NOOOO EPICBROS WHAT WENT SO HORRIBLY WRONG? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR TURN
DID WE GET TOO COCKY?
Why do you try to make this a pc vs console thread ? My toaster can run Risk of Rain 2 faggot
cool. I still think 3D was a mistake

damn
>7/10 reviews that are positive are from steam keys
What did the lying devs mean when they claimed one million copies sold but really meant one million keys given out
I thought Epic was supposed to save PC gaming from the clutches of Valve. What happened?

>1 million copies anything to brag about
Days Gone By destroyed that number in far less time and it isn't even one of Sony's top series
Fuck PC, it is and always will be an interior platform
steamcharts.com
Hmm, what does...
oh dear, oh oh oh dear
Gosh, do they sell it somewhere else not on Steam? Am I missing something? Surely a game of this stature if there was really that many copies sold would... have more players?
>Days Gone with its marketing budget the size of 10000 Risk of Rain 2's
Wow Sonybros impressive.
By the way, Days Gone sales include shipped copies.
because for the first week you got a gift copy with each purchase
It's also a AAA game, risk of rain is indie lol
>he plays consoles outside
So they really meant "we sold some copies but the majority of the steam copies are from keys but it kinda still counts for scam awards!"
I guess the shilling on Yea Forums didn't work :(
Steam is supposed to have over 90 million active users, yet it only reaches 8 million concurrent users, hmm, why is that?
But 70% of 1m sales is nothing, he should have went with 88% of 250k sales
Damnit Sweeney couldn't save this dev from steam, sad
So? Your just making up excuses.
Risk of rain gets free advertisement being plastered all over steam.
1 million is chump change to Sony
How come MY indie game doesn't get 1 million sells? Stupid Steam playing favourites again. This is why I go to Epic!
>On its launch into Early Access, Hopoo Games offered Risk of Rain 2 with a "buy one, get one free" promotion for the first few days. A week from release, Hopoo announced that over 650,000 players had played the game, with about 150,000 of those having taken advantage of the special promotion.
>Thread turns into a false flag shitposting about sony, epic games, pc vs console in less than 20 replies
Fuck you
All of you
Epic tried to buy Hopoo out. He told them to go fuck themselves.
source?

13 million~ active players
>you said it only goes to 8 million
I'm confused user.
lol believing shills that spammed threasd on Yea Forums
>risk of rain spends fuck all on marketing and makes literal millions in sales
>days gone spends millions in marketing and sells marginally more
great comparison, are all console players 2 digit iq?
No, user, I'm confused. Steam is supposed to have over 90 million active users yet the amount of concurrent users is always below 10 million. Why is that?
>This is why I go to Epic!
lmao no you dont
Epic decides who gets to sale shit on their store and chances are if your shitty indie game cant even sell 1mil copies they aint letting you in
>spends fuck all on marketing
>g-guys if you buy our game you get a FREE key to um, like um, y'know give away.
Or my personal favourite was the idiot shills on this site spamming the fuck outta Yea Forums
Stay confused as I proved you wrong
user, why are there less than 10 million concurrent users right now on Steam? It's supposed to have over 1 billion accounts and over 90 million active users.
You're confused in school as well, aren't you
steamcharts.com
over 13 million online now playing games
Troll again and you get ignored
Are you underaged? Do you really think that all the players would ever play at the same time? Are you mentally ill?
Because timezones exist you stupid cunt.
Wow, 13 million? Seems pretty low for a store that is supposed to have 1 billion accounts and 90 million active users, don't you think? Yikes...
Oh no, no no I'm not mentally ill friendo.
I just find it amusing that all the shills on here, after jannies finally fucking did their job are indenial of how shitty the game is now
It's getting less and less players daily
you're confusing me user
>over 13 million online now playing games

Gosh, do they play games somewhere else not on Steam? Am I missing something? Surely a digital distribution platform of this stature if there was really 90 million monthly users would... have more players?

This thread is an embarrasment.
I just think it's funny after jannies finally started removing their shilling that they tried this one
"we admit that we had to give out free copies to get people to play but we totes sold 1 million in one month, it's why we barely scratch 11k players "
>what is discussion
You think that everyone is mentally ill like you and makes 1 post per thread?
damage control
Their peak concurrent players was 70k though.
I didn't know shitposting was "discussion".
>people making 1 post then leaving is good
people like you are why Yea Forums is so shit
Reminder that Gearbox are the publishers so if you buy Risk of Rain you're funding more Borderlands games and content for this BAD ASS motherfucker.
Not really, user.
The damage control is done by the shills.
From "okay so yeah so what if they gave out hundreds of thousands of free copies and are losing players rapidly every day, it still counts as one million"
And of course "Steam is lying to you about the players".
Yes, Valve is purposely holding tihs ONE GAME DOWN
Yep and that was during the first week with the hundreds of thousands of free copies given away.
Don't get me wrong, it had incredibly awesome marketing and the desperation of giving out free copies to boost sales did work but it's dying faster than well, a fast dying thing
Hmm, what does...
oh dear, oh oh oh dear
Gosh, do they play games somewhere else not on Steam? Am I missing something? Surely a digital distribution platform of this stature if there was really 90 million monthly users would... have more players?
>posts that 2 posts per poster is embarrassing
>laments "shitposting" in his next post
jokes on you user, you just made 2 posts
how embarrassing
>Shitposting with the same arguments because you have a personal vendetta against the game is discussion
Faggot
Well you are objectively wrong then. Being a contrarian is boring, don't you think?
Okay so let's get to the real meat of the meal
The players are decreasing each day.
People are really arguing that Steam is purposely lying about the amount of players to kill off interest.
Why is this?
Reminder that the Risk of Rain dudes are from /agdg/ and people shouldn't be worried about Randy's empty threat to move RoR2 to epic because then the devs would just walk out on the project.
Ever heard of time zones? Or the fact that logging in once a month makes you active?
Jesus christ are you genuinely this dumb
Hmm, what does...
oh dear, oh oh oh dear
Gosh, do they play games somewhere else not on Steam? Am I missing something? Surely a digital distribution platform of this stature if there was really 90 million monthly users would... have more players?
Can you all stop replying to the poster just spamming, as in literally just spamming the same post over and over please?
I'd like to discuss the state of the amount og players
>Surely a digital distribution platform of this stature if there was really 90 million monthly users would... have more players
...No, it really wouldn't. Those numbers are pretty much exactly what you'll see anywhere. I mean, if any other place ever showed their numbers.
Is this some new form of shilling where you pretend to be smart when you're actually retarded?
I'm just using the mentally ill user's logic who tried to shit on Risk of Rain 2.
>triple A game on a console that has 4 games total selling well is impressive
There's a drought of games for consoles and whatever games they get, they have to buy because it'd be tedious to play Bloodborne for the 800th time
user it's a literal fucking spambot - stop replying to it

I'm aware, lol.
I had 6 people offer me a key on various discords.
The whole shilling with free keys was pretty pathetic but smart
unless they give them money*
>Indies have no chance on Ste-
NOOOOO
WHAT WILL WE CRY ABOUT ON TWITTER NOW INDIE BROS???
>free advertisement
>being plastered all over steam
The game was released without a fucking warning, completely out of the blue, no mentions of it whatsoever and it's still on early access, it hasn't been advertised on steam's front page, only after a month because of its huge success, and even then, it was just one of the games in the scrolling showcase of 9 other games
because the game is so good, the word of mouth made it so popular
days gone have been shilled since 2015 and it has big motherfucking billboard advertisements all around the world and advertisements all over the media, and people are shitting on it because it's a trash game
You are fucking delusional, but nothing I wouldn't expect from a console shiteater
>sold more but also cost exponentially more to make
Revenue != profits.
Ok that pic got me hard.
Care to gib me a mayo or mustard because I'm too lazy to look it up on google?
>claims a million sold
>barely has 11k players a month later
What did they mean by this?
Face it - the game is shit and only got by on the free keys plastered everywhere
Good stuff.
Concurrent players because the hype has died down, but when we look at players that play the game at least once every day there are hundreds of thousands of people who still play it.
Onemillion
Holy

ONE MIRRION TROOPS
Thank you very much user.
May the tasty cunny or nasty trappy ride your dick soon.
Sekiro has sold over 1 million copies on Steam and it currently has 14k concurrent players. You seem to be unable to grasp the idea of hype making many people play at the same time.
WORMED.COM
>Gearbox and the Gearbox Software logo are registered trademarks, and the Gearbox Publishing logo is a trademark,
lmao Randy can't even lay down simple legalese without fucking up
those first 12 hours are great though
>~15k player peak each day for a multiplayer indie game is bad
>doesn't take time zones into account
>Hurr million sold, why isn't there million players online
you are embarrassingly retarded, you're lucky if your console trash has even 1000 concurrent players, people play singleplayer games on short bursts and there's no incentive to be online
if the game is bad, free keys wouldn't matter, and as far as I know, there never were free keys "plastered"
RoR is an "endless" game - Sekiro can be beaten in a week
Your point is invalid
The game is shit - the fact the free keys were given out and there's less than 10% of players playing now is proof of this. Sure it's great for the first 12-14 hours but after that, you realize there's no content
god you are such a fag and i dont even play this game
Not an argument - stopp trolling
>One million copies sold!
>btw fuck actually giving people artifacts to alter runs with.

109775240998076912
Why are you trying so hard to outperform artificer you colossal titwank faggot
Nope.
It's great fun for the first 12-14 hours.
But you then realize it's the same content, over and over.
I wish there's some sort of actual progression to it but there's not. It's like the devs looked at Zelda: ALTTP and Zelda: OoT and thought "all we do is make it 3D and it'll be the most revered game ever!" and that's what they did
Literally just took it into 3D without any logic
huge if factual
Its really not. You think people who use a product or service are using it 24/7?
how does this game perform on low end PCs?
>GAS JAVS
wtf hopoo
>Proof?
time zones, retard nigger. if game has for example, 10k players right at this moment, and after 10 hours, the same amount, that doesn't mean the same 10k people have played the entire 10 hours, the numbers keep recycling throughout the day, there's easily at least hundred thousand different people playing the game throughout 24 hours
>there's no content
the game IS early access and roadmap of upcoming stuff has already been revealed, if you've only played 12 hours, you haven't unlocked every single item in the game nor enjoyed the myriad build possibilities, challenge and secrets the game has to offer, you've scratched the surface and you're already bitching
if the game isn't fir for you, you're welcome to leave, no need to play the contrarian faggot here
Cool but give me new content already
given how few items there are there are only so many times you can play it without being bored to death
I main Arti and I love her.
It's almost as if people who bought a game or received a free key for it aren't playing it 24/7...
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Hey dumbass, ror1 had the same overall structure. Only key difference is that there was a formal ending, but the core gameplay loop was still looping all stages if you weren't trying to tap out.
>epic's best selling game sold 250k copies

>I only shout random shit and close the window

Absolutely based if true.
>But you then realize it's the same content, over and over.
So, like every other game in existence? What's your point, retardo?
And it's early access, missing like 40% of the items, survivors and maps, also there's no modifiers and artifacts yet.
its a really shitty game though and a cash grab
funny that all the retards keep falling for it
even funnier that the retarded ps4 consolefags got triggered hard

Not bad, desu.
12 hours got me all of the classes. Sure, some items aren't unlocked but it was enough to realize I'm just going to pwn the game unless I used a bad build
Also your point is stupid because total players daily = totaly players in the 24 hours
RoR1 was fun, though

>hoppo will probably put in bandit next due to public pressure
>nobody even talks about sniper
>forced to alt-fire with MUL-T to enjoy that type of gameplay
The devs wanted to make it 3D to challenge themselves and break out of 2D gaming.
They didn't want to be stuck making 2D pixel games forever and had ambition to better themselves as creators.
Wasn't there a gif floating around of someone taking scoped shots in 2? Was that just a ruse?
Most surprising this is that RoR1 actually sold 1 million in 5 years.
Ooookay?
That doesn't mean you get to fucking skip making it good.
The game is shit in 3d - is it because the game premise is shit? Nope, plenty of games exist like this that are good: BoI, Deadcells, etc
RoR2 is shit because it's a rushed game that has fuck all content
well deserved
Neat. Not going to play until they drop more content though so see you boys in june. Here's hoping the content keeps rolling on schedule as well as more shit after launch.
well, it IS a cheap game when it's on sale, 10 bucks normally and has been on sale for 80%, possibly for 90
So just out of curiosity, for someone who wasn't amazing at Risk of Rain but handles himself a lot better in third person shooters, would this game be a good recommendation? It looks really fun, but again, I wasn't that great at the original Risk of Rain.
>RoR is an "endless" game - Sekiro can be beaten in a week
and? what are you trying to say?
>this game is good because people are not playing it, but that game is bad because people are not playing it
Just look around for one of the several hundreds of thousands of free steam keys they gave out and play it
It's not bad but after 12-14 hours it's pretty boring
It'll be a fun game if it's ever finished
Free keys you say? Where would I go looking for one of those?
>But you then realize it's the same content, over and over.
So it's not endless content like you said.
I haven't gotten bored of it yet
Reddit unironically
It's advertised as endless, eg: infinite replaability but it's not. Like literally once yu get all the classes, maybe two hours or so, it's boring as fuck.
Steam forum
kill yourselves, seriously. you're fighting on behalf of billion-dollar corporations FOR FREE, it's fucking embarrassing
>It's advertised as endless, eg: infinite replaability but it's not.
Exactly. So what's your point? You answered your own question.
why? you already have your 2d game full of content, fuck off and let them do new stuff
I... don't recall me asking a question
>once yu get all the classes, maybe two hours or so, it's boring as fuck.
t. zoomer attention span
user, I have over 1500 hours in Terraria - I like good games. Not trash games
>same content, over and over
do you even know what genre this is? are you actually mentally damaged? it's literally the fucking point and is advertised as such
He sounds like one of those guys that plays movie games all the time on the easiest difficulty and drops them forever once he beats them
No, it's advertised as
>No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items.
And>Unlock over 75 items over time, keeping each run fresh and full of new challenges
Nope I just dislike boring games and false advertising
Man you're a fucking retard
nigger are you retarded
don't answer that question you clearly are
so much for indies not selling on steam
>Game has to sell far more than 1 million just to break even
You're right. Days Gone probably made far less as a return than RoR 2.
>What did they mean by this?
That. Now what is your point?
Good, they deserve the praise.
Now where the fuck is my boi Acrid?
>RoR2 is a rushed game
it doesn't even come out before next year you fucking retard, how is it rushed? the devs made it abundantly clear that it's early access, what did you seriously expect?
what the fuck is false about that? it's literally 75 items the stages, bosses and items are random
are you retarded?
>boring
that's fine. you can dislike something and think it's boring, but you're straight up lying now
But they bought Gearbox and Risk of Rain 2 is being published by them
>they bought Gearbox
what?
>the game is bad
>even though it's good for 12 to 14 hours
>the game has endless content so people should still be playing it, unlike sekiro
>... even though it starts getting boring around 12 to 14 hours
you are the dumbest motherfucker i have ever seen on Yea Forums and i don't even know what this fucking game is

1 million or 500000? They did give 2 copies per purchase
You Sony faggots are so obnoxious.
They got to Randy, who is the CEO of Gearbox and now actively defends and supports Epic.
>On its launch into Early Access, Hopoo Games offered Risk of Rain 2 with a "buy one, get one free" promotion for the first few days. A week from release, Hopoo announced that over 650,000 players had played the game, with about 150,000 of those having taken advantage of the special promotion.
...
Sniper's alpha form is still in the files, but he has no model. Its very possible he has been cut.
inb4 Epic Insect Exclusive
They gave two copies per purchase for like two days, dumbass. If they hit 1 million players but only 500,000 purchases then it would have had to happen right before the promotion ended.
They probably sold about 850,000. 800k lowball.
yeah it looks shit but playable. guess I'll buy it
>Can't spot false flaggers
No wonder this thread is going to shit.
I assumed I couldn't run this game but maybe I can, based on that vid. I'm gonna buy three copies so my friends can play with me, thanks user!
good. Nobody wants to play video games outside
>ALL of the content included in our first update will be new content to the Risk of Rain universe.
I'm glad to hear that. Everyone seemed convinced that the next 4 survivors would be repeats of RoR1 survivors, but Hopoo did say just because they're in the files doesn't mean they'll be added. Of course it'd be nice to have them someday, but let's try some new things first.
They said that they understand people want Risky 1 survivors too, so near-finished characters are probably gonna leak in slowly. I think Bandit and Han-D are still quite likely. Enforcer and Sniper likely won't make it.
It's surely cheaper than sekiro as well
>Reminder that the Risk of Rain dudes are from /agdg/
People literally bullied hoppoo day in day out (back when RoR was the flavour of the month) until he stopped posting.
thats 11k players per day
MEANWHILE IN THE EPIC STORE
Concurrent players per day. If we count every player that plays the game at least once a day, it could be 100k, 200k or 300k, etc. No way to know.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VIDEO GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO FLOP
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED BROS?!?!?!?!
I NEED MY SALT
There's a massive difference between concurrent players and players per day.
Great post, upvo- I mean based.

There's a metric fuckload of games like this (pic related is one of my favorites right now), but Risky 1 and Risky 2 are still probably the best. Once you git gud at them, you can really turn your brain off like you say you wanna do. Other run based games actually require focus and attention.

Goes to show you that you don't need marketing when you make a fun game and then make another fun game later. All you need to do to succeed is keep making fun games. AAA is too bloated with worthless nobodies that can't justify their job.
in all fairness the game was advertised at PAX during gearbox's little thing, but yeah, minimal marketing otherwise

Anyone have a download link?
Early access games don't typically get cracked because updates are very frequent. It's a lot of work. As far as I know I don't think there's a copy you can pirate but I didn't scour the Internet. I just haven't seen it on the places I usually go.
I pirated it just fine.
probably, and that's a lot smarter than generic marketing for a game like this. big name streamers played it cuz they just got free copies, and that just generated more and more launch hype
>ALL of the content included in our first update will be new content to the Risk of Rain universe.
