Well... I knew that's gonna happen.

Less players than in Doom Eternal... (104,891 all time peak)
Right now The Dark Ages has 30,232 and that's not including numbers from game pass and stuff like that. Judging by the playercount it's not looking bad... but not good at the same time. And we are talking about Doom.
Sorry to say but forcing RT is not the best option in my opinion. That's just shows how expensive is hardware... Or how RT is meh in general.



P.S. Don't need any clown awards.

Um, it's midafternoon in Europe and early morning in the US. And you're comparing that with the peak for Eternal. Joke stuff.

[JiveTurkey]

Awesome! Another thread about playercounts and sales figures! Such a fresh topic. We're going to cover tons of ground in this one that hasn't been covered in the other fifty made in the past hour!

[Jim]

That's actually gone up a fair bit from this morning I think?

[Swaggaccino]

Should wait til the weekends to get a better estimate however I don't think it'll top Eternal numbers especially with gamepass and the previews being kinda boring.

[Darkeus]

It is 9:20 AM where I am. People work and are not necessarily gaming in the morning. Not every one is nose deep in games like us.

[Last Jackdaw]

Its on gamepass and console.
I have it on gamepass, but I am not playing right now because I am waiting for a train.

To go to my job.

[gocubbies83]

It mentioned Veilguard! It only needs to bring up Concord and I'll have a Bingo!

It really is because of the forced ray tracing and overall bad marketing. There are legitimately some people surprised that there is even a new Doom game, that should tell you something about how they marketed this.

All of that combined with the fact that every major release in the last year has been plagued with performance issues. I think it’s clear why most people aren’t going to bother. I really do believe that MH:Wilds was the final nail in the coffin when it came to that ♥♥♥♥. People aren’t gonna fall for it anymore.

None of this is cope either. The game is a commercial failure, I’m just telling you why I believe that’s the case.

Even if we gonna combine those who decided to spend money on the most expensive edition... It's still not enough players to call this a sucsess.

And we are talking about single player expirience that has no multiplayer... But it does have friking skins for some reason.

I also didn’t even mention the fact that people like critikal are making 10 minute long rant videos about how the game is unplayable to them because it keeps crashing.

The writing is on the wall clear as day.

Why ppl care so much about numbers these days, how many ppl play this or that?!?! Play the game and enjoy it, there are more important things in life than crying about numbers and creating hate bait post about it. You create these kind of post in any new game coming?

[Sourjack]

Way too expensive, denuvo and forced RTX for me.

Because believe it or not, I actually like this game. And watching it fail like this is demoralizing to say the least.
