Can't imagine it's doing much better on PSN.


Maybe cool it with all the Horizon releases, Sony, before you burn everyone out on the IP.

Lmao Horizon is not as big IP as *removed slur* Hermen Hulst thinks it is.

How is in Nintendo switch?

it's already discussed in the Review thread?

 

[Hookshot]

The weekend is here and with that "Friday feeling" the chart will be rising. 1000 people playing here we come!!

ITS ALL THE CHUDS FAULT

You could say the same of countless other recent releases (Concord, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Final Fantasy XVI, etc.. etc..) but that didn't stop anyone?

Something tells me that Steam users aren't the largest audience for this particular title.

Where are they then?

This game isn't going to sell well anywhere.

Like I said in the review thread, complete waste of time. Herman is high off his own supply.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Lmao Horizon is not as big IP as fangay Hermen Hulst thinks it is.

i mean...Forbidden West that released in march has 1,556 people playing right now (Lego Horizon has 285 people lmao) and peaked at 40k back when it released (a game that released on PC 2 or 3 years after its original release) so i don't think this measures anything. People just aren't interested in a Horizon Lego game.

 

[Kacho]

Dragon Quest 3 peaked at 36k so far. There is negative interest in Lego Horizon. Consoles won’t do much better.

 

[analog_future]

I think you're right, but 602 peak users is astonishingly bad even when taking that into account. That's lower than Concord and less than 1% of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

 

[Fahdis]

These numbers really mean nothing. They are super arbitrary. Lego games sell for the long run. I suggest we stop having hard ons for #'s. Unless its EA and Ubisoft of course, then we communally tell them to fuck off. And Nintendo too (cause why not?)

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Similar CCU to Sackboy, although that one was a late PC port - https://steamdb.info/app/1599660/charts/

It is. Especially for a game that released day 1 on Steam. If it was a late port like Sackboy it would be more understandable.

 

[ap_puff]

Dear Hermen: Please stop trying to make "fetch" happen.

Thanks

 

[XXL]

I love Horizon, I love good Lego games and I have little to no interest in this games right now.

I think the sales for this will be Switch > PS > PC.

I don't think it'll sell great overall though.

 

[Fake]

Another incel victory strikes again.

 

[Nankatsu]

Another Hulst win.

 

[rabbity-thing]

Sony first party title means that largest audience would be coming from a Sony console. The fact that it's Lego and aimed at kids means the Switch would be the next biggest audience.

Not rocket science, brother.

The Horizon series has sold as much as Gears of War series.....but with half the of game releases.

Horizon is extremely popular which is why they're trying to put it everywhere.

 

[xrnzaaas]

LEGO games should stick with movie licences or at least pick the ones with a large bunch of recognizable & likeable characters. I could name only 2 characters from Horizon games.

 

[Mr Moose]

It's not even the lowest Lego game.
The only "big" one seems to be a Star Wars one.

Good luck competing with Nintendo exclusives kid lmao.

I'm Team #FuckHermit but wasn't it LEGO who wanted to do this and started communications, not the other way around?

 

[cormack12]

Even Lego Harry Potter was doing those numbers, and the lego 1-4 before the fake remaster weren't they?

This will have to probably be assessed against the Switch if we get those numbers.

 

[XXL]

The Lego Star Wars games are great.

 

[Mr Moose]

The Lego Star Wars games are great.

I've only tried the first Harry Potter Lego game, and it was a bit shit so I didn't get far in it.

 

[Doctor Hades]

Normally, I roll my eyes whenever I see a thread on Steam from someone complaining about the price of a game but in this case I agree that the £59.99 price for this is just stupid, especially a game that is predominantly aimed at younger players.

This really should have been £24.99 or £29.99 at most to make it a far more appealing purchase for parents of younger gamers. Microids for example sell their Smurfs games at this price point. The recent The Smurfs - Dreams is just £24.99 on Steam and that is a licenced game too.

I see no reason for why this game should cost nearly £60 personally. It might have the LEGO licence but it isn't Star Wars, Harry Potter or DC/Marvel that might inflate the cost of licencing it. It's just sheet greed in my view and will only lead to lower sales because of it.

This is absolutely a "Wait for a Sale" in my opinion.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Lego will probly do its best numbers on the Switch.

 

[XXL]

Yeah, it's garbage. Try Lego Star Wars it's much much better.

 

[Rush2112]

I wonder if I will be able to live through 2025 without hearing about a new horizon spin off. Really sick of this mediocre game getting milked.

 

[yet_another_alt]

This. We should be comparing it to other Lego games. Most of them barely break 1000 peak CCU on Steam. And speaking of Lego games, I'm actually disappointed that Brick Tales has a peak at 722. I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Good. Series fatigue at this point and yet Hulst wants to keep pushing it in every single way. Glad to see it struggling. No one asked for this. Either make something new or bring back Killzone.

I mean sure, but when it's leveraging the Horizon IP and Sony's marketing and still peaking lower than Lego Brick Tales, Lego 2K Drive, and Lego Builder's Journey, it's not a good sign.

They were aiming for NINJAGO levels of players, instead they're left with Harry Potter collection.

What the fuck is NINJAGO?

Even the Harry Potter Collection was just a bundled re-packaging of old Lego Harry Potter games though. If a new Lego Harry Potter game was created with a larger budget for modern audiences, I'm sure it'd see much better numbers ala Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

 

[Begleiter]

It might, but those are bound to be underwhelming as well. If you're buying a licensed Lego game for your kids you go for a license they actually know and love, like Batman or Star Wars. Those games are also likely to be cheaper.

Lego games sell for the long run because they are based in super popular franchises that new generations keep re-discovering.

This... is Horizon. Nobody wanted this, nobody cared about it.

 

[Flabagast]

Another banger from Sony

Ok cool, I'll remind you of bomba when bomba inevitably happens.

He could have said no, this sounds like a waste of everyones time and money.

Skinny aloy and fat aloy?

 

[Saber]

Where is that fella thread with high demand for Lego Horizon?

Lego will probly do its best numbers on the Switch.

Willing to bet it will do worse on Switch since they have to compete with premium family games like Mario games(party just launch recently too).

 

[phant0m]

Did I miss something? Why does GAF hate Horizon so much? Is it just because they made Aloy’s personality kind of insufferable in Forbidden West?

I don’t recall a hate boner like this after HZD.

Eh, both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West were somewhat divisive.

But the bigger issue now I think is franchise burnout and the fact that Sony first party is going through a bit of a drought right now.

 

[Gonzito]

Its a lego game, what were people expecting? lol

I dont understand why some people have such hate for this franchise

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Something tells me that Steam users aren't the largest audience for this particular title.

Imagine Concord and Lego Horizon signalling Sony to (slowly) move away from PC again, as part of their restructuring.

 

[AGRacing]

Dumb idea from day 1. Some egos need to get checked.

 

[StereoVsn]

The issue here is that Lego games are mainly targeted at kids and Horizon is a property that’s targeted at a different demographic.

Which is why Lego Star Wars makes absolute sense while Lego Horizon is puzzling.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, I think it’s a mix of more “HR in the room” in Forbidden West and it being more of the same as OG game, but with a worse story.

Couple that with Sony determined to make Horizon one of their main IP pillars.
