Incline Josh Sawyer appreciation station

Not merely that, but he made the general gaming public think that this kind of game was a relic, and not worth reviving. PoE was the standard bearer for the next wave of IE-like games, and it died at birth.

PoE and the Pathfinder games did just fine sales-wise.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

both sold like shit compared to superior Swen's games

IE garbage never had a chance, IE fans get out of this site

 

[Beastro]

Will Josh transition before announcing his next game?

"Will"? Nigga already looks like a lesbian librarian

Looking more like a Stephen Colbert impersonator there.

Swen is also an idiot, just of a different kind.

And do not insult IE games. You are a retard who plays Fallout 76.

I predict BG3 is going to blow the previous games out of the water sales-wise, and while being turn-based too.

And one can't say "b-but co-op" because the BG games were also co-op.

I fail to see your point.

Sales bear no implications for the individual gamer. Why would I care about sales?

This conversation track was about sales.

It already has and it's not released yet.

Soyer is not worth commenting on.

It already has and it's not released yet.

Estimates:
1.12 M .. 3.09 M on reviews
~1.08 M by PlayTracker
~1.68 M by VG Insights
~2.52 M by SteamSpy

In the 00s Bioware boasted that the combined sales of both BGs was 5 million so I wouldn't state that definitively yet. At most, it's matched it, though it's an achievement to do so at at full price (I'm sure a lot of those copies of the BGs were moved at a discount).

No one gives a shit. Quality of gameplay is the only thing that matters.

Comparing and speculating sales of a title released in 1998-2000 and one to be released in 2023...

"Anything released now will always sell more" is clearly not true.

Nah, looks like an even more effeminate form of Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote.

And now you're just deliberately acting disingenuous.

I always thought it was a picture of his Rachel Maddow cosplay.

I grant you, such cosplay is a thoroughly terrifying & repugnant thought... Unfortunately for Soyer, he is a bit low-T when juxtaposed with Madcow. On a scale of incel to chad, Madcow is an off the chart sexual tyrannosaurus compared to Soyer.

It's seems that Josh is starting to rub his elbows with the lower echelon of the media and the creative class.

I'd really like to know WTF happened to this man, to change so much..
Or whether he was always like that, just the times not allowing him to show it until only recently.

I really do.

If senpai Chris ever returns after his trials against the oppressed females of the world, i will ask him.

 

[whydoibother]

Eh, he's not wrong in principle, but the given example is obviously part of a tutorial. Yeah, who would write that in blood, there, muh immersion! But also, its more immersive than a popup alert window with Microsoft Clippy saying "Did you know you can cut off zombie limbs? Try it!".
And if immersion is THAT important, that you care about tutorial graffiti being integrated into the story better, then why the fuck can I pause the game, drink 5 liters of booze, eat 5 chickens, and do drugs several time, in the middle of combat in Fallout NV? A bit immersion breaking, isn't it? More so than the graffiti being too high for raiders to realistically reach.

Based on some of the pictures, my guess is estrogen.

The overton window moved and he had to move too if he didn't want to be left out as a good Californian lefty.

My thinking too initially, makes sense; but when you're that successful? Mm, an easy excuse to be sure, but you do have options.
Plus, you don't need to go tranny to stay afloat in those circles, this is all done to such a high degree i have to assume it's just who he is.. by now anyway.
