Except there are. Massive coverage. Good OVERALL reviews,
Coverage means jack shit. Press reviews means jack shit. Check Steam, Metacritic, whatever and look for the user reviews and scores. The players are the ones buying the game and playing it, not the reviewers that get review copies.
Good press or reviews does not mean success.
A cozy spot on the TOP SELLER LIST several times. I checked the store page around release, before release, and after release. It was definitely on the top seller list. The fact that you say it wasn't there makes you all the more delusional. You have nothing other than some user reviews and upset redditors to back you up. You have 0 numbers.
The fact that a massive amount of people made fun of the game for not being the top sold, not the top most played, etc. around release and I myself when I was still positive to the game spent a lot of time defending the game, yes I'm sure about the numbers and what people did.
You yourself have absolutely 0 numbers, the only numbers there are for anything are the ones you can see via Steam. The other numbers are kept hidden. Otherwise if the numbers are fantastic companies love to tell everyone so.
Heck even when companies are losing money and on their way to bankruptcy they will still say that the numbers are good, so you actually taking the president of 2K's words that it's a big "success" at 300k sold is pretty fucking damn hilarious.
President called it a commercial success
Literally means nothing, especially when he doesn't even give any numbers. He's keeping face, that's it. Even if the initial sales might be decent the amount of players that still play it is not.
But hey, go ahead and listen to the president of 2K, sounds like a great idea. The guy that would obviously not want to deliver any remotely negative news about a game that can still sell. It's like you're new to the business world.
Steam chart drop is pretty god damn normal for any new game release. People buy shit tons of copies, then there is a sharp decline in playerbase. Happens with every online game, ever. But somehow that's unique and indicative of the DOOM OF THE GAME.
This hard and this fast? Yeah sure. 27k peak to 3k peak in under a month sure is normal.
The fact that you're using steam user reviews as proof....holy crap.
User reviews all over the net and people that have played the game for over 60+ hours are posting the negative reviews, which takes up a brunt of them. If that doesn't reflect people's overall opinion on the game then go ahead and tell me what does. Your word? The scrap of a community on reddit?
LOL coming from the top delusional hater himself.
Double the irony, we're in for a real ride with this one.
But hey, don't let me ruin your fun with you and your 2 friends. So long as you 3 keep playing the game is never truly dead. Keep at it and play the sublime masterpiece, commercial success and beloved by almost all gamers, Evolve.
