[Men_in_Boxes]

VICTORY!!

 

[leo-j]

Really hoping for a repeak at 100k+ and that the games does better imo

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

VICTORY!!

 

[Mortisfacio]

28k. 30% off. Still a no for me, dawg

 

[mckmas8808]

Will it hit 50K today?!

 

[duhmetree]

doesn't f2p go active in an hour?

between that and people getting home after work, should be popping off at 7-9PM EST

I was expecting 100K weekends

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Will it hit 50K today?!

This is the second release, I bet Sony will advertise it in the state of play. Today should be the highest peak since the open beta.

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

>servers exploding with not even 30k players

lmfao

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Broke the servers on a Tuesday at 2:30pm?

This is truly the sleeping giant. It has awoken.

 

[Mortisfacio]

CCU is booming! By tonight it might have more players than The Sims 4.

 

[Guilty_AI]

is something wrong with the game? CCU keeps violently oscilating

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Hit 28k and down to 21k already

 

[Bernardougf]

Hit 28k and down to 21k already

The "nope out" is real

 

[Toytown Assassin]

The "nope out" is real

I think it just went free. Servers probably couldn't cope lol

 

[MayauMiao]

I was surprised at the sudden CCU number rising for Marathon.

Then I found the reason.

 

[Zacfoldor]

 

[Fbh]

It's only 9 spots away from generating more money than Russian Fishing 4 already!!!

 

[Conflict NZ]

Wow seems server problems have caused the CCU to start tanking. Wonder what it will recover to today.

 

[touchfuzzy]

How are they having server problems when there was barely anyone playing it to start with?

Servers are completely broken right now. I was able to play 2 matches but couldn't even get in a match and gave up (they give you more info on connections now so it found a server but couldn't place us in it).

I'm out for now until later. I've got probably close to 100 hours in the game and I'm ready for another 100.

 

[calico]

It seems to have found its correct price point.

Yeah, it looks like they expected far fewer players than some of us here did.

 

[BurningNad]

My guess was 30 to 40k. Barely even hitting the low end. Connection issues not helping. How could they not have been ready for more players?

I think it would've hit 30-40 without the freeloaders. It was trending that way.

 

[Ben87fr]

Just bought Doom : The Dark Ages since it's on sale on the xbox store, when's maraslop/maraflop free so i can play it again for 30 minutes and give it one star out of five ? Huh ?

Still expensive.

it already is

Hard to tell what US peak will be. Right now at 27k and it's not even 3 pm completed hour yet.

Past week, the US peak is about 30% higher than Euro peak.

If 4 pm Euro ends at 30k, US could be 40k. It depends how much of the rush now are gamers getting in early to test vs. an increase in CCU being normalized across time zones. If there's a skewed rush now it may be only 35k, but if it's like a normal day it might hit 40-45k.

Looking at Steamdb, never knew this too but it looks like they do the S2 icon based off 00:00 UTC time (8 pm est last night). They dont accurately make it 17:00 UTC (1 pm est). Maybe all content releases for games get a default 00:00 UTC (too lazy to check).

It was at 28k before it went free. It kinda looks like there are only around 30K slots on the servers as it's not going any higher despite the free unlock.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Marathon at 29K CCU, #168 Top Sellers. Destiny 2 at 25K, #52 Top Sellers.

 

[duhmetree]

NO BRAKES

50k after Sony State of Play

Anyone on PSN? Is Sony force feeding it by any chance?

We're coming for Counter-Strike!!!



counterstrike source.

 

[Timberwolf25]

It'll be crazy if this doesn't break the launch numbers of 88k CCU at free99.

That is the lowest bar of expectation for me because I expect quite a few people that paid full price to return as well as the morbidly curious, like people into BDSM, to give it a try.

As before, the real test in how much retention they have in a week or so.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Theres some weird things going on that doesnt look normal.

It passed 30k by a bit and then next refresh it dropped back to 28k+. Not normal to drop about 1,500 gamers in 5 min.

A lot of Destiny players aren't playing S2 for whatever their reasons...

Considering D2 was hovering around 7-10k early march, that's potentially -15k players. Could get even uglier next week with the final D2 update and no more f2p.

If there are only 30K slots then anything under should be accurate. Like it's 28K right now.

 

[Saber]

The game went free and people are actually hyping it?
Lol if anything, it shows this game true monetary value.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Bungie using bots to keep the line up!!

Something is definitely going on with it.

It's so weird. Either someone screwed up and there are only 30k slots on the server(which would be very dumb) or some hijinks are going on.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Not yet. I don't see anything about it on the main page, store page, or PSN page.

It got review bombed and review galzed at the same time.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Marathon at 29K CCU, #168 Top Sellers. Destiny 2 at 25K, #52 Top Sellers.

Despite being 30% off it appears currently only returning players and free players are showing up.

Well it just shot to top 10 after one update. What a bizarre day.

No one's hyping it. I'm being facetious

I do want the game to do well. I just don't see that until there's much more depth added. I do see massive potential though and expect it to be a much different game by season 5….. Sony willing

I don't see any potential, it's a pretty trash category of game extraction is so niche it is hardly even a blip on the radar unless they litrelly to a 180 and change the whole entire game and they aren't doing that imo

[BigBeauford]

I know this is what extraction shooters do (resets), but if the loop the last two months crashed and burned, why would it succeed again?
