Doesnt sound like anything new at all =/

Cross platform play?
We console owners will get owned by the PC players.

Consoles aren't as accurate and rely on auto-assist aim.

TheCampfireSong4655d ago

Half the people on that game use aimbots.

JayFx24655d ago

And half those people got banned lol

fr00ty-wizenhymer4655d ago

Half the people on what game?

BattleAxe4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

I tried getting into CSS last year, but they way I was getting killed just by seeing someone for a split second made me think that there were definitely aimbots in the game. Also, alot of people were complaining about aimbots in most games I was in. CSS isn't accessible to new players at all. Its unfortunate that you can't just join any server and have a good time, instead you have to get to know which servers are good ones and try to get to know the people in that server that always go there, and then usually they will police the server properly to ensure that cheaters get banned.

Outside of aimbots, the one thing I didn't like about CSS was that you had to buy your weapons at the beginning of every round, and from the looks of things they are keeping that stupid system for some reason.

The only game that uses Aim-assist is COD as far as I know.

GirlsGeneration4655d ago

lol Pretty much every first person shooter and and third person shooters uses aim assist on consoles, if they didn't have aim assist they would be hell of a lot harder than on consoles = )

Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

PrinceOfAnger18h ago

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

RNTody16h ago

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

rippermcrip16h ago

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.

Christopher13h ago

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.

I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5

GamerzElite16h ago

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

CrimsonWing6914h ago(Edited 14h ago)

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?

Fishy Fingers14h ago

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.

shinoff21835h ago

Lmao. How many swords swung. I was hoping for how many steps

Crows9014h ago

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

Michiel198913h ago

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.

Plague-Doctor2711h ago(Edited 11h ago)

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

elazz1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.

According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman1d 13h ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath21d 13h ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
