Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that games like Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, BG3 will sell a lot more copies than smaller games?

They have the budget and talent to make an amazing and lengthy experience.

I don't care about what some indie or AA studio does in the months following such massive releases. Even Starfield and AC are not enough anymore.

People want quality and most studios can't even be compared to what Larian did last year. It's as simple as that.

Spoiler alert: GTA 6 will do well.

@Fluessigmetall I actually prefer FPS when done right, but most studios don't have the budget and skill of CDPR. You really need fancy animations and graphics to make the immersion of first person worth it over the ease of third person.

I just hope that the story has a serious tone. It's a lot easier to not get bored sneaking through levels if you care about what's going on.

Did they really patch in that note in the game?

I am surprised that the little girl didn't win. I guess that it's because the studio is Polish/American not Japanese.

@gollumb82 I think that you are forgetting what happened when CP2077 launched. CDPR was adamant that the game was going to be released only when ready and they intentionally hid the old gen versions completely and didn't allow PC reviewers to use their own footage.

And on top of all of this the game was truly just broken for many users. Steam and even SONY were offering refunds. That almost never happens. The game was pulled from sale.

#Neverforget. It can only make the sequel and Witcher 4 better.

@gollumb82 Nah. The game had many bugs and unfinished features like the cop chases. Not to mention some outright missing features like car customization.

There is no need for you to become defensive. If you truly love the franchise you will hold CDPR accountable. It can only result in better games.

@Weez The fact that Cyberpunk didn't sell RDR2 numbers is making me happy. I hope that despite it's massive success the head honchos over there think to themselves 'Damn. We could have sold twice as many copies by now if we hadn't ***** up the launch'.

@Yagami Dontnod could have been living good if they made LIS 2 with Max AND Chloe

@nessisonett I know that your gut reaction is to feel sorry for employees who lost their jobs. It's a nice trait to have. But you also need to realize that if studios are making games that no1 wants to play someone out there is losing money. And that's just not fair. Life is not black and white.

I know that people like to hit Ubisoft while they are down, but I am actually happy that they are listening to criticisms. The difference between this game being awful and potentially being good can be as small as some dialogue changes after consulting with real historians.

No1 had issues with silly historical figures 15 years ago, but nowadays you gotta do better. Especially if you are going to promote your game as being historical.

@LifeGirl FromSoft just announced pay bumps BTW. It's almost as if they release games that people want to play and Dontnod haven't had a clue since the original LIS.
