It’s bonkers these games are almost 20 years old already.

Source? According to Wikipedia they’re American.

you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.

It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It’s still headquartered in the United States.

for me this makes them russian. I’m from Kyiv, Ukraine.

I agree that this game doesn’t get as much love as Lost Odyssey. But that is rightfully so. LO is an amazing game.

Based Saber. Probably, saving AAA game devs single handedly.

Vordus,

More like grabbing a bargain; When Embracer bought Saber it cost them more than $500 million. They sold it to Beacon (who are basically just a bunch of investors and one of the Saber founders) for just under $250 million, and are now stacking up extras from the Embracer spending spree while they still can.

On a similar note, who do we reckon is buying Gearbox? My money is on Take 2, because who would be stupid enough to buy Gearbox (Embracer aside) when the Borderlands publishing rights are permanently in 2K’s hands?

Gearbox has Duke Nukem, not that they’re doing anything with it.

I never considered Blue Dragon as a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. Blue Dragon is just a complete different game, with some of the same developers.

It is a great game imo, but it’s also insanely long and pretty grind heavy. I made it through two of the three disc before I sadly lost my save file in a break in.

I later tried again but only made it to disc 2 before just not being able to stomach the grind :/

Chozo, do gaming w Get in there, Helldivers 2's mechs are officially confirmed to be on the way "soon"

The mechs are cool, but I've got a feeling that their use case will be very situational. I'm more excited for the other vehicles that we should also be getting soon.

meant2live218, do gaming w Tekken 8 has a strong start as its first month sales outpace Tekken 7

I’m glad it’s doing well! I’ve never been able to wrap my head around 3D fighters; does anyone have any specific tips for a primarily SF player to adapt to Tekken? I tried 7 and just never got far.

I also have a hard time wrapping my head around it, but I don't think it's a 3D vs. 2D thing. I think it's a Tekken thing. In 2D games, you can generally block low and then react to overheads, and then you'll have a few universal system mechanics. In Tekken, you block high by default and react to lows. You can't crouch-block mids, but you can create a whiff punish opportunity by ducking highs or sidestepping vertical moves. Okay, those are some cool tools to use. Except some moves hit low that look mid. Some moves hit mid that look high. Some moves that look like they can be sidestepped will actually just track your movement. I desperately tried to find some rules of thumb that would help me actually play defense in this game, but the answer I kept getting was that I just had to know what those moves look like and memorize those properties for each one. That's not a skill I excel at, and it's not a hurdle I'm interested in grinding to get past, which is a bummer, because this is most I've ever understood or found a taste for Tekken.

2m copies in a month puts this on pace with SF6, could this be a signal the general FGC has expanded? Pretty impressive

malchior, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 sales figures are letting Remedy feel confident about Control 2 - even if the game hasn't made any profit yet

Yeah waiting for a steam sale.

ghashul, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 sales figures are letting Remedy feel confident about Control 2 - even if the game hasn't made any profit yet

I’m planning on getting it in a steam sale. I guess it’ll have to get to steam first.

woah135, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 sales figures are letting Remedy feel confident about Control 2 - even if the game hasn't made any profit yet

I’d love to pay full price for a physical version of this game if they would release one. Weakening physical sales will only increase the power held by the digital storefronts.

I loved the game, but i refuse tob buy it in Epic. Any guesses on when does the exclusivity end?

SomethingBurger,

Most likely never. Unlike other exclusives, this game was entirely funded by Epic.

GammaGames, (edited )

Unfortunate, I wonder how well it did on pc?

stardust,

Did it even get included in video card bundles to boost sales?

rautapekoni,

My brother got it with a GeForce card so yes.

chloyster,

it appears that Alan Wake 2 is on track to be even more popular than Control, with the 2023 sequel having sold 1.3 million units as of this month, the fastest selling Remedy game to date. “By comparison, Alan Wake 2 sold over 50% more copies and over three times more digital copies in its first two months than Control did in its first four months,”

GammaGames,

Wow! I hadn’t really heard about it so I assumed, does it say what platform that’s for?

DdCno1,

All platforms combined.

Chronographs,

That first four months wouldn’t include the steam sales which weren’t until a year later, I wonder how they compare

stardust,

This is one of the games where I think epic exclusive is understandable. But, due to past and future actions I still won’t buy it from epic, but will happily claim it in a future give away.

Telorand, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 sales figures are letting Remedy feel confident about Control 2 - even if the game hasn't made any profit yet

I couldn’t get into the first one due to the gameplay and my strong dislike of Alan himself, but I loved the story and the universe they’ve created from it. It makes me excited that so many people are loving this, since that (hopefully) means we’ll see more games that link to each other!

I appreciate AW1 but the gameplay was pretty repetitive and feels dated today (imo). 2 is a lot more enjoyable

This is going to be the goty when it finally releases on steam in 2035

You think that's the year the Epic store closes?

stardust,

Depends entirely on Fortnite’s continued dominance.
