I would burn my PS5 before I installed that fetid pile of shit.

I tried it for a few minutes and deleted it. Just so dull and boring. I should have known better. I made the same mistake with Callistol Protcol, and wasted 60-70.00$ on that unfinished junk when everyone said it was bad.

Someone needs to take all of the garbage games publishers have tried to release this generation for last gens digital deluxe prices and....

 

[semiconscious]

i've been told that a huge player engagement spike plus a dollar will get me a cup of coffee. true?...

 

[Skifi28]

I got a steam code for this with my CPU and never even bothered to install it

The CPU that is, the game was so bad it tainted even the hardware.

 

[Saber]

This people either don't have taste or accept whatever the crap they throw.

Dumbest gloating ever. Of course it launched 2 weeks earlier on GP then on PS+. Believe it or not there is an overlap of subscription service users. The initial spike for engagement died and went back to normal with the "second release" having a lower spike. Whoopdy doo. Engagement would have been if they retained them more than a week.

 

[LordCBH]

On the one hand, I don’t totally hate it. But on the other it’s also an objectively bad game. I boot it up when there’s nothing else I wanna play.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Incredible data, very very valuable.

The same terrible game had very different levels of engagements with different players. Holy shit.

 

[Synless]

Well, when Xbox players are starved for games that will happen ;-)

 

[rabbity-thing]

I don't hate the game. It is quite possibly the most mediocre thing ever. It just doesn't excel at anything. It's fine for a bit, but there are much better things to do with one's time. Honestly, even a game that's less playable could be more engaging if only because said game would be less middle-of-the-road and likely took more chances.

 

[SJRB]

Congrats? I guess?

Weird flex but okay.

 

[King Dazzar]

So, let me get this straight, Xbox fans are celebrating that a 64 meta game is getting massive engagement on GP? Surely that's something to be concerned about rather than celebrate. Each to their own I guess. Maybe it speaks to the same people who liked Redfall. Very strange times.

 

[GHG]

This doesn't reflect well at all.

 

[Gambit2483]

More Engagement!

 

[Kilau]

No, it was only on the Extra and Premium tiers.

Ok I see that now, I honestly don't even bother with those games for some reason.

Lol you Xbots sure choose the stupidest hills to die on…Are we supposed to be impressed by this ‘revelation’? 6% of players played a shit game for a indeterminate amount of time…BIG FUCKING WHOOP, OP get your tongue out of Fills ass its clearly affecting your brain…

Gamepass Players 404: Standards Not Found!

 

[Krappadizzle]

I mean. It's a cool enough game. It's definitely a fun co-op game. But it's not a great entry in the series/universe and I hope the publisher and devs learned some valuable lessons. But I doubt it. Being "engaging" on gamepass isn't the badge of honor I think they are trying to paint it as. It's like saying a show on Netflix has "access" and "engagement" to 100's of millions of users.

The engagement isn't even that great. It's some weird flex about a spike for a week being higher.

 

[K' Dash]

The only thing this information proves is that Xbox gamers subbed to GP have terrible taste.

 

[SmurfMustard]

I'm sure the engagement metric of PlayStation warriors in Xbox centric threads is through the roof.

Or they just having nothing new to play

This game is a great TMNT game:

Red Hood = Raph
Nightwing = Leo
Robin = Mikey
Batgirl = Donnie

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Why is this news or thread worthy? Why are so many threads here about Xbox studios and Gamepass player counts? Surely we can make one big “console war” thread for everything and consolidate all of this poorly disguised, low effort bait?

 

[a multicultural team of v]

good news everyone! we are out of money and cant afford to pay everyone's salary, but instead of cash for your paycheck next week we are going to give everyone engagement! that way nobody needs to get laid off! since money and engagement are the exact same thing and have the exact same worth, nobody should complain!

 

[baphomet]

Having a higher number of people wanting to play shitty games isn't a number to gloat about.

 

[King Dazzar]

Joking aside. There's lots of games I still love on my XSX albeit mostly older games. But its just a head scratcher for me, that this would be something more "dedicated" fans would cheer about.

 

[Rockondevil]

It's not the best game, average at best, but a LOT of people in here are claiming it's absolute shit and I bet most haven't even played it.

Having a jump in players makes sense for any game as it's released on Game Pass and I try them all and I bet others do too.

 

[TGO]

WB Montreal's Batman title sold particularly well on PS5, with 78% of total sales coming from the platform. The remaining 22% came from Xbox Series X

 

[Fake]

Can't wait for player engagement being a currency.

 

[saintjules]

I played it because it was on game pass. I deleted it after a few hours.

That's the thing. Sure the engagement went up, but how long would it hold up? It's like all these record breaking sales for games. Great, 5 million copies sold in x amount of days. How many people actually enjoyed what they played though?

Some of us know a turkey when we see one and don't have to go plucking its feathers to be sure.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

“Engagement“

Imagine it being 1997 and Sony or Sega are trying to brag about “engagement”. It would be embarrassing.

It still is.

 

[StueyDuck]

Lol why would anyone except warriors care about this.

Pretty sure WB only care how much Sony and Xbox paid them for the rights to be on the sub. Literally 1 person could "engage" with it for all they care

 

[UltimaKilo]

I mean...Spider-Man 2 just released on PS5. Even with some of the problems I had with that story, it's by far the better superhero game and PS gamers will be enjoying that.

What else is there to play on Xbox?

Ah, came to console war, I see.

Hope the mods start throwing down the hammer.

 

[ReBurn]

I mean, it wasn't the worst game I've ever played. It was just OK. It felt slow and disjointed.

 

[Paulistano]

People pay GP to play Gotham Knights?

The fact that anyone on any platform wasted time on this game instead of playing any of the hundreds of other games at their fingertips is certainly indicative of something alright.

Pretty much. I have access it to on PS+ but I'm not wasting my time with it.

 

[marjo]

Well, in the last couple of months, on Game Pass alone there's been:

Starfield
Lies of P
Cocoon
Warhammer 40k: Darktide
Forza Motorsport
Like a dragon: Ishin
Dead Space remake
Jusant
Wartales
Thirsty Suitors
Like a dragon Gaiden

and many more. Not to mention all the non Game Pass stuff (AC:Mirage, Alan Wake 2, etc.) But why let facts get in the way of an ignorant fanboy drive by.

[mejin]

Perfect for gamepass

 

[Northeastmonk]

I don’t like the plot, but also what kinda point is there to make? Arkham Knight was the last toast to Batman that people really cared about.

No one is accusing GK of being a good game, the thing to derive is that the same game released in similar windows gets more people playing it on GP, at first at least, before it stabilizes on both.

I wish Mat releases data like this for Sea of Stars as well, that game launched on both sub services day 1.

 

[ungalo]

I'm ashamed that i've been part of this.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Do I have to say more?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

So many engagement, very much oxygen, Too much sales, very muck viral marketing, many growth.

 

[Bojanglez]

I imagine PS5 owners have been better served in the super hero department within this timeframe so may have been busy.
