Nice.

arefx ,

Is this a souls like game?

technomad ,

Similar. Faster paced combat and no blocking.

AAA Chinese game, not surprising that it would be so popular but a majority must be Chinese player as it didn’t get that much coverage in the rest of the world as far as I understand from everyone’s reaction…

China supports in country stuff, most countries do really, so long as quality is comparable, and its been slowly but steadily getting there. Saw an article posted on lemmy somewhere earlier today how a locally made movie is topping their box office while Deadpool and Wolverine isn’t even top 10.

Isn’t this the game where reviewers/streamers(?) are not allowed to mention feminism?

Reviewers were also forbidden from using trigger words such as “COVID-19” and “quarantine”.

Well

I must be sincere, and say I would never expected this

It’s more players than Elden ring or Baldur’s gate 3 at launch.

Skua ,

I don't think that should be terribly surprising. Both those games are targeted at specific niches. They were notably successful for gaining popularity beyond their niches, but they were still niche products. Elden Ring is still incredibly obtuse and will fucking murder you out the gates and just expect you to pick yourself up and try again. BG3 is a D&D game that expects you to know the tabletop version to a degree. Both are awesome, but they're aimed at narrower markets

ABCDE ,

I don’t think the people I know who played BG3 had ever touched D&D. Elden Ring hit a huge audience, many of whom had never tried Souls games before.

Skua ,

Fair enough on Elden Ring actually, I looked up the sales numbers and it did do very well for any videogame rather than "just" very well for a FromSoft game as I had thought

BruceTwarzen ,

Is that true? That’s pretty nuts.

teletext ,

Is it, though? The Chinese “government” decides which games their subjects are allowed to pay, and this game is one of the handful of new games allowed each year.

Crazy. Never heard of it.

simple OP ,

Shoutout to people in the other thread fighting about how nobody has heard of this game and that it isn’t highly anticipated

magic_lobster_party ,

I’m surprised so many say they never heard about it. It was all over the place when a gameplay trailer was shown a few years ago. David Jaffe even made a video about how he didn’t understand the hype, and then took it all back once the trailer reached the boss fight.
