• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Fewer people are playing Call of Duty this year than they have been before" Why has Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 seemingly sold below expectations? Is it simply not good enough? [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the quality of Black Ops 7 itself has affected the sales a lot honestly. Of course, if the game was sensationally good, there would be a lot of hype and people will get it, but my impression is that a game being bad generally doesn’t stop a game from reaching their sales targets. What you see what CoD and some other big franchises is the effect studios gradually ruining their reputation over many years by consistently releasing subpar products. They are now seeing the consequences of their extreme focus on maximizing the profit from each game, but to be completely honest, it was probably totally worth it from a financial standpoint even if upcoming games flop completely.

  That’s funny, I loved the puzzles, but dropped it because the combat didn’t click for me.

  Probably nothing, as I’m already kinda busy juggling Silksong and Hades 2 with the occasional Starvaders and Splatoon 3 session. I might end up just getting Cuphead for later though, and would maybe have considered God of War or Spiderman if there weren’t so many other great games to play.

  For people who haven’t played it, Ori and the Will or the Wisps is a great buy at 75% off. Probably my favorite metroidvania if you don’t count Tunic as a metroidvania.

  Looks good! Will check out the demo, and probably wait for a sale unless I like really want it.

  I hate that I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not

  I wish I liked Crosscode more. I really enjoyed the writing and loved the puzzles, but the combat just didn’t feel that good to me. Ended up dropping it in the second dungeon and never picked it up again.

  1. Celeste
  2. Outer Wilds
  3. Slay The Spire

  Much hidden gem.

  This game looks so cool. I loved how you shoot things into the wall and then jump on them, and also the clip where he throws a bottle up in the air, jumped up and hit it at the enemy. I have eyed Islets by the same developed earlier, which is also a metroidvania, but haven’t quite been convinced to buy it. Will be interesting to see how it ends up when it releases!

  I was ready for this to be some kind of scam, but it actually looks really cool
