You take that back! Vriden has a nice voice.

This is sitting on 180 reviews 4 days after release. Colony Ship racked up to 1k reviews in quite short order iirc before the drop off began, and that game sold terribly according to the devs themselves (there are threads newer than anything on CS on the AoD board on their forum)

Colony ship had about the same number of reviews when their EA launched, you can check the history.


Early access games used to sell a ton of copies, that no longer happens because people got burned too many times + word of mouth.

Still not exactly promising for their prospects. CS was a complete failure and iron tower was the smaller team.

I think it's difficult to project final sales numbers on EA players, there are very different ratios for different games. Colony ship had 377 peak EA players (1381 on release), but they also had a small group of fanboys who would have bought anything. They just couldn't really find any new players.

Greedfall now of course also has the problem of a very lukewarm reception, 54% positive does not create any hype. Really hard to see them coming back from that.

So 225 now after almost two weeks

That’s really bad even if it’s is still in early access.

I'm sure unionizing will help.

That gasoline canister by the fire isn’t going to pour itself.

Spiders is celebrating 1 month EA with a broken update, they need new community managers.

But don't think there is much to celebrate anyway



Here is Greedfall 1

A **** shame. Despite my issues with them they make decent AA games with Bound by Flame being my favourite from there work.

It’s quite sad how badly spiders drop the ball with Greedfall 2,to the point I’m actually concerned that if the studio will be still be around in next couple years.

They are done. After Steelrising and this flop, I don't see how they can survive.

I truly do think that making Greedfall 2 early access did more damage then just releasing it regularly.

[Valter]

**** those numbers hurt. Did they manage to make a game more boring than the first?

[Oyster Sauce]

Runs worse, controls worse, combat system is completely different than the one in the first game and it stinks, terrible character creation, first few hours require you to read subtitles. No aspect of the game gives a good first impression.

[gerey]

It's thriving.

I see the strikes worked out really well for them.

[Finarfin]

Oh noooo, I have to read! What a horror.

[Brother Chad]

Oh noooo, I have to read! What a horror.

You can only get away with making people read if the writing is good.

Otherwise it's a mortal sin, especially if you're marketing to a more mainstream audience.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Oh noooo, I have to read! What a horror.

I don’t mind but you better **** make sure you writing is good.

[Tenshi]

How woke is the original game? I never had the chance to play this one, but I came across it the other day and got slightly interested in playing it.

It's late-00s liberal.

Someone got paid to write "Like a bell, if bells could rot." So no, you don't need to write well.

Yeah...that reads rather pessimistic. They know they are doomed.

Community Update #7 | End of the year and onwards


Dear carants,

As the year draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to talk to you about GreedFall 2 and reflect on our journey so far.

A lot has happened since the start of Early Access. We are still as thrilled today as we were when we embarked on this new adventure, embracing a format that’s as new to us as it might be to you—Early Access.

It’s been a challenging but rewarding experience. While some aspects hit the mark and were widely appreciated, some didn’t, but we expected it. More importantly, we remain committed to building a great game alongside you and listening to your invaluable feedback every step of the way. While there’s much we’re excited to share, some news will have to wait for the right time.

As mentioned in our last Community Update, we have decided to delay the release of Update 0.2.
This decision allows us to focus on implementing significant improvements and fixes based on your feedback. These include the combat system—which is as important to you as it is to us—the UI, character customization, optimization, and many other aspects.

Most of the changes we want to implement will take place gradually. As they need substantial work, Update 0.2 will only be the first step towards this end goal. We’re looking forward to sharing these improvements with you when they’re ready.

We also encountered an issue with recording Alvida’s lines during development. Sadly, for reasons out of our control, the original voice actress couldn’t record anymore, and we needed time to assess and find a solution. We recently met a new voice actress with whom we’ll start recording Alvida’s lines again. It also means we’ll have to record all her previous lines to ensure the voice doesn’t change in the middle of the game. So, you can expect a change of cast for the next update and onwards for Alvida.

We wish we could provide a release date, but we would rather wait until we’re certain. What we can promise is that our priority remains delivering a game that meets your expectations and takes your feedback into account.

Ensuring your voices shape this journey has always been the goal of Early Access.

Thank you for your continued support. We wish you a wonderful end to the year and look forward to seeing you in 2025—a year we’re confident will be fantastic for GreedFall 2.

Happy gaming!

(PS. Here’s a small preview of one of the many things the team has been working on that you’ll be able to meet it in the land of Thynia…)

[Roguey]

Rather bleak seeing that message and then seeing it's had a 24 hour concurrent player count of 13.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Yeah...that reads rather pessimistic. They know they are doomed.

Hope for the best but they really **** the bed with the early access release.

Tbf a lot are complaining about the new combat system. If some idiots can't deal with anything but dodge-rolling, that doesn't mean much.
