Really it’s impressive that the show has got almost the same number of people playing a 9 year old RPG as people playing one of the current multiplayer hotness of 2024

Didn't the Edgerunner show do the same thing with Cyberpunk 2077?

With that and the Fallout show, it does show that there's a benefit to making GOOD shows based on games. (If only the Halo show was good.)

I’d say with 2077 it was more about redemption after updates and giving a negatively received game a second chance but yeah there’s definitely an effect.

And also the Halo show did make me play MCC, cause I went “well Reach did this better so imma go play Reach” lol

There was an immediate jump in players after Edgerunners. Just like Fallout

Ah the innocence of thinking fallout 4 at release wasn't hated more than cyberpunk at release

Fallout 4 was criticised, but to call it innocence to compare it to 2077 which was forcing platform holders at scale to handle mass refunds is not a realistic comparison lol

It wasn't. Sure it was got a lot of complaints due to the watering down of RPG elements but in general it got mostly praise.

Cyberpunk on the other hand had warnings put up on digital stores and sales for PS were stopped entirely for months.

People genuinely cried and cried about how it ruined the franchise. Yup, franchise is super dead
