It might get close to 150k this weeked (or not). It’s looking like within the next week or two that its daily peak will be at 100k or just below it. I think it’ll stay in that area pretty healthily tho. However I’m unaware of the Warbond release schedule or the kinda of bumps they have (if...

Up next are headlines over “Helldivers loses 80% of player base since launch” as it stabilizes with its hardcore playerbase with launch hype ending.

The true measure of success for an online game is the amount of hate it gets from warriors who hate online games to begin with.

What online games don’t require your email or an account? Serious question. I can’t think of any. It’s been streamlined to be just a click of a button and carrying over your username on consoles but it’s everywhere, from ea to square. Even on consoles where you have a xbl or psn account…...

Well they want to integrate PlayStation features such as trophies and social features across both pc and console. It should streamline comms for instance without everyone having to use discord. However, I thought that was also the point of discord integration currently. And no, this is...

Never saw it. Can’t say I see the appeal of console centric shows … console warrior junk.

Less to do with PlayStation. More about media expansion. Sky is not falling lmao

Destiny’s recovery already happening. It’s a predictable cycle at this point with them. A lot of work was put into turning it around two months before expansion and anecdotal tracking of digital storefronts for current best sellers and for pre- orders shows consumers are there too. stage...

Quietly shitcanning VR. Easily Sony’s biggest blunder of the gen.

Eh… compared to other action games at the time the length and scope were par for the course. Halo 5 was a worse offender and recycled the same trash boss fight 5x over and was 4 hours long. Order had strong enough gunplay that a PvP mode would’ve given it some longevity. But cover shooters...

This next month will be interesting to helldivers. Launch hype seems at its tail end. It may fall below the 100k max daily concurrent within the next week.

I loved my time with it. Decent cast and the setting was fun. The gunplay was on point and snappy even tho still a cover shooter.

What square does moving forward will be interesting. Consumers are telling them that they prefer 14 and 16 over 7. It’s how they react that matters now. Switch 2 will also be a huge, huge opportunity for them.

I wouldn’t be shocked to hear that Shogun actually helped sales of Ronin (and lttp Tsushima players).

FC is somewhat surprising to see.
