Shoutout to people in the other thread fighting about how nobody has heard of this game and that it isn't highly anticipated
I've barely heard about it, and here in the US, I would not call it highly anticipated, but perhaps the story is different in China.
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.
I mean I saw it, but it immediately got filed under "Just another pretty-in-renders soulsy clone". There are so many thousands of them, they're just some background buzz in game releases.
And I'll readily admit, I don't even know whether it is a soulslike, and neither do I care to find out. That's how invisible this game is when you scroll past it, as it immediately mascerades as a game in an ocean of utterly samey titles.
I enjoy a lot of games but don't follow IGN or similar outlets. I did pay attention to e3 when it happened but that's no longer a thing. My news comes mostly from steam store/Lemmy gaming communities/memes Meaning I've never hear of it either until I saw Dunkey's satire video.
I've never heard of it. But we all live in our own spheres
How many of those 1.5 million are from China?
Does it matter? The scale of population makes US literally irrelevant in this conversation.
Ah, yes. The two countries of the world. China, and the US.
That's where most of the gaming population of the world is innit? Excluding China, if a game doesn't have a playerbase in the US it's very unlikely to chart on Steam and is therefore unlikely to be "popular". Only exceptions are games like Football Manager and they are not the norm.
Shit Americans Say. lol
