If you want a game that is a time sink like this one a subs service is the last thing you should be looking for.Yeah tht gamepass excuse in itself is flawed. Ppl tht want a game like this will only sub for a month then subs will tank so tht arguments is still fallacious. Microsoft will still not see the growth they are looking for. Now in five months or so we see Microsoft say ganepas grew exponentially blah blah we will know it had an impact. I bought gamepass one month in my life lol to to play the new Gears, years later never subbed again
Nope, they were expecting meta score of 98 and 12 million concurrent players on Steam alone + 5 million new GamePass subs within the month of release... and the instant sale of all xbox series console stocks, which is a lof of consoles to sell!I wonder if starfield under performing entered MSs wildest imagination?
Outside of specific cope forums (r/Starfield, Era, etc) I'm not seeing a lot of positive WOM. All my friends interested in the game have expressed scepticism and outright mockery of the lies, I've certainly told everyone what a joke the game is. With big names like Asmongold, Penguinz0, Dunkey, etc, laughing at it I don't think it's going to get anywhere near the positive WOM BG3 did, which was universally positive and a must play. Most fans defense of the game boils down to "It's a Bethesda game!" now, a far cry from "This is the best RPG of all time" which BG3 received.244K on Steam right now; I don't think the number's going to dramatically rise over the weekend. Maybe a 50% bump to be safe, or something around 370K peak over the weekend, is what I would estimate.
However, it could see a ~ 1.85x multiplier, similar to Baldur's Gate 3, but only if WOM is significantly stronger between now and the weekend, which I doubt. If so, though, it could probably hit a peak concurrent of ~ 498K on Steam.
WOM for this game simply isn't on the level of Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3, though. And I don't think it'll ever reach those highs until significant new content comes to the game maybe a year or two from now by modders on PC. But that would be outside of any of Bethesda's own input or contributions, so it shouldn't be recognized as their accomplishment.
you guys are freaking out about nothing. People are waiting for the weekend. those numbers are going to launch to the stratosphere once Friday night hits
The meteor in GVH is what turned Earth into a desolate wasteland in StarfieldHoly fuck, Goodbye, Volcano High is ACTUALLY going to outsell Starfail on consoles, isn’t it?
Stop listening to that dude FRPhil just said they had 1m CCUs across all platform, which directly contradicts what Peter Ovo is trying to shill lol.
Look at the math. Peter saying 20m players, Phil saying 1m CCUs, so CCUs 1/20th of players. But Peter shares BG3 numbers, which estimate 6m players with a peak of almost 1m CCUs. So how does that work? 3x as many people played Starfield as BG3, but BG3 had the same CCUs? Are people buying the game and not playing it lol? Explain that disparity.
I do not believe him. It's just interesting that the numbers the two shills are using are so contradictory, and the lie so flagrant, you have to wonder how stupid you have to be to believe it.Stop listening to that dude FR
no one actually cares about pronounsI don’t see it discussed here much but I do wonder if the whole forced pronouns thing is a much larger deterrent for people to care about Starfield more than the jank gameplay vids. I’ve seen a lot of commentary about it, none of it positive. I do wonder with all the Jank gameplay videos, non shills able to review the game now, and the forced pronouns stuff, starfield just finds itself too Medicore from a gameplay perspective to inspire much excitement and people that might be curious heard about the pronoun stuff and just say no thanks.
I don’t think I articulated that as well as I could have but hopefully you get my gist.
The doctor disrespect and the bald guy having a meltdown have at least a 40 million view count on Twitter. That’s probably the most viral thing starfield had going for it.
He is an xbox fanI do not believe him. It's just interesting that the numbers the two shills are using are so contradictory, and the lie so flagrant, you have to wonder how stupid you have to be to believe it.
Xbox fan is an oxymoron. Nobody can genuinely like Xbox, they're simply cowed into compliance.He is an xbox fan
^^ that stupid
There's forced pronouns in it ?I don’t see it discussed here much but I do wonder if the whole forced pronouns thing is a much larger deterrent for people to care about Starfield more than the jank gameplay vids.
