Only time in X amount of years that Atlus had been challenged and 33 beats Atlus combat now for me.Yeah, gonna be hard to go back to regular ol' turn based ever again. The combat is fantastic and lots of fun.
Definitely leaps and bounds better than anything Atlus has produced in terms of combat. It also shits on every Final Fantasy released in the last 19 years.Only time in X amount of years that Atlus had been challenged and 33 beats Atlus combat now for me.
Probably does 100K+ today.89k right now and climbing. Yesterday at the same time (11:00 UTC), it was 77k.
Easily. I'm hoping it beats Granblue Relink CCU peak of 114k.Probably does 100K+ today.
Well I'm happy for Ben Starr that he finally got to voice act in a Final Fantasy game!Japanese Twitter/X reactions about the game have been interesting. Both awe and praise as well as some being angry towards folks voicing frustration at SE for abandoning the turn based gameplay in main entry FFs. Some have even called it "Final fantasy 17" or "The true FF16".
Oof.Well I'm happy for Ben Starr that he finally got to voice act in a Final Fantasy game!
Dig this track by Lorien Testard:
Reminds me a bit of Astor Piazzolla's Libertango:

There's also apparently some claims about it selling out at various online Japanese retailers like Yoboyashi and Rakuten (due to low stock).
Gothic, Commandos, Blade of Darkness, Kingdom Come, Stalker... Dude where have you been, europe has been making cool videogames since forever.I'm also glad France/Europe is gaining more recognition
Mate, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. Of course they've had succeses, big and small, in the past. I wasn't trying to say EU is new to the game. I was specifically talking about more contemporary smaller and AA studios.Gothic, Commandos, Blade of Darkness, Kingdom Come, Stalker...

I hope it surpasses Granblue.
smaller and AA studios.
117k, 4pm in Europe, morning in the US. Let's go for 125k.
I love that Jason and his media friends vision of the industry is that every game should be like Veilguard, Suicide Squad, and Concord…. And they get repeatedly rejected by the open market.
Have you heard of this company called Larian who made the best crpgs on the market called Divinity Original Sin series and Baldurs Gate 3? Have you heard about CDPR who were still AA when they made Witcher 2 and 3? 4A with Metro series? KCD1 &2? Disco Elysium? Alan Wake? Hitman? and many more. Literally the biggest franchises were made from Europe by AA studios before being bought by the big evil American corporations or published.

120K CCUs on Steam.. With over 1M+ sold, likely means splits are probably something like:
PC = ~475K
PS5 = ~550K
Xbox = ~75K
Game is doing incredibly well on PC and PS5 by the looks of things. I wonder how it's doing on GamePass?
That's true about Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3.Going to update the OP once it reaches its player peak for the day, which should be within an hour.
I'm really curious to see how it will perform in the second weekend though. Based on the very good word of mouth, there's a good chance it will have a higher peak CCU in its second week, something that happens very rarely (off the top of my head, the games that have done this are Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3).
Man what a fucking tool. Maybe this is another "rare incel victory"
The problem is, I'm certain that guy would agree with youThis is real "DEI" bullshit that affects real people. But if we are going to start pointing out white males as a problem simply because they are white and male then how about we start with this guy....

wow, what a brave warrior. Casually tossing around insinuations of racism/sexism against people he doesn't know + scoring internet points for hollow virtue signaling. I'm inspired by his great personal risk and sacrifice in the name of justice, he's like a modern day Rosa Parks.This is real "DEI" bullshit that affects real people. But if we are going to start pointing out white males as a problem simply because they are white and male then how about we start with this guy....
