Woah REEEE is in virtue signalling overdrive right now.

“so the best selling game of 2023 and probably 2024 can both go in the trash.”

Hahahaha. Not having much success with your whining eh?

Game journalists have lost all their influence and must be malding right now. They've been taking L after L between Hogwarts Legacy, Stellar Blade, this, and First Descendant killing it numbers wise.

The vast majority either don't care about their causes or disagree with their values. I'm sure they'll come up with some other reality though.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

We love to see it. Praise steam. Fuck the morons

 

[Fess]

That's the biggest "REEE" I've ever seen screeched.

No, we don't. Game is good, great, lots of fun to play, I'm not interested in what you're that upset by that probably less than 2% of people even know about.

Yeah about that, what are they even upset about this time? Serious question. Is it that you can’t play as a female monkey king? No monkey gay romances? No dress to wear? Game is from China?

 

[Null Persp]

holy shit this is insane, I bet the asylum is crying right now.

it started with them banning cyberpunk and it becoming a massive success despite the bugs and a troubled launch on consoles.

they are just a very loud vocal minority who have nothing in common with the wider gaming audience.

 

[Plague Doctor]

But... but... the monkey Chinese folklore game about Chinese monsters and myths was not diverse enough. It's harming the noble cause of inclusivity. People should be rejecting it.

I don't understand any of this. The proud Western games journalists warned us about this evil Eastern not diverse game. Said the modern day audience would not like it's closeminded approach. Rang the alarm bells. Why? How?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Not enough women in general or PoC plus the developers rejected an offer from writing consultancy companies to help their game meet the usual messages

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Apes together strong indeed, huh

Don’t mind me, I’m compiling shaders.

 

[Last Hearth]

They are upset because they tried to extort the company for a diversity consulting fee was told to f-off.

Yeah they are piling up the L’s with Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, Stellar Blade, and now this. I wonder if they are noticing a trend yet?

Yeah, being honest I use that forum but they are so fucking annoying with their rules.. “oh you gotta hate this game because of this reason or we will ban you so fast for even talking about it!!” Fucking bullshit..

mods right now have no idea what to do about this game no one wants to make an OT. Shit is funny right now

Gaiff , never doubt at Draugoth . Cheer mate.

No no no don't do that, we already have one O onQ123 on GAF and that's one too many

Those pathetic losers can only find meaning of their lives in the echo chamber.

If you go out and see the Chinese internet, you'll find how much the dev despise their heinous ideology.

I already imagined this would be high because of the crazy benchmarking numbers

It's always typos out the ass in the subject line with this guy.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Concord about to get completely steamrolled by this thing.

 

[Bkdk]

inzoi might break all time record later this year, single player true sims competitor with truly diversified character customizer, you can make hot girls to they/them aliens as well as day 1 mod support. 2024 turns out to be historic with satanic baby inc and woke western devs in complete meltdown.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Honestly, even though this is almost exclusively due to china (the fact that its midnight here and only 6am in europe pretty much confirms this is all from the china release), I have to give credit where credit is due.

A few things:
- One of the few china/south korean vaporware games that actually released
- One of the few next gen games that actually didnt get a major downgrade
- One of the few games from an indie/first time studio that delivered an epic AAA game with insane setpieces and boss battles. SSM take note.
- Old school single player when other major studios are/were chasing gaas trash. ND should take note.
- A truly great action game with next gen graphics proving you can have both graphics and gameplay. something hellblade devs forgot.

Looks like Crimson Desert by Pearl Abyss will be releasing soon. Maybe its time to move on from western devs who have disappointed over and over again as they chase cross gen, gaas, and insanely woke stories with millennial dads, spoiled gen z kids, and lesbian girl boss leads. Crimson desert looks even more insane in terms of scale and ambition. Both are something I wanted out GOW.

This game might still flop in the west but i hope it succeeds for the reasons above. Good to see devs get rewarded for making games players actually want to play.

Say it again. Fucking Say. It. Again

Pisses me off seeing the success of this game with PS bosses balls deep in rancid trash like Concord

FUCK !!!!!

 

[Mortisfacio]

I would assume this makes it to #4 all time. At 1.279 million now, with #4 at 1.325 million. Only 35k more to go and I don't think that's peak. Still morning in China. Unless this picks up steam towards the evening in Asia, it still needs a big surge to break the top 3 all time.

 

[GermanZepp]

 

[odhiex]

It surpassed DOTA 2... Holly shit!!

 

[Represent.]

Well deserved.

Gonna download this tonight. Its crazy how they've just completely embarrassed and annihilated devs that have been in the game for 20 plus years on a technical standpoint on their first real game.

Im looking at you From, this game proves you can have great presentation, gameplay, and graphics. And great art style shouldnt mean trash tech.

Godspeed, China - Time to show the rest of the world up.

 

[fart town usa]

 

[Arsic]

Aside from performance, this game is soooo fucking good so far.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

PlanetSmasher is hilarious. One of the funniest life haters and self loathers in that asylum. I still can't believe that's not a parody account from someone on here.

 

[Dynasty8]

All the REEEE bitching is making me want to buy the game more. Streisand effect is in full force.

 

[Fess]

Not enough women in general or PoC plus the developers rejected an offer from writing consultancy companies to help their game meet the usual messages

Sigh. Do we really need to apply feminism to everything?

 

[Hrk69]

Hahah resetera is having a meltdown.

Fuck them Nazis

I can't stand that place.

It's like everyone there is stumbling over each other to say the most political correct thing

Fucking dick sucking contest

 

[Mortisfacio]

#4 all time now. It's going to need a big surge towards Asia evening to get the 490k needed to break top 3, but dang that's impressive.

 

[M.W.]

Game should peak in about 6-7 hours when China is off work.

 

[VanCityGamer]

“Great stuff, another toxic developer with a rabid fanbase of ‘anti-woke’ sexist pricks (not everyone playing the game, mind you) being reward with insane sales. Really does the heart good.”

 

[Fess]

Yeah they are piling up the L’s with Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, Stellar Blade, and now this. I wonder if they are noticing a trend yet?

When you list games like that it seems like a perfect PR stunt to boost sales to ignore all the things they want.
Has any game they’re upset about failed yet?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Lalala gonna finish more of my backlog first

 

[//DEVIL//]

I am sorry but I can't hold it anymore... no one noticed there is a freaking game in the top 10 called banana ? wtf ...

 

[VanCityGamer]

Not that I’m aware of, no; pretty sure everything they have wanted to fail has succeeded. And a lot of their darling games haven’t done much.

Any dev that is attempting to appease that group is not being smart from a business perspective.

 

[Brigandier]

The rainbow sjw ree ree era clowns are something else can people just enjoy things without making everything so political and being offended over every little thing.

 

[GymWolf]

Depressing that a game made by such horrible devs gets rewarded. Just genuinely sad.

 

[PeteBull]

In their woke clown world they already convinced themselfs its all kkk members who bought it, not real ppl, when u sit so deep in this crazy shit like they are, even moderate views look like far right

 

[Madflavor]

Always bet on monkay.

All good bro, u still got concord and the famous professor from concord devteam, they just launched too, no? Im sure that game sales/ccu will be pure fire, especially considering all that amazing talent there

And they love Insomniac games, fucking hypocrites people.

Don't forget ubisoft games, probably the studio with the highest count of sexual scandals.
