Support NeoGAF

[Holammer]

Terraria turned 15 last week. Released back in 2011, it's been supported since with a constant trickle of content and it's the #14 top rated game on Steam. Released on PC (Windows/Linux), Playstation 3-4, PS Vita, iOS, Android, Windows Phone (lol), Xbox, MacOS, 3DS, Wii U, Switch and Google Stadia (lmao!).
Re-Logic recently released a huge update with new content and they promise continued support. With a Cross platform update in the works.

They regularly drop sales numbers, but this is the first time with more detailed PC, Console & Mobile numbers.
I am legit surprised over iOS & Android versions mogging the consoles. The mobile version it not your typical f2p game with in-app purchase mobile players have been conditioned to play, it's a 4,99 purchase.

Great game.

On my third play through right now, they made the pre-hard mode a lot better with more combat and movement options. They recently added a new crafting menu and a auto sort to nearby chests button.

I really liked my many many many hours with it despite the nighmare that was playing with a controller.

A few of those copies came from me. I need to do another playthrough. Started one with the recent update but got distracted before making much progress.

With 967 hours in the game it's one of my most played games on Steam. Last update probably added 130-150h or so.
Still have 3 achievements left.

Mobile being 2x units vs Console is insane.

This is one of those games where I played it for a few minutes and said "I'll get back to it later."

Narrator: He indeed did not get back to it later.

The game is ill suited for a controller. A touch screen is probably a better experience.

This game is also popular with younger gamers.

I have like 90 hours in this. Just thought "mhhh maybe I should get this for the Switch too" but it's super expensive. It's on sale right now and still costs more than the PC version

Full price at $29,99. That's probably because there is a cartridge version and price parity with digital is required.

Jesus, my lad used to run off when the skeleton boss showed up, he's now doing his gcse's. Damn, that went fast

I remember playing it 15 years ago.

Good for them, loved my time with it, I put probably 400 hours into this including initial releases.

Was it always on steam? I seem to remember a standalone launcher but maybe I'm mental.

My only negative memory of it is before they added the different block types blending properly and fixed grass not growing on dirt blocks it shouldn't, meaning I had to single tap each block to remove the grass.

Not that is some proper OCD shit haha

It was always on Steam, maybe you pirated it for awhile?

Could be, I played it with a lot of people so maybe was to preserve my save/worlds across "versions".
