Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
Tears of the kingdom is a typical Nintendo game. Fun, but very mid and extremely safe. The thing with tears too is that its 80% recycled content from botw with one new very interesting gimmick. It’s a creative gimmick but one gimmick does not goty make.
Edit: as for starfield I have little to no interest in it, it’s cool Bethesda is making a new ip but as a rule, Bethesda games are pretty mid as well. The only reason people still talk about skyrim is because of how moddable it is. It would have fallen into obscurity otherwise. It’s a nice exploration game similar to the Zelda games, but that’s all it really has to offer outside of the mods. But because of the mods it has infinity replayability. No two games are alike, and if you want. You can completely change your experience.
I dont know anyone who has recently talked about tears, let alone play it. It’s no elden ring that has dominated my feeds the entire year it came out and even still finds its way in without searching for it specifically. Out of curiosity I checked twitch streams at peak hours and tears had 3k… when stardew valley had 6k. It just fails to really cement itself. It’s a typical Nintendo experience. But like…how many endings are there? how many ways can you play link? What’s the name of any new npc? The robot thing is cool but other than that it’s just… breath of the wild.
