Remij 5,048 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) WTF... Even accounting for errors... it's still clearly over 10M on Steam alone... within the first 3 weeks. I really wonder what the Playstation numbers are.. Edited March 13, 2022 by Remij Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,213 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 pretty nuts. I wonder how much of a part the reviews played in this. Souls games have gotten increasingly popular but never to this level. Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,814 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 It is insane (and so good) how FROM has turned such a niche genre/franchise into an all out mainstream hit with an actual new IP too. Absolutely incredible. Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely incredible. Lol come on lets not go there again. Elden Ring isn't a new IP, much like Sekiro and Bloodborne weren't new IPs. These games are all built from the same framework even if they don't share the same names. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bhytre 2,815 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) That's awesome, westcuck gaming absolutely BTFO No day-1 DLC or pre-order bonus crap, no unlocking things with money or pay to win schemes, no casual Ubisoft crap open world gameplay and crowded HUD Insane amount of content and challenging.

Elden Ring isn't a new IP, much like Sekiro and Bloodborne weren't new IPs. These games are all built from the same framework even if they don't share the same names. First you're 100% wrong, Elden Ring is literally a new IP. As were Sekiro and Bloodborne. IP isn't a genre or a framework. There is a million different games with the same 'framework' (look at Ubi games and 99% of open world games), that doesn't mean they aren't different IPs lol But anyways you're missing the point. This game has broken through to hit full mainstream appeal. Look at the other games it is surpassing, games that hit that level based purely on their IP and name. It is now just below COD. COD btw sells what it sells purely by name, most casual gamers hardly even know about the diff devs. Same as FC, AC, RE, etc. That is sales based on pure IP strength. Elden Ring doesn't have any IP strength, it is a new IP, that means it has literally hit mainstream appeal through the FROM Software name, which is incredible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue that Sekiro is indeed a new IP. But people saying shit like "soulsborne" are fucking annoying. Bloodborne is a souls game. So FROM basically made two IPs in the past few years. Souls games including elden ring and Sekiro. Edited March 15, 2022 by kaz Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I've really "liked" a resident evil since 4. 7 was ok, but the whole fungus thing just yeah that got me. I hope they do a full on reboot for part 8... needs to go back to the zombies and stick with that... not parasites, not fungus. Etc. Link to post Share on other sites
