Support NeoGAF

It's a solid new foundation that can easily take them in the right direction (again).

I'm having a good time with this game. Putting everything on the highest difficulty, makes it fun to explore and stealth.
Yasuke is still too overpowered for my tastes, but that's about it.

Is it any good? I got bored with Valhalla.

It's more of the same with very slight improvements. Stealth is passable now. The overall structure of the game and open-world bloat and simple, repetitive mission design has not changed and only gotten more tiresome.

Can we trust someone so ideologically bent they moved wholesale to Bluesky?

A bsky preference is a good indicator that we are dealing with someone who is unlikely to be an impartial observer.

The 'here's a fun one...' framing seems to confirm that assumption. It's 'a fun one' because he considers what he is about to say to be an owning of the chuds, but unfortunately -just like with the Veilguard 'go woke go top of the charts' situation- the evidence being offered to support the conclusion does not withstand any critical thinking.

"According to the steam concurrent data" …

It's a pretty good game, enjoying it right now.

I'm glad I'm not an activist with a horse in this race. It must be exhausting to constantly juggle a ton of qualifiers.

Any real discussion should begin with posting hard numbers on sold copies, not some vague information about the number of players or the place on retail bestselling lists.

KCD2 devs didn't avoid the topic and announced selling 2 million copies, Stalker 2 devs announced selling 1 mil. I suspect that the problem here is that AC needs a lot more to break even, even if it's already above 2 million copies.

AC Shadows had two hours of credits, so yes ... maybe

btw. why is AC successful everywhere except on Steam?

Probably because those are genuine sales milestones for KCD2 and Stalker 2 against internal expectations, whereas 2M wouldn't be for Shadows.

It's likely doing well enough that it's holding off the sales competition (in the US at least) from the likes of KCD2, which has likely done around 3m+ copies globally by now, but not doing well enough to fend off the grim reaper that is Tencent.

The answer to my question btw SweetTooth was COD BO6, 82% of copies were sold on PS. So we have:

Your guess - Mat hides splits that favour PS but shouts splits that favour PC, Switch or Xbox

Reality - Mat has shared two splits in the last 6 months. One that favours PC and one that favours PS. The vast majority of splits are kept for subscribers, regardless of which platform leads.

The reason you were wrong is because you're not actually observant.

You ignore/forget the positive things Mat says about Sony games and the many positive things he says about Sony's sales performance. But if he says something positive about another platform you claim screaming and anti-Sony bias.

You need to live in the real world and observe what people actually say/do. Not the console war world where you only observe what fits your narrative.

I will take your word for it, I stopped following him since he went to that weird Blusky or whatever platform.
