LEGO Horizon Adventures Peaks at 602 Concurrent Users on Steam

Safe to say this is a failure on Sony Playstation's part. When even DQ3 Remake's peak CCU is multiple folds higher.

This is so unbelievably wrong.

The second blue ocean resides in the game types that PC gamers like.

Helldivers 2 shows us that. Every single one of PlayStations studios needs to start making games for the PC and console audience, not just the console audience.

This is one game. The only other game is a Marvel IP and the first game of their biggest IP on PS5 (GoW 1)

FW was the opportunity they had to turn Horizon into a massive franchise and they blew it. Story, writing, characters, was all bad and a huge step below the first. The gameplay had some nice iterations but Aloy was so unlikeable and the whole game was just like this parade of annoying freaks. To make a franchise, you need cool characters people like and an intriguing story, FW had neither.

Ragnarok was kind of the same thing. Sony hasn't done well with these sequels this gen, for whatever reason.

But GoW 2018 wasn't good either.

Even GoW Ragnarok kinda bombed on Steam. There is no second blue ocean on PC. The customers who buy their games on PC are also replacing their Playstation with a high end PC. They are doomed to fail if they follow MS strategy.

The reasons for GoW Ragnarok having less than half of GoW's all time CCU is much more multifaceted than you are reducing it to.

Yeah, as day 1 titles with lots of marketing and hype behind them. Shouldn't be a surprise to see them sell way less a year or two after they've released when all the hype is gone.

Again, Helldivers 2 is a nice example of how well a day 1 release can do on Steam.

Funny, the PC community keeps saying all the time how they are okay with waiting.

Man, Sony REALLY wants to make Aloy into an iconic character up there with Master Chief, Solid Snake, Lara Croft etc.

Ain't happening.
 
of course.
Hermen really thinks that borizon gets so much love? especially on pc? lol
And at 70$ for a lego game?
I mean, it looks kinda fun and then lego aloy can't fucking stop squeeking and speaking

You do realize Lego wanted to make the game and they approached Sony? And then Lego made the game, not Hermen and GG.

Did I miss something? Why does GAF hate Horizon so much? Is it just because they made Aloy's personality kind of insufferable in Forbidden West?

I don't recall a hate boner like this after HZD.

Insecure teenage boys. Although I must admit I haven't played Forbidden West yet so maybe my opinion will change.

It's that they took a solid game with Zero Dawn and then forced it to become a franchise when people were kinda fine with just the one game. And they keep insisting on making it happen, despite the main character being kind of a throwaway and the novelty of robo-dinosaurs wearing off pretty quickly even in the first game.

This game is just a complete audience mismatch. Horizon isn't really a kids franchise, and Lego is (while obviously not universally) more of a kids property. One cannot help but groan at this being thrown at us now.
 
I don't know who the first person to use Steam CCU numbers as an absolute indicator of whether or not a game is doing well, but my god you people know how to run something into the ground.

In what world is Steam the primary platform for little kids playing lego games? This game is going to sell a lot of Playstation and Switch over the next 2 months. Most people are not going to be playing it on Steam.

Steam CCU is not the be-all/end-all for sales performance.

Astro Bot showed that most things can be 'kidified'. All my kid wants to do is watch me run through the Zero Dawn map finding Tall Necks to climb. All that from 1 level in Astro Bot where you play as Aloy.

You honestly think people expected Horizon to be a one and done game? Since when does that happen with Sonys internally developed AAA games? (Except for Housemarque games that is) If a game does well you make a sequel, there is nothing unusual with that.
 
Hey everyone, I bet this didn't sell on Switch either. Aloy and Horizon are not a draw after the 2nd game. I'm a huge Nintendo fan and would not buy this game on my PS5 Prah, much less my Switch, just saying.

Watch, Switch did not save this puppy.

If they want to franchise Aloy they need to make her a better person. In her case, that means being nice, friendly, and less aggressive OR, and hear me out, make her go full Kratos and give her superpowers, but ya gotta pick a lane.

Really? Not a SINGLE comment has mentioned that, unlike the other Lego games,this one's banned in the majority of the world like all other Sony games. They've made people so used to this insanity that it's not even in the minds of hardcore.

And yes, by my calculations, roughly half of sales (and ccu) get cut off due to Sony's self-ban. Steam is a worldwide platform heavily used in developing countries unlike consoles which are primarily for developed regions. But with that said, this game would have still flopped with double CCU though.

It was a cool concept and practice, but a mid ip to cross-over.

Too bad theres not a lego elden ring or lego zelda so this game couldve been dunked on a third time.
