I think we are about to witness some paradigm shift.

So proud of my fellow PC gamers.

 

[Revolutionary]

Damn, this weekend's CCU will probably be at least 200k

 

[delishcaek]

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

How many CCUs do you think it'd have if the MC looked like this but everything else about it was the same?

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Didn't play this when it came out on console. Might check it out. I don't care about the big tits and nice ass in a game, but is the gameplay any good? Challenging with depth?

I haven't gotten around to the full game yet but spent at least 5 hours in the demo just messing around with the combat and farming. Jokes in here aside, I couldn't give a shit less about the protag's design. If anything, I find it silly.

I'm no Char Action or Fighting expert but I've been playing, and loved, them all from DMC to Ninja Gaiden to Bayonetta and so on. I had a lot of fun with this combat system and felt like there was a lot of opportunity to style on enemies, new moves to unlock and all. It's absolutely not just Titties: The Game and everyone forgets about the gameplay quality imo. I really liked it and bpught it in spite of that.

 

[SolidQ]

Demo runs well on my 1060

That one of reason why is high players CCU

 

[ssringo]

Kind of unrelated, but me buying depends on this question. With it having denuvo will I be able to play it on my legion go without Internet?

Denuvo, afaik, requires online at first launch, after updates or hardware changes and periodically. Dunno if the time frame for periodic checks are developer or denuvo mandated.

So long as you launch it the first time with online you should be okay for a bit. But the longer you stay offline the more likely you are to run into needing reverification.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Holy crap, 150k? Never expected that on a Thursday like this. Well bloody done!

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Beating Veilguard, AC Shadows, TLOU2...

Lmao.

Okay that should be fine, my device is connected pretty much every day at home. I just like to take it with me to work.

 

[Madflavor]

Make a fun game with a hot protagonist will do great numbers. Who knew?

 

[Hypereides]

Visual representation of those numbers.

 

[ssringo]

Just crossed 176k. Puts it ahead of the likes of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Fall Guys and Manor Lords. The 180k range has GTAV enhanced, Satisfactory and Warframe.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Sheesh 174k now? Color me impressed. I thought it would take the weekend to sniff these kind of numbers.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

How many CCUs do you think it'd have if the MC looked like this but everything else about it was the same?

Probably as many Barves as I'm pulling right now.

 

[Gaiff]

I think there's a pretty decent chance it sells better than on PS. It took 2 months for it to sell 1 million on PS5. With 173K CCUs on Steam before the weekend, 1 million in a week seems plausible.

I didn't think it would sell anywhere near as well, but what do I know?

 

[Hypereides]

[tmlDan]

this tells me one thing, and it's not a good thing, about PC players.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

 

[Steve Holt]

Crazy its doing such big numbers vs sonys first party. Im doing my part.

Starting to think that Sony lives rent free in your head dude

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Visual representation of those numbers.

I was trying to find this gif lol, that's what the steam graph is looking like now.

 

[JayK47]

Wow. Impressive. I am glad to see a game like this do well. Message sent. I wonder if it will be received. Game journalists are baffled.

 

[pudel]

You give the public what they want in a game + denuvo to prevent piracy = good numbers.

I doubt Denuvo plays a role here. There are enough games which have proven this already. It just seems to be a good game with sexy characters and thats basically all it needs to be successful.

 

[ClosBSAS]

That one of reason why is high players CCU

Damn that 1070 still a beast

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

So far the port is pristine. ShiftUp showed how anemic western devs are with both Unreal and Denuvo.

 

[Kotaro]

181K!!!!

 

[proandrad]

I didn't see this title crushing it on Steam like that. Those numbers are straight-up wild for a year old single player game. Looks like the Chuds are backing up their big talk with actual cash, probably because they're out here buying and playing video games for real instead of online cosplaying as gamers. Another rare W for the incel crew.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

I hope that the industry takes notice.

If I wanted to spend my time looking at ugly "realist depictions of our diverse society" I would spend my free time at the fucking mall (or in front of the mirror). I play to have fun and have some deserved escapism.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I only mentioned it because I was reading the numbers of their other games on pc that someone posted here.

Anyway, seems like its doing super great which is awesome news. Im a couple of hours in.

 

[Strategize]

A 7/10 gooner game beating the likes of Expedition 33 and RE4 remake is kind of wild. But quality is like 5th on the list of importance to most PC gamers so it is what it is I suppose.

 

[Gonzito]

lmao, he says forspoken as an example of good character design

My god

If the game is like 7/10 but making incredible number on Steam, it is sending a message that beautiful character design does matter.

It was always weird how realism was the excuse used. If it's about realism, why is it only about bodies? Like no one has ever complained about characters not depicting realistic combat skills.

 

[proandrad]

If I was a gaming CEO I would just outsource all game development out of North America. Asian studios make games faster and on budget. Most importantly making games that appeal to people who buy games.

 

[Sintoid]

Cant wait to see the name of the Humble Bundle containing this game someday in the future

 

[Gonzito]

Just went to resetera and everyone there is triggered lmao

 

[Steve Holt]

Happy to see this doing so well.

Remember the criticism the studio was receiving because of the character models. Glad they stuck to their guns and got the acclaim the game deserves

Can't wait for what they do next.

 

[Saber]

Why? What's his problem?

He was the first and only person on DF to ever to talk against sexuality in the game if I'm not mistaken. Dumbest take ever, thats why he got reputation as Retardalia.

 

[Greggy]

That will look good on my Ally X.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

lmao deiera is indeed pretty interesting right now

 

[Strategize]

The message that it's okay to make mid, rip-off better games like Nier and give your character zero personality as long as she has pornstar proportions? Oh joy.

If you check out the girl after which Eve is modeled, you will realize that Eve isnt even unrealistic.

Almost forgot about this shit lol

You don't like Frey? Ella balinska is hot.
Not Korean level hot. But hot

This is a classic ERA ignorant take.

Considering that the combat is miles ahead of Nier, enemy desig is better, bosses are memorable and graphics are so much better, your post couldnt be any wronger.

Nier has better music (not by much) and much better story / game structure. That's about it.

 

[Fake]

What a stupid guy holy shit.

I actually tried to play Forspoken, as it was "free" on extra. I just couldn't. The continuous banter drove me insane.

 

[Skifi28]

Damn, PC bros doing their part. Let's go 200k, the game deserves it!

 

[vagabond-]

another chud victory, retard era must be imploding banning folks randomly

fun gameplay and parry, hot ass korean woman and good pc port ftw
