This is one of my favourite games ever. One of those I wish I could erase from my memory so I could play it for the first time again.

Also very disappointed about all the bullshit with the sequel and the devs.

I’m a little shocked by how few of those I’ve even heard of

echodot,

I’ve heard of four of the games on the list and it’s the four you would think.

Rusty,

I’ve only heard about Clair Obscur because of the AI art drama.

echodot,

I haven’t heard of anything on the list until we get to 8, and I only recognise the name I have no idea what the gameplay is like.

Damn, have a look at each of them, there is some excellent gaming here.

fakeman_pretendname,

Absolutely, I plan to :)

After genuinely laughing at this, I anecdottaly remember my father asking, “If your home sick, why are you playing vidya games?”…it was ‘Rise of the Triad” at the time…

I also added a shader pack for myself. I’m not usually big on these as i feel like they make the game kind of fuzzy and crank up the bloom

Same. I like the real time shadows and water waves, but the extreme bloom and sunshafts most shaders add are just not for me. I like being able to see my screen!

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the bloom ended up getting to me, along with the TAA fuzzing everything so i just went back to vanilla lighting. On the plus side, the hydro electric dam i’m building in create doesn’t nearly cause my PC to crash anymore with how many water wheels there are

2 mininap mods? This is the level of greed they talk about in The Bible

I was trying to get them both to work for the players who wanted each. Journey map was having issues, but i got it sorted out. Unfortunately i forgot to remove it though. It’s kind of grown on me in a stupid way though, I’m half considering keeping it for shits and giggles

Create is such a cool mod. I wish it was around back in the days when i played nodded Minecraft.

It’s like the only mod keeping me from making this modpack into an Attack of The B-Team server. I love create so much

Is it just or is anybody else excited to read these daily games, it’s kinda relaxing.

It’s amazing just how much better games have been from indie devs and smaller publishers. I don’t see a single game from EA, Ubisoft, or Activision on there.

happytortoise,

Indie devs don’t have to deal with interference from suits who are obsessed with cost cutting and wholly out of touch with what people want

mic_check_one_two,

Cost cutting and designing for the lowest common denominator. Suits are afraid to take risks, because they want to sell to the widest possible audience. So they end up playing it safe and making bland milquetoast games that all feel exactly the same.

imecth,

Steam reviews aren't really a good quality metric, a 6/10 game can have 95% ratings, it's the rotten tomatoes of video games.

WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.

I’m pleasantly surprised that it takes two did so well. I hope it shows publishers that there’s a market for couch co-op!

Scrollone,

Too bad their newer game (Split Fiction) wasn’t that good. I read good reviews about it, but when I played it it was completely disappointing: stupid story, repetitive games, no “aaahh” moments like in their previous games.

You can hate me for saying this, but there’s no way Minecraft shouldn’t be on that chart. If this data is right Minecraft Revenue and Usage Statistics (2025), the sales between 2020 and 2023 would be ~100M.

Davel23, (edited )

I suspect these are the best selling games which released between 2020 and 2025. For instance, Breath of the Wild has sold about 33 million copies, over 10 million more than Tears of the Kingdom but was released in 2017.

@Unattributed@feddit.online avatar

If that’s what they are counting, then the graphic should say that…

ColeSloth,

The sentence itself, could be taken either way, but any reasonably intelligent gamer would be able see the list has only games released since 2020 and know which way to take the sentence.

Unattributed,
@Unattributed@feddit.online avatar

There’s nothing about this that says “Best-Selling Video Games Released Between 2020-2025”.

And, the tagline “Where Data Tells The Story” really means they should be explaining exactly the data they are presenting. Accurate framing is every bit as important as the information… You can’t assume that two people looking at the same piece of information are going to interpret it the same way unless it is properly framed and presented.

ColeSloth,

Sorry you couldn’t put two and two together in the gamers instance.

Unattributed,
@Unattributed@feddit.online avatar

Oh, I get it…but my point is not everyone will get it, and the information is inaccurate. Sorry you can’t understand that data presentation isn’t just about gamers…it’s a much larger issue these days… And this is just a really good example of it being handled badly.

ColeSloth,

You’re taking this instance of gamers far too seriously.

Odo,

Their source is this page on the Video Game Sales Wiki, which does say “The following titles are the best-selling games released in the 2020s, as of 2025.”. That’s how I read the headline, but you’re right, it would have helped if Visual Capitalist had clarified by including that bit of info.

I had no idea Animal Crossing was that high. It’s a stupid game with no point to it… and I can’t help but play it 2-3 times a week, even if it’s just to check in. It definitely has its moments. I gave my wife shit for paying $60 for it, and I played it daily for most of the year since we got it. (She dropped it after a couple weeks, which tanked my progress since only the first player can advance the island. We started over with me starting an island and she played here and there. Then she quit, and I wanted to start over again… and she hasn’t used the new island yet, and I’ve had it for over 7 months now. It will be my forever island.)

And Hogwarts over everything but Animal Crossing? That’s kinda wild. I did not think that game was that big. Currently playing it, it was recently given away on Epic Game Store, I wonder if giveaways count (probably not). It’s basically the Harry Potter simulator we’ve all wanted for the last 20-25 years. Whenever those books and movies started coming out. Except it doesn’t have Harry Potter, or anything from the series but the places.

Well. I have about 1500 hours in AC and around 160 in Hogwarts. So those are probably both my most game hours.

Next is probably outlast trials. ~100 ish I have an eclectic taste in games.

AC is a cozy designer game. And you can play with friends. It was the best game for a pandemic. Not just a girls game either. Half my guy friends played the hell out of that game. I also was a AC new leaf fan so I was so ready for new horizons.

Its not that different than games like Minecraft. I think it appeals to people in similar ways.

As for Hogwarts.

For a lot of us millennials who grew up with Harry Potter ,the game felt like being in a Harry Potter movie. It was a beautiful game at 4k. Like I couldn’t believe how beautiful every square inch of the castle was. I spent a lot of time exploring. I did literally every single side quest and found all the demiguise statues. And all the items. And all the animals. All the mounts.

I do believe there was 60-80 side quests ? Something like that.

That’s how I spent 160 in the game.

I get that a lot of people don’t want Rowling to get any money as she is anti trans.

Rowling had nothing to do with the game aside from owning the IP.

No input or anything on the game.

I’m not here to defend her.

I will say though that a very large portion of things we love and that bring us happiness are tainted.

And we have to decide for ourselves if we can separate the art from the artist or not. And it’s a personal decision.

Examples. Walt Disney was antisemitic.
Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in wonderland was a pedo. Bill gates was a visitor of Epstein’s Island.(Creator of windows) A shit ton of actors and musicians are pro Israel Zionist. A lot of sports players have domestic battery charges. Alfred Hitchcock was a bad guy (me too situations).

Speaking of. Harvey Weinstein was part of many many movie productions.

I’m not excusing any of these people nor their behaviors.

What I’m saying is. We all get to choose if we want to separate people from their work.

And some will and some won’t.

And I don’t think judging others just because they bought the Hogwarts game and love the Hp universe, is fair.
I’m certainly not ok with her statements on trans topics.

However I’m not giving up something I love. I can separate her from it.

You too, likely still enjoy media by a shitty garbage human.

Cause there are a lot of them.

VitoRobles, do gaming w Commentary on taking feedback as a game designer, from someone who worked on the original DOOM.

My favorite thing about Sandy Peterson is that he is a Mormon. Now that I like that he’s religious. But when he was applying to ID Software to make Doom levels, they were concerned about his religious background. Then he said his famous line “I have no problems with the demons in the game. They’re just cartoons. And, anyway, they’re the bad guys.”

But when they said, “Well at least you’re not like one of the crazy ones who carries a card.” And Sandy whips out his Mormon card.

Fuckin’ A.
