The Nintendo Switch Online service launched two days ago, but you don’t have to look at Nintendo’s official Twitter account to see how ill received the service has been. No, the mixed to negative reception really started picking up steam with the September 13th Nintendo Direct.
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.
Bro literally has saved you from having to type the letter "g", clicking once on "ghosts of tsushima" to see how reviews sit, then having to click a SECOND TIME on "Community Hub" button ALL THE WAY at the top right (shout out to the necks of the 45" and up ultrawide crew) and looking and current player count... and your response is to complain about that?
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
Im not sure how its confusing :\
72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.
A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.
But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.
for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.
Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI
Sony has also launched the PSN Store "Weekend Offer" this May 17, and this one includes a lot of AAA titles, and 2K-published games.
Some good games but they are all old and should be a lot cheaper than what they are on that sale. Hard pass.
The Epic Games Store has a GOTY Edition, AAA title they want you to add to your library.
I was actually pleased when I looked at some of the games in the NES library. Double Dragon, Gradius, Ghost n' Goblins, River City Ransom, Ice Climbers... not to mention Ice Hockey (one of my favs as a kid). Many good memories from those games. Sure it's not 1000 to start, and there are no other systems yet, but give it time.
It got delayed and it’s still underwhelming
I'm not really upset about it, because I never consider Nintendo for online gaming.
Sucks you need it to play online I guess, but I'll live if I don't subscribe to it.
I consider it a subpar service not worth subscribing to, so I simply don't subscribe to it.
At least this gaming site has the balls to critique Nintendo.
That is kick ass not kiss ass.
Keep on Chooglin'
I had very low expectations and the service turned out to be even worse than that. $20/year to play a tiny selection of games I can play on my RetroPie, and cloud saves which get instantly deleted the moment you stop paying. Ridiculous and embarrassing.
