GoW and Persona in one day. Damn lol

Hopefully Bloodborne is next. Its a top 10 game for me and pc players need to see how kino it is. Its like playing Symphony of the Night for the first time.

I'm amazed that is, apparently, selling well as it's in such an obvious poor state.

Suckas the lot of 'em!
It sells and User Score is trending upwards after its rocky launch. Maybe the ironed out the bugs and fixes login issues.

To pre-order on Steam are these users paying the full amount of $50 already? That’s pretty impressive if the game is not releasing until January.
Yes they do. Ranking is based on how much money the object* is currently earning (not amount of copies or something else) and it's updated every hour afaik.
But there's nothing strange about it, very normal for a well advertised high budget or well known title.

*"object" as hardware, DLC or Season passes can get on the list.

This is god of war ps4 right?
Yes.


I wonder what changes they'll make for the PC version! The game is absolutely gorgeous as is so maybe just some nice technical improvements like uncapped fps and different aliasing options? I wonder if ray tracing is something they'd consider implementing.

Is this updated daily? It makes sense to sell more than games that have been available for weeks or months.

Insane how well New World is doing.

Edit: Just saw above it's hourly. Nice.

Seems a perfect strategy, they get lot of money on a game that at this point has exhausted its sales potential on Playstation (it's free with the PS+ collection) and at the same time they bait a bunch of these people to play the sequel on PS5 next year instead of waiting indefinetly.

I'll be waiting.

Just goes to show people are willing to wait to play on PC, or simply put it in the rear view mirror if it doesn't.

I'll def pick it up when it's around $30 on CDKeys đź‘Ť

I know, right? I love never having to buy a console ever again.

I'll wait forever for a sequel to release on PC, and I don't care if it never releases on it, either.

Some are going to wait years others won't.
Worst case they'll get tons of money for a 2018 game. Best case they'll lock new people into the PS5 ecosystem.
It reminds me when I played FF7 and FF8 for the first time on PC back in 90s. Since I wanted to play FF9 and FFX and there was zero certainty of those games coming on PC I ended up buying a PS2.

I wonder how many of those are people double dipping.
Finger is on the button. I'm kinda hesitant because I did beat God of War when it first came out. I double dipped on HZD because I didn't finish it on PS4.

I'll probably get Uncharted 4 on PC for the same reasons.
 
Why the hell that game is played so much? What new and exciting features does New World introduce to the MMORPG scene?
None. Its just people wanting another experience of "first time playing and experiencing world of warcraft." All my friends bought it, told me how amazing it was and now quit cause end game content sucks. People have no patience and just want instant gratification. So glad I am not dumb and do not follow the silly sheep. I warned my friends too but the impulses were too strong. oh well.

Almost EVERY non steam exclusive goes to the top of the Steam "best Selling" day of announcement. This is nothing new.

Sony has to slow down with these PC ports. Imagine if TLOU II went to PC...The playstation brand is tarnished.. Microsoft is the king of multiple platforms, Gamepass etc. They are worried about little profits and risking the whole PS brand IMO...

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
as a PS Owner i dont really care, tbh, majority of PC games coming to consoles as well, its not an issue for me.

From the steam page.

"Our PC version includes a wide range of graphical presets and options so you can fine-tune your visual experience based on your setup. From higher resolution shadows and improved screen space reflections to enhancements to the ambient occlusion pipeline with GTAO and SSDO – God of War on the PC can create striking visual quality unique to the platform."

"We’re also happy to announce that we will have full integration with NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) available on RTX™! You won’t have to sacrifice high graphical settings and output resolutions for high performance in God of War.
In addition to DLSS we will also NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology available. Reflex delivers a more responsive experience allowing you to react quicker and hit harder combos."

"Alongside the graphic and performance improvements, we are also offering 21:9 ultra-widescreen support!"

Just keep buying. Subsidizing is part of the equation. Jimbo is getting $50 from you on a 4 year old game to make more blockbusters while you wait for the sequel

Is this supposed to be some hot take or something. That's probably literally what they are doing. Is it bad that more people enjoy the "old" game?
