God of War PC is already topping charts on Steam

If someone wasn't willing to spend $300 on a PS4 to play an entire library worth of exclusives, then I don't see why they would spend $500 to play a single game. I mean people like that probably exist, but I doubt they're a significant source of revenue for Sony. They probably make more from console owners double-dipping than they do from those people.

In my case i double dip to encourage all games to come on the platform down the road and because it was impossible to know then.
But for next horizon and god of war or any other license that has found its way to pc the objective is to wait.
It's a non issue when number of games I'm interested in far outweighs my time to play
And if i fall to hype and fomo sometime will too....
I'm in a situation where i can choose, i like that and will abuse it.

Reason why this view exists is because people think consoles are such exclusive powered machines, yet the actual console base of users hasnt really budged in 20 years. If it was so big, console sales would be much bigger especially since gaming is a lot bigger now than decades ago. But it seems the big chunk of growth in gaming is from PC and mobile.

The biggest console base was during the 360/PS3/Wii era, and that even excludes the tons of DS and PSP sales. Then it dropped during the One/PS4/Wii U era. NOw it's picking up again with X/PS5 and Switch killing two birds with one stone console/handheld.

Even the DC/PS2/XBox/GC had over 200M consoles sold.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
And today it's 18 on the global list.

I think it'll do well, but the Steam charts have to be watched for days/weeks to see a true "big seller" as they constantly update, kinda like the Amazon charts. When a biggish game goes up for pre-order it generally will be at or near the top that day.

Will know a lot more after release since Steam isn't difficult to track.

I dont know, why would PC gamers who would prefer to play a game at 120fps/4K go to a console(s) that achieves 60fps and dynamic res?
I've never seen such cope.

>God of War shows up on Steam
>This is an absolutely brilliant strategy because it will force people to buy consoles or subsidize sales

I would wait for actual sales numbers before making any assumptions of sales numbers.

19.5m copies on PS4 is insane btw

you deserved the ban, losin' his mind in here.
 
PC gamers hungry for tasty Playstation games



Kidding of course. I don't know why some cares about a game hitting Steam. It's not like this is a new release. God Of War sold like crazy on PS4. Sony is giving others an opportunity to experience It.

Fanbois need to realize that big companies occasionally do back alley talk and sometimes they even 69 each other if that helps them achieve their goal. So while some ppl do fanfares for company X and frown upon company Y, in reality they go hand in hand and shit on the top of the fanbois head.

Solution: check the output, if that's yummy throughout the years, you are allowed to nuthug them.

Never applied to me. As far as im concerned all PS4 games will eventually come to PC. Including Spiderman 2018 and Ghost of Tsushima eventually.
Im guessing PS5 games will come to PC 3 or 4 years after release also.

But I was told that pc community didn't care about console games. :messenger_grinning: Inconsistencies aside, Im happy for pc players. GoW is awesome.

I mean, not enough to go and buy a console for a few interesting exclusives and then experience it at 30fps, barely holding 4K, no anisotropic filtering, etc. If it’s available on PC and they did a good enough port, I’m not sure if it’s expected that we won’t buy it? It’s a PC game at this point, there’s no console experience involved. 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't this support that idea? If PC gamers cared about console games, they would have already bought it on PS4/5, and it wouldn't be selling much on PC. PC gamers likely care about games on their platform, and they aren't going to change their preferences and habits to experience a couple games. Makes sense to me.
 
Most of them don't even realize that sticky is talking about them. This is why the mod remarks often point out the need for introspection.

I noticed that some view their warring as just having their opinion. They really don't recognize what they are doing which is why some of them keep getting banned.

just did a search .... hmmm, don't see it, was a one day boost?

They had to stop pre ordering gow to pickup cyberpunk obviously....... CP2077 outselling res evil village on the same discount. They delay next gen update and get a sales boost, hows that for a power play.

I've got so many questions but alcohol will be a sure fire answer to them all, cheers.
 
Do majority of pc players use controllers? Imagine playing this with kb/mouse, 🤪
The majority of PC gamers definitely aren't using controllers, but the majority of PC gamers also won't be playing this game. However, the subset of PC gamers that would consider buying this game is probably fairly likely to have a controller of some sort.
