in case you need a guide to reviews:

 

[whydoibother]

Birdbrained consumers: reading reviews before they buy.
Me, an intellectual: reading reviews of reviews, before reading said reviews, before deciding to pirate or not.

Stop making up this fake shit.

Bulgaria has it at #2 too

Top 2 in HUE land too

#2 in Robmania too

Remarkable cohencidence. Could sbdy do a collage of all the steam pages for various countries?

 

[Storyfag]

No hablo ingles, what's that pulling barve shit?

Esta una tragedia.

I dunno, the discourse on the net around Veilguard is exactly the same as it was around Concord before release - relentless shitting and memeing.

I'm not sure it bodes well for its financial success

The current shitposting definitely is a "return to form" to old days of TORtanic shitposting. I am proud of you all!

Just anti-fandom and kulturkampf, perhaps. The moment people started saying "I wish X fails, I would have more fun mocking it if it failed than playing it if its good" is the moment an industry evolved around saying everything sucks and everything is shit.

That said, I have no doubt that Veilguard will not live up to expectations, will be declared worse than the previous Dragon Age games (probably by me too, if I even play it), and will generally be remembered as a generic action game stitched to a tumblr visual novel, in a way nobody wants or likes. But it will outsell Concord, 1001% sure of that. It looks like its set to sell millions in the next few months. Just, you know, not enough millions.

Concord didnt have a large fanbase propping the game up nor was it from a known and 'beloved' studio (Bioware's name still carries quite a bit of weight among normies)

 

[Larianshill]

Let's ignore reviews showing up 50 min thinking critique by explaining why there are flaws followed up by footage. And let's trust on 15 min reviews from the mainstream IGN

Y'all can't behave

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

Why do they treat a massive corporation as if it was their pitiful local beggar? "After all it's been through." What?

 

[Child of Malkav]

Did it not occur to them that "Doing a Barve" sounds like "Doing a Barf"?

I don't think they are aware of many things.

Fuck you, TOR was ok.

Barve new world.

Still no idea what this barve thing is about though.

Number two in the UK as well... how can it be exactly 2nd in every jurisdiction? Was it aliens?

Cawadooty will be #1 everywhere on release, so really Veilguard is #1 of the rest. Lets see if it holds for more than a few days before declaring it a bestseller.

I've said many times before the game won't flop, and today we'll see that I was right.

Activision-Blizzard paid more for Black Ops 6 to be on top.

It will do even better on consoles, given its a gamepad centered game, with neo God of War type combat.
But it will flop, because having Bioware and Dragon Age on the cover sets the bar pretty high, reasonably or not. It will just flop how Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire flopped, not how Concord flopped.

It could be that they're paying steam to up the rankings. I don't have anything concrete of course, but it is weird, high rankings in every region where the game can be bought is strange.

How's it doing in Saudi Arabia, or one of those countries?

 

[Dr1f7]

this is so funny
i really needed rook to say "is she gonna eat her ham?" and wave his hands up like costanza tho

of course they'd lose soros black rock bucks if they did something like that
