"THIS is the kind of stuff we want"

Feels like Palworld again. Wonder if it will have a 99% player drop in 2 months.

What does it matter? These are not free to play games. Helldivers 2 also it sold upwards of 10m copies. All these games made crazy money. Even if they died tomorrow they still achieved (financially at least) their goal.

People give too much importance to ccu. They matter but in context.

Being a single player game it is expected to drop a big chunk of the players after a short time.

 

[feynoob]

This is wild. Do we know how well it's doing on Xbox?

40-90 hours depending on your play style.

 

[SushiReese]

EXCEEDED 1.5 MILLION.
Maybe 2 million record is not that far away.

1.6 million now

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

We are going to see a steep drop off when Concord goes live.

 

[DannyDanger]

Really enjoying the consistent L's woke losers have been talking since Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[Bodom78]

On a more serious note, how will the publisher get by with the dozens of lost sales from the resetera crowd?

 

[DavidGzz]

Closing in on 1.7 on a Tuesday.

 

[demigod]

wtf man had no idea the hype was off the scale like this

I'm not surprised with good reviews. Sun Wukong is really popular in Chinese Mythology.

 

[feynoob]

1.6 million now

It crossed 2.5m sales already.

 

[StueyDuck]

Amazing success.

Hilarious to see the responses from the outrage brigade.

Also, how long until every other Western dev green lights a game marketed to the Chinese market…

They've been doing so for a while, blizzard censoring activists. Ubisoft censoring, I think it was siege, to appeal to the Chinese market.

But I imagine many execs are looking at their dei teams and looking at this games sales and having second thoughts.

Fingers crossed

What lost sales? That crowd is just pretending on the forum for brownie points. They will be buying it behind closed doors.

 

[Madserb2023]

I am really annoyed that this has done well as I am super woke. You suckers enjoy this game, I'm going to be eating well with Concord...

 

[StueyDuck]

Fingers crossed

Wait no further than concord release . Gonna be a helluva time

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

We are going to see a steep drop off when Concord goes live.

And Dustborn too:

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I for one welcome Xi Jinping as our new overlord

 

[Wesleyalucard]

I want to play Phantom Blade Zeroooo

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

And Dustborn too:

The meme potential of these two games is through the roof.

 

[winjer]

These numbers are insane. And it's only considering the PC version.
I wonder if it will reach 2 million.

 

[Diddy X]

It's 7pm in China but Steam usually reaches its peak active users in about 6 hours.

It will reach 2m. This is just weekdays numbers.

 

[DannyDanger]

One guy in the retardera thread was mad that most of the discourse in China is negative towards retardera and the ign article due to the bad translation.

Like... how do you choose to believe an IGN article over a whole country, that speaks the language natively. Insane.

I wasn't gonna get this game, because I still haven't played Elden Ring, but now I feel obligated

 

[deeptech]

If this games' success don't wake up western companies so they start making actual games again freely, idk what will.

 

[The artful mincer]

It's 7pm in China but Steam usually reaches its peak active users in about 6 hours.

That's for popular western games. Popular Asian games peak in about 1 and half hours.

 

[twilo99]

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

1.7

Crazy

1.7 million now it's beating Palworlds record today. It might get close to PUBG...

 

[SushiReese]

1.6 million now

Wukong has hit 1.7 m+ concurrent players on Steam

 

[Diddy X]

That's for popular western games. Popular Asian games peak in about 1 and half hours.

Yeah but we still don't know how good it will do in NA.

 

[The artful mincer]

Lol it gaining 10,000s by the minute

 

[LordCBH]

Return to monke

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

The meme potential of these two games is through the roof.

Black Myth Wukong kicking ass, Star Wars Acolyte canceled, Concord + Dustborn bombas imminent, all within a 24 hour span.

Guess we're learning what "modern audiences" actually want.

 

[ArtHands]

I am really annoyed that this has done well as I am super woke. You suckers enjoy this game, I'm going to be eating well with Concord...

less than 6 hours to launch for Corcord digital deluxe edition!

 

[SmokSmog]

 

[StueyDuck]

Basically just make a Chinese game and add Korean waifus.

Like the ultimate billion dollar project

I mean I like that the modern audiences games are getting shat on...

But I also don't just want Chinese/waifu games

 

[Stafford]

That's quite incredible. But I read that the game comes for free with Nvidia cards, this true?

There is like zero waifu npc in this game though.
One of the "complaints" from Screen Rant's review

 

[DenchDeckard]

Why does it feel like all the break out earth smashing hits are on PC nowadays?

I feel we haven't heard of any massive break away hits driven by console this generation. It's all PC

 

[ZiriusOne]

1.8 million now.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

 

[Draugoth]

r/Gaming is banning anyone who speaks about this positively and removing posts.

 

[StueyDuck]

That was my point. To make the ultimate game for sales you mix the two

 

[SushiReese]

Wukong has hit 1.7 8 m+ concurrent players on Steam

 

[feynoob]

I'm not surprised with good reviews. Sun Wukong is really popular in Chinese Mythology.

Goku is based on him. God of high school. It's like batman/superman level of popularity.

 

[Revolutionary]

That's quite incredible. But I read that the game comes for free with Nvidia cards, this true?

Yes, that's how I got my copy. Nvidia runs "free game with GPU purchase" promotions pretty often, actually.

 

[Darchaos]

Poor tards over at Reeee: I don't get it, and I don't pretend to understand the process behind how those decisions are made, but it's frustrating and disheartening to see a game from these horrible human beings taking over the front page. Seems like limiting discussion to one thread would be the least that could be done.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Just passed CS2, poor Concord waiting to launch
