thinks games with co-op are also Gaas, so it's 16 counting Space Marine 2.
Anyone who doesn't like the game won't be buying it, and at most they'd meme on it on some board/forum as many are doing here right now while its trending. You are the one who is coming off as an insecure butthurt snowflake that wants people to solely praise the game.Nah, despite the game's wokeness, it's still a great game and has great user ratings on meta which is known to review bomb almost every exclusive, and especially any woke game. So the game is great. The game was the fastest selling ps5 game in history at the time. And continued to sell great after the initial launch period. 5 million in 11 days, then 11 million in 6 months. Compared to TLOU2 which did get impacted by the word of mouth and sold 11 million in 4 years after launching with 4 million sales in just 3 days.
If PC players are such snowflakes that they cant handle some gay shit in sidequests then perhaps Sony should abandon this toxic audience which is more concerned with politics than actual video game design, and focus on gamers who actually reward great games them with sales.
You must REALLY love sports games.
It's not a great game. And even the original 2018 game didn't do super great on PC IIRC (although significantly better than this so far).Nah, despite the game's wokeness, it's still a great game and has great user ratings on meta which is known to review bomb almost every exclusive, and especially any woke game.

15 of the 20 games most downloaded on PS5 in 2024 were GaaS or games with active GaaS components like GTA Online.
I swear I already had this exact exchange with jimmothy in a different topic.

You have nothing to feel superior about, console friendo. The top ten of every platform is riddled with hot garbage - including Sony's.
Spider-Man? I couldn’t agree more. It’s run its course.
I don't have 'colleagues' on anonymous internet forums, pal.
That’s the slop PS gamers play?
If you're going to waste everyone's time by arguing about absolutely fuck all, why don't you experiment with being funny or something while you do it?
You keep saying the same thing over and over again. Nobody gives a shit about you, or who you replied to. It was pointed out, correctly, to you that the top10 for every platform is riddled with garbage.
Is this really the level that you're going to descend to?
BUT Almost every PS game has made a profit on PC.
Bullshit plenty of action adventure games sell well on PC. Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Monster Hunter. Action adventure is a weird term since most games are action and involve adventure tho. Sony games just aren't as great as Playstation fans hype them up to be. In a free market like PC games have to stand out on their own, Sony doesn't own steam like they own PSN they have to pay valve to advertise and they have to compete with everybody else for gamers attention. I guarantee you if Spiderman 2 was made by CDPR it would have sold massively more on PC but then again CDPR wouldn't make the mistake of launching such a shoddily put together, poorly marketed and delayed non simultaneous launch.
Context?
Yes although to BG3s credit you can be more of a asshole and disapprove more freely then you can in Veilguard. It's not dramatic but it could have been worst as we've seen in other games. GTA 6 is on track for being a pretty woke game but I bet it'll sell a ton regardless because people love the franchise, I also expect rockstar to be more subtle about it like CDPR was with cyberpunk and like they'll be with the Witcher 1 remake.
I think it's a combination of no marketing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>too many (cheap/free) games>>>"old" games. The marketing is the most important factor for PS games. I haven't seen any Astro Bot marketing and although it's a fun game with high ratings and awards it doesn't seem to set the sale charts on fire. I bet with the Spider-Man or TLOU marketing budget it would have already sold millions more.
That's too simple. I bet the most popular games on PS are also COD/BF/Siege/Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox/GTA online/RDR2 online/EA Sports and many more. Also there are very successful singleplayer games like Black Myth or Cyberpunk on Pc and i also think that many pc games with a coop option are still being played singleplayer.
Oh man, you were just self-portraiting right?
that's just not true.
peak concurrent player numbers on Steam
from the top 11 more than half are single player games

I still think marketing is the biggest reason and if Sony goes day1 we'll see if i was right or not. Like mentioned. Astro Bots without (noteworthy) marketing isn't doing too good compared to the heavily marketed games. Of course those charts are mp dominated. Multiplayer games can be played for an infinite amount of time over years. Singpleplayer games have limited playtime and are most popular during the release date. Another reason i mentioned, games ported after years are not exactly new/hot to many players.As I said, there are exceptions. I'm not suggesting this is the case across the board by any means. But fact of the matter is that these same Sony games sell a hell of a lot more on PlayStation than they do on PC. That's not all due to marketing. Plenty of people on console just buy console for games like these. Look at the top games on Steam any given day and they are typically dominated by multiplayer games.
Maybe in huge part because they tend to come out much earlier there?
What new single player game has there been recently? Of course, you won’t see single player games in the top when no big one has come out in over a month. Single player games peak for a few days, people beat them, and they move back to their multiplayer games. I bet you Kingdom Come Deliverance II does excellent numbers when it comes out, but it won’t stay in the top for long.That's not all due to marketing. Plenty of people on console just buy console for games like these. Look at the top games on Steam any given day and they are typically dominated by multiplayer games.
One Chinese game
Or understand that 1. Late port affect sales and 2. PC players don’t care all that much about Sony exclusives. I know you guys think they’re god’s gift to gaming, but they’re nowhere near as amazing as you or the paid media think they are. When they’re in the hands of neutral people, they don’t get that much fanfare.
