@UltimateOtaku91 it used to be a thing with ps now iirc.
I remember having terrible internet and just playing whatever I could downloaded on psnow but without being connected to the internet and I needed to go back online after a while.

@Deadlyblack the same forbes reporter that broke this news confirmed sales split was sth like 70% pc.

@INeedGoodGraphics that's concurrent users, as in users on at the same time, so the total amount of unique log ins will be more.
In the same sense the last peak of 34~ sth thousand players doesn't mean about 50k players quit it, but quite a bit more.
But even then Otaku's numbers are way off and no way in hell will this game be 'fine', if the best selling game of last year in bf6 is catching mass layoffs and even epic is letting go of devs with their massive fortnite hit.
I don't see how anyone thinks Sony is gonna be happy with these numbers lmao

@PocketHotDogs this website gave it a 3/10? Undeserved but not surprising coming from this website haha
@Oram77 I didn't even get to Ines, got to Hailey and even got another Descendant slot from that merchant for futureproofing my slots lol but it just took too long for content to arrive.
Got all the cheevs and managed to beat the bosses in pubs so I was happy.
But I get the powercreeps comment, even Hailey was too overpowered already with her near insta kill on bosses....

@Oram77 I miss bunny gang 🙏
I still fondly remember the early days of Ult Bunny. I clocked about 400 hours into this game myself, mechanically it was actually pretty fun to play, fun pve boss fights.
Eventually I really just finished the game. Nothing left to do.

@Fiendish-Beaver damn that's tough.
For what it's worth my friend could see at birth as well but her sight gradually got worse to full blindness.
There's surprisingly still quite a few games she can play on xbox. I'm sure it's a case by case but it might get better for your mate man. Especially given that xbox is full on at working on their accessibility options.
Quite looking forward to getting to play horde again with her in E-Day when it releases.

@Fiendish-Beaver oh yh horde was good fun tbf, at one point I played it lots with a blind friend of mine

Oh niceee was hoping we'd get sth on gow this years
@Fiendish-Beaver damn bro 2000 hours in gears 5 is crazy 😭

@SuperSilverback probably wouldn't have too big of an impact tbh but Tau Ceti appears in the movie!
It's got a few breathtaking shots of the planet and they make it look so intriguing.
In addition we live in an era of multimedia crossovers, people love to make edits, memes, fan art and whatnot.
Now the movie is received extremely well and you'd think any sci-fi nerds would wanna get into Marathon as well especially given that its visuals are very striking, whether you like em or not they give off a similar feeling.
And yet since the movie's release I've only seen one person mention it 😭
Sad really. I haven't played Marathon past the Server Slam but when I was watching the film it made me think of the game haha

What's crazy as well is the game didn't pick up any players after the release of Project Hail Mary, it both manages to fail attracting new players and retain its current playerbase. It's just in a freefall rn losing over half its pc playerbase in less than a month.
Destiny 2 went f2p within 2 years and one month, I reckon Marathon will pull it off a bit quicker.
Arc's releasing its new map in a month as well, not looking good for bungo.

@Rich33 huh isn't that normal 😂
Why buy a phone more often than that

@TooManyBrownies yh I agree on all accounts, wasn't into gaming a lot when destiny 2 released but I wouldn't be surprised if they take the same route in going f2p with Marathon within the year. Their big endgame update that these publications were waiting for barely helped move up the ccu whereas arc raiders was just moving up regardless and had seen a 20% increase after a three week period.

@TooManyBrownies the ccu is a bit worrying isn't it, bungie seems to be listening to the community and have now had their big content drop, word of mouth is great and most people playing it seemingly love it, reviews are good as well and yet the numbers keep dropping week over week instead of rising.
Every big new game released since or around the same time (slay the spire, resi9 and crimson desert) have announced their sales numbers and yet sony remain silent on this one. Bit odd.

@SystemAddict she's in like every nd project for the last few years lmao, dunno what she did to warrant that

@Hi569 yooooo I wonder how that would have actually changed public perception because Stella Montis was such a change in the general playstyle given it was so much more skewed towards pvp.

@Northern_munkey dang Marathon has late joins as well? I know you played Arc, would you say Marathon has done anything different in that regard given the complaints in Arc about loot being gone when you join very late.

This is a new low for this website.
I get waiting for a review when a dev made a mistake and would want time to fix it by pushing a day one update.
But giving them a whole month to try and better their product?
And this is coming from the same publication that just posted those Crimson Desert articles the other day, favoritism on display is mad 😂
"Bungie has asked critics to consider not submitting scored reviews until this is available, and we’re going to respect that."
I feel like some publications might also report on this before launch but maybe that's just me 🤔
Shame on you.

@UltimateOtaku91 ah first half of your comment set me back but I'm actually playing gow ragnarok atm and I'm kinda missing gow 2018's simplicity so that's nice to hear, I'll def start it soon thx g

@dskatter just clocked that as well, never actually played the first one and didn't realize they are this succesfull.

@UltimateOtaku91 oh how's echoes of the end? Downloaded it but not too inclined to start it yet

@LogicStrikesAgain comparing a game launched a few hours ago to years old games is crazy work 😭😂

@Perturbator probably on the lower end
Highguard had a higher peak on a Monday.
But I'd be interested to see this weekend's numbers and next week.

@Eadgar oh neat never knew that

I'm sure some bungie fans will buy it blind making it into a moderate succes at least.
Though more importantly I'm wondering what Sony is expecting from this game for sales.

@Eadgar tax refund in march?

Surprised it took them this long, those pc sales were dreadfully low
Only porting their live service outings is mad 😂

Am I reading this right? Base game only has 3 maps? And they're adding one map in the first three months?
Also putting "launch content" in a roadmap is crazy work 😂

@ButterySmooth30FPS but that's exactly it, look at the age of these games.
Most recent live action games don't manage to survive because their place is already taken and/or players are already satiated with what they have.
Really just simple maths

Damn nothing on the mh wilds expansion 🧐

#13 in top sellers on steam right now, I guess with the server slam nearly over people have made up their mind on whether they actually want it or not.

@BrintaPap yh you're onto something, this probably would have served as a good BR. I actually saw some other folks mention elsewhere it might pull a fortnite and release a br gamemode that will become infinitely more popular.
Your profile is class btw, Brinta 🐐🐐

@Verso-86 🔥 selection, can't wait to start kcd 2 next week.
Been five years since I played the first 😮‍💨

Numbers dwindling this hard over the weekend on day 2 is crazy, really does seem like a case of majority trying it and disliking it. Mh wilds kept gaining day over day whilst marathon isn't even hitting 40k atm, it seems like it's most liked by Americans 🤔

@Northern_munkey

because they've chosen to support this game because it's actually really good

Whilst they've definitely chosen to support this game I'm inclined to believe the majority don't like it enough to say it's "actually really good"

Yhhh I don't see this game surviving for that $40 price tag. Too slow and uneventful atm, like someone else mentioned the mouse cursor thing on console is aggravating to say the least.
The numbers look good on paper except for the fact that it's sandwiched inbetween highguard and arc so it's meaningless.
The Finals isn't an extraction shooter but it feels like a much better version of what they were trying to do here, flashy and visually striking game with some nice sfx and high octane combat.

@RoomWithaMoose had the exact same thought, I'm normally willing to give a new mp game a chance especially because this one looks visually striking but damn if this didn't feel like a missed opportunity as soon as I got out of the tutorial.

It's basically what I expected from the previews, the UX is a ***** mess.
Can't tell what's going on sometimes and even if what I'm looting is any good, paired with the extremely slow load times for searching containers it feels like I'm playing an rpg reading the descriptions for so long 😂
On the other hand it does look very stylish, sound design is nice and the colors pop.
The game lacks some interactivity though, I know they mentioned there's some pve puzzles and stuff later on but my matches have been so stale and devoid of life it's crazy 😂
Maybe sth to keep an eye on post launch. I reckon it might be a moderate 'success', can see Sony being happy initially. Just depends on the post launch support.

@ear_wig why would they require ps plus to try this out? Given their live service games track record and the simultaneous launch on xbox and pc that would make no sense, just cannibalizing sales on your own platform atp

@OldGamer999 they were developing that multiplayer spider-man game as well

@UltimateOtaku91 no one knows Herman Hulst because y'all keep misspelling his name lmao

@the_everything_gamer that's a crazy comparison 😭😭

@Northern_munkey tbf helldivers 2 was a sequel to an existing ip, and had the sony marketing going for it.
Arc came outta nowhere in comparison

Probably the best one they ever had, it's for the best they left Horizon Hunters Gathering out of it.
Though at the same time wonder what GG thinks of Sony's decision to do so.

@GamingGod the bungie name resonates with quality?

@PuppetMaster maybe try it yourself lol?

So how many people are left now

Lowkey want arc raiders to win it. Definitely won't because E33 exists but man Arc has me thinking about it all the time

@UltimateOtaku91 sleepy joe's done it again 😤

@SeaDaVie highly doubt it's to do with the bad launch, I think most people are just waiting for the expansion. Because their content updates are a tad lacking, I still haven't gone back for the last festival update they pushed out haha

@ThroughTheIris56 it doesn't, it does have some random paper but nothing resembling what you're on about

Skate Story looking mad good.
Devolver one of the best companies in the industry.
Hoping for a Shadow Warrior 4 🙏

This looks ass lmao what, the gameplay and animations look off

@3Above did it solo in 20 mins last night 😂
Got so close to being carted 😤

@Cakefish it's not even been 4 full months 😂
@Darylb88 it 'reached' 1,5m players, doesn't mean they sold a million copies.
If anything at this point we could surmise they were far off it.

@Drago201 can't call it definitive when you're planning on another remaster for the ps6
