What the fuck are 2 and 4?

Successful indie games.

Jesus christ.

Are you okay?

When you type like this you sound like you are malding.

Also comparing a port of a five year old singleplayer game at full price against three cheap ass games and one big hitter

It's not full price. But ok I'll bite. What should we compare it to? How would you measure if it's doing well or not?

Im annoyed because of your retarded post, thats right.

[analog_future]

Game peaked at only 27458

https://steamdb.info/app/2531310/charts/

Games tend to peak on Sunday.

Also that's a solid number already.

 

[Physiognomonics]

As expected it bombed on PC. And their next game will also kinda flop on PS5 (half TLOU2 sales, which were already down vs TLOU1) and mega flop on PC after.

Curious to see numbers after the show is out and after the season ends

We'll get the best sense of how well it has done when Sony releases their fiscal Q1 report. We'll also see how well Spider-Man 2 did in their Q4 report.

Skipped my question from the quote + no rebuttal at all? Alright. So long buddy.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Would you rather

A) 1 million players on a F2P game
B) 100K players on a game that costs 40 dollars

Both games have MTX

 

[VulcanRaven]

This seems to be a thing when PS exclusives come to PC. They seem to make enough money because Sony keeps porting them.

 

[Kerotan]

One of the benefit of Steam, you can actually see who's playing what and don't have to wait for the developers to announce or in ND case, not announce numbers.
Don't worry though, the defence force tell us how this is good

It's not actually bad number's wise and it could go up.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

it's not. SH2 sold like 2M (including PS)

It's low CCU reflected a low interest across the board.

TLoU2 on steam is not going to be a mega success.

[Horseganador]

For a port of a game that came out 5 years ago, it has done much better than others like Indiana Jones or Avowed, the one that has been an epic fail is South of Midnight, not even 500 players

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

now what do you think about this?

 

[analog_future]

I literally don't care at all lol. Why would I?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Can you define for me mega success within this genre and timeframe?

 

[Varteras]

IDK man, that's almost 40 Concords.

This absolutely needs to be THE metric going forward.

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

You can tell who in this thread is retarded by the posts calling TLOU2 a dogshit game, and a flop. Easy list of people to never take seriously on any gaming related discussion. The game sold 4 million in its first week alone on PS4 and is quite possibly THE game of the previous generation.

Go take your shitty posts to the Asmongold subreddit where incel PC gamers keep each other company.

 

[Fake]

Remaster exhaustion?

Maybe we need another remake.

 

[willothedog]

For an old sp game that already reached sales saturation and every copy sold makes a solid profit i'd say it's very healthy numbers along with user score.

Way more than any recent brand new sp game by Microsoft for example.

MS games are also on their subscription service so you cannot compare on Steam CCU alone

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

MS games are also on their subscription service so you cannot compare on Steam CCU alone

TLoU2 also sold around 15m units on two most popular home consoles already and still did fine.

This thread is about the PC version, do stay on topic.

 

[Denton]

27K is not great, not terrible. Port will pay for itself and make some extra money, but it won't be mega profitable enterprise like God of War or Tsushima (let alone Helldivers 2).

What hurts it are several factors - bad state of the first game at launch, somewhat bad reputation/word of mouth, 5 years of age..

Hell I own the game on PS4 Pro since 2020 too, but the 30fps made me drop it and wait, so I will finally play it now on PC. I bought it, but given how long I already waited, I am not in a hurry to play it now.

 

[Kabelly]

I'd have bought it if I didnt have to use mods on the first day to make it a tolerable experience.

I can wait. TLOU on PC is gorgeous.

Wrong thread

 

[Schmendrick]

It's a cheap low effort port of a 5 year old game..... They will be making a very decent profit

 

[Physiognomonics]

That has nothing to do with the quality of the port. Based on Steam reviews most people are happy of how it play on their rigs. DF interviewed the team and they went the extra mile to improve performance on PC. But the game is just too optimized for Playstation consoles so there is not much they can do on PC.

This is just not the game people wanted after TLOU1. That's all.

 

[viveks86]

This is higher than I expected,,,for all the reasons everyone already gave.. if the o.p said it was under 10,000, I would've straight up believed him without even checking…. Close to 30,000 is pretty decent…. I just started this game on ps5 last week, beautiful game,some of those Dino fights can be exhilarating and fun …BUT, this game is wordy as fuck.. I already been through about 15 different chats with npc characters that seem to have lasted about 10 minutes each,and my patience has worn thin….im at a point where I'm constantly pressing the X button just to skip it through the chats(and even that seems to take a few minutes)…. And because of that,I got no idea what's going on in the story…I am enjoying the gameplay well enough though.

Wrong game?

bullshit.

[Zathalus]

It's a port of a 5 year old game. If someone waited 5 years to play it then I'd assume they are probably happy waiting a bit longer for a sale, especially with all the other releases right now. It's not that far of the peak CCU of the first one and you can check sales estimates to see how well that roughly sold on PC.

 

[Kacho]

Skipped my question from the quote + no rebuttal at all? Alright. So long buddy.

He's always melting down about something. Weird guy.

[Slothbeing1209]

1. It's 5 years old game
2. It's not available in 173 countries.

I have to thank you for teaching me a new word today. Malding!

 

[Astray]

Seems like a decent CCU number for an almost 5 year old game.

And a singleplayer sequel game at that.

 

[mathello]

1. It's 5 years old game
2. It's not available in 173 countries.

Didn't Sony resolve this issue? Now PSN is always optional ?

 

[rofif]

Amazing game but also 5 years old. probable people played it already.
Or it got a bad enough rep + it's a strictly single player story game, so it's not popular on pc.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Didn't Sony resolve this issue? Now PSN is always optional ?

That's different problem. What Sony resolve is you don't need PSN to sign in to play the game.
And Sony have started to block their games on Steam on regions where you can't make a PSN account. Like my country.

 

[ProtoByte]

No matter what you think of its performance, it does indicate that continued PC porting can only be cannibalistic.

 

[Thief1987]

They are still don't sell games in the countries where there is no psn officially.

 

[rofif]

They are still don't sell games in the countries where there is no psn officially.

do they also not sell PlayStation consoles in the same countries?
If so...

 

[simpatico]

I helped with this. It's really a testament to the gameplay team. Keep in mind, I played TLOU1 in November. So I'm pretty fresh.

I had rock bottom expectations for the writing. I knew the big story "twist" going in. The moment-to-moment dialog between Ellie and Nina is awful. It's plain to see that Druck has seething contempt for the traditional gaming audience. Well beyond indifference. Everything that makes the game special has been cultivated from the Uncharted series, so it succeeds in spite of the director rather than because of.

 

[Liopleurodon]

...

Just release the damn games on PC day 1.

 

[GHound]

Another Ghost of Tsushima victory.

 

[Thief1987]

do they also not sell PlayStation consoles in the same countries?
If so...

Officially no, I think.

...

Nah, the premise should be - don't release damn games on pc at all, it's stupid. I don't expect that from hulst&co though, because nothing they do makes any sense.

 

[rofif]

Officially no, I think.

So this cannot be used as excuse for low ccu because same game can sell 10 million units also excluding the same countries.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's low, accept it folks. Even after 5 years, I'm surprised it has received so little attention. I'd like to think that everyone already bought a ps and finished it long ago. Despite the low player numbers generated by big ps games, it's fortunate that Sony still hasn't abandoned this pc adventure.
