Days gone flopped on pc?

[TofGaming]

Looks like this game didn't sold that well on pc, only 18k peak players on launch day. What do you guys think about it. Do you think future sony games will have impact because of low sales of this game.

I am happy paying the money for it, This game is amazing and underated because people ♥♥♥♥♥ about the most stupid things sometimes. If it never released on pc i never would have played such a gem. ♥♥♥♥ sony and ♥♥♥♥ console exsclusives. This game was a way better investment then resident evil village.

There are no much of AAA games this week. But in overall sales it's flopped.

Another worthless topic..

Outselling the ME remake and the new Resident Evil should mean the end of this thread. But most people will not admit they are ever wrong and just argue themselves further and further into a corner. I've been wrong tons of times and there is nothing wrong with admitting it. Being able to acknowledge being wrong shows a willingness to learn and improve.

Except it is not. And barely means anything. Halo outselled them all in sum.
Halo peaked 161K players at launch.
MSL peeaked 59K at launch.
DG peaked only 27K at launch.
REV peaked 107K at launch.

Halo was only properly priced outside USA.

How do you know it's outselling all the other games you mentioned?

Steam top sale charts work on the basis of revenue a game made in last 12 hrs it has nothing to do with overall sales.

People are angry this was a console exclusive (like myself) and won't be paying full price for such an old game.

Besides most unfixed bugs carried themselves to the PC version. Like the dialogs/radio bug.

They need to learn to release their games to all platforms at the same time. This cash grab thing Rockstar started is being done by almost everyone these days.

ive had 0 bugs and 0 problems. people b1tch to b1tch

Ok lets not pretend it was a flawless launch though and pepper a bit of Devil's Advocate here; prior to 1.02 a lot of us could barely play due to the low mouse sensitivity camera drag thing all the damn time and I got frustrated to the point of going back to playing some of my other backlog instead.
Thankfully these devs are pretty awesome though and fixed it super quick.

This is only my opinion, of course others might not agree with me.

That's because the game is average at best. The only non-forgettable thing about this game is hordes and graphics. Other than that close/ranged combat, exploration aspect of the game, story, characters, voice-acting are simply just terrible or below-average. The game is just forgettable and the only hype it got on PC is that it was PS exclusive. I bought it because I wanted to try out zombie game(because I absolutely love zombies and want Sony to bring more exclusives to PC) but after 8 hours of gameplay I decided to uninstall the game. It is just extremely clunky, the bike does not even feel like bike and is literally slower than my grandma, animations are great but get very boring and repetitive after a while, story is not engaging and I can't find any character I can relate to and the transition from gameplay to cutscenes and vice versa are the worst I have ever seen which really ruins the game for me.

The game is just average.

you have no idea what you are missing out on.. Also, as far as the bike is concerned, its "slow" because you literally "upgrade" it during the game, but the game is long and deep enough that you have plenty of time being able to drive it fully upgraded and kitted out.
Furthermore, its a "drifter" bike, which is something new made especially to survive in this world, its not supposed to be like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ harley dude lol.. Anyways, its all good, its your opinion but you are missing out on an epic story.
Also, im jusxt curious, whats your idea of a 3rd person open world game that is less "clunky" than Days Gone?

SONY pushing Playstation prices for old games they port on PC, they dont even use regional pricing!

Both Days Gone and Horizon cost in Russia (which is 2nd or 3rd biggest market on Steam) 3000 rubley, which is 40 bucks, but all the major AAA titles cost here only 2000 which is 26 bucks, you can buy new releases of games like RDR2 for this price, so 3000 is too much for not such a great game that does not look so interesting (i mean bikers vs zombies? who thought it was good idea?) and that also has not very best reviews.

So majority of Russians doesn't buy it, i suppose its similar in other countries.

Sony is so greedy and stupid now, they cant understand that if you want to sell game on PC you should reduce price, if you want to sell old game - you should reduce price, if you want to sell not very well recieved and not overhyped game - you should reduce price, if you want to sell it in every region - you should set reduced regional price!

Nope, instead they selling it with prices higher than majority of newest and much better AAA titles... and then they wonder why game does not sell well...

This game should have twice reduced price and then it will sell.

For example a much better but similar game - State of Decay 2 - cost in russia only 500 rubs and it outsells Days Gone which cost 6x tmes more! Guess why?

HAHAHAHAHAH RUSSIA IS THE SECOND OR THIRD BIGGEST MARKET ON STEAM???
YOU AINT EVEN TOP TEN!!!! HAAHAAHAAHAAHAHA https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-10-countries-by-game-revenues/

FACTS, BRUH.

Halo was only properly priced outside USA.

Peak players are not equal to sale numbers, they relate to each other in a way that peak numbers can't go higher than sales, and that's about it. DG was released on a tuesday evening, people work, people have stuff to do. By the weekend part of the player base already finished the game, part of the player base just started playing the game on the weekend. And comparing DG to games that's more than a decade old classic makes perfect sense, and vilage was marketed to hell and back, many people clearly haven't really heard about this game, or they didn't know it released on PC. Discussion board was having multiple people in threads saying, they just seen this game.

So yes, by those comparisons it's totally fair to compare them, right? No, nuance matters.
Death stranding was a great port and sold pretty well, yet the peak numbers are 32k, not far ahead of DG.

All of this is far from below average. You're simply stupid if you think that objectively.
The mocap in this game for the main characters is simply stellar and can't be done any better or in more detail. The voice acting for the main characters is fantastic and has way more lines than Last of Us.
Give it an actual try instead of repeating professional sexually frustrated nerds without turning your own brain on.

The story... well.. It is way more unique than Last of Us. It also has about 6x the content and plot overall without getting boring, too obvious or repetitive.
I'd say a little kid turning immune to save the world is so unique and new, right?

The game was on PS+ just a few months ago btw. So anyone owning a ps4 will likely not buy it on pc.
