100% BG3 would sell more if it was RtWP.
No, it wouldn’t.
We can't know for sure but what we can be sure about is BGE would sell more if it was both RTwP and TB. 100%
The simplest proof is selling RTwP games vs selling Divinity 2.
According to steamspy, divinity sold at least as well as PoE1, PoE2 and Pathfinder combined.
DoS2: between 2-5 million
Pathfinder: between 500-1mln
PoE2: between 500-1 million
PoE1: between 1-2 million
Sales of PoE2 were so bad that to save the game, they had to implement turn-based mode.
So the turns sell much better.
you know what's funny ?
Comparing sales of a first game and a second one, like comparing the sale of Dos2 (which take advantage of the reputation of the first) to the sales of Pathfinder kingmaker (first of the name).
What's funny ?
You not giving the number of sale for... DoS 1. I'm not really good at this game but after some research, it looks like it was around 500 000.... So.... where is your "simplest proof" ?
What's funny ?
You found a "proof" with stats coming from steam only.
What's funny ?
PoE 1 better stats than DoS 1 (for what I know).
I could keep going with the vacuity of this weak argument.
I may be a little rude, but I'm kind of tired of this argument weakly built. So weak they even worked against themself.
You can enjoy TB and even prefer it but please don't to make it the Messiah of cRPGs.
A lost one, "What's funny ?"
BG2 sales like DoS 2, maybe even better (can't be sure, not my specialty and the approximatively 2-5 millions doesn't help) but it did it at a time where there was LESS GAMERS.
So if we would have to choose a Messiah of cRPGs, it would definitely be BG and it was RTwP (or Planescape Torment ? Still RTwP).
Now please, don't come again with some cheeky "simpliest proof" which are everything except "simpliest" and "proof" cause it's a bad habit.
Btw, can you tell me how do you know that turn-base "saved" PoE 2. As a player of PoE 1 and 2, I can say PoE 2 was far better than his predecessor but, sadly, he suffers the bad reputation of his predecessor.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm asking you to prove your statement because for now it's as empty as me saying "DoS2 just take advantages of the hype".
6 Pages in, did anyone think to reply to the provocative title with "Hey OP, maybe you're the wrong player for the game!" ??
If a BG1 and 2 gamer is a "wrong player" for BG3 it just means Larian fail at some point, greatly.
