Single player games are a flash in the pan everywhere, not just Steam. You won't see them being the most played games for months, this just doesn't happen. COD, Fortnite, GTA online, and sports games always dominate the top. It's the same on Xbox and PS. A new single player game comes out, it's among the most played for a few days or weeks, and then it gets supplanted by the regular multiplayer games.
Not outside of PlayStation land, they aren't.
Yeah, BG3 and BMW are such terrible games. The Ubisoft open world shit like Horizon and Spider-Man is so much better.
Yeah im pretending i you didnt say something that stupid
Decidedly worst according to who? Fucking paid journos who tried to tell us shit-tier Veilguard is great? Tell us more.
Don't care about a bunch of paid award ceremonies.
Sour grapes? The games are available and PC gamers don't care about them all that much.
Oh, fuck off. You're the one getting offended because they don't give a shit about your Sony games. You're the one always whining about Sony porting their games and devaluing their franchise as if they owed you shit. You're the one always bitching in PC threads about PC players not buying Sony games and acting like a spoiled brat because they don't buy them in droves, and then you have the nerve to call us entitled when you're the one always throwing tantrums because you feel slighted at PC gamers not especially caring about Sony games.
Best-seller isn't the same as most played. FF VII Rebirth was briefly among the best sellers. It never sniffed the most played titles. Spider-Man 2 is currently the second top-selling premium title after Civ VII, yet you don't see it anywhere near the most played games.
I mean, what else is to argue? You're conflating most played with best selling. Spider-Man 2 is the second best selling paid game at the moment on Steam, yet it isn't among the most played, is it?
I game on every platform, unlike your troll ass. I don't feel PlayStation games belong to me and I don't get upset when other people get to play them. I don't care where they are available outside of where I play. You're the one acting like a real dick about Sony games being ported to PC. You're the one with the insufferable elitist attitude, criticizing PC gamers for playing GAAS and when you're shown PS gamers are no better in that regard, you resort to nonsensical defense. No one owes you shit, kid. Not Sony, not PC gamers, no one. People play what they want to play. You can get upset and angry and go on your fanboy rants all you want, it won't change anything. Elitist attitude when you posted beautiful stuff like this:
But PC gamers are the ones with the elitist attitude lmao?
Except when they do.
Limited pallets lmao. The weird niche titles almost always find an audience on PC first. Console games is pretty much all AAA action games. WTF are you talking about? Where does odd novelty stuff like Goat Simulator, Lethal Company, Rocket League, or Among Us first finds an audience? PC gamers on the contrary have much broader tastes than console gamers, which is one of the key reasons the appeal of big games is diluted there because there is so much variety. Calling PC gamers' tastes limited compared to console gamers is the epitome of irony when big PlayStation games are pretty much all story-driven third person action games.
But it's the same on PC? Elden Ring, BMW, Cyberpunk, even games like TW3, Skyrim, and Fallout remain among the best sellers for years. They don't just disappear into irrelevance. They remain among the top 20, 30, or even top 10 for a long time. You just won't see them among the most played games at any given time past their release window and the same goes for console single player games.
Not according to the Game Awards
Not according to the Game Awards
"Because they're great games"
Not according to PC gamers.
Sadly for you, it seems like PC gamers don't care particularly much about the opinions of yours or USA Today's.USA Today disagrees
"Everyone should think what I think"
Then why are you in every Sony release thread arguing for pages on end and criticizing PC gamers for not buying them enough? Those games are late and the port often mediocre. The bulk has been sold to PS users, and PC players have different tastes. What exactly do you want?
Spider-Man 2 crashes and is unplayable for many. Look at GOT, GOW, Rift Apart, or Returnal. Fairly positive reviews because they were largely devoid of big problems. On the contrary, PC gamers tolerate a lot of bullshit except when it gets out of hand. Dead Space has like 90% positive reviews despite it being known for being full of stutters.
But why should they be buying FF VII Rebirth? Because you say so? The game is selling decently. It's not setting the world on fire, but it's been among the top 20 best sellers for a few weeks. It's a late okay-ish port that didn't do all that hot on PlayStation either.
You also called us entitled and the worst fanbase in gaming. Was that also cherry-picked and taken out of context? For the record, I'm no "PC gamer", I just game on whatever platform has the best version of games I want to play. Currently, I'm playing Astro Bot and think it should be outselling every PS game of the past 5 years, yet you won't see me crying about what PlayStation gamers are or aren't playing. You clearly have a problem with PC gamers and act like they don't deserve PlayStation titles. You expect Sony games to have high numbers despite the ports being very late with little effort put into them. If Sony wants big numbers, they need to treat PC gamers like PlayStation customers, but we know they won't. They treat them like an afterthought. Well, their games will also be an afterthought to the PC audience. Simple as that.
You said FF7R was better than Metaphor. As if some objective fact of the world. Millions, including the TGA jury enjoyed Metaphor more. Stop run around as if everyone should abide by your opinions. Part of life is accepting that others don't particularly care about one's personal preferences.
What's holding them back is that those are late or very late ports in genres that don't have that much appeal on PC. Third-person story-driven action games are the biggest on PlayStation. That'd be like taking CPRGs or strategy games, porting them to console a year later and wonder why they aren't selling as much as on PC.
I mean, this is mind boggling stupidity. Stick to your Sony consoles, genius. You know fuck all about PC gaming.
Lack of sales according to what? The PlayStation version? Of course, they won't sell nearly as much. Lack of sales compared to Sony's expectations? I have no idea whether or not their sales target are being met. They spend millions in market research and have access to internal data we're not privy too. Only they know whether or not the sales are lacking.
The hotfix was already released, but you can't just release a broken product. It didn't get bad reviews due to entitlement. It got bad reviews because it's been unplayable due to crashes and freezes, and is full of bugs.
I'm sure it would have done comparable numbers if it had come out Day 1. Persona 5 Royal peaked at 35K, slightly below FF7 Rebirth.
It came out 1 month later, not 1 year.
Old mate is off his meds againI saw this thread is having new posts very rapidly, turns out it's my man James again fighting the good fight again for Sony.
The franchise would make more sense as games tied in with the films. Write and storyboard a great spider man film that's way too long for the big screen and use the excess for the video game. This way seeing the movie and playing the game would provide the full movie experience. The video game would allow us to find out more about things than the movie has the time to show.
Cool, but if somebody would want to give me Spiderman 2 for free i would sue them for harassment.Oh no, what a terrible sales performance. How will Sony ever recover from this:
Man you really are a baby Arent you.
Sure, if you don't have your own successful store like Sega, Capcom, Rocksteady and many others successful publishers (The Witcher 3 publisher). But if you have your own successful store (raking in billions of revenue) locked on your locked hardware, why would you want ton incentivize your customers to buy your games elsewhere for less money and encouraging them to buy GPUs, investing in another hardware, instead of your own hardware?
It lost the top spot already.Oh no, what a terrible sales performance. How will Sony ever recover from this:
I didn't know Michael Myers was in Spiderman.
