This game is a huge flop on PC

[Juub]

Peaked at 9.7K. Persona 5 which is also available on Game Pass for comparison peaked at 21K.

For comparison's sake, here is how it stacks up to other Playstation titles:

Horizon Zero Dawn: 49,582

Days Gone: 27,380

God of War: 73,529

Spider-Man: 66,093

All Playstation releases have been fairly successful on PC so far but this one is bombing hard. There could be several factors. One often cited is that it's the 4th game in the series and that players simply aren't interested in jumping at the end.

The numbers will improve over the week-end but I'd be surprised to see it reach 20,000. I think the PC crowd just isn't interested in games like these. While the other Sony games are story-driven cinematic affairs, they're open-world or RPGs. Uncharted is way too heavily scripted and offers no freedom.

Those games are a hit with console gamers who love their Hollywood movie experiences, not so much with the PC crowd.

After reading through all of this, I can safely that OP is a massive "I am the main character" type of person, and likes to project their own terrible opinions and tastes on PC gaming onto the entire community like it's holy scripture. Uncharted LoTC sold poorly because they didn't port the Nathan Drake Collection first, and possibly never will either based on what naughty dog said in an interview. Your opinions and preferences do not represent the entire PC market. There are people here who do enjoy cinematic story driven games, plenty of them. You seem pretty arrogant and narcissistic to just assume everyone on PC doesn't like cinematic games, that is laughable.

The PC market has spoken. They want nothing to do with garbage movie-games.

You must feel p[retty stupid right now saince it peaked at almost 300K players on Steam, clearly a sign of a game making no sales LOL. [/quote]

Now look at all the other CODs before that struggled to break 50K concurrent players while selling 20-25M units on consoles. That's by far the most successful COD on PC after a decade and a half of subpar numbers, especially compared to consoles.

@LordOfTheBread He probably isn't old enough to remember that CoD started as a PC exclusive and has almost always done well on PC.

No, it hasn't. This is the first COD in a long time that did well and by a wide margin the most successful one. COD has moved to be a console shooter ages ago.

Yet they bought Spooderman in droves, the most mid of the Snoy games.

Spider-Man is an open-world game, not hold-handy trash. In the first 4 hours of Uncharted 4, there is roughly 58% gameplay lol.

I agree that the Arkham gaames are better but both are far better than Uncharted 4. The core gameplay of Uncharted 4 isn't bad but those guys at ND are more concerned with telling a story than making a good game.

The game starts: Boat sequence with some action. Boring climbing section with young Nate. Boring prison section. More climbing. Prison escape. Boring diving section. Boring climbing to get to the auction.

It's absolutely insane. Spider-Man at least is consistent with the action and spends far more time engaging the player.

My point isn't which mid game is better, it's that both are movie games, spooderman has garbage content outside of the main story and it's mostly cutscenes yet it still sold like crazy. So it's not that PC gamers don't want movie games, it's that like console players they can't get enough of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ capeshit movie games instead of Indiana Jones inspired movie games.

I'm sure porting three PS3 games is a LOT more technically challenging than porting any single PS4 game. Heck, maybe with an i9-13900k you can ALMOST emulate them at this point but uhh... that would be illegal so please Steam moderators don't delete this message, because I'm suggesting no such thing.

But yeah... porting PS3 games is not easy. Otherwise I'm sure Sony would have done it.

This is a PS4 so no, we can not simulate it.

i thought in a bad copy of the glorious tomb raider saga and i was terribly wrong: tryed and refund, this "game" it total garbage

Tomb Raider reboot was released in 2013, 6 years after Uncharted on the PS3, considering the Tomb Raider reboot is nothing like the original TR and very much like Uncharted, if anything is a copy it's Tomb Raider.

TR is from the 90s ... WTF are you talking about.

This is a TR Copy, it doesn't matter if the reboot takes inspiration from this series as the original design is TR.

Eh no, the line between indie and AAA is so thin nowadays that its just pointless. Other than the publishing name and budget, the level quality and talent are the same. The developers of Life is Strange isnt even indie either.

The point is PC players still do love these types of games. Always have. One of the earliest PC games were literally scripted point and click adventure stuff. The magnitude "cinematic scripted garbage" isn't a valid point because that's your own pet peeve. I'd say Star Wars Fallen Order was just as the same. I mean dude, if you dont like Uncharted, just say you don't like Uncharted. No need to nitpick and hogging it around like an idiot.

No, the line isn't freakin' thin. Games like Life is Strange or What Remains of Edith Finch don't sell 10M+ copies which is what Uncharted did on consoles. PC players "love" these games and they sell laughable numbers by AAA standards. Good enough for indie stuff.

PC players love stuff like CSGO, Monster Hunter, Elden Ring. Those are heavy-hitters that sell 8M+. Spare me with your indie games to prove your point.

There are indie games that seell 10M+ copies.

Terraria has sold more than 25M, that is more than GOW or Uncharted.

Minecraft was created as an Indie game ... 200M+ copies.

Those PS3 games were already ported to PS4 (x86 architecture) as The Nathan Drake Collection which could have easily been ported to PC. The issue is that according to Naughty Dog they don't think they have high enough visual fidelity to sell on PC. Which is ludicrous and completely out of touch with the PC gamers.

To be fair none of these games releaswed teh same month as:

- Plague Tale Requiem
- Persona 5 Royal
+ Call of Duty
- Bayonetta 3
- Gotham Knights

And a dozen other games that I probably forget about but yes, the fgact that this is Uncharted 4 and that the 3 other games in teh franchise are nowhere to be found is not helping.

Plague Tale isn't setting Steam on fire. Fairly mediocre numbers.

Persona 5 is as old as Uncharted 4.

COD doesn't sell on PC. It's a console shooter with ♥♥♥♥ numbers on PC.

Bayonetta isn't out and is a nice Switch title.

Gotham Knights is getting eviscerated by critics and gamers alike.

These aren't games competing in the same sphere except A Plague Tale to a certain extent and even that's a stretch. It's doing much worse number than Days Gone which was considered a disappointment on Playstation whereas Uncharted was one of their best-selling games.

Plague Tale Requiem is on Game Pass. I played through the entire game for $1.00.

Hundreds of people aren't playing this because of the stupid mouse acceleration issue still not fixed. These devs are incompetent af!
