LOL you were trying to defend the game by saying second week Steam reviews were trending at a higher percentage than initial week. This loser does micro-trending statistics when it benefits him, and dismissing clear and obvious downslopes when it doesn't. Yeah, they stopped buying it because of....the bad press. And this guy used to measure game success by YouTube views. He really is somebody who just pulls shit out of his ass, to find anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, it's still a valid sign that the game isn't even attracting people to play it. You think MORE THAN 50% rushed in to play the F2P multi-player? You're implying millions of people were playing Halo Infinite online multi-player? I'm fairly sure we've had threads discussing that very subject And they don't support your theory. 50% of what? Halo MP didn’t require gamepass and was on Xbox one, which was what.. an additional 60 million users? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given it's by far the biggest Xbox release in ages outside of Halo, given the sales of past Bethesda rpgs and this being on GP I expected it to be way higher when accounting for PC also. I would've expected 10m in sales if it was being sold tbh, so 10m 'players' after a couple weeks isn't really that impressive tbh. Forza will prob pull those numbers easily in the same time.

It’s the second biggest GP launch outside of FH5, which was also on Xbox One. I don’t think FM8 will reach it as quickly given it’s not on Xbox one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They want GP subscribers, which will take a few months of subscribing to to recoup. But it will be advertised as a game to play on GP for the next 5 years probably. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not doing as well as I expected either. The Steam concurrent players was WAY less than what I expected it to be. Only around 280K and I was expecting 750K - 1M concurrent. The scores, and negative press as well as the game lacking DLSS support really hurt it. However, this game will continue to sell well over time as things get added I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I agree, no calling it a commercial flop or anything close at all. Just expected more. But no doubt this will have legs like all other major Bethesda rpgs 1 hour ago, Tears of the Cows said: It’s the second biggest GP launch outside of FH5, which was also on Xbox One. I don’t think FM8 will reach it as quickly given it’s not on Xbox one. Honestly expected this to blow everything else away. First major Bethesda SP RPG since FO4, years and years in dev, new IP, console exclusive, had a hype and marketing build up unlike most recent games. It was THE big MS drop for the forseeable future. Expected big big numbers. 10m players is fine but hardly impressive, especially considering the metric they are using (players) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
