I've said it before: 2017 was a bad year for the Codex. 2018 is not looking to be an improvement.

Spoiler

Also, these newfags need to get the hell off of my lawn.

Ekera, last good batch of newfags was from 2016, especially december was a good month, I say

Max here is one of the worse newfags we've had in a while.

If all the devs who make isometric RPGs are shit, I don't care if they all die. If ARPGs have something like Kingdom Come, I'll take it over the shitty isometric RPG. Muh popamole is not an argument.

Plenty of room for success in all genres with smaller teams and lower production values. I'm still waiting for my "indie" Deus Ex and Morrowind. That doesn't mean an "indie" Fallout 2 is off the table. Divinity proves it wouldn't necessarily have a super small audience either, it just needs to accept the new in the right areas and feel like something not just riding the coattails of nostalgia. On a forum like this it seems like 200 page debates about THACO matter a hell of a lot, but at the end of the day it's about the game being fun to play and interesting to read/look at. Pillars failed in those areas due to blandness.

I'll bring it up again, UnderRail was an amazing indie release. I'll take more UnderRails any day.

I agree with that, it's just that I lose hope quick when the only names making isometric RPGs consistently are Obsidian, Larian and inXile. Inxile are scammers, Obsidian can't make good games since all their talent left and Larian disappointed me with DOS2.

I came 2017 ,so there is at least something good.

I must admit that there is a few really bad ones from anno domini 2018,hope they get bored and leave. Strange Fellow could be a decent addition,not very grognard taste but still a decent chap to argue with.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I'm flattered, but not very grognard taste? Them's fightin words

At last you never be worse than Maxie.

Deadfire is on sale for -20% on both GOG and Steam. Which naturally makes the game sell more units.

Deadfire and season pass are on 1st page on Steam top sellers, Beast of Winter on page 2, narrowly missing out page 1.
On GOG Deadfire has spots #1, #3, #5 and #6. With the Definitive edition leading the charge at #1.

Season pass is now on page 43.
Beasts of Winter jumped on to page 41 (Beating Banner Saga 3 immediately)
Definitive Edition is on page page 37
Deadfire on 31.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Eh, how long will that last?

 

[Flou]

Eh, how long will that last?

End of the week most likely. Another one when ever the next DLC hits stores.

 

[DalekFlay]

Holy shit it's almost like standard procedure now is that you sell a ton more units at even a modest discount, greatly increasing revenue. What if the games makes a profit what will my fragile brain dooooooooo

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Holy shit it's almost like standard procedure now

It's almost, but not quite?

Because it is, actually.

Obsidian Edition is on page page 37
Deadfire on 31.

Still selling quite well, or well the Obsidian Edition is

Deadfire itself is stuck on page 31 (almost up to page 30 though)
Obsidian Edition has jumped on to page 34 (with this pace it will pass BattleTech soon)
Beast of Winter is on page 36.
Season pass got stuck at page 41 after the initial climb.

Tyranny sold over 300k copies. Deadfire must have sold that at least. So probably pretty profitable eh?

Tyranny has sold on Steam alone 562k copies, add GOG and you are over 600k copies sold.

 

[aweigh]

is that good or bad?

 

[J_C]

is that good or bad?

I think pretty good. An experimental old-school(ish) cRPG can't hope for more IMO. Sure, Divinity OS reached a million, but that game is closer to the mainstream than these titles. Pillars 1, another oldschool cRPG reaching 1million rode the nostalgia train, but all other cRPGs perform much worse. So 600K is very good.

 

[Urthor]

even at the really steep discounts recently that's pretty good and a sign of massive legs

 

[Jezal_k23]

Although PoE II was not a huge hit, as everyone else said, it could still be a steady seller for a few years down the line.

 

[fantadomat]

LoL lets just say that Deadfire sold 40 millions rounded and Tyranny sold like 65 millions rounded. Why beat around the bush,when you go delusional go full one!
