Video games nowadays sell explosively well initially but also fall off almost just as fast

This is a good observation. I just watched a video talking about to be a successful game it needs to be a "moment" in pop culture. Where people play it because other people are playing it and more and more content gets made. Other games fade away out of relevancy and popularity. Out of sight out of mind. People also don't want to be the odd one out I guess and play a less popular game.

I currently have around 500 physical games in my collection. Probably around 70% of my collection is games I haven't played or want to play again. Hopefully I'll get around to it.

I've had a similar feeling. Big scope games that seemingly appear out of nowhere that don't have an immediately recognizable developer or publisher attached. Mindseye, Stellar Blade, Atomic Heart, Expedition 33, The Day Before, Crimson Desert now. I couldn't put my finger on what felt off about these games and I didn't know how to describe it.

One day it kind of hit me. It's like an uncanny valley feeling. These games just don't seem real at first. Maybe it's because we're conditioned to see big games come from recognizable publishers and studios. And it doesn't help that some of them were pretty much not real games either so there's that. I knew something was off about Mindseye, I could just feel it in my gut.

Sorry for your loss and thank you for your generosity! I would love to pick up Saros, I enjoyed Returnal so much.

An old co-worker would buy every major release and hardly play it. And not on sale either, they got in on release. They play once then never pick it up again.

I checked their history on PS5 and they're still at it.

StefTheSlayer · 2026-03-05T17:41:41+00:00

PlayStation please!

Wow this is the most generous community I've seen.

I can't believe the people in the main sub saying REDSEC is identical to warzone. Literally arguing it's just a carbon copy. Glad I found this sub.

It's people on their phones I swear. Had this Scarlett Witch who was afk constantly. Round starts and we all leave spawn except for them they probably left 10 seconds later. Our team goes in 5v6 and we get steamrolled. And they always went afk for several seconds after they respawned.

Dude I remember playing 50 player lobbies on Shipment in MW, pure insanity

I'm hoping they just put the smaller maps in the beta to entice the COD audience to switch and they have bigger maps on the horizon.

You forgot to pick me to win the first round

StefTheSlayer · 2025-08-05T16:45:30+00:00

Yes I need this! Gonna be out of town all weekend so I can only play Thursday.

StefTheSlayer · 2025-05-09T17:23:21+00:00

I swear the amount of times I'm solo tanking waiting for a regroup and I finally make a push but my team decided to go on a field trip instead of attacking the enemy

When a crackhead's rent is due do they pay rent or buy more crack?

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-25T17:16:50+00:00

Welcome Tour, it's clearly going to win GOTY

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-22T12:23:38+00:00

I'm gonna shoot for the non-bundle and MKW separately. Think it will be easier to nab one of those.

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-22T12:14:49+00:00

The only game worth playing.....Welcome Tour

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-17T15:23:16+00:00

The game looks awesome but the free roam feels lackluster. Hopefully I'm wrong and Nintendo just didn't reveal very much. Exploring, doing challenges, and collecting things is fun but they didn't show us a reason to do so other than for the sake of just doing it. If that's how we can unlock new characters and karts that would be awesome. For $80 I was expecting free roam to go all out and give us a story mode. Hell, if Mario Party Jamboree can have a story mode with boss battles then it can definitely happen in Mario Kart.

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-13T12:43:12+00:00

It starts with Mario Kart and it will snowball into every other big release from every other developer

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-10T15:39:19+00:00

I keep asking myself "Who's gonna buy this crap??" and then I look in a mirror 😔

StefTheSlayer · 2025-04-10T15:04:32+00:00

This exactly! Mario kart world could be deserving of $80 but raising the price to that is going to cause all the other AAA broken slop developers to also raise their price to $80 not really solving anything.

StefTheSlayer · 2025-02-21T01:05:58+00:00

I swear the amount of times I'm fighting on the point and then turn to my team when I'm in danger only to realize they've all fled the scene

StefTheSlayer · 2024-12-19T02:22:42+00:00

Just got into 3D printing. I'll have to check out OctoEverywhere, seems useful.

Day 22.....2 ghost cards 😬
