Playstack and Cold Symmetry have just announced that their Souls-like game, Mortal Shell, has sold 500K copies on all platforms worldwide.
Mortal Shell is a deep action-RPG that promises to test your sanity and resilience in a shattered world.
“Your adversaries spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision, and instincts. Possess lost warriors, track down hidden sanctums of the devout, and face formidable foes.”
The game is using Unreal Engine 4 and launched exclusively on Epic Games Store. Naturally, and like most games releasing exclusively on EGS, it is coming to Steam one year after its EGS release.
Lastly, here is our PC Performance Analysis for this game.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Great milestone!
Didn’t sekiro sold 2 million at this point?
Sekiro is from a well know studio and publisher, and it is been around for longer. Different standards.
Sekiro is still obscure, even compared to Dark Souls and is more relentlessly difficult
“Sekiro is still obscure”.
It isn’t, and being more difficult or not is irrelevant when talking sales.
Didn’t Sekiro was avalaible on Steam on release ?
Do you think Valheim would have sold 4.2M copies in 1 month on Tencent Store? Just think about it…
Yes, Sekiro was available on release
at least they will get money in advance from EGS for exclusivity deals, and maybe get 4.2 Mill of copies on Steam when they released it there in 6 month. if thats what the devs after after for their own good, so be it, get that epic/tencent money, nothing wrong with that
Hell no, they won’t get 4.2M on Steam on release 1 year later! Forget it!
The fact that you’re just too stoopid to understand this f*cking sh*t show doesn’t change reallity.

“Do you think people will believe me if i cherry pick data from one single game and neglect all those games released on steam that turned out to be failures?”
Most games that don’t suck on Steam sell very well.
But sure, “Random hentai trash of the hour” totally proves him wrong.
A lot of games that suck can be good sellers on steam. This Valheim for example looks like hot trash.
I saw this guy on Videocardz posting like a normal person. Not these silly one liners like he does here. imo this means he has no respect for the commenters here.
Are you serious? I had a feeling he does it here for the effect. Sadness
Yeah. It surprised me when I saw it but his comments were lucid and had knowledge. I made sure it was him before posting above. I can’t check his profile for where else he might be posting but his profile does say that he has been a Video Game Analyst since 2003.
dark souls variants are cancer to the industry
Epic/Tencent are the cancer of the industry
Why single out just this genre? Every sucessful game will spawn dozens of clones, it’s just how this industry works.
Because this is one of the few that’s lauded needlessly and pompously by the stupid people who play it as somehow making them superior to other gamers.
You don’t see Total War players like “Total War is the best strategy game, only real gamers play Total War.” much less acting like “It’s so difficult and I’m so good for playing it.” Especially considering Dark Souls isn’t the genius masterpiece they think it is. It’s a poorly designed game – all 3 of them – intentionally built on outdated mechanics and held to low standards, that people are pretending is great because of it as if it was intentional.
Know why there are 200 million Tetris clones? Because it was a masterpiece of game design.
“Know why there are 200 million Tetris clones? Because it was a masterpiece of game design.”
lol, you accuse Dark Souls fanboys of being hipsters (fair enough) then do a 180 and become a hipster for Tetris? The clones exist because they want a piece of the money, nothing more, nothing less.
Where is the ray tracing update?
Ahahahahah 500K on all platform for this game is just LAME!
PC sales should be around 50-100K with EGS…
Lucky they got Tencent’s dirty money for the exclusivity!!
Its an indie game bro, chill
Also they dont have massive marketing team like cyberjunk 2077
Ahahahahah and Valheim is not an indie game maybe ???? Mortal Shell would sell 1M on Steam at this date. Fact.
Got Eeeeeeem! ?
Those games have different appeal, marketing strategy, and off course the luck factor, just claiming muh Steam won’t cut it, as if there is no good games there that failed to sell well.
Those numbers are hard to come by for indie games, for every minecraft there are dozens of failures, fact. How many Souls clones even came close? I’m thinking maybe that crappy game Lords of the Fallen who managed to sell more than 2 million, but only because it was the first Souls clone to join the bandwagon.
“Lucky they got Tencent’s dirty money for the exclusivity!!”
This is one thing market libertarians don’t get, individual consumer power is at an all time low, EGS deal could be equal to 100k-200k consumers put together or more, and all you can do is cry about dirty commies like a little b#tch.
Context for those who are reading this… He loves Xi. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6f046f3177e908048657f37867dc67a58f555214fe18162e671f64badc5e7aa0.png
Show me on the doll where Xi touched you, can’t be worse than your bris ritual…
^^ Communist
^^ Communist
One thing i like in jewish culture is how you guys constantly crap on each other in order to advance your interests. Don’t think i forgot how you where defending Antifa and ADL last time we argued.
> Antifa and ADL last time we argued.
[citation needed]
I think you can find the correct quote in H!tler’s book His Struggle (Mein Kampf) when he talks about jews pretending to be stupid and forgetting what they say by the next day. But if you really want a citation you can help by making your profile public, because i’m not a stalker that print screenshots in order to get me banned, doxed, etc.
So, you got nothing.
Communists are always lying.
Need i refresh your memory when you said that only a dictator would designate Antifa a terrorist organization while defending Trump’s most straight lie? Why don’t you say what you think about antifa? last time i asked you about your position on some of the things you ask for citation you run away like a b!atch.
> Need i refresh your memory when you said that only a dictator would designate Antifa a terrorist organization while defending Trump’s most straight lie?
Yes, please, citation would be lovely.
> antifa?
My opinion about them is the same one I hold of communists and neonazis, that they are garbage, and are intolerant filth. As in, sc**m in the face of the earth. Antifa, communists(you), neonazis, et al, are all the same sh!!t, only different branding or bag.
> last time i asked you about your position on some of the things you ask for citation you run away like a b!atch.

“My opinion about them is the same one I hold of communists and neonazis, that they are garbage, and are intolerant filth. As in, sc**m in the face of the earth. Antifa, communists(you), neonazis, et al, are all the same sh!!t, only different branding or bag.”
So what do you think about Trump saying he would designate them a domestic terror group, but never did? And since the topic is Antifa, what do you think about them helping Kurdish militias in the Syrian civil war?
> So what do you think about Trump saying he would designate them a domestic terror group, but never did?
He failed to do it, but you need to understand that he is not a dictator that can force the senate and congress to vote what he wants.
> And since the topic is Antifa, what do you think about them helping Kurdish militias in the Syrian civil war?
I don’t like it, but it is a lesser evil over ISIS.
Now, where is the citation of all your claims? Or are you the stereotypical tankie who lies?
No need for citation since your answer is the same since last time.
“He failed to do it”
Failed to do it AKA he lied his @$$ off.
“but you need to understand that he is not a dictator that can force the senate and congress to vote what he wants.”
Translation: Only a dictator would designate Antifa a terror organization, according to you, and it is totally ok for Trump to lie with impunity.
“I don’t like it, but it is a lesser evil over ISIS.”
Translation: You like antifa because they are fighting alongside kurds to destroy the Syrian state, not ISIS. You also like ISIS because they are allied with Israel against Syria and Iran: https://www(.)jpost(.)com/Middle-East/Report-ISIS-Israel-temporary-allies-against-Iran-515358
So much for lesser evil. Someone might be confused about a Trump supporter who covertly defends antifa or the ADL, but when you see the jew angle everything looks clear.
> Failed to do it AKA he lied his @$$ off.
And here you are, thinking he is a dictator.
> Translation: Only a dictator would designate Antifa a terror organization, according to you, and it is totally ok for Trump to lie with impunity.
And here is why you are a communist. You completely misunderstood what I said.
Commies, neonazis, all the same. But, I am waiting for the citation that I support antifa.
“And here you are, thinking he is a dictator.”
And here you are defending the most blatant naked lie from Trump, again. A lie that was made in order to calm his base, while antifa could run wild with impunity. Yes, throwing his voting base under the bus is Trump speciality.
If antifa was really a threat to israel like you pretend they are, they would already be designated terrorists by Trump, republicans and democrats together. Conservatives are gaslighted to think their politicians have their hands tied, so it’s just a matter of figuring out if you believe their bs or are playing along in the con game.
“And here is why you are a communist. You completely misunderstood what I said.”
Jester definition of a communist: Someone who misunderstand what he says, haha, any citation for that smartpanties?
“But, I am waiting for the citation that I support antifa.”
So when i offer you a link first hand, like the connection of Israel and ISIS as allies you totally ignore it… Total weasel, but i give you one more chance to explain yourself, what do you think of ISIS being a ally to Israel? Not letting this one go as long as you don’t get “bored” like last time.
As for your opposition to antifa, you just pay lip service from time to time, but your opposition to Antifa or whatever is just as fake as your supposed criticism of CP 77, at the end of the day you are voting with your wallet supporting those groups.
> And here you are defending the most blatant naked lie from Trump, again. A lie that was made in order to calm his base, while antifa could run wild with impunity. Yes, throwing his voting base under the bus is Trump speciality.
Prove it is a lie.

Tankie. Learn to read.

Because we are discussing about the evidence you still owe me. Besides, read more than the title, sweetcheeks.
> As for your opposition to antifa, you just pay lip service from time to time, but your opposition to Antifa or whatever is just as fake as your supposed criticism of CP 77, at the end of the day you are voting with your wallet supporting those groups.
Wait, are you implying i donate to antifa?!
“Prove it is a lie.”
According to the Talmud or the normal definition? Because saying you will do something (and he did twice) and not doing anything without providing a reason for not doing it is the normal definition of lying. It maybe woudn’t be a lie if Trump said something like “yep, my bad MAGAtards i can’t actually designate antifa a terror group because i’m a massive f4ggot for zionists”.
“Because we are discussing about the evidence you still owe me. Besides, read more than the title, sweetcheeks.”
What’s the deal with this “sweetcheeks”, are you a f4ggot by chance? I’m still curious though, what do you think of Isis fighting against Israeli enemies? See, this is why i don’t provide links/citations to you, because you just change your weasel tactics.
“Wait, are you implying i donate to antifa?”
I’m implying you provide false opposition to jewish groups like antifa, but i woudn’t be surprised if it turned out you actually donate or participate in those groups.
So, you can’t prove he lied, you can’t prove I support Antifa(which you may support, since you are a commie)
> what do you think of Isis fighting against Israeli enemies?
I told you to read the article. Why are all you filthy commies the same?
“The new Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center report in no way suggests any formal alliance between ISIS and Israel.”
“… and it is widely assumed that ISIS will continue to try to attack Israel via its Sinai chapter.”
“In some ways, Israel has not shed too many tears when ISIS hit Iran and its allies even before this point. But as long as ISIS held significant territory, it was regarded as a major threat.”
> opposition to jewish groups like antifa,
Antifa, the group who actively hates Jews? You a communist, and antifa, communists, all hate Jews.
> but i woudn’t be surprised if it turned out you actually donate or participate in those groups.
annnddd more blood libel from our favorite communist.
{“So, you can’t prove he lied”}
Already proved f4ggot! OTOH you can’t prove he didn’t lied.
{“you can’t prove I support Antifa”}
You are jewish, that already makes you suspect. More on that later.
[Jester:” I told you to read the spin doctors. ” ]
Imagine a race that works by deception and treatchery, openly admitting to the world that they support terrorists! I’m still looking forward to the day Isis tries to attack israel, hope i’m not a pile of bones for when it happens but i doubt it’s gonna happen.
[“Antifa, the group who actively hates Jews?”]
No, i’m talking about antifa, the group that was created by jews: https://forward(dot)com/culture/448163/your-top-9-yiddish-antifa-anthems-a-revolutionary-playlist/
https://forward(dot)com/news/448022/antifa-yiddish-zionist/
What do you think about that? Remember, silence is compliance.
“annnddd more blood libel from our favorite communist.”
Do you even know what blood libel is? lol, off course you do you filthy liar, so are you a f4ggot? You didn’t answer the question.
> Already proved f4ggot! OTOH you can’t prove he didn’t lied.
waiting.
> You are jewish, that already makes you suspect. More on that later.
Waiting…
> Imagine a race that works by deception and treatchery, openly admitting to the world that they support terrorists! I’m still looking forward to the day Isis tries to attack israel, hope i’m not a pile of bones for when it happens but i doubt it’s gonna happen.
So, you shared an article you didn’t even read it yourself. That is… well, not surprising, all you commies are the same.
> What do you think about that? Remember, silence is compliance.
So, since silence is compliance, that means you accept you lied about accusing Trump and me. What a wonderful thing! Hey, Jews are not a monolith, like you antifa supporters think they are, or white people. White people and Jews are not a monolith. I know, you commies think jews and white people are the devil personified.
> Do you even know what blood libel is? lol, off course you do you filthy liar, so are you a f4ggot? You didn’t answer the question.
No, I’m not, are you? Since you support communism, chances are, you are one.
“So, you shared an article you didn’t even read it yourself. That is… well, not surprising, all you commies are the same.”
Israeli jews are not stupid enough to announce the world they have formal alliance with Isis, but some of the Israeli military already said that Isis is better than Al Assad. Do you agree with that or will you keep pretending? You already said you liked antifa working with the Kurds, and the kurds is definitely not fighting Isis…
“Hey, Jews are not a monolith”
Coming from you i can’t help but laugh, you can’t even pretend to be right wing opposition to antifa without your mask falling off, it’s obvious your position is tribe first, ideology second. In fact, i’m pretty sure there is a antifa chapter in israel, so your argument that they are jew haters is a flat out lie or else they would be classified as terrorists.
“No, I’m not, are you?”
Great, too bad i don’t believe liars like yourself, so at least stop with the f4g language.
“Since you support communism, chances are, you are one.”
Chances are, you don’t know nothing about communism, or else you would know how they treat you f4gs in countries such as Cuba, NK, China, etc.
> Israeli jews are not stupid enough to announce the world they have formal alliance with Isis, but some of the Israeli military already said that Isis is better than Al Assad. Do you agree with that or will you keep pretending?
Blueanon stuff right here.

Antifa has a chapter on every white country, just like in Israel, doesn’t stop them from hating Jews and Israel, or whites and Europe.
> Great, too bad i don’t believe liars like yourself, so at least stop with the f4g language.
Says the f4g
> Chances are, you don’t know nothing about communism, or else you would know how they treat you f4gs in countries such as Cuba, NK, China, etc.
You do know commies killed f4gs like you in those countries, right?
“Blueanon stuff right here.”
So you will continue pretending while israel bomb every bordering country but isis. Ok, as expected.
“> You already said you liked antifa working with the Kurds, and the kurds is definitely not fighting Isis…
[citation needed]
That you like antifa working with the kurds or that kurds don’t fight isis? Give me a detailed explanation of what you believe in this case so i can entertain the possibility of searching a link to you, or else get f#cked.
“doesn’t stop them from hating Jews and Israel, or whites and Europe.”
Keep pretending f4g, they don’t hate jews enough to be allowed to operate there. Now go see if they allow BDS movement there, they can even ban jews if they are critical enough.
“You do know commies killed f4gs like you in those countries, right?”
I’m pretty sure you hate communist nations because they kill your fellow peder@sts. Speaking of which, guess which tribe helped advance f4g rights? Hint: They suck babies d!cks.

You said I liked antifa, then weaseled out, and now says this. What type of lie do you want to stick to? Like I said, I don’t like you antifa people.

Why do I even bother talking to a communist? Gawd, you communists are lower than neonazis.
“Gawd”
Is this how peder@sts call for God, or just f4g talk?
“You said I liked antifa, then weaseled out, and now says this.”
I said that you PRETEND to not like antifa, as showed by your own posts on the matter. But being the weasel master you are, you can’t tell the difference between lip service and the real thing.
“Like I said, I don’t like you antifa people.”
So convincing s/, your chutzpah levels are low.
“[citation needed]

Here we go again with f4g tactics, you seem quite oblivious to jewish affairs, but my bet is on you being a liar as usual. And when i show definitive proof of jews being heavily involved with antifa, as seem in those Forward articles, you kvetch that “jews are not monolitic waah”, for me that is proof you got caught dead in the act. But just out of pity here’s a helpful resource site for when discussing your own tribe: https://twitter(dot)com/j_contributions

White people are heavily involved with antifa too.
You communists love to weasel out of things. I’m still waiting for the evidence about Trump lying, about me supporting Antifa, and much more.

Turns out Jester investigated himself and found himself not guilty of the accusation of being a controlled opposition jew. fckng hilarious right?
“I’m still waiting for the evidence about Trump lying, about me supporting Antifa”
Already made my case and you didn’t even make an attempt at debunking any of those. You are the broken record here, not me, reread the comments if you want.
And your stale boomer memes won’t hide your ethnicity, you spend most of your time arguing with a guy unsatisfied that Trump didn’t criminalize antifa and all you do is defend Trump from the left wing perspective (he is not a dictator blah blah). Your phony ethnicity is showing.

He may be a piece of trash, but nazi he ain’t.
Could’ve sold way more if it was released on Steam at launch. Hope that Epic money was worth it though.
