Eternity PoE II: Deadfire Sales Analysis Thread

[Safav Hamon]

'Also more trash mobs. And shitty ESL writing. And kiddy art. But nostalgia conquers all.'

And while Obsidian acknowledged that their encounter design needed work, the lead director of Kingmaker said this...

Turn-based battles are attention hogs. It takes a lot of time to finish one and there are many battles to be fought. Since they take up so much time and attention, these battles have to be different and unique, and that makes the game too combat-oriented for our taste.

Designing unique encounters would make the game too combat oriented for their tastes? What kind of fucking logic is that...

Obsidian Edition is sitting pretty at #1 spot on GOG.com's best selling games. 31 dollarus for Deadfire + DLC's is a quite good deal though.

On the all time list it jumped from page 24 to page 18, finally passing Bastard's Wound DLC for Tyranny.

If only Safav was here to see this.

I suspect he's too busy buying copies on GOG

Safav was too good for this subforum.

Self-ejected because he's addicted to shitposting.

Let's pretend for a moment that I don't know what 'self-ejected' means in this context

He left the forums? Was banned? Killed himself?

I told him to delete his account and he deleted his account. I swear, it was all me.

He requested a ban and his wish was granted (after forcing him to wait for a while).

Good riddance.

I can't read it but I'm sure it was very sweet and thoughtful.

That is incline,he was the only evul bastard that wanted gone from this forum.

I am pretty sad about Templar tho,he was pretty amusing bastard and he had conviction behind his shit posting. I am pretty sure he was believing half the garbage he was posting. Also his reason for leaving was kind off legit,do hope that he decides to come back after a few months.

Page 16 now. Almost past Tales from the Tiers DLC. That 30 dollar price for the complete edition seems to do the trick.

This week Infinitron posted about a presentation that Sawyer did for Digital Dragons, a postmortem for Deadfire, after watching the entire video and agreeing with Sawyer I saw a video suggestion, basically a postmortem for PoE 1 at GDC, after watching that I saw the tragedy, in both videos he adressed 3 identical mistakes: companions, stronghold and "spirit" - he meant the spirit of the old classics such as BG. So the mistakes were made again but in a different fashion... hence the poor sales... but I'll be buying Deadfire... someday...

About the New Vegas and Fallout 4 discussion... well the horrid gunplay in New Vegas can be almost fixed with 2 mods - realistic damage and a hidden gem in Nexus that makes an incredible job with npc A.I -, what about Fallout 4?

Funny Deadfire and Kingmaker doing 50% discounts during the exactly same period.





Currently Kingmaker is #8 at global top sellers, Deadfire is... #58.

Deadfire was just recently on sale last month, kingmaker hasn't been on sale since the summer sale.

 

[Tenebris]

At this point they might as well just price cut Deadfire because it seems to be permanently on sale.
