It was probably worse. Couldn't even play at all at the starting area without dropping crazy frames. What you mean?

Dragon's Dogma II - Capcom's Highest Concurrent User-Peak SP Game (Currently 173k) Beating out RE4make
- Thread starter adamsapple
- Start date
It's pretty telling seeing the exact same people who were relentlessly moaning about the live-service trappings in SS (which, at release, were a cash shop for cosmetics which literally have no impact on gameplay) and how folks who were enjoying the game were part of the problem, now telling folks to just "relax and ignore. . ." MTX in a similarly priced game that is either P2W or P2NG (all while having terrible technical issues across all platforms).
In ER, I could at least get a stable frame-rate and not have the game randomly crash (or initiate a crash report everytime I exited the program). The constant stuttering though is what pushed me to give up and get the game on console. Here I've just settled for 3K at a locked 40FPS (with all the bells and whistles turned on).
. . .as to which was worse, I'd definitely have to give it to DD2 at the moment.

I wasn't talking about any particular game. I'm talking about Microsoft's whole philosophy about Xbox and the video game market going forward in general. Gamepass was supposed to be the "next big thing" since traditional gaming is dying in their eyes.
Phil was trying to create a new relationship that gamers had with their gaming habits. It hasn't worked. The first quarter of 2024 has shown us that traditional gaming is still the "IN THING".

The takeaway should be that people can tolerate a fun game with some performance issues........but will NOT tolerate a badly designed game that has a few hiccups.

It just reached a new all time peak (for the game). It should beat Monster Hunter Rise CCU shortly.

It's doing well but I doubt it'll reach 300k, let alone 400k. The bad press the game has gotten over performance and mtx has to slow sales down somewhat

on the contrary; the game will climb more when people realize how incredible the gameplay is

I feel like RE7 was the start of Capcom's comeback, and they've been winning ever since.

And Steam user rating keeps rising. Up five points in the last couple of days.

All the initial reviews were people complaining about mtx, everyone else was to busy playing the game to review it.
I didn't even know there was mtx until I came up for air after 22 hours of play and saw all the complaining online.
It sucks that its in there at all, but its another one of those games that it seems to been added last minute and buying anything makes the game worse.

Yep, the windy area still gives me more issues than the city in DD2. He's probably talking console though lol

Exactly this.
Also there’s just more people on the planet then there was 20 years ago.

Sadly I will never be a fan of such vanilla fantasy backdrops. But I'm still enjoying it very much and more importantly, I'm very much rooting for its success - because this is the kind of open world the industry needs. Ignore combat, just the way the open world is designed is up there with Elden Ring and Zelda. No irritating handholding, pure freedom and the open world really feels like you're being out in the wild somewhere, instead of traveling a glorified hub world like in those Ubi/Square Enix/Sony games.

Instead of calling it "RE4make" let's call it "REm4ke"

Are you still saying all this now? :
"you know steam"
Yeah?
Yes of course it’s still a message sent to devs like the mind hive of gamers always do and they do it many times on Steam
Negative reviews
Highest peak of concurrent players last night.
They don’t stop playing.
A real negative review should have number of players fall off a cliff.
A benchmark from tech Jesus doesn’t change that simple fact.

Well, the main issues with DD2 is PC not console. So not sure why he would think that. I'm just doing a 1:1. Elden Ring was far worse on PC than DD2.

As long as i see it. Im inside city, its all quite alright for me. I think it might because im lo-tech gamer or something. But the game itself is not hiccup fest or skeleton stiff animation. Might be better than ff16 a bit. Havent see any trouble... Yet...
