That's all good but, how many hours have people played the game for? This is the thing that makes companies money, isn't it???

Sad that I hate turn based games. Maybe I'll try it at 20$ and open up ti a new genre.

Sadly Larian games rarely go on sell let alone for that much off.

If you ever see it for $20 off snatch it.

Do you think they would prefer you playing 1225 years OR selling millions of copies of the game when trying to make money?

Why not both?

 

[MacReady13]

Why not both?

My point is, SOME companies (when they don't sell games) only announce how many hours people play their games. I'm not unhappy with companies announcing hours played but when you're in the business to make money, you could play a game for a billions hours yet that shit ain't making you money over millions of sales... especially a company like this.

Bg2 is in my top5 games ever and I still think Larian was bad choice with their turn based system that I dispise but kudos, not easy to sell this number delivering rather hardcore experience

I know what you meant. I was just messing around lol

Is that good, I thought to be a profitable AAA game you must sell at least 10 million copies?

It's not really a AAA game. Just AAA quality.


That's also not including the millions they will sell on PlayStation when it releases.

 

[EDMIX]

Holy shit! On 1 platform....

Thats fucking wild, this game is getting ready to curb stomp a lot of haters lol

It most likely will by the end of they year, especially after the ps5 release. That said, i doubt Larian was expecting even this much sales.

 

[Tedditalk]

That is ALOT for a crpg. Easily the best selling crpg of all time.

I wonder if the Belgian embassy is trying to get more Chinese companies to invest in Belgium, and are using the success of BG3 to entice investors. Or maybe China requested the information themselves to investigate the video game development scene in Belgium.

Xi Jinping is playing BG3 right now and he can't decide between romancing Shadowheart or Laz'ael. I have him in my Steam friends list.

Its not an AAA game. Some other studios will probably deem 3 million copies sold a huge success for AAA games so 5 million+ is great

 

[LiquidMetal14]

DAM SON that doesn't even include me as I just bought myself a copy today and don't have to play with the kids no more lol

 

[64gigabyteram]

So much for turn based being a "dead genre" and "due to outdated technology of the 90s that it was necessary". Turn based games are great.

nah tactical turn based is great. nobodys arguing against games like this and Divinity Original Sin 2

When people shit on turn based they mean the more shallow iterations found in JRPGs where it's you and a couple enemies on the other side with no positioning (which removes a great deal of what makes turn based so fun)

5 million with no console release is really really good

 

[majorgamer10]

I'll be playing it on PS5

 

[Last Hearth]

It's because Tencent owns 30% of Larian.

 

[ArtHands]

Safe to say its the best RPG game released so far this year. No reason to wait for the console release.

Unless your PC can't handle it of course. It's not like you have a long wait for the console versions.
