No, I'm not "confused". I know full well that TEW2 is niche. I'm lamenting the fact that a game that doesn't try to rob it's consumers blind is bombing while a piece of shit like SOW rakes in the cash.Well Evil Within 2 is a niche game with zero marketing (at least from what I've seen), brings nothing "new" to gaming and is a follow up to another niche game.
Shadow of War is a game in a very popular genre, had some great marketing for several months leading up to launch, has an expanded nemesis system which is a fantastic gaming mechanic that brings both increased immersion and emergent gameplay, is based off of the incredibly popular lord of the rings IP and is the follow up to the other popular game Shadow of Mordor.
I hope that helps. You seemed confused.
Bro you even said EW2 is bombing whilr SoW seems to be selling... I mean that right there shows the difference in appeal.
"Nah" is meant to imply TEW appeals more to me than "slaughtering Orcs". I understand the difference in mass appeal.
