God of War Ragnarok with Neutral reviews on Steam because the game can't run on PCs with less than 6 GB of VRAM (Update: Also because of forced PSN)
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
It's like bragging about Lexus LFA and driving a Prius.
Singleplayer AAA games is a redline that shouldn't have been crossed by Sony. No one gives a fuck about Destiny, Helldivers 2 and similar MP games. Just keep your top end games to yourself as the few millions you make aren't worth it and would just cannibalize your platform.
For the record, the Windows monopoly is hurting all of us in more ways than you can imagine.
Here you have their first party revenue outside PS, listed every quarter in their "Supplemental Information" as "other software".
- 105,358M yen ($732M) for the previous FY, FY23 (+55.57% increase compared to FY22)
- 33,103M yen ($230M) last quarter (more than doubling the same quarter of previous year thanks to Helldivers 2)
Before merging their PC revenue with rival consoles under "other software", they reported PC specific revenue (didn't expect the Helldivers 2 mega successful release at the end of FY23) but they expected a 133% CAGR, which already is a crazy growth:
Back then already were top 20 publisher for the FY. Now are (at least in reviews/owners) in the top 10 for Steam history with under two dozen games, not just the FY. From a few days ago:
Sure, Jan.
We don't know its position in the US PSN because we only have access to the "PlayStation store top downloads of the months".Oh I forgot to add where is Destiny 2 on the charts - no 42 on US PSN
In Steam -worldwide-, it has great data, its CCU "all-time peak" (316.75K) is top 35 in Steam history. As of now (low activity hours for EU and NA) it's the top 60 in "most played games (right now)" on Steam and top 88 in "best selling games (right now)" and has a 28.5K CCU peach. That's all we know. And well, that the recent Destiny 2 The Final Shape was a great success.
Misleading BS thread, my guy. The negative reviews are 99% related to forcing a PSN account on people.
That just shows rockstar is aware of double dippers. If you could get the best version of the game right away you lose lots of double dipping revenue.
Almost half of GTA V owners have the game on multiple platforms. One of the few games on the planet that can make that possible.

Reddit weirdos aside, I've checked the game's Steam page.
The vast majority of the negative reviews are about the PSN account requirement.

As we're all aware, there will always be some dipshits who'll find something to complain about regardless of how good something is.
Personally, I just ignore the bellyaching and low-IQ criticisms from the terminally online.
I don't think folks with low end rigs would leave much steam reviews as you need to purchase the game to do that.
If I were in their shoes I would upgrade my pc first and foremost instead of trying to have a bad experience playing a AAA title. Something like an RX 5500 8 GB or GTX 1660 should do.

Could have made 5 psn accounts in the time it took to write that so called poetry, Good thing is Sony will never back down on something that makes the MAU metrics go up. Either the pc users will have to suck it up or the ports stop, A win for the console players regardless
Explain how Sony's mau numbers going up is a win for console players
"THE PORTS STOP!!!!1!!!11!"
Dawg, how exactly do ports or even day-and-date cross-platform game launches impact your life as a console player?
Let people enjoy games. Stop being weird.
I just checked.
The 4GB complains are basically nothing on Steam.
They are trying (again) to review cancel the game due PSN requiriment.
But this time? Well there is no back... Sony already put in all pages and it is turned on since launch.
Helldivers 2 was an exception because the Deveveloper choose to turn it off on day one to try to find a server issue and after that they couldn't back it on again... plus there are the issues with Steam's countries which now fixed between Steam and Sony (Sony's ames only shows in countries with PSN support).
