And let's be honest. When it comes to video games and other forms of entertainment how many copies a game sells isn't indicative of quality.
Well I agree and do not agree.
Starcitizen MMO has raised more then 350 million dollars budget and I see it as a massive failure that in worst case never might be released. I dont know the amount of people that have paid for it but the amounts of money people can waste on that is staggering example a space ship costing over 2500 dollats and that is the tip of the iceberg.
World of Warcraft had at peak time when Wrath of Lichking was released and I played it then when it was newest expanison its peak popularity with over 12 million actived subscribers and this feat despite MONTHLY FEE and PC only.
Wrath of LICHKING was the most popular WOW expansion. I like the WOW graphics despite a bit cartoony yes but it hs nice cool artistic flavor.
Immerisive world I could play it for hours no stupd fast travel map or loading screen you really travel and are immersed in the world.
WOW MMO certainly has quality.
Low settings in WOW have low system requirements. WOW grahics have over the years been improved.
Polished no bugs.
PvE and voluntary PvP.
I dont see why I could not play both BG3 and Ashes of Creation?
BG3 offer sinple player or cooperative play to maximum 4 players. BG3 is only PvE and not PvP.
You can play BG3 fully turn based and pause it any time.
Movie like story effects,
Ashas of Creation.
Sub fee monthly not one time buy.
This is a MMO you can not pause combat and it is not turnbased combat.
While there is lots of PvE in Ashes of Creation one of its strongest selling points is the PvP which will have lots of Pvp. You can not play AOC and believe you
can completely avoid PvP in the long run. AOC will have many forms of PvP and also to such scale that has never done before 250 players vs 250 players and this on Unreal 4 graphics engine.
BG3 takes care of my PVE fun though can be played cooperative up to maximum 4 players or single player game. Ashes of Creation takes care of my fantasy PvP fun and it is MMO.
These two high budget game developments.
Solasta and Pathfinder 2 really can not compete with BG3 graphics and cinmeatic effects. Well not to mention BG3 supports not only single player but cooperative play up to maximum 4 players.
I dont see thus Solasta and Pathfinder as direct competion in that way and some people I guess will play all these 3 games.
Ashes of Creation focuses heavily on PvP and no other MMO has tried to create massive Pvp battles on scale 250 players vs 250 players and this on very nice graphics Unreal 4 engine.
No other MMO so far has tried that challenge.
However sales for AOC while it might be truly great came I am worried about the possible system requirements for massive PVP battles if you want high graphics.
Because AOC will not show now in some pre ALPHA state yet what people willl need for those massive PvP battles that have high system requirements that might affect sales reduce it somewhat well and then there are simply lots of people who do not like PvP.
Well and there is the subfee to reduce possible sales.
If BG3 wants to reach truly high sales above 5 million clearly I believe it needs to support consoles also XBOX and Playstation. If it will do that then I believe sales can be way over 5 milllion perhaps even 10 million. Well and I dont see it as 5 million rule on PC only. It could be 3 million or 7 million we do not know.
