I wouldn't bet on Starfield. Bethesda doesn't have brand power behind them this time and hype for Starfield seems pretty mild compared to Skyrim or Fallout 4.

Not the best of predictors, but Skyrim's trailer is at 15M views in 12 years. Starfield's trailer is at 18M views in 2 years.

I think sales when all is said and done will be Starfield > BG3 > AC6

Journalist are riding the nuts of BG3 almost as hard as the codex is. Combined with all the degeneracy that is so popular everywhere, BG3 will sell very good because of it.

It’s going to be a test of Bethesda brand power because niche gamers barely talk about it. Bg3’s buzz was…the gay bear sex. AC6 is the one capturing real interest

Possible we just run in different circles, because I've honestly heard zero talk about Armored Core 6.
Or Armored Core at all. I had to actually look up what you're talking about.

Sales will be high, there's no doubt about that. When it releases on consoles eventually, they will be even higher. But my estimation is that roughly 20% of all players will actually finish the game. Many people will buy it because of the hype, some because of the movie, some because of Critical Role, and many console players just because it's shiny and new. But most of those people will never get past Act 1.

There is very little possibility that Starfield won't make a mint.

The latest fromsoft game? You must hang around 35+ people because nobody talks about Bethesda anymore.

Which is a shame, because it’s likely to be another stinker of game mechanics, garbage writing, and completely substandard art direction.

I can’t pretend to care about Bethesda in 2023 - their shit is bland.

Youtube was smaller in General when Skyrim trailer dropped and there were major competitors in gaming sphere like Gametrailers and Destructoid. Also I predict that because of Fallout 76 the press and gamers won't be as forgiving about their signature jank. Similarly to how everyone was forgave Bioware all their faults until Mass Effect 3 ending.

Yea I know…mods will fix it. But if Todd is giving us some garbage pail sandbox that will be fixed by some discord trannies, why is he charging me 70 dollars plus tip?

It's interesting because they're hyping up BG3 in spite of its jank.

Bioware's audience was focused on good-looking characters you could romance, so jank cut exactly into that target demographic
Bethesda's audience cares about exploring and basically living in big world, a little bit of junk won't stop them

the only way Starfield can fail is if it doesn't manage to provide that massive world feeling where you can go off to do your own thing. If they manage that, they will make shitloads of money

Space bear sex.

AC>Starfield>BG3. Elden Rang sold like 12 million copies, niggers, It's gonna be massive. Maybe Starfield>AC but BG3? No fucking chance.

 

[Latro]

Todd Howard’s/Swen’s liar box of shitty kitty shit = seventy dollars plus tip, 150 for deluxe edition with 2 dollar statue of some random crap

Hitoshi umineko never cry from Kansai province Japan selling you a game he spent ten years of his life on = ten dollars and his eternal love, as a free karmic bonus

I know who I support

 

[Late Bloomer]

I hope you're right.

I'm not saying it's gonna be a failure. The marketing department alone made sure of that, and the "critical role" loving subhumans will all but guarantee this will be a massive success.

I like how everyone has become an Armored Core fan overnight all of a sudden. I love From's Souls games, I've played all of them since Demon's Souls, but expecting Armored Core to be some record breaking bestseller seems crazy to me. In Japan, yes, but globally, hell no.

lmao, I thought they were talking about Assassin's Creed Mirage.

For 70 dollars Swen better come over to my house in the bear fursuit himself.

Eh, the only mech series I care about is MechWarrior

Armored core 3 is fun tho and runs smoothly on pcxs2

You're sending kinda mixed messages

 

[Tweed]

I'm just saying that if I'm going to spend that kind of money (which I'm not) that I better be getting a lot more than just a game out of the deal.
