Phijkchu_Pikachu May 7, 2026 10:21 PM games

legorhin May 7, 2026 10:24 PM games

from watching gameplay, this never seemed like the biggest issue with the game

legorhin May 7, 2026 10:25 PM games

but this was a vocal complaint so the devs addressed it

Kribbles May 7, 2026 10:46 PM games

what the fuck, you could switch civs?

I finished Persona 1. It's a pretty good game tbh, dunno why it isn't more popular.

Like, you get so many people shilling Persona 2, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone talking about Persona 1 outside of funny dance memes.

spooky mentioned it in a vc, said it's not good unfortunately

I wish it had a demo

legorhin May 13, 2026 4:41 AM games

It'll probably show up in the Jingle Jam bundle next year

legorhin May 13, 2026 5:01 AM games

looks like its a roguelike where you can play the game just fine by ignoring all of the roguelike parts because its just minesweeper

heir May 13, 2026 5:08 AM games

i assumed as much

Spooky Phijkchu May 13, 2026 7:48 AM games

In Toushin Gent, Annoying's affection rating is stuck on 10 for me, ever since I unlocked her ability to go to work. Am I still able to increase it? Does telling her to go to work stop me from getting Annoying Points?

This is the profitability of Subnautica 2

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:38 PM games

as they sell more copies, the publisher is leveraged to lose a maximum of $150M

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:39 PM games

This assumes full-price sales, so it would be a minimum of 12M copies needed to return a profit

Garbage May 14, 2026 8:41 PM games

This would require selling beyond what the original sold right?

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:41 PM games

yeah that purple line is the lifetime sales of the original

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:41 PM games

yellow-orange line was the sequel

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:42 PM games

Subnautica 2 is technically the 3rd game

Garbage May 14, 2026 8:43 PM games

That seems a bit unrealistic, that isn't top 100 best selling game of all time, but that number aproaches.

Dialga May 14, 2026 8:44 PM games

i didnt even know they were making a subnautica 2

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:45 PM games

And this does not include that they spent $500M to buy the developer and spent (Spooky estimate) $150M to develop the game

Dialga May 14, 2026 8:45 PM games

that sounds like a bad investment to make for a IP that has basiclaly run it's course already

Spooky Phijkchu May 14, 2026 8:47 PM games

It's a little murky, I think the last subnautica game (BZ) probably just barely broke even so they probably made ~$50M profit since acquiring the studio in 2021 from latent sales of the 1st game + BZ
