Spider-man 2 first day Steam CCU peaked at 18k


Probably will reach 30k during the weekend.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Is that bad? lol I thought around 20k was good?
That's pretty bad. 20K is fine for a niche game or an AA or indie release but for a AAA, it's shit.

I mean in general terms. By this point everybody knows that Spider-man 2 is woke shit so I'm even surprised that it hit 18k.

I think the word of mouth for this game has been a serious hindrance. Sony's sequels are really struggling to grow the fan base. This game isn't bad, but its not as exciting as the first. Crazy to think it got the reviews it got.
Game is infected by woke virus, so ofc it has terrible word of mouth, just like tlou2 had.
Pc players had plenty time to educate themselfs on that particular game, sony marketing cant deceive them like they did with ps5 launch when everything woke was hidden(with an exception of mj looking like peter's 50yo mother).
Now woke cat is out of the bag and customers dont like it, hence terrible ccu on steam :)
Naughty Dog's new game starring blasian stud will share same terrible fate and we will all be there to witness it :D

Regardless of the port, i said it once and i'll say it again. There isn't that much of an audience for action adventure type of games on PC. Hardly anyone can break the 100k barrier regardless of how big the game is on console.

All those sony games that are praised mentioned here as the greatest games of the generation couldn't do it. And 100k isn't even that high, for games that sell tens of millions on console. Not saying it's bad, but compared to other genres it's really not that much. They dont need their biggest games to break the 100k barrier.

I always see people post about Mary Jane's face change but it all started when they changed Peter's damn face. I never forgave IInsomniac for that and it's a big reason I don't really have interest in playing. I never even played Miles yet because it's already changed in that game too. I know he's not even the central character but damn. What a downgrade from the original face.
 
The game did fine on PS5 (but worst than the first one I guess) just because was the anticipated sequel of a good game. Now that people know the game is a wokefest, both with the shitty port, these numbers make perfectly sense.
There is nothing inherently woke about SM2. Mary Jane not being a 10 and a side mission of helping out a deaf black girl doesn't constitute as woke

Been saying this for a while. PC gamers just don’t give a fuck about the Sony single player games. But Sony keeps whoring them out and devaluing their brand for a few million.

Like others have said on here, I think it is more that PC gamers arent going to pick up a game like this. That has been exposed for what it is. A sequel that is more of the same and full of Woke DEI crap. Similar to Horizon forbidden west.

Either Sony need day one PC games or change the games they make, or give up on PC.

Insomniac lost some magic after the Spyro trilogy. They’ve never quite been the same. Rift Apart is fun though.

PC gamers have shown time and time again that they won't buy woke games like console users will. Either Sony stops making DEI waste or stop releasing them on PC alltogether. Let the console simps enjoys these DEI slops.
Not true, Baldur's Gate 3 was a huge hit on PC.

Those few hundred millions are valuable. It adds up over time now they have a sizeable library.

Nobody cares about brand.

What will PS players do? Stop buying consoles?

I am under the impression that every new Sony port on PC is flopping harder than the last one.

Sony sequels are just not very good, and PC gamers have stronger taste than base PS fanboys who are hyping up really mid games this gen

Édit: for those of you PC gamers on the fence, do not buy the game, it’s really bland and uninteresting

Didn't play the game, but from what I heard all the "inclusive" stuff was optional and not forced like in Mass Effect games for example. These games with optional "inclusivity" don't get judged harshly by gamers as long as it's not core part of the writing or the experience.
The character creator has body 1, 2, 3, and 4, not male/female. You got a pair of lesbians all up in your face. I found more same-sex couples than straight ones. There’s a trans character albeit, it’s not obvious. Karlach and Shadowheart are at least canonically into women. Dame Aylin goes girlboss all up in your face. The game is just so good that none really cares. It’s as progressive as progressive gets though.

I don't blame PC players.

- Port is trash
- no marketing
- Game already pirated 1 year before
- Game full of woke thing
- More Peter/Miles-life than Spider-Man thing.

And the actor change is disgusting. (Younger for peter, more butter face for MJ)
