You kind of proved the point of Clair Obscure, they just dont make good games in the west anymore. And especially the action or rpg genres. Its when something like Metaphor, BG3 and Clair come along they break the charts with old and young players. Though Metaphor is really Japanese still and couldve been GotY it was that good. Most of the list is Japanese and old games, all of which are still great today if you can play them. Clair just proved that by doing everything right the gamers wanted in a game, and none of the devs had to give up who they are, or try to inject politics into it all from the real world. And I hope this team stays that way and wish them sucess.

To be honest was hyped for a few of these until I got to see the work done on them and the direction they went. Was really hoping the Blood of the Dawnwalker would be the best of 26 or 27 but its looking on the boring side of things, and figured it would be great coming from the guys who left CDPR, maybe they just need some time to flesh out better gameplay. And speaking of CDPR they super disappointed on the direction, all the bs they are putting in, and just doesnt even look anywhere near a step up from Witcher 3, and already turned me off from buying it on that alone. But you add in all the new devs and Mary Kenny and that pushes it over the edge bc all of her work has been trash activist stuff that ruined the game and that is enough for me to not buy a game with her or any of her shaved head army of crazy feminists. But maybe Gothic will turn out ok and playable. But like I said was wanting some of these and now I could careless. Unless they show something that changes my mind, but its highly unlikely at this stage of the development.

I say 4 or 5 million is all they get out of this long haul. They have become liberal propagandists, and the stories and characters all follow suit and very Ubisoft repetitive fluff a lot are using which those trends ruined Ubisoft. All the hateful stuff the devs have done and said over the yrs. The studio is full of these like minded individuals who now get away with whatever bc they control the companies and hardly any accountability takes place. Much like communication about what they are working on, the joy of making them, and it's pretty much become silent hate and a clip or them saying what beautiful emotional story of influence they made, cheesy and full of cringe and its trailers they finally put out. Nothing like the days of the old when the industry started and a dev or CEO communicating directly. I guess that's why all these new indie studios see more success today bc they make games that are just that, no cinema or let's go for my graphical click movie, and they tell you what is going on step by step and happy and excited for you to get a chance to play it.

Lol their charts lol and it could be ten copies in a region. Anyways retail isnt happy at the moment and not seeing 50k being moved, or 3k moved either. Since 6k refunded since the dev opened their mouth in hate quite a bit. Amazon and Walmart especially.

Yeah, nothing is touching Clair Obscure, and I love the New Mafia game. And had a few others this yr like Yukuza Pirate. But Clair Obscure wont be beat for a long while. Just glad to see game studios finally listening.
