Assuming Elden Ring marketing blitz starts happening after summer...DeS and BB purchases later this year on Steam would be biggest hype purchases ever lol. They could release em on same day and they would both do north of a million easy.
No chance Bloodborne launches in any other platform before PS5. Plus they just got Demon's Souls out of the door, and I think it didnt sell that well? We're looking at a holiday 2021 launch, being generous.
Elden Ring are the friends we made along the way.
Sorry, wrote that the wrong way, I was agreeing with you, I meant that PC plans won't change just because Sony is about to release stuff on PC.

Quite happy with the results, some of my nominations won and some I didn't expect appeared.

Persona 4 was robbed.
Very happy for Ori and Death Stranding. Controversial as the latter might be, it truly dared rock the AAA boat.
Yeah, voting starts in November so RDR2 was not eligible for last year's Steam Awards.
What gives you that idea?
It made it on best-selling lists that include all platforms.
That sounds like quite a decent performance for a game that can only be played on hardware lots of people can't even get their hands on.
(edit: actually, the lists below do not consider PC, I think. Still, the point stands)

RDR2 as GOTY makes me sad. No doubt the game world is amazing, but it's not a good game at all imo
RDR2? Gross....like you can't even mod the bloody game can you?
And they patched it to prevent it from running on virtual machines. Art is art but this was one hell of a dick move on the technical side.
How does the actual award look like? Has any developers took pictures of it? Is it really high quality?
I bought RDR 2 day 1 and most of my 2 hours play time is running the damn benchmark
And i finished another game today. I started and finished Vane. Interesting little experience, i understood nothing but i enjoyed listening that soundtrack and visuals. xD

RDR2 popularity contest turned out as expected.
Hades, Persona 4, and many other deserving games robbed. At least HL Alyx deservingly won.

Played RDR2 this year so I voted for it. I know about Rockstar's issues especially on PC, but they are still one of the few developers out there who put out games almost worth the full asking price. Had a wonderful time with it.
Will I be able to clear at least 5 games this month?
Possibly, yeah
Possibly, yeah
For his next game...Kojima will have the player walk from corridor to corridor while being spooked by a dead fetus and lady in white.
This game will also win most innovative gameplay award

Please don't mind me asking but I've always wondered how you managed to play and finish so many games at any given time. Do you use cheats or trainers? Do you only play the campaign or do you also finish side-quest/hunt collectibles? How do you do it?Will I be able to clear at least 5 games this month?
Possibly, yeah
I mean I guess it could be a lot worse but those are not really good sales numbers. Sure that the PS5 was hard to get but if you look at the hardware sales. In Japan the PS5 sold 100k+ since that was all the stock that they had and it only sold like 18K+ that is rather decent but not really that good either. It is one of the special new games on the PS5 that you can only play on PS5.What gives you that idea?

I will give credit to the game though since it is the second best selling PS5 game.
And with Europe those 16 place does not seem that high.
There are at least 1+ million PS5 that have been sold (I think that there is more than that actually) but how many copies of Demon Souls have been sold?
But then again Souls games seem to be among the games with the lowest attach rates on consoles. Compared to other SIE games I don't think Bloodborne ever reached 10+ million copies sold. And SIE has something like a 10% attach rate on their games on average, while other companies like Nintendo have something much closer to 20% I think.
I didn't buy Demon Souls because later on it might come to PC but also because you know that in 2 years the game will cost $10USD instead of the current $70USD.
It really sucks about P4G, I only heard the DOOM 2016 OST and I liked some of those songs, so I don't know how the Eternal version stacks up.

RIP P4G.
I am actually surprised about CSGO. I voted for that one since that's the one that I played the most in 2020, and it was going up against Among US, I guess that by the time that voting had come around some people were already getting tired of the game and that CSGO is a game that has been played by millions and even had a concurrent player base of 1 million earlier this year, which is impressive for a 8 year old game.
I guess because of COVID that they could not interview the devs this time around, also If GTAV was allowed to take part in labor of love I'm guessing that one would have won.
It would have been cool had Horizon won the award but it also makes sense as to why seeing how many copies RDR2 has sold.
Also yay for Ori, they got something.
Having a great time replaying the Banner Saga trilogy, I really love these games.
Just finished the first one, I had forgotten so much stuff, gonna be great going right into the sequels this time with everything fresh. Obviously went with the other option in the major decision at the end of the game so that makes me extra curious to revisit the sequels.

This is what I picked during the sale
Also I finished Yakuza: LAD (first game of 2021!) and I'll really miss all those characters, I liked Ichiban a lot and I cannot wait for the next game, whenever it'll be.
Since I got EA Play I tried The Fallen Order but I don't think I'm in the mood for this game atm, so I'll jump into something else.

So Rust is the global top seller after being out for years and 1,1m viewers on Twitch after some known streamers picked it up.
What streamers can do and the basically endless backwards compatiblity on PC can do with games is incredible.

I have Uppers, Daemon x machina, Yu-No, Digimon Cybersleuth, Ys VIII, Trails of the Cold Steel, Disaster Report 4, Rabi-Ribi
Well there's my first completion (and 100%) of 2021. Definitely gonna buy the Prequel DLC when it comes out and removes my 100% with DLC achievements. Hopefully I dont burn myself out of singleplayer games again this year lol
Maybe Persona 5 Royal will win the 2021 award.
