Ummmm......Baldur's Gate 3, anyone? How about Dragon Age: Veilguard? Those are just off the top of my head.

Don't forget that everyone has a hard-on for Witcher 4.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Dude my GPU is so hard for Witcher 4 the fans started to hum "the bad touch" ever since the trailer ran!

Except for those neets complaining that Ciri isn't "hot" for some reason.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 7 months ago

There are always gonna be complainers. Like, I'm not super happy that Ciri seems to have undergone many plastic surgeries in a world without plastic surgery (but hey, maybe she popped into our world!), but it is what it is. Hopefully they at least contacted the original actress, otherwise I'm gonna be pissed at them, but if she said no, not much you can do.

Idk, they literally have magic.

BG3, yes. Massive success.

Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.

Yeeah.. this sounds the usual "Why, why aren't these games selling?" fans screaming, explaining what's wrong, begging "Guess this kind of games just don't sell"

Dragon age isn't a particularly good example. It was a massive flop.

Why are you citing mechanically rich games that happen to have a story?
