Armored Core 6 tops Steam chart, overtakes BG3, “thanks to Elden Ring”
(www.pcgamesn.com)
Never underestimate the insatiable appetite gamers have for giant robot battles. That appetite has propelled Armored Core 6 to the top spot on Steam’s global sales charts more than a decade after the last numbered entry in the series was released, knocking Baldur’s Gate 3 off the top spot.
In a summer filled with huge releases, few could have predicted that Armored Core 6 would be able to find such a large audience. The phenomenal success of last year’s Elden Ring certainly didn’t hurt. Speaking to GameIndustry.biz, Bandai Namco Europe CEO Arnaud Muller explained that Elden Ring has given FromSoftware a “guarantee of quality” among fans.
"Guarantee of quality"... every time I read something like that now I have to think about the state that Cyberpunk was released in...
Has FromSoft ever released a bad game? Legitimate question.
Absolutely, most if not all studios have released at least one stinker.
