And my friends won't leave pubg, can't get roommates to join anymore, democracy is failing (wish it was a helldivers reference. It is not)
But palworld and helldivers were two of the most fun I've had this year on games. Sucks my social circle now just doesn't game like how I would like...oh well

DaMist330d ago

I'm there with you! i miss the 360/ps3 days where my circle of friends liked playing coop games.

I have almost never been able to get my friends to agree to play the same game together, they always want to play the same games all the time. Then again, I'm probably the more adventurous one amongst my friends, I just accept that I'll be playing more of these games on my own.

I'm pretty sure Vtubers and streamers are to blame for this, I know I've bought more than one or two games because I saw a vtuber/streaming having fun with it.

10 million players for Atomic Heart, nice!

Does this mean we might see an Atomic Heart 2? Crispy Critters!

NovoSlev2d ago

They're launching a new publishing label, Mundfish Powerhouse, but I wouldn't be shocked if they'll be using that to self-publish Atomic Heart 2 - hopefully!

It's on GP. 10 million players and a made another studio? So Did Gamepass help or contribute in making another studio for them? I know its on other platforms which also helped their new venture.

Boy_the_CowRoy23h ago

10 million? Hard to believe for a game with only 400 people playing this game currently and a all time peak of only 37k on PC. Is the difference in popularity of this game on console and PC really that big?

Well done Mundfish, I had a fun time with this game... apart from the 2nd dlc. Great world building, a solid storyline and Bioshock style gameplay. Looking forward to what comes next.
