The copium lies in the sales. Pathfinder games (Kingmaker and Righteous) have less positive score but much MUCH better sales.What's the cope? 89 on metacritic, 8.3 user score, 87% positive user score on Steam.Ahahahahaha ahaha

Kingmaker sales seem to be in the same ballpark with PoE.The copium lies in the sales. Pathfinder games (Kingmaker and Righteous) have less favorite score but much MUCH better sales.What's the cope? 89 on metacritic, 8.3 user score, 87% positive user score on Steam.Ahahahahaha ahaha

I'll die on the hill that it came down to marketing. PoE2 was marketed like a pirate game, I even skipped it at launch because of that, the Pathfinder games are clearly marketed as medieval fantasy.The copium lies in the sales.

Engine is the one thing they can and should be proud of, it's been almost 5 years and still nothing can touch Deadfire's visuals.I remember how proud they were of the engine when they released Pillars. I think they lated denounced it as hard to use?
At any rate, I don't think the players accepted it as a particularly meaningful investment. People who like Pillars don't do so because of the stunning visuals.

I concur. PoE OC needed some inspired writing, nothing ground breaking, just a good PnP adventure. Something relatively small scale in a large world, where a group of adventurers bounced around. Nothing epic.I'll die on the hill that PoE OC was just that meh that not as many people were willing to give the second one a shot especially when it turned out not to be as good as the White Marsh expansions.
I don't think the poor POE2's sales are caused by the pirate theme but instead by the terrible disappointment that was the first Pillars of Eternity game.I'll die on the hill that it came down to marketing.

The core audience of these games are clearly more interested in 'swords & sorcery' than fucking pirates.
Also despite being from Texas, she sounds like she has an north-central american accent?
Oh sure but I'm confused how someone with this backgroundAlso despite being from Texas, she sounds like she has an north-central american accent?
Either she lost it, like Sawyer did with his Wisconsin accent, or she was raised in one of the big cities in Texas.
sounds like she's from Minnesota.Carrie Patel was born and raised in Houston, Texas.

I'm playing Deadfire again , after droppign two times. I having fun but it's always back in the mind how much better would be if i actually finished the first game and DLCs, also i miss sixth party member..They shouldn't have made PoE2 a sequel. I couldn't bear to finish the first game and I'm not playing a direct sequel to a game I didn't finish. As for sales, this says it all:
People find PoE boring, so they don't buy PoE2, which looks like more of the same. It's a direct sequel, so newcomers will feel like they need to play the first game beforehand. Assuming they do, they'll most likely find it boring and don't buy the sequel.
People don't find Kingmaker boring, so they buy Wrath of the Righteous. Furthermore, it's not a direct sequel, so everyone can jump in, even if they didn't play Kingmaker.
Obsidian has worse business sense than some ragtag group of Russians, which honestly isn't that surprising considering the gigabrains like Feargus or Parker are still there and still make decisions, even under MS.
What, that a 2015 game is still peaking at 600+?As for sales, this says it all
All time peak is a good indicator of initial interest in the game (assuming it happened near release, which it did in all the cases here). PoE2 had half the numbers of PoE1, while WotR had twice the numbers of Kingmaker. With that in mind, re-read what I wrote under the screenshot.What, that a 2015 game is still peaking at 600+?As for sales, this says it all
That PoE1 has twice the all-time peak than Pathfinder 1?
Or does it say anything else that hasn't been said ITT?
