>no denuvo>on game pass>result: can barely reach 10k playersPC gaming needs help. The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessary. I'm not joking. Just look at this shit
>no denuvo>on game pass>no woke>gameplay-focused rather than a movie game>great production valueit's like what /v/ things would be the perfect bestest game of all time, except in reality no one cares about it
Just get a load of this
Go ahead, ship your $70+DLC game with malware, see what good that did the others.
>>723876645as opposed of console gaming, where we can't even see how many people are playing.
>VIDEO GAMES ARE NOW GOING TO BE 70 DOLLARS!>PLEASE PAY THE 70 DOLLARS!>PLEASE!
>>723876645Maybe it's because companies decided "we'll ship the game broken and fix it later" became "we'll ship the game and fix the game never" and then they're asking us for more money and they don't have good sales anymore. Nintendo is the only company I can think of that actually has polished games and you don't encounter bugs of any kind. Star Wars Outlaws still has a bug where you can't find a weapon part because you can't jump up to a thing
>>723876645I haven't played the other three
>Shatinum Gayms gets involved>result: can barely reach 10k playersftfy
>>723877975No but really this game reuses so many assets of MGR. I didn't play the other Ninja Gaiden games but did it always have this aesthetic of cyber ninja that talks on the walkietalkie just like Raiden?
>>723876645>>723876769>$70 for indie Sekirofuck off retard. PC gaming isn't like tendiefaggotery. You can't just cheap out and put $70 price tag.
>>723876769a perfect bestest game for nu/v/ would be a 1 button gacha
>>723876645There is little reason to rent games on steam for 70 dollars when you can rent it on goypass for 15 bux and be done with the game before time is up
>>723876645>The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessary. I am not buying a game with Denuvo, it is that simple.
>>7238766450 marketing.I have never seen any gameplay videos for thisI didn't even know it was releaseAnd I'm the target demographic
>>723879131>game is niche>marketing happen also in niche waysounds about right
>>723876645what good are sequels if it can't surpass the first game?
>>723876645Acting like ninja gaiden of all things is a pc game for pc gamers is nonsense. It's the epitome of consoleshit.Why would you ever expect this to sell on pc?
>>723876645PCniggers steal anything not bolted to the ground
>>723876645No denuvo is the bare minimum, not an achievement. We should not take publishers opting out from paying million to push spyware on their users as a plus.I didn't buy the game because you barely play as a main character of the series while they pushed a new donut steel to my face.
>>723876645Meanwhile sekino still have 10k+ player every day and peak at 125k Make good game, earn more money Its that simple
>>723876645>shit game from a shit franchise nobody but a few loudmouths care about
>>723879225Then don't complain when it has shitty sales numbers you inbred mongoloid
Their problem was marketing. I didn't even know they were making NG4 until I saw the release day threads.
>>723879343And I'll do it again
>>723876645We're in a recession, you're fucking stupid if you're buying games at those prices
>>723876645>release some mediocre shit based on a franchise that's been dead for years and hasn't even been popular in the first place>don't get cawadooty numbersIT'S OVER PC GAMING IS FUCKED
>>723876645>psn has just as many reviews as steamIts official steam users are the poorest/scummiest playerbase there is.Seeing shit like this >>723879343 having 20k completed torrents from one tracker means ninja Gaiden 4 pirated amount probably eclipses it's steam concurrent. There's a reason why game companies are still using denuvo.
>>723876645>The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessaryyeah, man. no game without denuvo does well. Nobody wants to play this shit, no matter what
>>723879401Both games are good. If you enjoyed sekiro you will enjoy ninja gaiden 4.
Why do people keep talking about marketing? Nobody wants to play this type of game any more but people who grew up with it. Those epople knew this was coming out. Do you think some fortnite kid is going to drop that to play this if you spam ads? or that an elden ring guy is gonna pick this up? they won't. this genre died out and was replaced by soulsgames. it's like hack and slash replaced beat-em-ups. the market has spoken.
>>723879560I doubt most of those people can even run the game or will actually play it.
>>723879649That's how you get casuals to try your game, yes. Nothing has ever gotten popular because it was good.
>>723879564Literal cult classics. An exception to the rule. Explain this then >>723879343Go on that trannies website you'll find thousands of examples of people pirating more than player count.Hell even popular games like silent hill f, between all trackers and ways to download at least 20% verified pirated downloads to steam user count.
>>723879576I loved sekiro but hated ng4
>>723879783Literally two different genres retard zoomie
>>723879576>SAAR PLEASE REDEEM NGay4not buying it sanjay
never knew of this game until now, tell them to come back with an RPG with dialog choices and romance
>difficulty slopI didn't buy Silksong. Why the hell would I buy a shadow dropped NES game?
Don't give a fuck about the game, don't give a fuck about the publisher and neither the studio, fuck your life
>>723876645ninja gaiden is a niche franchisealways has been
>>723876645Most hit games are cracked day 1, retard. E33, Schedule 1, Silkshit, Palworld, the list is endless
>>723876645I'm sure they're fine games, but I've never cared about the series besides the three on the NES. Which is to say, once they were no longer 2D side-scrollers I lost interest.
>>723876645I'll nab it in December with my extra pay. Sorry OP but money's tightHonestly didn't think it would do this bad though. I'd have put aside some cash to get it otherwise.
>>723879649Normies didn't want turn based RPGs either, didn't stop them all jumping on BG3 with all the hype around it.
PC goyim are hard stuck on their semitic live service farms
Can someone actually point out flaws of the game and why it isn't doing well?
>>723881217The supposed main character of the series is only playable for 4 mission, only have one weapon, and the rest of his weapons are locked behind paid DLCs. Yellow paints for platforming because NG babies are retarded.
>>723876769The market works in mysterious ways
>>723881217Ninja Gaiden it's an obsolete series. I ain't saying it's a bad series, I am saying people I'm general don't care about it.People who cares, which are not many, have a new NG who backlines Ryu and and the gameplay which made the series loved in 1 and 2, having a Platinum style mixed with old NG style.Gamepass and piracy are indeed a factor.No matter how /v/ cry about hardcore and amazing and zoomers etc, if a new Godhand releases, no one would care either, it was polarizing even back then.Although Capcom's marketing team could make a difference, they push they products everywhere.
>>723881362Wtf, reddit was based 10 years ago?
>>723876645>The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessary.Sadly correct.Releasing games without Denuvo is honestly pretty dumb. Piracy is still extremely rampant.
>>723880635They still don't, no one has played the game, Persona dynamics.
Wasn't there that one game that had like 15k concurrent players on Steam and 20k downloads on Fitgirl at day 1? Someone posted it last thread. And this is just fitgirl, it's not even counting other releases.People really underestimate piracy when they say only 0.00001% of people pirate
>>723881217Go woke go broke
>>723879401Silksong has no drm either.
>>723882184Stop trying to go against the narrative. Every games NEED Denuvo.
>>723876645>No quarter-naked Momiji>No half-naked Rachel>No fully-naked Kasumi>Here's incessant radio chatter and edgy shounen OC>$70Miss me with that shit.
>>723876645>Denuvo is necessarypeople aren't playing via steam because they can pirate it, its because nobody outside of Ninja gaiden's relatively niche bubble cares about it.people unfamiliar with the franchise aren't going to flock to it on release
>>723876645I represent all PC players and we simply don't give a fuck about Ninja Gaiden.
>>723876645>error u need to download "something from Microsoft store" to start gameRefund, simple as. Indian engine by indian devs.
>>723879343absolute dogshit game
Piratards are going to cope by saying "those who pirate would never buy the game" but that's a fucking lie. I have pirated many games that I would have otherwise bought. Last one was MGS Delta. I'm a huge MGS autist and was ready to buy the game, but the torrent released before the actual game, so I torrented it and after that I couldn't bring myself to buy a game I already had installed.
Weak bait. Denuvo wouldn't have "saved" this game because the game is just not for everyone. They sold the game to everyone who wanted to buy it, which is how it works. Denuvo doesn't just suddenly create a market, and only marketing and economic retards think that. It's because they think projected earnings is theirs by right and failing to meet those projections is working at a loss, or in the case of piracy, theft.No, not meeting your material costs is a loss. The rest is retarded crystal ball bullshit that is the reason humanity is likely to end it's own existence.
every game doesnt need 100k steam players
>>723879343>Ball x Pit has more players than NG4
>>723876645its another 70 dollar game that runs like shit...
>>723883318>I'm one of you so i totally speak for all of you and completely agree with your detractors. Your glow can be seen from space.
>>723876645If the game is good, most pirates will go on to buy it. Research shows that two-thirds of players polled actually buy one (1) new game every single month.
>>723879343and how many of those who torrented, uninstalled this slop within 2 hours? probably half of them
Never played any Ninja Gaiden except the one on the SNES because the fanbase keeps arguing about which edition is the best one and there's like 36 of them and not all are easy to find and I really don't want to get in on that clusterfuckSo I'll just pirate NG4 when it's and see if I vibe with it or not
>>723876645I didn't even know this game released. Also its $70 for a hack and slash is laughable.
>>723876645I don't care about Crinja Gaiden.Also didn't you faggots cry about it being a shitty sequel or something when it was announced? Now that barely anyone plays it it's good, huh?
>>723876645>70$laffer curve, they are too retarded to understand that only some games can get away with it, not all.It is also on goypass
>>7238812171.Dogshit artstyle 2.Not a very interesting premise3.Focus on hardcore single player users4.Shitty marketing Sonething like GoY is fundamentally ALMOST the same game but it bloats the game with pointless gimmicks, focuses more on story telling and exploration and is shilled hard by sony.
>>723878159Platinum Games isn't an indie dev.Its a $110 game in australia. Its an action RPG, one of the most bloated genres in existence, and that genre is tailor-made for CONSOLES. Not the pc audience. Also Stellar Blade did well on pc despite its high price tag.The last $110 game i bought was Diablows 4. I am not making that mistake again, and i don't even like ARPGs like that.
>>723879343Ball x pit made millions on steam but oh no 17500 people pirated it. People who would have never bought it to begin with.
>>723881362this proves that hollow knight hype was fabricated and fake as fuck
>>723876769>yellow painteh...
>>723884156>it's a $110 game in australiano it is not, it's a A$110 game in australia which is the same as a $70 game anywhere else, stop thinking your fake money is worth as much as real money
>>723881859What are you talking about?It's basically dead if you track downloads
>>723876645Pc gaming is dead because muh action slop isn't selling. Oh no
>>723879343I was one of those.Deleted the game after 10 minutes (it was SHIT) lol
>>723878159Nice bait, drone. How's life? The people who end up being like this have to be depressed.
>>723878159this, no vidya is worth 70 eurodollars
>>723876645>Denuvo is necessaryI am playing the game due to lack of Denuvo but would not have purchased it if they included it. I may now one day purchase the game when it goes on sale if I enjoy it. How does that negatively affect sales?
Looks like the same deal that E33 had. Why is Denuvo necessary here and not there?
>>723883951>Sonething like GoY is fundamentally ALMOST the same game but it bloats the game with pointless gimmicksUtterly clueless and retarded. GoY combat is nowhere near the masterpiece that is NG4 combat.
>>723876645Only bad games need the game pass excuse.
>>723886125Other way around, dysgenic losers who pretend dogshit like ninja Gaiden is good, substituting contrarianism for personality are all depressive freaks
>>723883318Denuvo games tend to underperform. Borderlands 4 has Denuvo, Borderlands 1-3 were piratable day 1. BL4 is underperforming hard.
>>723881217I think normalfags feel like this is some remaster/remake/sequel where you have to play the 24 games that became before it kinda thing. The game has a bad vibe.
>>723883494I sure as hell didI hoped it was going to be good but it's just another survivors game with a different skinpirating is always morally correct and the best way to try a game out
Because there's no hook to it. Stellar Blade did well because it was basically a korean mmo character creator where the devs just dumped hundreds of outfits at you that otherwise costs 30 dollars each for 70 dollars total + jiggle physics and flashy combat to boot. I look at NG4 and I dont see Kasumi, Ayane, Rachel or even DOA favorites like Marie Rose or Honoka as guest characters. Why would I want to play some fruity faggot since Ryu isnt even the main character?
>>723876645Honestly it's just Gamepass that fucks devs over.
>>723887093And with the gamepass boycott that means even less people are subbing to try out the game.
>>723887093>goypass fucks platishit's OC ngayden4 overBased
>>723879543This
>>723879560Anon I'm pretty sure PC piracy long predates the failing game sales of the 2020s.
>>723880717GaaS is the only reason consoles exist anymore, retard-san.
Ninja Gaiden is that type of game where Twitter would post to show how difficult and intense gaming was back then to players but would never buy it if the same game was released in modern times.Denuvo has fuckall to do with a series where only old heads care about from a C-D tier Japanese developer.
>>723886580>>723886913People are waking up and starting to not buy denuvo scams.
>>723876645>Ninja GaidenI don't like action games.
Poorfag here, all my spending money goes into taxes that allow housing for nons, the rest i am saving for a better gpu. Do you think i'm going to spend 70 bones for a game that doesn't even have 12 hours of playtime.Plus, its better to pirate decades old games and pop those into emulators to relieve the good times, i doubt this shit is even worth the space it occupies in my computer.
>>723876645For me, it's the artificially-inflated system requirements that stopped me from buying it, not to mention the rumors I'm seeing that the graphics options are literally locked on lower-end machines. As in: you can't even experiment with them. I'd buy it on PS5, but they're asking $90 for it where I live.
>>723881948why do you assume that people who download even play these games or can run them? the amount of retards in the forums crying that they can't run the games is insane. anyone can pirate this shit, doesn't mean anything about sales.
>>723876645>niche game has not many playerswow shocking!
>>723876645action games will always be just as niche as fighting games.
>>723884156>Platinum Games isn't an indie dev.NTA but they might as well be with all their rockstar devs leaving lmao
Ninja Gaiden fans didn't want a casualized pile of shit. They wanted a Ninja Gaiden game.What they got was yellow paint and witcher vision.
>>723887542How poor are you that you don't even meet minimum requirements?I'm rocking a shitty 6750xt and the game runs smooth 60fps. It defaulted to medium graphics but I don't give a fuck everything still looks great.Why do people buy a $200 laptop and expect it to run games?
>>723876769/v/ doesn't buy games./v/ shitposts, /v/ pirates and /v/ shills, but /v/ doesn't buy games.
>>723887669NG4 is a challenging game bro I recommend you give it a try before spewing dumb shit like this man.
>>723887669>Ninja Gaiden fans...don't exist. The rest of your post is poor fanfiction.
>>723883318I still wouldn't have bought NG4 on release if Dodi didn't have my back because $70 is bullshit, Pt Games are overrated in the genre, and I had other concerns that would have compelled me to wait for the hardcore NGfag seal of approval.
>>723887670Poor as fuck, but you misunderstand. I would absolutely be able to find a compromise to get it running on my machine, if only they let me tweak the settings myself like literally every single other game in existence.
>>723887669This, instead they got casualized yellow shit smeared platinum slop.
>PC gaming>posts a console gamehuh
>>723887837Nigga the minimum requirement is a GTX 1060. Why do you expect to play an AAA release if you don't even have that.

>>723888434>guess you just wont get to experience this kino as fuck game then.I'll get it on PS5 when it drops to the price it's actually worth.
>>723876769>/v/'s perfect little game >only the Chinese bought it
This is why devs do "Old Game: Reboot" rather than "Old Game 4". Harder to generate interest
>>723888846That explains the amount of NGay4 shills being ESL.
>>723886847Case in point. Dreadful way to be.
>>723888608No. Keep seething impotently on the Internet.
>>723876645There's just little interest in it, you overestimate the reach of these games I have minimal interest but seeing the terrible face model on the girl instantly killed the game for me
>>723876645Never paying the 70 shekels tag

>>723876645>>723876769It's a console port and I am not going to pay 70 bucks for a fucking console port in 2025. Publishers and developers raped my ass in the 2010s with their faggy ports/console priority and my ass is sick of it. I'm willing to pay more than 15 bucks when they stop thinking of me as an afterthought.
>>723876645CAGs never sell well, with DMC being the only exception. Being popular with millennials on /v/ != actual success.
>>723889715>CAGsAAAAAAIDS
>>723882184Silksong costs 20$
>>723876769real video games are a dying breed, no one wants to PLAY a GAME, literally look at what's popular on steam, cheap dopamine injectors that cost a couple of bux and get hundreds of thousands of players, or basic slop with pretty visuals and cinematic storytelling, the only hard games people praise are soulslikes because they are easy to comprehend and don't require much brainpower to solve since you can memorize the patterns and executing them is relatively easy, /v/ itself is filled with gacha niggers and the like, wish the industry would die already
>>723889715Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has sold over 6.5 million units across all platforms as of a 2024 data update. It sold approximately 3.15 million units on PS3 and Xbox 360, plus an additional 3.4 million units on Steam.the problem here is NINJA GAIDEN IS FUCKING DOGSHIT
Do people ever stop and think about the success or value of a single player game being dependent on fucking steam charts?
>>723890159Well good thing is NG4 is more like MGR2 than it is a NG game.
>>723876645>thats not hard! Play a real hard game like Ninja Gaiden>thats not hard! Play a real hard game like Ninja Gaiden>that’s not hard! Play a real hard game like ninja Gaiden>wait…why is nobody playing NG4?Add that NG3 was a shitshow and this makes sense. I’ve moved past 2009. Have you?
>>723890109>no one wants to PLAY a GAME,counter strike 2 spray patterns are too hard for most 4chan users
>>723890159Selling 6.5m across all platforms over a decade when your game is attached to one of the medium's top IPs (which aren't in the same genre) isn't really disproving the point.
Herbs. This is a fucking shill thread made by some nonce at EA or Epic Games.Pirate everything, fuck your economy and wallet.
>>723876769there's a decent amount of people on here who are just as casual as the people they complain about. when they get served an actual video game they're nowhere to be seen

>NG4 threads are still shitposting galore
>>723876645Maybe developers should make games with lower budgets so that 5k CCU can be the major financial boon that it should be. I don't see why you need this many developers to make Ninja Gaiden 4. The only people who were going to buy it would still buy it if it had 2007 graphics.
>>723890109There's also the deluge of roguelikeslop where actually learning the game is secondary over sinking many hours in hoping you get a good seed that gives you something that trivializes a run.>there are a handful of 3D action games actually getting released>most of them are roguelikes, Chinese, or Chinese roguelikes

I don't even know if NG4 is actionslop or a 2d platformer. I haven't seen a single screenshot despite laughing in like four threads.
>>723891150Look man Bayo interrupts its own gameplay constantly. I'm not so forgetful that I need cartoon women at all times and will power through a movie game with gimmicky crap to do so. I have no idea who that stuff was for.
>>723876645Nobody under the age of 30 even knows what Ninja Gaiden is
>>723890809The genre is able to hit a revival, it's that the environment of games has been not suited to action games for a long while but it's shifting towards something more friendly towards the genre.>Hi-Fi Rush was a success even among normalfags and there are plans for a sequel>nostalgiafagging has been making beat em ups both as ports and new entries which are themselves the progenitor of 3D stylish action>indie devs within the genre are lining up a bunch of releases for the next couple of years like Genokids, Mightreya, Homura Hime, Enenra, etc.>mainstream devs are recognizing people are getting Souls fatigue and are trying to disguise their games by marketing them as stylish action games, which opens more market demand
>>723876645PC vegans live in an echochamber and I will always laugh at them.
>>723890109goddamn, devs today are this entitled?>my fotm game is merely decent, how dare you not play it on launch day(apparently not cheap too), this is a crime
>>723876645What does game pass have to do with STEAM?
>>723876645They priced this shit way too fucking high. Ninja Gaiden does not have the star power to justify a fucking SEVENTY DOLLAR price tag, especially after a nearly two-decade hiatus from the IP. Had they just bit the bullet and priced it at $40 it would be way more appealing to the modern faggots who have no idea what this franchise is. This series was never worth full-price and this proves it.
>>723891941Platinumsissies always blame someone else for their flop.
Meanwhile.Get absolutely fucked by Duckov.>Make fun game.>Price it fairly.>People buy it and play it.It's that easy.
>>723886691>masterpieceAnd how can casuals know, or rather feel, that if they didn't even buy or play it?

>>723876645>game is on Gamepass day one>"Why are people not paying $69.99?"The game being actually hard also doesn't help. When people say they are okay with "hard" games they mean Souls slop and braindead defense and offense.
>>723876645Not interested in my soulslop
>>723892340>>723892396Cope, character action games are fucking dead.
>>723891231I don't hate roguelikes conceptually but them being so trendy now is obnoxious, especially since most of the time the roguelike elements exist at the expense of game balance and they don't synergize with the design of 3D action games. I think that the average developer nowadays is going for a roguelike not because they think it's the best choice for their game but because it saves on the cost of designing levels, and you don't need to really tweak useless or broken things in the game because them being run-dependent makes the shit balance less of an obvious problem.Either you have to lock whole moves and mechanics behind RNG (which is shit in the genre) or you have to design the game around stat leveling (which also is shit in the genre).
>$70 for the incomplete version>$90 for complete version>no discounts on key sites like every other game>yellow paint everywhere>walkie talkie sections that slow you down to a crawl>art direction suckslmao
Im not paying 70 dollars for any game especially not a 30-40 dollar game like this
>>723876645Game sucks so much series creator died to escape the shame.
>>723892445>The game being actually hard also doesn't help. When people say they are okay with "hard" games they mean Souls slop and braindead defense and offense.delusional shitagaki fanboyfighting games are hard and there are new releasesFUCK OFF
>>723876645>Denuvo is necessaryn-no, piracy doesn't affect sales, just wait until I post the same misleading study from 10 years ago that didn't actually look at videogames!
>>723890951>Bayo took offIt didn't, really. Nier automata was their biggest success.
>>723891680hi-fi rush, that game that killed its studio?
>>723876645>the game sucks>>PC Gaming in fucked???
>>723890109I'm terrible at soulslikes because I hate the process of memorizing patterns.
>>723892797This slop wouldn't sell with Denuvo. Enough with the cope. Nobody wants this garbage.
>>723876769Ninja Gaiden was never popular in the west. It really wasn't. Even amongst the hack and slash games I have always felt it was a niche of even that smaller fanbase. It was never Devil May Cry, it was never Metal Gear Rising. That is ok, but the developers have to be reasonable and understand the series isn't that popular. I will probably get this game however on sale at some point because it looks really fun.
>>723890689You illiterate mongrel, the game industry "dying" doesn't mean no good games are coming out ever, but that it is generally trending towards dogshit and the volume of Actual Games is much lower than it used to be. More importantly, the amount of Actual Game Fans per capita is smaller, causing Actual Games to make less of a splash in the public consciousness which reduces overall demand.
>>723876645>nooooo why are you not playing a game called nigga gay danit is rather peculiar isnt it?
>>723890689nta but Stellar Blade sold because of tits and ass, Nier Automata is a similar case
>>723876645If you aim for the king you better not miss
Crinja Gayden is shitSoulsGODS won
>>723876769>Ask Platinum games to make Bayonetta 15>Sell Bayonetta numbers>Ninja gaiden fans won't buy it because it's Yaiba 2>Platinum fan won't buy it because they don't existIt's selling just as expected
>>723893114>>723893135base
>>723876769ninja gaiden has ALWAYS been a console gamealso >in reality no one cares about itthats why it diedno one cared about the series anymorethe gameplay was dated, people moved on.
>>723893114Ryu? FEARS HIM Yakumo? KOWTOWS TO HIM Rachel and Ayane? GIVE HIM SLOPPY TOPPY
>>723876645Gamepass isn't part of Steam and wouldn't show up in its numbers and denuvo always kills sales. Just accept that the game was niche and isn't going to sell millions.
>>723892182>obvious streamer memeslop>fun game
>>723876645The reason the new game isn't selling is because it looks like shit.The new art design sucks despite having better graphics, it looks worse.And the tone is off. It looks like a shitty squeakquel to Astral Chain.Too colorful/gay fag style and not enough big boobs and gore.
>>723892797You're a bot.
>>723893061this game also has tit and ass
>>723887837post specs, please
>>723893671No it does not. If it did, it would be constantly posted in every thread. It has like two seconds of clothed titties and that's it, everything else is gay gayming for gay gaymers.
Didn't buy it because of thisSorry but paying 70 bucks for the normal version doesn't feel complete when it taunts me with the fricking 90 bucks "actually complete version" right underneath. It makes me disengage and wait for a sale because I'm already too annoyed. I have enough patience for that, got plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
>>723893671Ayane wears a burka.
>>723890236These are All time CCU peaks. They indicate Day 1 hype which often gauges success. Sure this game will sell more over time but the initial legs are weak which is a pity.Nobody cares about concurrent players for a single player game as a stat on its own. People are talking about CCU at release which indicates initial full priced sales.And however you flip this, 11k is small. I blame the lack of marketing and price tag.
Could it be that the '4' is too intimidating for new players? Especially considering the reputation the previous 3 titles have for being too difficult?
Why did discord laser-focus on this game? Every thread has this set-ups as if it was a catalog thread on /vt/ it's uncanny
>>723879343denuvo would've costed them $25000 per month aka 1700 copies sold per month
>>723893751Do you enjoy playing video games or are you just horny?
>>723893949>just name your game wo-something and chinamen will buy itit's that easy
>>723893819Euros basically paying more too btw. 69,99 in Euros is not the same as 69,99 in Dollar. Current pricing policy is so damn annoying it's like I'm being spat on while also being asked for moneyAlso no playable Ayane is a bummer and obvious DLC bait on top which loops back into my initial point
>>723894041Videogames are a heterosexual male activity, despite what your sisters at resetera might have told you.
>>723893976We just had the entire gayming world obsess over silkfart which marketed itself as the hardest game ever
>>723876769>no woke The people who made it weren't white.
>>723876645>>723876769>ninja gaiden without ryu>>>>platinum shitLiterally why should I care about this game?
>>723890236>>723893949For broader comparison here are some other peaks of games that are confirmed underperformers.
>>723888240It's actually more like 55
>>723893671not on the front cover, so most players aren't going to know that and thus aren't interested
>>723894120No it's just you're pretending to be more retarded than you actually are.> It has like two seconds of clothed tittiesAnon, that's most games that "have tits" in them. That's every NG game, every Bayo game, more than most DMC games.
>>723894056Chinamen did buy NG4 >>723888846 like they did other KT games. But still, this game's marketing exposure was limited globally.
>>723894340Never talk to me again, dishonest nigger from resetera.
>>723888240and why the fuck does it look like an UE3 game on Xbox 360?
>>723884345I shared the same opinion as those people until I played the game. I thought Hollow Knight was boring, slow, gay and uninteresting on top of being too easy. It's not until I stumbled upon the soul master or soul tyrant boss fight (the dream version) and finally got stuck that the game (and its purpose) finally clicked with me. I came to really appreciate the music and sound design after that. It's no masterpiece, but it's really well done for an indie game. Colosseum of fools and godhome are the best parts of this game. My only issue was how slow the knight was and the boring traversal as a result, but team cherry understood and fixed the problem by making hornet move much faster in silksong.
>>723893226>people moved onTo souls, which were considered janky and outdated when they premiered. And they stayed janky to this day.
>>723876645>series infamous for being unforgiving and difficult>gameplay is seeing a scrawny little dude backflipping on screen like a butterfly>most of the time your screen is blood red>difficulty autism without the pseud zanzibart forgiveth me>there's one hot girl you see once or twiceIs the story good at least? Releasing a hardcore singleplayer game at base 70$ is a hard sell unless you have a gimmick. Stellarblade sold ~3million on both pc and ps5 because it had a gimmick. What's NG4's gimmick or must buy reason? How big is the autism difficulty crowd?Are the soundtrack and story good enough to motivate you to bash your head against the game's difficulty wall? Why not play a souls game instead which at least have some advertising behind them and you know they released?
>>723894383>yeah I'm just saying nothing, so whatvery cool
>>723894041Those are not in any way mutually exclusive you worthless feminist subhuman.If a game doesn't have tits it's not made for men, and games that aren't made for men are trash regardless of other factors.
>>723894543The gimmick is that it's made for girls and fujos that want to see effeminate boys kissing other boys while they self insert as the boring damsel in distressAs you can see it worked flawlessly to drive sales into the ground
One day this place will realize Steam concurrent player charts aren't indictive of a game's success. It won't be today, or this year, but it needs to happen soon. Nobody knows what they're even looking at.Ban steam chart threads
>>723876645the game is just shit that nobody wants to play. ninjas are lame in 2025. the current meta are samurais.
>>723894179>>723893949>loses to flopspokenBarry won
>>723887093>>723887235Expedition 33 was Day One on Gamepass, a new game made by a new studio, yet it didn't get fucked over by Gamepass.If the game is great Gamepass can't harm it on anywhere but on the Xbox platform itself.
>>723894761Nioh 3 bros... w-we... we are so fucked bros...
>>723893949The amount of damage Wo Long did to Team Ninja reputation + Asmongold shitting on it sealed the deal on anything Team Ninja related.Nioh 2 build up so much reputation for Team Ninja and they burned it all down with Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin. Retarded studio.
>>723894960If Nioh is your best, you really don't deserve to be in business.
>>723892838That was Microsoft being incompetent, they talked about how the game met all success metrics they laid out for it and even that they wanted more games like it. Tango ended up getting purchased by gooks and continuing development on the sequel so the sequel is probably going to be shit.
>on game passPretty sure they accounted for that with Money.
>>723894746This is a silly psyop by you guys. Barely any games ever made fit the criteria you're describing, and very few great games. NG4 has a woman with a goofy rope going between her tits before the game even actually starts. I don't know what you want but I'm intrigued by your persistence that games somehow used to be vaguely pornographic.
>>723887093Wo Long was on Goypass day 1 and the game was un fucking playable on PC, yet it still got these numbers >>723893949Please stop bringing up Microshit scams as if they matter anymore. The whole Muttbox ecosystem is irrelevant.
>>723895027Nioh is the best ARPG franchise on the market.
>>723895141>so the sequel is probably going to be shitPar for the course since the first game was niggershit too.
>>723895665And I'm a headphone.
>>723881859Nigger,one of the most famous repack sites (Dodi) barely has a total number of 100 seeders and leechers and I don't think whoever wants to play this is waiting for the FatGuy repack, enough with this nonsense.I don't even think more than a 1000 people total pirated this game
>>723894353When chinamen buy a game it hits 200k easyNO BO DY bought ng4
>>723894960You forgot SoP which was their best rollsloppa
>>723889932And it had no drm
>>723895949The chaos memes and the discourse it created in normalfag world makes it hard to take that game in consideration regarding its effect on future Team Ninja sales. Most people saw it as another Square Enix Final Fantasy game.
>>723876645>release an actual good game >nobody buys itFuck this gay earth
>>723894539>jankyso?they are more fun than NG
>>723876645expensive 3D games with demanding graphics can't just be arcadeslop that only is about gameplay, might aswell just play a 10 dollar indie game for that.We want our systems being used to their fullest potential to create amazing art like E33
>>723876645>PC gaming needs helpNo, Anon. You need help. You need to stop this delusion that ninja gaiden is still a relevant franchise because you and some of your buddies have your little echo chamber. It's just like all the people larping as former arena shooters professionals, yep quake was a good game. Yet none of them plays anymore.
>>723876645the game looks soulless and gaudy. loved ng04 and 2 but not playing this one.
>>723876645Aren't most people who'd be into this genre console players? I dunno, I never liked the genre, but I always remembered them always playing on their playstations or xbox.
>>723876645>on game pass>result: can barely reach 10k playersyou do understand that steam doesn't count gamepass players right OP?
>>723896542It's not 2005 anymore.
>>723896251Gamers didn't buy LSA and nobody cared because it wasn't a big IPNow gamers aren't buying NG4 and suddenly you're surprised
>>723895949I remember the insane butthurt whenever someone said it was anything close to a souls game
>>723876645>>723876769I don't buy on release anymore and never for more than $20 after. The profitability of a product is not my problem.
I'm not buying it because, while i did like NG2B, there just wasn't much to justify the price. I don't get anything out of bumping the difficulty because i don't play games for the challenge. I play them for fun and if i'm not having fun at a higher difficulty setting it's not worth playing. Now finishing NG2B had unlocked new content, new characters, new enemies, just NEW STUFF in general, i would have probably replayed it. But as it is NG2B is fun for about 10 hours, which is how long it took me to finish it once, and that's it. Which is terrible for a full price game. Considering all that, NG4 looks like exactly the same and i'm not falling for that again. Ninja Gaiden games are half price titles, at best. At least for me because i don't get anything out of playing it for the combat alone. The fighting is the treadmill but i still need a carrot that keeps me there.
>>723896634I wasn’t surprised about that either, gamers are fucking retarded and care more about horse ballsack graphics and romance sims than actual fun gameplay.It’s all so tiresome.
>>723876645>Denuvo has no data backing up that it increases sales.>Game pass is so toxic to legitimate sales it even impacted COD.I feel baited, this is my fault for responding to your retarded thread.
>>723896442Grim future for vidya when you consider what passes as a relevant franchise these days. Thank God the live service craze wasn't around 30 years ago or we'd be actually fucked.
>>723894135Yeah, but you presumably don't have to play 3 equally difficult games before Silksong to "understand" what's going on. Idk man, I'm just spitballin'. Maybe NG just isn't as big as we imagined it to be.
>>723876645Torrent downloads barely scratch the publishers profits.
>>723881217all of these anons replying are retards, the obvious thing is that everyone knows 5 foot tall japanese ninjas are not cool and were never cool
>>723889195To be fair DMC as a series isn't known to be white knuckle hard.Souls game despite their reputation aren't that hard.NG has built it's reputation over the last 20 years on twitch reflexes action game with a generic ninja anime story that no one cares about and you're surprised it doesn't have mass appeal.I got my fill of NG with the 2 remake 6 months ago then bought rage bound thinking it would feel more like nes ng. I have no interest in the gameplay or story right now, maybe in 6 months.
>>723876645I've got all the characters in Warriors Orochi 3.
>>723896580>>723895504
>>723876769why buy ninja gaiden 4 now when you can buy ninja gaiden 4 non-fucked-up version a year later?
>not playing games because of denuvo
If they added Denuvo I simply would have just pirated another game to play, not paid $70 for a game I barely cared about.
>>723876645with denuvo it wouldn't have sold more, there is no market for such games anymore, that's the truth, also there are too many games now, people already found their pigeon hole.
>>723891729why do you snoy retards insist on that astroturfed phrase
>>723897181Dunno. Why do you insist on blaming everything on the snoy boogieman?
>>723897168when are we seeing her pigeon hole again
>>723897134simply this
>>723897035>and you're surprised it doesn't have mass appealI never said that because I didn't expect that. I did however expect more than 11k players at once at the week of launch. There are probably more people than that who played NG2 on Xbox One instead of 360.
>>723897056I'm just saying since OP implied that they were counting towards the player count its probably a flop regardless
>be a ninja gaiden fan>buy ninja gaiden 4>look inside>not ninja gaidenrefund or start coping. your call.
>>723896810You can still get some very niche stuff such as elite dangerous finally being profitable or simracers like assetto corsa to thrive. I wouldn't say it's necessary grim unless you only care about steamcharts of course.
>>723897063How is the game fucked up now?
>>723897406We have a lot of decent cheap stuff but without AAA it feels like we're stuck in gen 7 forever. Even VR now has gen 7 graphics because of Metashit. Let me out of gen 7
>>723897459no real ryu option
>>723897168Hard games where you get a full game reload after death are massively out of style. The Souls way of teleporting you back to a checkpoint that you know exactly where it's at just feels so much better. NG4 just feels like shit to play because you have no idea where you will go back to or what the progress you're losing will be. I bought upgrades and then died and had to redo the purchase again. Incredibly outdated game design. These action games need to evolve, and not even with the combat.
Ninja Gaiden was always niche.
>>723897406I like stealth games, FPS, and action games like those discussed itt. It's pretty dire for all that. Before too long I'll just be playing custom content for old games.
>>723886836>posts a list of bad gameshuh
>>723897283>boogieman
>>723898089Oh I see. That might be a bit too scary a story for someone your age. Ask your mom what it means.
>>723897671>NG04 save points were the original bonefiresbrilliant take, truly revolutionary
AAA gaming in general is fucked, there are literally four or five titles that can still sell well nowadays, everything else is dying.
>>723876645100k sales for a small indie game is very good though.
>>723879343>350k day one salesHow is it bad for a indie game??
>>723876645I don't even know what's happening anymore. this is probably the only big AAA game everyone who is into vidya should get this year. if this can't sell we're fucked.
>>723898865bonfires*>>723898934They kinda fucked themselves in the ass by trying to "outsize" each other. The "bigger" the game the less likely it is that the casual customer will buy another AAA single player game. Or maybe, realistically this outcome was beyond anyone's control.
>>723876769/V/ is brown our PC can't run it
>>723881217The only actual reason is Ninja Gaiden has been dead as a franchise for 12 years and does not have the brand power to be throwing around $70 price tags. That's it.None of this faggot pseudo-intellectual shit about artstyle, "muh Platinum" or "muh Ryu" -- especially because 99% of the people who would have bought this game, if it were cheaper, don't know who the fuck Ryu is.
>Ninja sloptry again faggot
>>723876645Paid full price for digimon (no dlc though fuck bandai)Don't care for ninja gayden, never have Sometimes it really is that simple
>>723899173just because you suck at shooters doesn't mean BF6 isn't excellent
>>723876645PC is the realm of FPS, western RPGs, MMOs, strategy games, and indies. Not character action games.Plus they just aren't that popular anymore. Most genres are in the middle of dying out.
>>723898998>100k sales
>>723876645What does Denuvo have to do with that? What an odd thing to bring up.

I am interested but my PC has been in need of an upgrade for a while nowHowever I can't justify upgrading it for current AAAslop. So, I'll play it in a few months when I get around to upgrading.
>>723902270Yup. Like that anon said. The masses are retarded.
>>723903405counter strike 2 requires more skill than any hack n slash gameFUCK YOU
>>723881217No marketing, that's all. Stellar blade showed that even the most bland game imaginable can succeed nowadays as long as there are people blabbering about it.

>>723876645>team ninja>another shitty nioh>after 4 nioh games(nioh2,Stangers of paradise, wu long,Rise of ronin) floppedThey can only make Nioh which no one wants, that usually runs like crap. Only reason Nioh 1 even sold was cuz people thought its Budget cut Sekiro, but it was way worse.

>>723876645> please please please just accept you own nothing and deserve nothing your hard earned money should belong to uskill yourself. I mean it. You are a net negative for mankind and the actual reason gaming is dying.
>>723876645Doesn't the new sexy girl die at the end or something? I'm tired of Japanese games always killing off girls that actually have a fun personality.
>>723908481both wo long and nioh sold well
>>723894135They didn't market anything. TC just randomly announced the game would be dropping in 2 weeks and everyone went batshit insane
>>723912442>userskek
>>723903732Imagine, official Ayane onlyfans. That would have been a revolutionary marketing strategy.
>>723908481kek, good puppers
Turns out people don't wanna buy a $3k PC just to barely be able to run Borderlands 4 at 60 fps. Zoo wee mama.I will be sticking with my MacBook and RuneScape.
>>723881217besides de lack of marketing. the game feels like platinum slapped the NG IP and its characters on an already being developed game.the art direction feels nothing like NG, Yakumo feels displaced with his design, ryu is incomplete and his weapons will be DLC, 90% of the game is you playing as Yakumo, Yakumo plays like a lot closer to raiden from MGR than someone from NG.people on these threads are saying the game is not a platinum game and plays nothing like one, but they wrong as fuck about it
how much does Microsoft pay for the license on Gamepass?>$2.2M Steam revenue>~$2M console sales, probably similar to PC>$1-2M for Gamepass dealnet revenue so far $4-5M USD, not bad for a niche game not tailored for modern slop audience?idk the development, marketing, and production costs, i assume it's a smaller budget given the focus on gameplay and not movie-like narrative etc...
>>723916236NTA also the bosses in NG4 are basically soulshit bosses with red sekiro attacks, two phases and bloated health bars, even NG2 bosses were better.
>>723884345>gugu gaga random retardditor comments prove uhh abloo abloo aarrraraReally convincing """arguments""" bro
Haven't seen any ad for the game. They probably did not market it well
>>723876645no one gives a fuck about Ninja Gaiden
>>723876645People just don't want to buy $70 games. Denuvo doesn't fix that, steam sales do.
>>723916748$70 seems so steep, but when you adjust for inflation it's on par or slightly cheaper than buying $50 games in 2005 when i was a kid
I will never buy a Platinum game at full price after Astral Chain.
>>723916841People were buying used games all the time back then though, something that they're no longer doing in the digital distribution age. It's like when people say games cost a shit ton in the 90's. They did, that's why everyone rented SNES cartridges and now rentals only live on via GamePass/PS+ but the selection is very limited..
He won
>>723876645i'm not paying $70 for a video game.
>>723876645>>723876769I'm not buying it at 70, that fucking price tag cannot become the norm, fuck them.If it were 50 I'd instantly buy it.
>>723916841that's great and all, but $50 is better than the $0 people are paying because they can't justify paying $70
>>723889932i don't think people realize yet that e33 and silksong have legitimately started to kill aaa gaming with those price points. no one wants to pay $70(+dlc tip) when they got kino games for $50 and $20 respectively. throw in tons of f2p games and yeah, people will wait for the sale or more likely, forget about the game and move on by the time it goes on sale.
>>723896634LSA had OK gameplay and mediocre to bad everything else. Combined with being a totally new IP by a first time dev and $70 for that it's understandable why LSA didn't do well.
>>723916435varies on the game. the payment are made either by making a deal with a publisher or directly with the devs.majority of devs get fucked though. gamepass is only good if your game was already gonna be a success anyway
>>723916514I lost hope on platinum. and it seems there ist not a single soul that can shake up the gameplay philosophy inside that studio. even the vets were washed up and left after bankrupting the studio that forced them to get money from tencent
>>723916646there's some FOTM topping charts on Steam right now and it had exactly 0 marketing.
>>72387664556% are Chinese btw. White people don’t like good games.
>>723890109>wish the industry would die alreadyI'm doing my part.
>>723876645I never played this series as I have been a PC only chad since the 90's.Why would I get into this series from the 4th game?Also I didn't see any mention of keyboard and mouse support and if it plays well with them so my interest is instantly gone. Thing about us PC players is that we have a LOT of choice, so if you just throw shit at our feet and expect us to eat it up like a hungry dog it isn't happening.
>>723876854lulz
>>723879401All those people are also Chinese.
>>723918037Despite what /v/ tells you the majority of white people are gaming on PS5 in America.
>>723917423Silksong is a shit game. Not worth any amount of money.
>>723907839shazam lost
>>723881362>hate theme on r/gaming logo even back then
>>723891518>they made
>>723876769now explain megabonk which doesnt have denuvo or game pass or woke in itno one wants to play a "hard game" unless it gives you customization and co-op options like souls slop
I really hope Japan realizes that if good games are going to survive, the industry will have to become Chinese.
>>723918690>Chinese>good games
Ninja Gaiden is niche, it must've done pretty well to find 10k protective players on PC.
>>723918780Was going to mention Go but that was Taiwan that invented it.
>>723918849prospective players* fuck I'm retarded
>>723888846did the chinks rike it this time?
>>723876769if theres no denuvo why wouldnt I just pirate it?
>>723879564>no game without denuvo does wellElden Ring retard
>>723881217despite what /v/ may want you to think, Ninja Gaiden is a very niche game
>Has more Japanese-accurate subs when JP voices are onThis alone makes it better than most games. The one modern-game-ism that really fucks with the game aesthetically is yellow paint
>>723876645>The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessarymaybe your slop just isn't worth 80 dollars?
>>723918059after seeing AssMongoloid give exactly the same take and seeing him play action games I'm thinking most PC players are as retarded as console players
>>723876645I'll pirate it now and buy it on sale for €15 2-3 years later.
>>723879560>There's a reason why game companies are still using denuvo.yeah, for shareholders, if poor people really were playing this game you'd see them making free advertisement.
>>723918780Yep
>>723879783post hours.
>723919804The future of /v/ and the industry is fucking grim.
>>723919636You watch assmunchgold, you are in no position to call anyone retarded.
>>723876645>$70
>>723919850If you compare it to japan's current output then yes. The only action games I have played this year chinese, wo long and AI Limit, and korean, stellar blade, khazan and lies of P's dlc. The rest is old strategy games, like total war and age of empires 3, and an arpg, POE2. Absolutely zero japanese games interested me this year. This hasn't happened before.
>>723876645ngl I didnt even know this game was announced or released until this thread LMEOW
>>723920106
>>723918261PC is the white man's platform tho
>>723920106Meant wuchang. God this game deserved better.
>>723920210>slopKill yourself
>>723876769anon the game is good but it dooes not have good production valuesit looks awful and the levels get reused a shitton
>723876769>>gameplay-focused rather than a movie game>>great production valueLMAO great joke
>>723920210Well there's also that new digimon game but the complete edition is like 90 fucking dollars. I am just drained by now. No wonder data analysts are saying gamers are buying new games less and less. Nobody can keep up with prices like this.
>>723876645wasn't ninja gaiden always niche as fuck due to the difficulty?
MUH FUCKIN CHARRTHOLEEOHHH FUCKOH MY FUCKING CHART!!!!
>>723920481It's that and frankly the games just lack any charm. It always felt way too serious compared to its competitors like DMC and Bayonetta.
>>723920106I’m just saying the industry has to become Chinese in that games have to become Chinese. It’s ultimately the Chinese consumer who will save the industry, especially the Japanese industry.
>>723920234When you get older you don't want to fuck around with PC as much and you don't want to spend as much because you can buy a cheap ass PS5 and then save the $ for your kids college fund or for a vacation. You turn the console on, it works, it's instantly at the last place you were at, and you can pause at any time.Your average normalfag white is gaming on PS5.
>>723920602I suppose that is also true. Like mentioned before, only the chinese are buying NG4 because they are currently the biggest audience for action games. Westerners prefer rpgs and competitive shooters.
>>723881309>and the rest of his weapons are locked behind paid DLCsWait, are you serious?
>>723876645I bought it and am enjoying it well enough but there was basically no marketing. I only found out it was coming out 2 days before it did from scrolling steam upcoming releases section.
>>723876645>even the tranny horse game manages to do betterOH NO NO NO NO
>>723920602Chinks are already the main ones buying games, especially jap ones. Hell, they are the main ones buying this too >>723888846
>>723920732Yes people were complaining about bit for months, hence the lack of hype around here. Ryu really got shoved in the back.
>>723920748Despite /v/'s psyop, gamers really do want to see girls in games. NG4's marketing however is on two sweaty men.
>>723876645ninja gaiden never sold well i dont know why people are pretending is does all of a sudden the game is brutal and hard people couldnt even handle elden ring let alone this
>>723893976a part of me considered refunding VTMB2 and getting NG4 but i remembered i've been stuck 1/3 of the way through NG1 for the past two years since i have to put it down for 3 months after dying a few times in a row.
>>723876645>The first step is admitting that Denuvo is necessary.>sure that will make our game a success!Hey mr. corpo, struggling?
>>723876645The game is shite. That is all that matters.>>723876769because the game is complete shite.>>723879343that's not true. there are way too many videogames and too little time to play all of them.>>723881217Sure, directly related to my post.Futuristic setting but you run around with a metal sword like a fucking retard, while enemies use automatic weapons. Some enemies are even more retarded than you are and also use the metal blades despite clearly having the amazing technology of an automatic weapon.Movement/combat/action looks like sped up trip on drugs of a seezing autismal /v/tarfd.beginning of the game story: instead of killing the target, the target uses speech100 on you and you save the target instead and ignore the comms of a hysterical cunt in your ears. Just to save some other retarded cunt that should have been dead after level 1.That is not a story a straight man is interested in. It's that simple.
>>723876645LOLShit game crashed and flopped
>>723879576>Both games are good.apparently not
>>723876645HOW DO YOU DO MY FELLOW SHINOBIS??PLEASE BUY NINJA GAIDEN™ 4™
>>723920351then the game is not good
>>723922092Holy cringe
How do I automatically filter steamchart threads like these? What are the methods
This is what happens when you make an asian vame and there isnt a cute girl on the cover.
>>723910616>It wasnt niche on OG xboxlmao
>>723891518Mental illness: The post. Is this just a moment of lucidity or what+
>>723920210Ukrainians are a captivating race
>>723876645>platinumslopLOL AWWWWWW WITTLE ZOOMIE WOOMIE IN FOR BABBYS FIRST REALITY CHECK!
>>723920676Not having to manually tune your games is the advantage of console over PC, but having to pay for the privilege of online play, and having to pay more on average for your games puts a huge dampener on consoles.
>>723876645It freezes+crashes on starting a new game nigger
>>723923185When you only have so long to play games and interruptions can happen at any time, that's when single player starts to edge out multiplayer again. The paid online is barely a factor outside of wanting to see messages when a new Souls game drops. Most of the multiplayer slop being played now is also f2p which doesn't need you to buy a sub to play online. For anyone young, PC is where it's at. For anyone without a job, wife, and family; PC is where it's at. For anyone that's busy, consoles end up being worthwhile. They're like e-readers, really. Your phone can read whatever the fuck you want, but some people prefer the simplicity of a device that only does 1 thing so they don't get distracted.(AKA spending your time posting on 4chan on the other monitor instead of playing games, which I'm doing right now.)..
>>723922684>1.20m on an unpopular system in 2004Those are good numbers
>>723900169And Hitler is a jewfaggot genetically therefore not a real white yet here you are preaching his cut off foreskin logic
>>723922684Thats a high for seller the time, there were way less people playing vidya 20 years ago anon
Has Ninja Gaiden ever actually been popular? Most of my experience with the franchise on /v/ is the players screeching about DMC and GOW being more popular.
>>723876645I pirate games and wait for them to be half off at least before I buy them.
>>723887775this lol I think this whole genre is a relic of a time when people who bought games enjoyed gameplay. It's really depressing to see this it's not even like Bayonetta or DMC are difficult games yet crapcum swore they'd never make another DMC a month after it raked in millions of sales. It wasn't enough for them. Bayo is a Nintendo vaulted series now and will simply be retired after the stylistically poor state of 3. NG is a bit on the extreme side of gameplay but it's the logical direction of a hair splitting paced action game. What this means is we'll literally never see a game with detailed combat mechanics also have a big budget world to experience at the same time.
>>723912442Where is Robin?>>723913020It says sales
>>723926156>DMC and GOW being more popularNaturally, those games were PS2 exclusives
we'll look back after gaming is dead and gone and note denuvo as being one of the reasons why.
>>723926421>What this means is we'll literally never see a game with detailed combat mechanics also have a big budget world to experience at the same time.Ghost of Yotei is a game for (you) anon. Platinum was trying to turn bayonetta 3 into an empty world slop and even they gave up on that garbage idea.
>>723926156Not really no. Even 15 or so years ago, the only thing I ever remember about ninja gaiden was seeing a review for it at a game magazine and an infamous ad about Ayane's jiggle physics, which I thought was for DOA./v/ is really the only place I know that talks about it. Same with other games like God Hand.
>>723876769>>723876645bro it's October 20th. people are waiting until christmas, retard
>>723876645>>723876769Literaly: No Momiji No Buy.Simple As.
>>723881217Lack of propaganda.And the game isn't a popular genre either
>>723927114Its koei. They rarely do discounts. Also people are going to buy old games from last year instead.
>>723876645can't buy until the end of the month i blew my load on bf6 and jurassic park
>>723876645>on game passthen why would people be playing it on steam?Also I didn't realize it had come out already, might check it out when I'm done with what I'm playing now.
>>723876769I haven't played the previous 3.
>on gamepass>$70 single player game>traditional action game>franchise that was never really all that popular amongst the general populationThere’s your reasoning
>go to store page>60 fucking GBPIn the same year as Expedition 33 and Silksong that is a fucking joke. I know this isn't a AAA game I ain't paying that.
>>723890109>don't require much brainpower to solve since you can memorize the patterns and executing them is relatively easyHow is this different from ninja gaiden?
>>723876769>no wokeOkay why can't it be a game where I play as Ryu instead of fujobait?
>on game pass>using Steamchart player numbers
>>723876645cope. E33 launched on gamepass, no denuvo, and it still has more players than this boring jank.
>>723881217Platinum only knows how to make one type of action game and they've been becoming increasingly efficient at getting worse at it for years now
>>723876645Dmc won Ninja gaiden lost once again
>>723925729Now show the ps2 software sales.>>723926138It wasn't.
>>723926156I don't think any Ninja Gaiden sold even two million. Niche franchise.
>>723876645Make a better game bitch. I'm still playing the Skyrim, oblivion and fallout 4 DVDs I got for 5 bucks each two decades ago in clearance. Get fucked
>Has Denuvo, better name brand with Sonic and hype due to retards hating Mario Kart and trying to cope>This is the resultYou just can't sell unappealing games to people.
>>723930143Not for $70. Sonic and NG4 are $50 games at most.
>>723876645I played it on Gamepass and it's a 7.5/10. It's not worth $70. I would have bought it for like $25.
it should have stayed dead anyways whose bright idea was it to make a new ninja gaiden in this day and age have you seen the slop that people are playing
>no denuvoThe deluxe edition after NYC sales tax is almost $100. The piratebay ghetto edition is looking good right now not even gonna lie.
>>723876645This isn't a PC game, why would I care about it? Stop shitting up steam with consoleslop
>>723881217People just aren't hyped for Ninja Gaiden at all. The remasters released recently aren't selling well either. Didn't help that NG4 costs like $70.
>>723898081that's the point. these are all relatively underperforming
>70 dollars
>>723920210always chinks and bug people asians forcing animals to make cringe faggot videos for social media lol
>>723876645Asking me to pay more than $40 for something that you have a literal unlimited supply of is just not acceptable. So, i just wont. I like NG but not for $70 (actually 90)
im surprised this kusoge still has denuvo desu
>>723917124>"its the type of game I want but gosh darnit 10 more dollars than what I've paid for the last 3 decades is OUTRAGEOUS I refuse!!!!! even tho i havent bought anything else this year I just refuse to pay 10 dollars for a game I know I will enjoy!!!!!"LMAO ok 80+ I can see but 70? you know if you use the gmg coupons you basically can get it for 54 dollars right? good fucking lord
>>723884264If they wouldn't have paid anyway then I might as well make sure they get executed. I have no use for literal vermin.
>>723876645Like it or not, nu-ninja gaiden has a rep for being so hard that souls shits its pants whenever it even looks NG's way.It's not the sort of game that'd have a huge userbase to begin with. You add that casualfilter to it, and of course it's not gonna fucking sell much. Are you retarded?
>>72393226399% of games can only dream to "underperform" like that. Those games were profitable, they are considered a financial success.
11k is wildEven a random game like Wuchang had 10 times the peak>b-b-b-but thats chinese players10% of wuchang peak is still more than 11k
>>723876645How do I not die on hard?? I am stuck on the 2nd purgatory and tried the hardest difficulty for like 40 mins straight. Do I just hold guard 24/7 ? How do you deal with the flying gunners without being chipped to death.
>>723876645>seventy fucking dollars>plus $20 day one DLC (for content that isn't even out yet)>literally who main character>parry-slopday 1 pirate
>>723940218Yakumo is cooler than Ryu desu. Ryu is just in the game for the boomers.
>>723879885based>>723879901real
>>723876645>false advertising>is called Ninja Gaiden 4>has nothing to do with Ninja Gaiden>is actually platinum slop>you play as some faggotI'm glad this insulting shit is failing.
>>723940284Said no one ever.
>>723940284None of you want to admit it, but Ninja Gaiden is mostly carried by people being fans of Ryu.
>>723876769>>723876645I was always more of Devil May Cry dude, Ninja Gaiden was never my thing. I might get it when its on deep discount.
>>723940848I thought it was a remake of an old game I had no idea it was by platinum until I pirated it. Game is pretty fun but your character looks like a gay asshole. Like that they are bringing big tities back to the mainstream games.
>>723876645What's Ninja Gaiden and why should I care?
>ggn is still getting DDOS'd cause some fag got butthurt over being bannedwhile I wait for the torrent to start working, reminder that the NG Black mod for Sigma got updated the other dayhttps://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/7
>>723876645no one gives a fuck about Ninja Gaydencontrarians deluded themselves into thinking this slop series is the DMC killer
