surprised how successful this was since it barely got a mention all the time it was in early access so thought it would have a relatively mild release but no the g*mers heard bear sex and everyone flooded in to buy it.
the g*mers heard bear sex and everyone flooded in to buy it.
I think it's more so that "bear sex" was just joke-worthy enough that people talked about the game that otherwise wouldn't talk about it and news of the game spread beyond its usual corners of the internet. So more people heard of the game and I guess the openness that "bear sex" entails is pretty appealing for a CRPG.
Could it be that the hard core Baldur's Gate fans are OG/serious Gamers and have learned to not pre-order? BG 1 & 2 were released way before gaming was mainstream. Most of the casual gamers probably only care about BG3 due to hype from other gamers who would also be "Never Pre-order" folk.
Its more that no one wanted to burn themselves out on early access before the real thing came out but actually it was the bear sex
My wife found out BG was out. Saw it was a full release price and was kind of like, "meh I can wait". I joked about everyone playing just wanted to edit their character's genitals and she immediately put it on top of her Wishlist.
2.5 million copies sold in EA, but barely got a mention? ok...
