Oh yes, Rage 2 came out like 2 hours ago and has 10,000 player peak in the middle of the night.
Definitely a flop.
RAGE 2 launched early
Now show us the current numbers instead of the peak
yikes on dikes
Unless they're a multiplayer game, only the peak matters
>risky 2 had a better launch with literally 0 marketing than burka combat that was basically shilled everywhere
best timeline, this is truely the redemption arc of vidya
Normies are finally catching up
mordhau: 20246 ingame
mortal kombat: 3460 ingame
risk of rain 2: 6101 ingame
dare I say, based?
No, it shows they have no replay value. DMC and Sekiro should still be pulling half their numbers, but they e been immediately forgotten
Just you wait america still has ? ? ? ? ?
>DMC and Sekiro should still be pulling half their numbers, but they e been immediately forgotten
nigga everyone and their grandmothers have finished both sekiro and dmc 5 by now, the most played singleplayer games are on life support due to mods, skyrim would have been forggoten after 2 years without them
>chance of precipitation 2
>1m+ sales
>still in early access
How did the madmen did it?
by being a decent human being and having the reputation of the first game, hotpoo is the only game dev I actually felt good for when I saw the launch day numbers
The single player game with the most current players right now on steam is actually rage 2, at number 24 on steamcharts.
Most people don't replay single player games for thousands of hours.
desu Rage 2 isn't even Steam exclusive
>buy rage 2 on steam
>still have to go through the bethesda launcher
I'll never understand why people buy games on steam outside of a sale that force you through another launcher.
Well, where should they buy it and why? I ask because I've been on the fence about R6 Siege for years.
>thinking most people play fighting games on PC
it honestly should be higher for major releases -- and steam just has so many potential customers even small games like PUBG can still get half a million people playing
>Well, where should they buy it and why?
Yeah, dunno, maybe through the fucking launcher you have to use anyway and just skip going through steam?
Because I want the devs to get less money
Considering DMC3 and 4 were extremely replayable this is a grim outcome for DMC5
I blame shitty post-release support with the joke of a "bloody palace" mode. The game really needs those two rumored campaigns with vergil and girls (and with 6 characters being playable it would be time for an official versus mode)
Ah, I see. But I would rather give Steam some money if I'm going to pay anyway.
Buy siege on uplay, this isn't hard. All steam does is launch an outdated uplay client through steam so now you have a launcher opening a launcher to open your game.
I got for honor for free on steam
Whenever I feel like playing it once in a blue moon I still open it through steam instead of trying to use uplay's horrible ui
I don't know how bad bethesda's is but I can't imagine it's very good
To be fair RoR2 gave away a free key with every purchase before april.
How the fuck fighterz got from 40k players on steam to 1k
but if i buy it on uplay it wont be in my steam library so i can have all my games in one place REEEEEE
That's dandy and all but I talked about games you have to buy at full price.
This is what they get for fucking up the regional pricing.
>A$99.99
That fuck Todd was smoking?
>screenshot uploaded 40 minutes ago
>MEANWHILE, TOTAL ACTIVE PLAYER COUNT AT TIME OF SCREENSHOT
Go fuck yourself
My point was that games are worth getting on steam if the original launcher is garbage.
If you can't make your ui usable you deserve to lose 30% of the sale to people who can.
thankfully uplay is shitton better than steam
lol
>Fighting games
>PECEE
Cope
Won't even be above 5k by tomorrow. Best to get your refund now before Steam pulls a No Man's Sky.
>Considering DMC3 and 4 were extremely replayable this is a grim outcome for DMC5
DMC was always replayable only for muh combo autism and only for extremely small portion of playerbase. Normalfags never replayed it. Even people who replayed it on all dificulties finished the game several time month ago.
Western gaming is finally dying and that's a good thing!
Fighterz crashed insanely hard and anyone that uses its peak playerbase as a way to shit on other games is a retard because it lost 30k players in less than a week. It released the last week of January and in February it never went above 16k concurrent.
>DMC4
>replayable
lol not with those shitty enemy and level designs
FighterZ was still a success, Dr. Cuckold and Mr. Seethe
PCfags accepting japanese games that arent weebshit for serious weebs surprise me a bit. Would feel nothing if it was about consoles.
B-b-but one thread on Yea Forums a few days ago told be that "get woke go broke" is a dead meme. How can I dilate in peace now?
why do PC gamers hate shooters now?
Open world meme is not an FPS - especially a sequel to an already bad game
its a sequel that fundamentally has nothing to do with the original
If you make me go through your launcher if I buy the game on another platform then I will purposely buy the game on other platforms just for you to get less money
>Literally called RAGE 2
Based retard
naming conventions don't matter that much, any game should be able to stand on its own merits
What does that have to do with a game that's a sequel?
>sperging this hard
Are you that autistic faggot who lurks and posts the same things about games he doesn't like continuously?
what do you have against this game?
are you some trannie weeb who's built their life around weeb shit so much you need to actively attack anything else to justify your shitty existence?
why do retards think fighting games sell on pc
I don't have to think anything to try to prove an agenda to people who do think those things.
5 has about the same replayability as the older games, it's only lacking turbo mode which isn't really a difficulty setting and legendary dark knight which was neat.
did they actually expect rage to be popular?
with a picture of a screaming antifa bitch on the front? is that really how you want to advertise your game?
The buy one get one deal they had. That's what got me to buy.
guarantee it still made more money than most of the rest of that picture
"vote with your wallet" doesn't work as long as whales exist
>Evolve will surely last because of whales!
Oops
Having sex is better than dilating, tranny. Sadly men don't want to fuck monsters like you so enjoy opening your hole everyday.
People no longer playing it doesn't make all the money they made magically disappear
Why do retards think fighting games sell on consoles?
Ive been saying western games are dying for long time but none belived me
I did. I believed you user. You were right.
you are a retard if you think they dont
Fighting games are to be played on PC. Not on consoles.
>he didn't listen to him while he had a chance
90% of that image is multiplayer shit, what's your point?
not them, but that's not a controversial opinion at all on Yea Forums so I don't know why you would think that's b8
Yeah but the only people with low enough IQ's to play them use consoles
>90%
50%
Thank u for beliving user
>hating fighting games
Did you get sharked by someone on the /vg/ thread?
Tell me where the bad bad shark molested you.
>small games like PUBG
You’re a fucking retard, fighting games do better on consoles, and you need to kill yourself
They should, but for some reason FG developers can't get basic shit right. Their games are locked at 60fps, and drivers for stick compatibility have been written since Skullgirls did it in 2012. Shouldn't be that hard.
I don't hate fighting games, but they pander to low IQ people.
>dying
When 9/10 AAA developers never tried to go out of their comfort zone and made games other than shooter, they are already dead to me.
Sure user. Who sharked you?
RoR2 and Mordhau are the obvious gems out of the bunch.
Even tho I really wish for fast updates when it comes to RoR
Nobody plays or should be playing fighting games on PC. MK11 on steam is literally a console port, and gets updates later than console (devs don’t care). I don’t even play MK but clearly none of you have ever played a fighting game before.
Sorry kid but only sub 80 IQ ``people" would play games that have hundreds of dollars of dlc and new ``editions" every year or two that only add a new character or slightly re balance the game.
>when something I like isn't popular and doesn't sell, I'll make fun of people who even bring that argument up
>when something I don't like doesn't sell well and isn't popular, suddenly popularity means something
So that Bethesda doesn't get full cut
western games are dying under the weight of leftism pretty much
It's always nice when indies can draw in good numbers. Maybe someday we can have a publisher free industry.
Western gaming is dead - only thing that would save PC gaming would be a PC port of RDR2
This, and some of Yea Forums is in denial; you know (((who)))
>Nobody plays or should be playing fighting games on PC.
t. sony shill
and they are simply creatively bankrupt and aaa marketing has been collapsing
western aaa marketing is like a gambling. once one aaa game flops they have to fire a lot of employees
really makes you think
...Rage 2 came out?
>most normalfags stop playing games after the first time through
Say it ain't so bro.
What makes it worse is realizing dbfz and mk11 are online games and have fewer online players than single-player games. LOL.
Nah, console kids can keep their open world trash. On PC we have better things to play
And yes, western AAA is dying. But not because leftism. Because of the ridiculous budgets that prevent AAA devs from taking any sort of risks and force them to stick to stale "proven formulas". Pretty much all good games coming out of the west are indies at this point.
its seriously amazing to witness the absolute shitshow gen 8 has been for the west while Japan has probably had the best gen in ages
Okay what the fuck is Risk of Rain? I saw it get shilled on here but don't know shit about it.
Gen 8 was better for the west than gen 7 at least. Western AAA has been shit since around 2005, but at least we have good indies to take their place now.
the west was better of in gen 7, thats when their schemes where new and bribery became rampant
Was it? For me at least it went to shit around then. The MTX might not have been as bad, but the lack of creativity sure was. I consider 7th gen to be one of the worst ever. Legitimately a step back from the 6th gen. 8th is much better, with the resurgence of Japanese AAA and indies in the west
Because it's convenient to use Steam as a launcher to launch other launchers
>says current is better for Western devs
>proceeds to mention how much Jap devs have improved as though that backs his point.
lmao. You make the same mistake every stupid faggot with a japanese bias does. Japanese devs being shit in Gen 7, doesn't mean Western devs were shit. Gen 7 had some of the most successful original Western IPs of all time, most of which had entire trilogies.
>creativity was worse.
lmao get the fuck out of here.
>Gen 7 had some of the most successful original Western IPs of all time, most of which had entire trilogies.
Oh man, Gears of War was so fr*ckin' based!
See, what I mean. Weak-minded lmao.
I'm not OP. I don't really have a strong preference for western vs japanese. I just play whatever is good. Currently, that's japanese AAA and western indies
>creativity was worse
>lmao get the fuck out of here.
how fucking young are you
Creativity took a fucking nosedive in gen 7, you couldnt get a FPS off the ground if it wasnt some on rails epic console shooter like COD/Halo, fucking Timesplitters 4 died for this
Amen bro. Even as a kid I knew 7th gen was fucked. Nothing about the 360/ps3 really interested me so I spend most of that gen playing wii, flash games, and later minecraft. As an adult I've gone back and realized there were a few exceptions like Dark Souls, but by and large kid me was right. The 360/ps3 was a shitty waste of a generation.
It's the only thing they own and care about.
The niggers don't look at the bigger picture and just
keep posting those steam peaks.
>nobody should be playing fighting games on PC
Except for the people who want serviceable online and want more freedom to use whatever controller they want
On consoles you're more or less limited to local coop (not to bash local coop, I personally prefer it greatly) and even still you have to worry about the shitty d-pads on every single modern controller or get two fightsticks
Still had more original IPs and wider variety of genres than Gen 8.
>espionage games: dead

and on and on.
items and wurms
Maybe because of the cheap shitty chibi avatar menus
I'm genuinely happy about RoR2 and Mordhau doing well. But I'm also genuinely worried for both games that the devs just take the money to the bank and laze out on updates, because both games definitely need some
>I spend most of that gen playing wii, flash games, and later minecraft.
lmao.
FPS, better or worse, were just the most dominant meme. Every gen has one. But be that as it may, Gen 7 was still untouchable compared to this gen. There's no comparison. Only at the very end of Gen 7 did things sour... and then again, only on the 360 side.
The microtransactions, longer dev time, remasters, remakes, always online crap ruins the gen. You wanna talk creativity, yet most of the highest-rated, most played games in Gen 8 are remakes, remasters, or sequels to games created in Gen 7 or earlier.
being locked at 60fps is a mechanic of fighting games themselves, they always have been and always will be due to the nature of frame data and its function
Western AAA are bottom of the barrel trash this gen, you might have a some good ones like Doom or Prey but they're few and far between
i can't name a single good one to come out this year
SP games will never have as much replay value as MP ones.
Except when an MP game dies and you can't play anymore
Western games ditch sex appeal and nobody buys their games. Shocking
Literally what? The end of the generation was the only redeemable part. We got Minecraft, Dark Souls, Hotline Miami, The Last of Us. The first half was literally a dark age of gaming. Utterly shit awful. Next to no good console games came out in the first half. The only ones that come to mind are Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.
