t think you need to pay to criticize this game, but what do I know? I been paid by Russia and China to have this account on lemmy 🤷♂️

- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 4 weeks ago:
The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with.
But also adds more chance of the movie to fuck up the lore for the sake of the movie’s plot.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 4 weeks ago:
Video game movies have a chance of being good, they are almost always trash with a slim chance of being good. For a game with a lot of lore and no plot, the chance of being good is close to zero.
Maybe a miracle will happen.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 4 weeks ago:
Did you play TW3? Ciri is co-protagonist of the game, she is the character that has a journey.

People downvote you but I feel you.
The gameplay just doesn’t hold up, the combat is too basic, has no depth and become stale really quickly
