Double that at least. 120k at a minimum, and that's being pessimistic.
Consider that Steamspy only takes 1/3 of the total sample of accounts for each day. 100k being already reached is a given, especially when the peak of concurrent users has surpassed 23k

It all depends on the second day number. If it jumps to 50k or more, then it'll surely reach 100k+ in a week. If it only jumps to, say 40k, maybe it can reach 75k. The problem is the port quality and user reviews. People won't be rushing to buy the game in the current circumstances.
I didn't know that but...
Exactly. Most games get a slightly smaller jump on the second day but I've seen some get equal or even bigger ones. I've also seen games not even get any second day jump to speak of (Xanadu Next
). Today's number is encouraging but tomorrow's will be a bit more revealing.A Fish Aficionado

Hmmmmm, debating on getting mafia 3 for $20. Worth it for the story?

YouTube is free.
The cutscenes are pretty cool, but most of them were prerendered. The mission designs have no variety to speak of, you don't really want to actually play it.

Nier runs at 50-60fps for me at 1080p borderless with 2x MSAA and everything else high on an i5 4670k, GTX 970, 16GB, SSD install. Cutscenes run at 30fps with stuttering which is annoying. Game seems to be really good but I did die before unlocking the ability to save so I have to start from scratch lol.
Mafia 3 is a weird game. It has some very good parts but it's all negated by the lousy mission design. The open world is gorgeous, story and acting are good, combat is good, driving is great and the music is amazing. Even the main story missions are pretty good but you have to do a lot of secondary content to unlock the main missions. And it's this content that is incredibly repetitive and dull and can just ruin the whole experience. Another issue is that PC performance was not good at launch but I don't know if they've fixed that now. The open world has nothing to do in it aside from some lousy fetch quests. This is actually how it's been for every Mafia game though but it does mean that about a quarter of the map goes almost entirely unused throughout the game.
So, the game does have it's merits but the mission structure really drags the experience down.

Oh sweet, I had no idea this was coming out so soon. Love me some Rex Rocket. Checking the review out now.
Edit: Good stuff, liked the review, thanks for the heads up!

Would you consider nier to be a good port?
It seems it's kinda demanding for its looks.
I want to play so bad.

Hard to say. Some folks say this is a good port but then others are having trouble running it in fullscreen or it's a bit too demanding to play this at 60 FPS.
It's pretty much a tug of war. However, maybe this was one of the reasons why Squeenix was so silent about this port.
Nier is WAY too demanding on hardware for what it looks like compared to other games with more advanced graphics tech.
Fun game, but very un-optimized port. Fullscreen resolution is busted. Shadow resolution is bad. The game NEVER hits 60. The frame limiter is also busted. It' hangs at 59.3-59.8. The AA solution hardly does anything other than eat up resourses. You have to set AA to x8 and activate AO for you to work.
Hopefully the game does well enough for them to fix this. I highly doubt we'll see a patch for anything any time soon.

TB gave it a pass, ignoring the fact that he's got a Pascal Titan X, so my only hope is that someone like Digital Foundry takes the port to task to highlight the extreme demands the game seems to be making on most machines. At first, I thought I just got unlucky, but the more I read about it, the more it seems like something might actually be wrong with the game itself.
I can dream ;-;;
Todays my birthday!
Time to play Nier.

Remember that's a game that only runs 1080/60 with drops on the Pro.
Now you can argue that it doesn't look like it should be that demanding... but that's not a port problem, that's a general game problem.
Curious where those whitescreen/crash issues others have mentioned come from though.
I've played 4 hours yesterday without a problem.

Performance seems to be pretty in line with the PS4 versions.

Happy birthday mate.
Nier seems to be a bit like a KT port, only it's Nier so people aren't going hard on it and refunding it.
The game in general is kind of badly performing but it's not specific to the PC version.

Thing is no one expected 60fps from a Platinum game on any console.

I put 9S into passive mode (interact with him for the option to do so) that way in combat situations it's just me whooping arse. It is still kinda easy, though.

dat peak
I don't know who is updating Downwell but man did they effed it up these recent updates. Now I can't go higher than 44 FPS in gameplay.
Has any content been added to the game? Blazed through it in a few hours when it came out but I never felt like going back after clearing the well once.

Just seen this review for Styx 2 earlier on
http://letsplayvideogames.com/2017/03/review-styx-shards-of-darkness/
Ugh, a bit overly harsh?
Yeah this stealth game has great stealth but the writing is bad, so it's a 5.5/10? :/
I don't want to get into review bashing (especially given some recent threads) but that's weird

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
While the score strikes me as a bit odd considering the praise the reviewer gives the level design, I can see how the game's writing could affect the overall experience and bring down everything good.
(Speaking generally here, not played either Styx)
