it's almost guaranteed that 80-90% of the purchases for dom3 are majority SP, if not exclusively SP. Long term web communities tend to be MP focused for obvious reasons but it's SP that drives sales.

also, the AI is good enough and varied enough that it will take dozens of hours of dom3 experience to reliably knock down impossibles. People who have been playing this game for years drastically underestimate its complexity for new players.

I guess that's mystifying? There really is a SP silent majority in most game genres. Any examination of sales #s vs multiplayer activity makes this apparent, even if your own experience does not.

It only makes sense that online communities are heavily biased towards those with an interest in multiplayer. Even SP gamers with an interest in discussing the game may not wish to go through the hassle of registering to a board and will at best lurk.

So you have both accurate sales figures and multiplayer figures? Where did you get those?

And if you have them. Share or gtfo.

If DeadlyShoe had had those figures, DeadlyShoe would have said "80-90% of the purchases for dom3 are majority SP", rather than "it's almost guaranteed that 80-90% of the purchases for dom3 are majority SP". Words, mang, words

So now I'm curious after all this debate and back-and-forth.... did you buy the game in the end? ;)
