Support NeoGAF

[Cumulus]

if the reviews don`t crash the hypetrain I can see 500k happening.

 

[phant0m]

 

[leleine]

400k on day 1, can reach 1M a week later if the game is really good

 

[Rivdoric]

easily over 1 milion

chinese love that shit, game is getting hype everywhere.

last time i saw such hype was cyberpunk2077

i wont be shocked if it will hit 1,5 mil

Not a good thing then lol when you remember what the final product delivered at launch.

 

[Gubaldo]

875K

 

[Fbh]

400- 500k sounds realistic unless it somehow reviews really poorly or there are a lot of tech issues.

There seems to be quite a bit of hype, and I think Koreans will also show up to support the game. Stellar Blade did almost 200K with a late port launching over a year after the Ps5 release.
This seems to have significantly more hype and it's actually a proper day 1 launch on PC.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Even my non-gamingcentric bros have heard of this game lately.

It's gonna be big.

 

[pepeno]

Not a good thing then lol when you remember what the final product delivered at launch.

Cyberpunk2077 had almost milion players ccu. And on PC it was amazing experience. Some bugs but it was no ps4 version. I personally finished game 3 times in a row with 1.0 version and I had only graphical bugs here and there.

 

[HRK69]

Time to press F5 boys

 

[winjer]

So far, 97,750 CCU peak

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

If not for reviews I think it could reach 300k at least. 130k for now.

 

[kruis]

So far, 97,750 CCU peak

Four minutes later: 131,169 CCU peak ...

 

[N30RYU]

Four minutes later: 131,169 CCU peak ...

157,279 CCU peak

 

[FlexioCZ]

157,279

 

[kruis]

It's almost midnight in Europe. That will keep the CCU number down. But on the other hand, Asia is waking up. This weekend is going to see a huge CCU peak, that's for sure.

Oh, now 177,939

 

[winjer]

Almost at 200K.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I voted 200-250k due to being a hyped game, but lower than 300k+ due to the meta backlash. This last update went from 177k > 194k, so I think it's going to blow right past my guess.

 

[zabegan34]

350-400k.
it sucks for EU, too late. 23:00

 

[kruis]

207,196

 

[Amish Prince]

207,196

More... We have to go higher

 

[Plague Doctor]

207,196

 

[Antwix]

man, i picked 250k. looks like i may be way off. hope it goes to the moon! i bet a shit ton of people still downloading.

[MMaRsu]

I am

 

[manlisten]

About to blow right past my prediction of 200-250

 

[Metnut]

This will peak on Saturday and Sunday morning (US time) like many games popular in Asia do. I think 500K is doable.

 

[pulicat]

This game will be a testament that IGN review is a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously.

This has been the way for a long time ... for the entire gaming "press" at large.

 

[GHG]

Under 200k haters already dealt with, 300k and under will be done in the next hour or so.

 

[Ferdimage]

Time to play my part and bump up those numbers.
Booting up.....

 

[Plague Doctor]

All I know is Crimson Desert fans are complete Unemployed and Maidenless bastards who don't observe National Poultry Day.

Fuckers should be out celebrating Poultry Products.

 

[PSFore]

RE9 rose at a faster pace- but it didn't take as long to unpack and play. The US and Asia will have to supply the players for the next 5 hours, it's late in the EU.

 

[Sanepar]

Under 200k haters already dealt with, 300k and under will be done in the next hour or so.

People gave a Review with only 1 hour playing It?

 

[StueyDuck]

Koreans are gonna support this game either way, numbers are gonna be mental.

You cant really measure korean or chinese game ccu to others, they support their own in large numbers

I fried some chicken strips today. Just got done eatin'em and bout to fire CD up now.

 

[Moondoggy]

On a Thursday no less.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Around 240k. Good result for Thursday. Let's see if it can reach 300k+ during the weekend. The game is big so CCU should hold for some time.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Okay. This is an acceptable compromise.

BTW, this joke backfired on me. Now I want chicken strips.

 

[phant0m]

On a Thursday no less.

I member that gamers don't play on Thursdays from the Marathon thread

 

[KanKamAndNob]

I chose 250-300k, so right now it's falling short of that. Going to be buying it tomorrow on PS5, but 230k is still good.

230K is actually really good for a Thursday, watch the game do 500K+ tomorrow.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Less than I expected tbh.

 

[OuterLimits]

Less than I expected tbh.

Yeah, currently at 223,000 after peaking today at 239k. Maybe reviews hurt it a bit more than I expected.

Perhaps it has a good surge this weekend though

Prob doordashed some chicken fingers

 

[Kotaro]

march madness kinda hurt it

 

[delishcaek]

240k is prolly the peak. This game will filter people hard. The middling reviews aren't helping. It's also sitting at mixed on Steam and a common complaint (as expected) are controls and how heavy Kliff feels.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was the peak and it's downhill from here.

Idc anyway, I'll be enjoying this for the coming weeks, but this is a game that will not click for everyone.

Death Stranding 2 on the other had seems to be great. Will play this during the summer when I'm done with CD.

 

[Arsic]

I guessed right for open day at 200-250K.

That review scores hurt it but if word of mouth is good it'll rise up.

 

[KanKamAndNob]

march madness kinda hurt it

Would there be much overlap between Crimson Desert fans and basketball fans? I don't like sports, so maybe I'm completely off base but I don't think there would be much there to begin with.

 

[Gaiff]

march madness kinda hurt it

Being a single-player mmo hurt it even more.

Tons of overlap, march madness is HUGE in the US
