That isn't how that works. Those statistics are per unit sold, not per started playthrough. If your account completed a step once, your copy counts towards "completed".

I was more excluding the US and Japan so people give credit and attention to other countries.

Also I recognize the fallacy that a lot of big games now are really international efforts.

I personally see remakes and remasters as games developed not for the players of the original but for the millions of people that have become gamers between their launches.

There is a crazy crazy amount of gamers that will only buy new, backward compatibility means so little to (probably) the majority of game players (not ''gamers'' as such)

Giving the new generation of gamers a quality game is not a negative, I personally have never and never will buy a remaster on the same format that I played the original. but if it can give me the same experience I felt 'back then' in a different environment, I'm all for it.

I also really like that my grandkids can play some of my best gaming moments at the same level of technology advancement for its time that I had. In the sense of I said 30 years ago 'wow this looks so real' and my memories remain of the games looking life like while in reality its block pixelated crap compared to today, where they will play and say 'wow this looks so real'

I think resident evil 2 had a rare GameCube remaster, then the re2 remake after that.

Similarly, shadow of the colossus got a ps3 remaster, then a ps4 remaster of the ps3 remaster.

Not quite remake of a remake, but I'm betting we'll get there some day soon.

I am one of those steam players that didn't finish it. I heard the story and gameplay is good. However, there are too much mechanics for me it has the GTA & fallout 4 feels. Just didn't have time to understand and worry about a lot of it i.e. what clothes to wear, the settlement, eating food, hunting for craft etc.

Imagine a Mr x style nemesis who hounds you through the city, not just at random events

Imagine If they kept the majority of locations that were cut from the game

It really did feel like a dlc, be that the case I wouldn’t have had an issue with it…for a dlc

The Xbox 360, it really revolutionised how I play games online and the experiences playing cod4 and mw2 on it will live with mW forever.

The n64 is mu childhood nostalgia console though

That’s sterile AF

i really like this room as a games library/arcade.
that said, i don't think i could do my primary gaming in this room, it just doesn't look like a room i could really relax in. maybe it's just the camera angle, but everything seems very high and closed in.

I completed the game as all characters expect amara, and i liked only few parts, most planets were just big open areas and i had feeling that geting somewhere took ingame weeks, and story was for my taste too much complex, and last DLC ( arm race and the echocast of mayas apprentice- i dont remember her name becaus i didnt liked her), was just cash grabe from my point of view, Long stroy short, i like BL 1 more then BL3 even that BL1 is less colored

Yeah RE2R was better but RE3R isn't worse just because there is a better game out there.

By itself it's still a good game. Just not as great as RE2R was. It was a good game imo at least.

It is just abysmal now. It went through years of fairly gradual power creep, then a disgusting power spike with Fallen Edelgard, and now every single new prf weapon's description is paragraphs long.

Portal

In comparison to the original and quality of the re2 remake they really did a not great job, there was fun there but it felt very on rails

Ah yes, the famous "best selling video game" metric

11bit let's go

Casually ignoring Factorio (3.5m copies) and ARMA (2.6m copies)

My man, prepare to get down voted to oblivion by the hive mind. I am paying my respects to you.

I totally agree. When I first played Metro 2033 I dropped it pretty much instantly as, like you say, I was more used to FPS campaigns at the time like CoD and Halo. It was only until I saw a friend playing through that I realised that FPS could be a great way on telling interactive stories. Picked the game back up and got hooked!

I always think that I want something like this, but then I think of all the dusting. No thanks.

Looks neat though.

Well done.

Not really, I would say the opposite, the earlier chapters are a lot more boring and this graph actually shows it, there’s a huge drop off in chapter 2 and chapter 3 which makes sense as 2 and the start of 3 are a drag imo. The later ones seem like more people keep playing.

You can't save too often.
