TF2 STRONK

>>15118389

As it should be.

TF2 could legitimately obliterate playerbases of everything by nuking all the matchmaking cancer that was added just to make b4nny stop crying about being banned from servers for demanding to be made administrator because muh comp master, free gibs

Doesn't seem legitimate. Skyrim is only number 12.

what happened to TF2 is a tragedy

>>15118429

They completely raped the art style and you constantly see the new playerbase defend it.

>>15118433

Eat shit faggot. Killing pubs actually affected the game and everyone fucking played on ridiculous wacky races maps and maps with Half Life 2 textures all the goddamn time.

I am so goddamn sick and tired of you fucking retards.

>>15118443

>>15118448

That explains that, I didn't think of the bundles.

I have the file in front of me, any game info you want?

>>15118464

By all means, explain to me how the phong being toned down and paints destroy the game.

>>15118419

It's always in bundles.

>>15118451

>>15118472

What crawled up your ass?

>>15118498

Much higher than I'd expect, honestly.

>>15118498

Bet most of that were the eceleb shill and press copies.

>>15118498

free to play?

>>15118492

I'm fucking angry I can't fucking play Super Zombie fortress because MaxofS2D (Hi Max you fucking namesearching faggot) fucking threw a fit when people found out he made inflation porn I'm fucking angry that b4nny went and cried to valve because "BOO HOO, NOBODY CARES I PLAY 6v6 I CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS OR PLAY ANY CLASS BUT EASY MODE AND EASY MODE 2:HE'S BLACK NOW, AND THE MEAN SERVER HOSTS BANNED ME FOR DEMANDING PRIVILEGES BECAUSE OF MY FAGGOTY ESPORTS" so now every fucking server has to deal with being excluded from Halloween and all the new Achievements COUGH COUGH I mean TOTALLY REVOLUTIONARY CONTRACT SYSTEM THAT WE REDUCE HOW MANY ITEM DROPS YOU GET IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE in, and for the BILLIONTH fucking time I have to hear that BOO HOO, I GOT SHOT IN THE ANUS BY A FAGGOT IN A PINK BEANIE.

MEANWHILE NINETY NINE PERCENT OF THE FUN SHIT IS DEAD AND THE FUCKING FURRIES TOOK OVER VSH AND THE PLUGINS ARE ALL FUCKED.

I'm more surprised with how many games are in top 50 that I never heard of, I never even heard of Unturned before for example

What the fuck is Robocraft and why does it have over 10 million players?

>>15118516

He didn't make inflation porn, he made hyper and expansion porn.

The funny thing is that I only heard of MaxofS2D after he deleted HyperFortress, his porn Tumblr. I've never even heard of that mod you mentioned. Some of his work still survives through an old /vp/ thread.

But everybody knows TF2 is fucked 6 ways from Sunday, it's got 101 different problems from the infestation of trade servers to the community turning to absolute shit,

I won't be sad if it actually dies, it's a shell of what it was many years ago.

>Euro Truck edged out Tomb Raider

Oh me, oh my.

>>15118546

You only know of Max because of his porn?

You're lucky, he's an autistic lolcow. He's an SJW, a brony, a redditor, he was obsessed over GamerGate for awhile and posted on all the anti-GG subreddits, but worst of all: he's a Jew.

>>15118571

NO WORST OF ALL HE TANKED LIKE 9 DIFFERENT SERVER GROUPS WHEN HIS BITCH ASS THREW HIS FIT AND LEFT

>>15118571

And he's working with Warren Spector on the System Shock remake and System Shock 3.

It sickens me how high up some unfinished garbage like PUBG got so quickly.

>>15118574

What were they? Did he make mods or some shit?

>>15118577

On his website it just says he worked "on two alpha iterations of the System Shock 1 remake".

Sounds like he was probably contracted for something minor, not working on it full-time.

>>15118588

He made like 3 different models, some of the custom animations, and harassed them (Server hosts) until they closed the servers to not put up with his bullshit anymore.

>>15118592

And System Shock remake is on hold because the hacks working on it went too far on their scope.

>>15118516

>>15118571

>>15118574

>>15118594

The HyperFortress guy did all this?

Jesus fuck, I remember finding his blog years ago and liking one or two of the things on it. I haven't heard him mentioned until now, I just assumed he was a random guy who made weird porn.

It's a small world filled with very, very autistic people.

>>15118606

He also pretended to be a girl.

>>15118606

Does Dota 2 SFM shit while he doesn't have a job, he virtue-signals in twitter.

>>15118629

Don't forget

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition," 4,398,897 ",489830

and the console sales

I find it very hard to believe those are legitimate numbers

>>15118382

Undertale sold less copies than Goat Simulator.

That ought to shut some people up on how "It did so amazingly well".

>>15118654

on steam*

It's on GoG, and has/had another DRM free version.

>>15118657

>>15118654

and console versions. You can keep riding the 3 year old hate train if you want, but he's already set himself for life.

And don't forget merchandise!

>>15118629

>F2P trash

>Todd's lies

>autism

Yeah, you're not wrong.

>>15118675

Probably a lot less because it's always on sale, but it certainly made millions.

Rightfully so, I've never seen a game start out as bad and generic become something truly special over years of updates.

>>15118675

Wonder how much they wasted on Terraria Otherworld

>>15118688

I'm not sure if you're disapproving of him in these pictures or that you're alluding to him being disgusted by his own fanbase

>>15118685

I just realized in hindsight that was a broad estimate for Steam, but I wouldn't doubt total sales from all platforms would be in the $500,000,000 ballpark

>>15118688

I honestly believe toby had no intention of making a tumblr game.

It just turned out bad for him and now he has to live with it.

>>15118693

Wasn't there some tweet he had where he basically said he wanted the game to die and not turn into a monster?

>>15118693

He's disgusted both by his "fanbase" which is mostly migratory hipsters that don't give a single shit about the game, and the faggots that validate it by pretending they have any credibility

It is genuinely really fucking sad that he quite possibly can never work on anything undertale related again aside from porting it because of getting hit with terminal hipsterfaggotry

>>15118693

He doesn't get to be disgusted when he acts like a huge faggot himself.

>>15118724

He originally marketed the game to /v/, yes?

I remember goatmom threads around 2013.

That was so fucking long ago holy shit

>Nioh

>347,803 players

>in may the developer confirmed they sold 2 million copies

This means about 1/6 copies sold were on PC, despite the port not coming out till half a year latter.

>almost half a million Neptunia players

>quarter of a million Trails in the Sky

Neat.

>>15118737

I'll clarify, he released a demo ages before releasing the actual game.

Let's not have a minute of silence for the least owned game on steam that is actually available for purchase

https://store.steampowered.com/app/848400/Simian_Rising/

>>15118742

>(((early access))) garbage

oh wow how sad.

>>15118753

Valve don't choose what people buy.

>>15118762

Fanbase reflects content.

>>15118571

You gotta be e x t r a retarded to get banned from fucking Facepunch.

24 of the 52 games on the first page are either free2play or had one of those 'get game free now, keep forever' offfers. Putting aside how shitty some games on the list are, its a pain trying to filter those that were most likely obtained for free but never played

TF2 has become such bloatware that even my newest toughest computer gets hitching on it, with all my 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, gtx 1080, i7.

>>15118783

Nigger you can play tf2 on high with a i3 and a Rx 550 2gb. the fuck are you trying to do, run it 2000 times over?

>>15118783

>>15118785

It runs significantly worse than when I ran it in 2012, not to mention the layout has become so clustered it's unplayable. I downloaded modern TF2, then uninstalled it after a day of checking it out.

>>15118783

Last time i played it was around a little after it went free2play. A few months ago i upgraded a lot of computer parts and installed it for a bit just to check. It ran the exact same way i remembered. All the way down to getting SEVERE freeze/stutter for several seconds the first time you get ubered on that session, or opened the inventory or loaded the class selection screen. Its amazing how it runs the same way or worse so many years later and on a much different rig.

>>15118775

There are sites for that, like isthereanydeal, that keep track of pricing history across various online stores. It's a good way to figure out how often something has been crammed in a bundle too. There's also a lot of youtube bait trash in the mix too.

>>15118791

I put a computer together for someone to play it together less than a month ago. The fuck are you on about.

>>15118798

What were it's specs

>>15118785

It's just badly put together, it's not a hardware issue anymore.

>>15118800

i3 7100

Some Powercolor RX 550 2gb

4GB Corsair DDR4 2133 RAM (Dualchannel)

Running off a 5200 RPM SeaGate Hard drive I had laying around.

>>15118810

>4GB RAM

Oh the agony. How does it even start windows?

>>15118814

No, 2 sticks of 4gb ram, running dual channel.

>>15118817

Fuck wait, it's like 5 in the morning

I mean 8gb of ram. But still.

And sage for double posting but Check and make sure you aren't running TF2 of the piece of shit iGPU you have.

>>15118724

It's not really tumblr, he had homestuck on the brain and that was some proto-cancer that hadn't fully metastasized yet. I think he unintentionally spread the disease.

>It's not really tumblr

>gender neutral pronouns for the protagonist

>canon fish girl x lizard girl and those gay knights

>>15118546

>What the fuck is Robocraft and why does it have over 10 million players?

A F2P game that was flavor of the month on /v/ at some point. They then removed most of the content from lower tiers because you're supposed to grind or pay to have any fun.

>>15118918

A hamfisted attempt to obscure the identity of two characters in the story and a joke about faggot bros does not a tumblr game make.

>exactly how many people have the games

>players estimate

>More people have Paladins than Dota 2.

There's something wrong here.

>>15118724

Look, he's a homosuck and has an overrated game, but it's as tumblr as much as DangitRonpaul, OFF and Doctor Who. Just because a bad fanbase attaches itself to the series doesn't mean it was created for the sole purpose of pandering to them.

>>15118940

Dota2 isn't even on the list, though.

>>15118940

>>15118954

>>15118959

The list is a player estimate based on steam achievements. Dota 2 does not have any achievements.

>>15118675

>tf2 i could make a better game

>>15118420

>>15118389

It's one of the oldest on steam and recently became free. TF2 IS SHIT.

>>15118382

How is payday 2 so popular yet the studio that produced it in such shambles?

>>15119037

It was given free on Steam a while ago

>>15118753

SS1 and SS2 are on GoG. They were on sale for like $2 earlier.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite - 53,532

ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 - 126,699

Ultra Street Fighter IV - 1,306,698

Skullgirls - 1,621,794

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII STEAM EDITION - 456,361

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV STEAM EDITION - 61,260

TEKKEN 7 - 541,238

No data on Street Fighter V

Capcom, Namco and SNK on suicide watch.

>>15119037

As >>15119047 said, it was briefly free. Payday 2's pubs went completely down the shitter as a result, as everyone is now a tunnel-visioning retard that wont do objective, help you up when downed or, god forbid, ever trade or even leave a captured hostage alive.

>>15118766

You're retarded. Fan base of what, a digital store? If people don't buy games you personally like then they are not people, is that it?

>>15118819

Don't really get hate that b4nny gets.

>23million play l4d2 and valve still won’t make a sequel.

They really are retarded

>>15118679

This needs to happen because TF2 used to be a fun game.

>>15119074

It's coz no-one bought SFV xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>>15119272

>normalfags have no standards

Sony has sold about 80 mil PS4s at this point, this should not be news to you.

>>15119278

Don't change the subject. PC gamers have accepted denuvo as part of their platform.

>>15119282

And console gamers have accepted having no games as part of their platform, I suppose.

Once again, normalfags have no standards. You don't have to dig for Nier to see that PC gaming is shit. Look at the top games. PUBG is up there, despite being an unoptimized pile of shit that looks like an early PS2 game. Skyrim is up there as well. It's all a fucking joke. You, on the other hand, are simply starting console wars here.

>>15119292

>Still changing the subject

>simply starting console wars here.

>he says while starting console wars

>>15119292

Criticizing PC isn't console wars you dumb nigger. I guess you're starting "console wars" by talking shit on Sony then.

>>15119326

this, it was one of the better 2015 games(not saying much)

>>15119326

It reaching meme status earned it a lot of undeserved praise and success. Memes sell, quality doesn't.

>>15119351

True, but it also has gotten some undeserved hate, at the end of the day the worst part of Undertale is the fanbase

>>15119361

I just don't care about it. I think the game is a dead end knock off of better games that are far worth playing and its creator is stunted and practically admits he has no future in game development. There's so much wrong with that it's hard to encapsulate it in a single post. I've followed developers for decades to see how they've grown, how they've iterated and expanded upon earlier ideas like Ueda and his bonds between characters and his keen taste for intimate interactivity between the world and the player, or Kamiya and his insistence on doing exactly what he wants, exploring his tastes and celebrating them in never before seen ideas in massive games, or Suda 51 and his desire to meld production quality with absurdity and a twisted sense of humor with a dash of realistic disgust.

What can I say about Toby Fox and Undertale? The kid likes Touhou and Earthbound and now the cliffnotes of these games are the entry point into them for 3 million people? If you can't see what's wrong with that and would rather focus on "the game's pretty gud tho" then there's nothing worth discussing.

>>15119272

The problem is you're shitting on PC by making fun of the "master race" moniker that's always been used to assert dominance over console gamers. That instantly makes anyone think of a console fanboy trying to shit on PC because no one else cares about the moniker.

>>15118679

They already hired Campo Santo to work on it

>>15118780

>That video

I'm sorry it ended up this way Toby.

>>15119012

7 years ago going F2P isn't "recently" you fucking stupid moron

>>15118951

>it's as tumblr as Doctor Who

So it became a massive Tumblr SJWfest in recent years?

>>15119385

Maybe you fucked up adopting something so easy to find holes in from a critic that created it to describe the exact thing you're doing, but tongue-in-cheek.

>>15119462

>Half the discussion on Steam Denuvo games is people complaining about Denuvo.

all while putting their sales into the millions because they saw it was 90% off + a dota2 skin if you pre-order now. Someone's offended.

>>15118675

>he thinks 100% from the asked price goes to developers pockets on any game

Steam charges 30% for sales, add to it income taxes for whatever country the studio is located at, count in how many copies were sold during steam sales, plus whatever the splits between developer and publisher are and you will end with more realistic estimate

>>15119460

I didn't adopt the moniker nor care about it. The origin of the moniker is irrelevant. The point is you're obviously calling for console wars if you use a term that only console war faggots care about.

And what is your point, anyway, if it isn't console wars? That most consumers are idiots? Well captain obvious, consider my mind blown.

>>15119334

Only other game that came out that year I enjoyed was Hotline Miami 2.

>>15118724

It was just a surprising hit amongst tumblrinas, just like how halo was aimed at marathon chads but ended up being the most popular game amongst brainlets for nearly a decade.

>Fallout 4 is #33

>All these Denuvo games that broke a million by a huge margin

As if I didn't need any more reasons to hate steam. My only solace is that New Colossus sold so poorly that even weeb games sold more than it.

>>15119272

How much money do you spend per month to play games you already own online with the console you already own own via peer to peer servers?

>>15119514

It's not surprising at all, it aligns quite nicely. From the main character being androgynous to the extremely quirky/ironic/4th wall breaking dialog to being able to flirt with both males and females to subverting gender roles, etc. It was a gigantic tumblr bomb waiting to happen. There's nothing unexpected about it.

>>15119489

The issue I have with all this retarded faggotry is that I can still play my games offline while you guys bitch left and right.

>>15118629

games that had "free weekends" should be noted

How the fuck do more people have Portal 2 than Portal?

>>15119384

>The kid likes Touhou and Earthbound and now the cliffnotes of these games are the entry point into them for 3 million people?

So now more people will play Earthbound and Mother 3, and I guess Mother but that game didn't age well. I really don't see the problem here with people liking games.

>>15119575

Portal 2 had many people that never played Portal play it because of hype

>>15119575

Portal 1 became a big culture hit even among people who never fucking played it. It's depressing how many people never even brought the Orange Box. So many people didn't even bother actually playing TF2 until it went F2P.

>>15118707

>he’s a pussy who doesn’t know how to get himself out of a leftist hole

>>15118429

>Skyrim is only number 12.

Yet, I don't see Fallout 4 anywhere on that list. Didn't Toddler say FO4 was their most successful game to date, blowing away even Skyrim in sales? Either they lumped all the various versions of Skyrim together into one entry, artificially inflating it's number - FO4 made all of it's sales on console - or Todd lied to us.

>>15119623

Spot 32 with 6,601,188 people owning it.

>>15119623

FO4 most likely sold more on console. Since they I think at least tried to bring console modding to that game, I'm not sure how that went however, people that would have bought on PC might have bought it on console

>>15119641

Bethesda games usually sell best on PC because they've been harboring a PC audience for a very long time.

>>15119641

I am sure consolefags liked it but it tells us nothing as you don't have any numbers.

Plus it doesn't really matter. FO4 is fucking shitshow and I am not even talking about the game itself.

It managed to kill all modding community Bethesda gained around their games. There are more people modding Skyrim and NV than FO4.

For end user it has been even worse. Mod breaking and other crap turned a lot of people away from it. Some people's FO4 and SkyrimSE crashes on start ever since Creation Club update:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/1618346571421475711/

Consolefucks might be their primary audience but they are making sure their playerbase hates them.

I am not surprised they decided to make side game in form of Fallout 76 to give them more time to finish TES VI. If they will continue doing as awful games as FO4, they will lose everything.

It is also funny how they acknowledged their writers are shit by making F76 a Rust clone with no story at all.

>>15119654

I hope so because it means they will need to actually fix their shit.

>>15119610

>frames their entire outlook and couches it in another experience.

I don't get it. If they don't like Earthbound then they won't play it. I don't see the big deal.

>>15119687

> even more people who wanna make the Undermeme

I really have not seen much of that happening at all actually, compared to FNAF clones or Minecraft clones people seem to have grasped that you at the very least need some music talent to hope to make "the next undertale".

>>15119556

Isn't Unturned free?

>>15118651

So is this the full list or is there any more?

>>15118419

I own every sega, super nintendo, regular nintendo, sega saturn, n64, gameboy, gameboy color, and strange things like turbographix games. Took me less than a couple of hours to get them all. Glad I didn't drop a single cent honestly. Vain entertainment that can't even hold its novelty for long.

>>15119735

Have you played more than 2% of any of those libraries, mate? Any retard can get rompacks, but it takes actual determination to make your way through all of it. I recently got full packs of consoles that I haven't had as much experience with, like the 7800, PC Engine, Master System and Nintendo's entire handheld line, which i have only surface-level familiarity with.

I've been making my way through all of them, a few at a time, every single one. 99 games out of a 100 are shit, but the few fun ones are worth it. It's a fun thing.

Rompacks are not really something to brag about. Instead, brag about all the fun obscure games you find that no one else on this board has played.

>>15119710

They're out there, anon. Trying browsing the gamedev hashtag on social media and you'll quickly find enough Undermeme wannabes in the works.

>>15119384

You listed Ueda, but how do you feel about The Last Guardian? Is it an abortion we're just going to ignore?

>>15119966

Sure, what's wrong with it?

>>15119972

You'd think a game that took so long to develop would come out to be as good as Shadow of the Colossus or even Ico, but it ended up being an exercise in frustration because Trico is significantly more vague than Agro and the performance is ass.

>>15119826

I wanna say about 10%. But one shouldn't pay for things that are worthless and I still believe in the ideal that file sharing is the way to go. Corporations and governments trying to control things just creates strife within society and if I, a lay man, did something like drive a pizza car for deliveries, companies would justify paying one shit for it because everyone can drive (except in those places that don't have them), but if a company decides to create a vain entertainment, knowingly it can be infinitely reproduced after their initial effort, why are they justified in acting like a victim when they have more power than the pizza guy? He can actually get killed doing his shit job for what makes enough for rent but never to own. I would argue one would be stupid to try to make money off of something free.

It's like here in Florida, people love their st. augustine grass. It's not native to the environment so it constantly needs to be watered (waste), fertilized and kept. All of these things produce waste in every capacity and it never brings you anything worth of value. Vegetation grows here naturally and people kill it for a different type of weed. One that requires input to be and doesn't produce any fruit. A true example of a parasitic relationship between man and a plant. Yet, if one doesn't conform, they're the odd ball.

Going off point here, but I have played quite a few games. I actually first started downloading roms when I was in middle school and discovered what emulators were. I had dial up back then so I'd get home from school and download a rom while I'd do homework and once I was done with it, I'd que up another download while playing the current one I downloaded. On the snes system I probably played over half of them from beginning to end. And tried the majority of the rest up to a point. Nes I actually owned quite a few games for, but it was nice getting rom copies because things break over time and one can always make a copy of their game on the computer.

I played a few sega games as well and the rest were probably less than 2% lol.

>>15119747

>Hilter rallied his own country to murder countless innocents for a few baddies. He did a lot wrong.

>implying that actually happened

>>15119989

>Trico is significantly more vague than Agro

Ok, what do you mean? Trico's AI sort of changes over the course of the game to be more receptive depending on certain factors.

>the performance is ass.

At times but I can't recall any moments where it ruins any game play. Just becomes unpleasant at some moments where it fortunately doesn't hurt the playing experience.

>>15119826

To add on, there was one game I never beat, but I somehow lost it (probably accidentally deleting it along with extra copies).

It was a platformed and you piloted a mech that could jump fly. It was pretty exciting and boss fights were fun too. Been over a decade since I last played it, but if I saw a picture of it I'd be able to recognize it.

I imagine most wont agree with me, but gundam wing endless duel was a fun fighting game as well. Deathsythe being my favorite. Being able to dash dodge was awesome and his uppercuts where devastating if you linked them with other moves. Part of the reason why I played ryu in street fighter and sol in guilty gear.

Trico worked predictably after the first quarter of the game, which could be considered mostly a tutorial/training phase. It goes hand-in-hand with what Ueda's goals were for the game and expands upon some things he's already established. Fits into his portfolio neatly.

>There has to have been a degree a mismanagement, no game like this takes that long to make.

Yep, I imagine Ueda tried to take the Cell stuff as far as he could but couldn't get good yields out of the PS3. I wonder what the whole story was, I imagine it was a development full of strife. Especially because he ended up leaving Sony during the development of TLG and finished it purely as a contractor, just to start his own studio with key Team Ico staff called genDESIGN. Eager to see what he does next.

How'd Witcher 2 do so well, it was awful. The game's more book than game, heavily consolized, and linear as fuck.

>>15120110

why there's no game where you play as a armored wheelchair

>>15119715

Yeah but it has 27 million users/players. If only 1% of those buys something we're talking mad amounts of cash and I'm pretty sure more than 1% has spent money on it

>>15120087

That's just Steam, it probably did a lot better on consoles

>>15120183

There was a lot of decision making within the quests. Especially what you decide to do at the end of Flotsam almost entirely changes the following act.

Robocraft is some minecraft style vehicle game. I don't know much about it, but I had an internet friend who became a GM or something similar once. He was paid minimum wage lol.

>>15118772

It's easy, if you're in a wrong place at the wrong time.

There was some small shitshow with "we want to close megathreads so go make threads on small themes" where some active users started joke threads on HL5 and etc. And they got permabanned.

And after that they reverted their statement on megathreads, and just limited thread max post count to a very small number. But jokers weren't unbanned.

>>15121330

Robocraft used to be pretty Fun now it's just way too p2w.

>>15119272

This is a false equivalence, first of all Steam is DRM in and of itself. A significant portion of it's userbase perhaps unknowingly putting up with even shadier DRM is to be expected if anything. The only way you can tell something using this information about the state of PC gaming is if you also had the sales information of an equivalent title on a DRM free platform, and also knew exactly how many people pirated said game. Never gonna happen though, wouldn't want the goyim to know.

Fucking faggot. $20 is too much for a game because everything is expensive and my wages haven't gone up proportionally. It should be less than $20 because our economy is in a worse state than it was back then, not more.

>>15123126

>It should be less than $20 because our economy is in a worse state than it was back then, not more.

They're also significantly easier and cheaper to produce these days, too, with the ever-growing repository of available knowledge, libraries, engines, digital distributions, etc.

>>15118419

>just steal it

>>15122944

The worth of money may have dropped, but so did the quality of games. Adjusted for inflation and the game industry, never pay more than $15.

>>15121281

I can still play l4d2, so I'm not complaining much. In versus people are touchy and, in general, you will be kicked sooner or later if you're really bad; play campaigns first to learn the ropes. Otherwise a bigger problem is that if one team is worse than the outrage it spirals out of control really fast and thus it's hard to finish a match or have any fun when the opposition is just one guy.

Worst of all very old games that didn't have voice acting had a better story than ones that do. You don't need voice acting. You need to put serious resources into a good story. Seems devs just neglect this, and I understand this because it's more appealing to just develop things and features that are awesome or fun for gameplay but don't really fit into a story well.

>>15124024

I hesitate to ask this, but maybe we could do a /v/ game night with L4D2? I'm sure at least 8 people here have it. I hope they're not faggots.

I didn't even think of that, I guess a lot of them do get paid to promote games just by playing them.

I'm thinking of having a free open alpha (probably for at least 6 months) and allowing players to pre-purchase the game for half off before a certain deadline (my game is an MMO). Do you think this is a good idea? I remember this is what Minecraft did, and early on you'd even get a free copy of the game to give to a friend with your half off pre-purchase.

>>15129511

A lot of them you don't even need to pay, just give them the game for free a bit ahead of release and they'll be glad to possibly get a scoop on something that goes big, plus probably be more likely to show up as first result when people look for a let's play of your game.

Depending on where you host your game you can also just talk to the platform owner, at least for smaller platforms like itch.io. Guy I know got put on the front page because the guy in charge of itch had been following his dev blog for a while and liked him personally.

There lso might be smaller indie conventions you can market at, recently there was Indiego in the Netherlands.

>allowing players to pre-purchase the game for half off before a certain deadline (my game is an MMO). Do you think this is a good idea?

Your game being an MMO already sounds like a terrible idea, but the prepurchase thing is pretty good. Reward early adopters who test your shit, instead of asking them more money like some companies do.

>>15129765

>A lot of them you don't even need to pay, just give them the game for free a bit ahead of release and they'll be glad to possibly get a scoop on something that goes big, plus probably be more likely to show up as first result when people look for a let's play of your game.

I'll keep this in mind, thanks. What about review websites, are there are any that are not garbage, maybe some that are run by anons?

>Your game being an MMO already sounds like a terrible idea

Why don't you like MMOs, anon? They're fun. I just mentioned it's an MMO to give context to the free open alpha idea (it doesn't really make as much sense for a single player only game).

>>15129511

>Indie MMO

NO

>>15129894

What are your concerns regarding MMOs created by indie devs? Also what is your definition of MMO.

>>15129887

Me liking MMOs or not has nothing to do with it although I don't, the problem is that you have no playerbase and apparently not even an idea on how to get one. Your MMO has no one playing it > people see this > people who would play if it had people playing don't play it > your MMO has no one playing it.

There's a reason even big MMOs run by well known companies with millions of dollars in marketing keep failing at making MMOs and going free to play a few months before shutting down.

>>15129934

>Also what is your definition of MMO

MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, which inherently means you need a massive amount of players for it to be good.

>>15129973

>the problem is that you have no playerbase

I agree this is a large hurdle, which is why I'm thinking of offering the game for free for half a year or more.

>MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, which inherently means you need a massive amount of players for it to be good.

My game is PvP and PvE FPS with servers that can handle up to around 300 players at a time (need to stress test this during the alpha). Smaller maps could also be loaded to facilitate lower server population caps, and I guess if someone wanted to play alone versus the environment they could if they wanted to. I've always considered games that have servers that can host 50 - 100 or more players at a time to be an MMO, but I think definitions vary.

My plan was to let anyone host dedicated servers.

The best piece of advice I've heard is that you should be capable of selling your game with a gif. You want someone to look at a little webm on here or a 10 second video on twitter and immediately get interested in your game. Why should I buy your game, no, why should I bother downloading a free demo, or even following your progress? The reason for your appeal must be front and center.

Do you have a unique gameplay concept? Figure out how to demonstrate it unambiguously in a way that looks fun and impressive. If you can't convey what it's like to play your game and why you'd want to do it, maybe you need to refine or simplify your systems. Or maybe your gameplay isn't novel or interesting enough to draw anyone's interest.

How does your game look? Do you have a unique, aesthetically pleasing style? Show it off. Concepts and characters and whatnot are nice to have (especially if you're making a waifu game), but you have to make your game itself in motion look cool. If you can't do that, maybe you need to spend some time figuring out your art direction, so that you can look as appealing as possible with the skills that you have. And once you have those fundamentals in place, crank up the juice.

Watch this trailer and see how beautifully it demonstrates the concepts, the gameplay, the charming art styles and characters of Splatoon. This short video singlehandedly drove massive interest in and anticipation for the game a full year ahead of its release.

Perhaps even more impressive, see Factorio's trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI

That a game of such complexity and autism could be conveyed so simply and clearly is nothing short of remarkable.

Showing off what makes you special and worth paying attention to is the core of real advertising. If you master it, you won't need to spend a dime, knowledge of your game will spread organically. And if you fail at it, no marketing budget can save you.

need2ask Sergey Galyonkin who did the scrape.

I expected gamers would at least be in the billions but it seems they’re in the 10 millions which is really low

Vidya has always been niche. Marketers who make statistics for public or private viewing inflate their numbers with phone users, this is where they pull the statistics about women out of their ass.

I meant at least 1 or 2 billion I for some reason assumed gaming has become extremely popular and everyone that isnt 50+ games at least casually.So I’m sorta dumb!

>Sanctum sold 2 million copies

Way better than I thought, liked that game a lot.

>Sanctum 2 sold 2.6 million copies

This. Making your game look good for a trailer/short clip is 90% of marketing it. Unless you're a mega AAA dev capable of doing the kind of "cinematic" garbage to pander to normalfag retards, stick to this.

just don't fucking lie because you'll be found out

Don't feel dumb you simply fell for the same trap all those investors and parasites fell into and they end up seeing dollar signs that aren't there. Just remember that 1 billion = 1000 million to avoid the trap, despite being a billion dollar industry the money is mostly coming from investors pumping and throwing money at people.

>Just remember that 1 billion = 1000 million to avoid the trap

That's not the trap, that's common knowledge. The trap is that it's annual revenue when people on average buy more than one brand new game annually, and those games cost 60 bucks. 2 * 60 * 10 million = 1.2 billion already, and there's plenty who buy more than that, plus a lot of sales of cheaper games, plus merch, etc.
