>marathon top #3 seller on PSN store passing Crimson Desert>top #2 on SteamHOW DO WE STOP THOSE BUNGIE WOKEFAGS FROM RUINING GAMES, WHY ARE PEOPLE SUCH CATTLE TO BUY THIS KIND OF GAMES
>Arc Raiders roll gameplay enjoyer upset when games with skill existlmao. My favorite part is how "woke" Arc Raiders is itself. All the females and negros and shit. Reminder your favorite game never came close to Dota 2 player count or CS2 player count. Cope.
>>734207351Marathon is a blast, a true return to form by Bungie.They managed to capture a lightning in a bottle.
Bro its complaining about woke which using steam when literally every single valve employee voted democrat and not a single voted anything else
>>734207757would make sense that steam is rigging the top sellers to push woke propaganda
>>734207961Actually all it means is that there hasn't been a new fotm friendslop game in a while.
mental illness thread
>>734207351no… THIS CANT BE… they must be paid shills… OP MUST BE A SECRET PAID SHILL USING REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY TO INSTILL FEAR ON US… no matter… i must relay this information to our supreme thought leader Asmongold today, yes… perhaps another Doctor Disaster video with an ai thumbnail will slow the shills down… but of course… MODS I REQUEST THAT YOU DELETE THIS THREAD IMMEDIATELY… the shills did not pay for this ad and its polluting my board!
>>734207351I bought the deluxe version on Steam. I’m so amped up, I feel like I’m investing in a shitcoin, sure the game is fun but the stakes are so high. It could be defunct in a matter of months! I might lose everything! My $60, gone, poof. But that’s part of the thrill of Marathon.
>199.99 for a fucking gameDo wrestlingfags really?
>>734207351>Literally who>Literally who>Martahon>MMO Who the fuck is buying this shit?
It seems to be doing a lot better on Steam. On psn it's actually 21st overall, getting beaten by stuff like Reanimal, that little nightmares game that came out over two weeks ago.
>>734210712/v/ doesn't want you to know this, but most PS players buy a PS to play sportsball games.
>>734207351Normies don't check the reviews before they consoom. That is why they are normies.Marathon isn't a game for normies, they will refund en mass when it launches lol just like how 50% instantly dropped the free demo. The game itself gives a dog shit first impression and that's all normal fags care about
>>734207351those ratings are all relative to each other - if no one is buying anything then 10k purchases seems like a giant upward swing
>>734210871It's third on the list
>>734207351Marathon won and mentally ill schizo posters are going to have to come to terms with that
>>734207351im more concerned about the people dropping $200 on a WWE preorder
>>734207351That's not best sellers. You're on pre orders. It's like number 15-20 on ps>>734210889That's all systems. Even the switch 2 is starting to become a niggerball system. Western audiences keep buying that shit
>>734210930Of preorders, but there's nothing else coming out soon to preorder. Crimson Desert is 24th overall, but its release is further out so we'll see how high it gets 2 days before release like Marathon is now.
>>734211467>It's like number 15-20 on psCare to show an image of that?
>>734211484You say it's 21st but there's no evidence of that
>>734211135It's maddening. I went to gamestop to pick up my copy of requiem and saw like three guys in front of me pre ordering the wwe game. 2 ps and 1 switch from what I remember
>>734211484Plus the standard and deluxe edition are counted seperately
>>734211520https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/d0446d4b-dc9a-4f1e-86ec-651f099c9b29/1?sortBy=sales30&sortOrder=descIt's number 19
>>734211601It's insane how popular wrestling still is like you might as well say you're into power rangers. I never got into it as a kid because I thought it was too gay and not cool at all like grow men going grrr at each other and doing stank face are you five ?
>>734207351why are people preordering digital games? it's one thing to "pre-order" 30 mins before release so you can preload on a midnight drop or whatever, but why exactly would you spend money on a game days, weeks, sometimes even MONTHS in advance of being able to play the game? it's not like there is a limited supply
>>734211858It's also not like you can even launch the game on the day because they never work lol
>>734211858Yeah I don't judge or care what people like. Its just crazy to me that all some people buy is sports games. No matter the platform this plauges the western game industry
>>734207351Anon, I don't think you understand how this top sellers chart works. Here's some helpful tips:>it's a rolling average of the last 24 hours, and the spots are determined relative to one another>this means if you have four games, where two sell 1m copies each and two sell 10k copies each, all four will appear in the top sellers list where everything else sells less than 10k>RE9 being #1 consistently more or less means it's the only real, major new game out right now>that Marathon is fighting for 3rd and 4th (it's 3rd on the global sellers list, btw) with CS2, PUBG, and Apex is a bad sign, because those games are fucking old and have minor salesAdd to this the fact that Bungie hasn't bragged about any kind of sales figures and you can assume it's sold less than 1m units, easy.And other anons have pointed out it's getting shit on in ratings on the PSN and console stores.And the grim reaper of upcoming flops has also given it a kiss of death.
>>734212950Shhh, don't come bringing sense to the troll thread.
isn't it incredible how there are people playing video games minding their business and then there's an entire subset of the Internet who's always seething at them and the games they play (instead of playing video games themselves)is there a name for this mental illness?
>>734212950>consistent top seller for a week now>somehow its bad>ps niggers reviewbombing the playtest just because of bluepoint autism meaning anythingwe went from "this will die on release like concord" to some interesting mental gymnastics
>>734213186The trolls' bussies are mine to bully, anon>>734213256>i-it's a top sellerRe-read my post, you retard. A game could be a 'top seller' moving 90% less units than the game one spot higher than it on the chart.>this game will die on releaseIt very well could. Veilguard did and was #1 on the top seller list for more than a week before it launched, and Marathon barely crawled into the top 5 a week before it launched.The only way Marathon can be a success is if you choose to ignore data you find inconvenient or distasteful.
>>734213427>The only way Marathon can be a success is if you choose to ignore data you find inconvenient or distasteful.but you are the one ignoring the real data, you dishonest niggerveilguard was top seller on release only, then it flopped hardthere is plenty of big releases in top sellers, like crimson desert, death stranding II, all way below Marathonkeep coping and keep seething asmonbro
Why would you have attachment to this at all? Especially to the point you'd want to defend it or preorder it? Do you just eat slop for a living or what? The dev is in a death spiral, their last game is hated, this game has had nothing going for it from positive word of mouth. It's just insane how people can plug their ears and still blindly slop this up. RE9 just came out. Crimson Desert in 2 weeks. If you find yourself playing this or carrying about this over them you're a fucking lost cause.
>>734213256Out of the top 100 games on steam best sellers 71 of them cost less than marathon.Steam best sellers is based upon revenue.I should not have to tell you why its not good
>>734213724why do you spend your free time trying to make people not to play a game instead of not being a sad pathetic nigger on the internet and let people play whatever they want>>734213769keep coping lil bro, i'll be thinking of you when i'll be blastin
>>734213885And I'll be laughing at bungie devs when more layoffs happen
>>734207351>Blast?Had>Form?Returned to>Lightning?Bottled
>>734213596Here is the current list of global top sellers. In this list, only RE9 and Crimson Desert are 'big releases,' with RE9 having just come out and CD coming out in two weeks. Mewgenics would be the next newest, and it's at #10. The others are all multiple years old, especially fucking Division 2 at #8. So no, there aren't any 'big releases' that show how good Marathon is doing. The fact alone that CS2 is already back on top shows that RE9's sales peak is over.And then, when you add in the very weak engagement from the free weekend playtest, it's easy to see why anons believe the game will underperform. Like I said, Marathon is only a success if you put on horse blinders and stare blindly at the global top sellers chart while also refusing to understand how that chart actually works.
>>734207351what's with the forced/artificial war between this game and arc raiders?
>>734214068>askchlly being in top 3 sellers globally is NOT good because umm uhh old gamesare you retarded? genuine question
>>734207351what's woke about Marathon. Why do you care so hard about some random ass game of failing?
>>734214257>refuses to understand how the top seller charts work because it damages his narrativeI can only lead you to water, shill-kun. I cannot make you drink.>>734214368>what's wokeI don't know why you idiots keep asking this, because the answer has been the same:>androgynous they/them robots with 'diverse' faces represented (no white guys)>game is made by one of the most woke studios in gamedev (Bungie)Initial woke content is present in the above, with future woke undoubtedly coming because it's Bungie. (I'd post the shitty pic of Destiny's Vader skin with the trans pride color scheme if I had it.)>why do you care so hardIt's a treasured past time on /v/ to laugh at companies failing because of their hubris, and this is no exception.
>>734214257
>>734214604Whatever happened to the steam deck?
>>734214681Still in the top #25 global sellers, even with AI raping everyone looking for PC parts.
>>734214753Who cares, dragon age was #5 two years ago!
>>734214968Actually, Veilguard hit #1 in the charts for a while. Marathon shills don't like it when you bring that up, though. So be sure to never let them forget it, just like the art theft scandal.
>>734215117Some are saying Marathon has actually changed the narrative after a few speedbumps along the wat
>>734207351Top positions are more often then not paid advertising spots. A quick look at the player count proves this.
>>734214368Open wide
>>734215229>perception really changed about Marathon!This is one of the half dozen bizarre marketing lines the shills have in their script, and it's entirely untrue. The marathon perception was dominated largely by indifference (normalfags forgot about this shit a week after it got announced), then by the art scandal (but still mostly indifference), then by anons circling the game like vultures because they can smell a flop coming and want another hit of that Concord heroin. Too bad for them the flop is going to be closer to weed with a little bit of coke sprinkled in.
>>734215229>>734215416Imagine how different the discourse would be if they didnt release that dogshit first trailer and released that horror esque second trailer for the reveal.

>>734215929I think the perception would still be the same because the underlying issue is that it's an extraction live service game nobody wanted. Trailers are just a way to put different coats of lipstick on a pig.
