>"He recognizes Marvel Tokon's Steam launch "was marred by performance issues, bugs, intrusive DRM, and no Linux support." And "the Steam review score is pretty telling," Elliott continues, "at under 50% positive as I write this. It's just 19% positive among those who played under an hour, suggesting a wave of bounce-and-refund players.">"Arc has been patching hard, and many issues are already fixed, but first impressions are sticky," he concludes. "Tokon might have sold closer to 1M if the Steam stuff hadn't been such an issue. Word of mouth was cut short." Huh, it sounds like prioritizing people over the mirage of fast, infinite growth is important. Who knew.
Do analysts ever have to prove their bullshit claims?
>if the game was better it could've sold betterExcellent hindsight.
>>745306831that jobs for provalists
It's shovelware that broke even at 48k sales already. The entire fighting game community is delighted with unfinished, barely functional, less content than PS2 games slop.
>>745306760those half million numbers aren't even official, just an estimate from 'ANALysts'. Truth is the game is getting close to Discord-Fighter territory.
>>745307381According to Sony specialist this game actually sold 5 million.
THE GAME WONGO WOKE GO RICHOK NOW SHUT IT DOWN FOR NO REASON DESPITE OUR CLAIMED SUCCESS!
>>745306760No one plays on consoles thats why.
>>745306760>we blame the steam stuffWhat an odd choice of words.
>>745307381Discord fighters have like 300 players or less
>>745308374Well it's Steams fault Tokon didn't sell 5 million on Steam.
I got it on ps5 its a fucking sea of options just to play a fight I guess zoomers like eating that kind of bullshit. Like 9 splash screens just to acceses the character selection. Fuck this shit, I dont come to a fighting game to read assholes.
The game literally won't run won Linux because of the invasive DRM.
So you losers have already moved on from the performative outrage over stupid plastic waste?
>>745309867That's just how Arcsys rolls. Strive is similar. Granblue is reasonably fast though.
>>745306760>marvelous newsI thought we were getting a new senran game so I got excited but then I saw that there is a new senran game coming out and I was like fuck year but then I saw it's gacha and was mad about it then I came back here and saw it's some goyslop fightan gayme and now I'm just filled with ennui
>>745306831It's a known fact that steam reviews have a huge impact on sales and it has mixed reviews on steam so that definitely heavily impacted sales.
Street Fighter has generations of gamers starting from almost when gaming began and it hit only a million the first week. Half a million is impressive for a new IP in this genre. The only way it could have hit a million is if a sequel to Deadpool and Wolverine also released last week.
>>745308237No, they do, but just Fortnite, CoD and FIFA.
>>745306760Good. Fuck Marvel and fuck Sony.
>>745306760That's what happens when you try to capture the Marvel Rivals audience but forget to include any sexy women.
>>745306760>And no Linux support.Oh no, not the poor 5% :(((Oh the humanatee
>>745306760Guess it doesn't matter how cute the girls, if you're Sony your going to fail
I'm kinda proud of PC-mongs. At least their review system works and influences purchasing habbits. On PS5 everything feels like its highly rated and doesn't mean much of anything.
>>745306760how tf is tokon >sony's game
>>745317448They funded itYou need a Sony account to play it on PC
>>745306760Snoy did this on purpose to get people to buy a ps5.Devs should stop working with Sony that have PC versions of games.
>>745315981i did not buy the game because its arc troon
>>745306760>intrusive DRMWhat did it use? Or do they just mean the bullshit PSN requirement?
>>745306831Nah the experts agree.
>>745306760>anal says
>>745306760>check page>PSN login required>Kernel anti cheat if Sony wanted to achieve a proof that their games don't sell on PC here they have it but it's a self made issue
its a fighting game, who cares
>>745306760I am still mad about this. I was looking forward to it and they botched it. Now I don't even want it because the meta is figured out already.Biggest fuck up in a while. I am glad sony is leaving PC. Hopefully they leave the whole fucking industry and get bought by the US Government.
>>745313480Marvel is not a new IP even just in this genre and Dbfz sold 2 million on the week of it's release.
>>745306760>But it could've been 1 mil with a better PC portHow do they keep fucking up their PC ports? Steam is at least as large as playstation and Xbox now
>>745324094DBZ is a bigger seller than the average marvel game.
>>745306760fighting games (except soulcalibur) are for retarded niggers, I hope you all realize this soon
game is kinothe performance and sony bullshit is unacceptable though even in its current statethey have a lot of work left to fix this mess
>>745315981Can you post more Peni?
>>745324269Sc is quite literally one of the most for retarded niggers game of the entire genre along with tekken, mk and DoA. This casual retard board constantly gushing about how simple it is compared to even Tekken, number cases of retarded niggers playing it like that sonic fox dude and the amount of actual women that play it just like mk and tekken is proof of this.
>>745324130Intentional in order to encourage PS5 sales.
>marvelI am supposed to care about that wokieshit why?X-persons, lmao
>>745324351Nah my jap friends laughed and mocked the autocombos. Any chance at it having a jap scene died. I'm not sure who this game is for.
>>745325232The digital only gamers?Just imagine the extra plastic trash if all snoy failures of the year would have been pressed on a disc. And that in the amounts that they expected sales for them, ffs
>shitty autoplay vfx cutscene simulator competing with 10 other shitty vfx simulators that play themselves and make you watch cutscenes>yo wtf why isn't this making 10 gorillion bucks? its so HYPE...... sorry i ain't watching myself get juggled for 45 minutes just to not even participate in the game i paid for and keep running on my device
>>745319472I boughted and it's fucking atrociousDoing a QCB and getting a DP level of atrocious
>>745325347You don't know wtf you are ralking about and are spot on simultaneouslyThe juggle time in this piece of shit game is so long that it gives you enough time to get FUCKING BORED
>>745325232>muh jap friendsJaps are quite literally the most welcoming and accepting of casual friendly shit like modern controls and such. Your japanese "friends" are about as existent as the chance of arc making a pre Xrd sign game again after dbfz's and strive's success.
why do multiplayer games now keep being developed and balanced around one player being able to turn the opposing player into a spectator?Are these people retarded or are zoomers so fucked in the head that they just want to play coinflips with a combo-system-skin when you could simply cut the padding at turn each hit into an instakill?>>745325440yeah, but you know which game i was talking about? tekken 8same shitsame cutscene vfx simulator that plays itselfits all games like this now
>>745325232japan ate up dogshit like sf6 while everybody else called it what it is.
AHAHAHAHAHAThey thought this one was going to be different... Snoys of SUICIDE WATCH!! Chuds win again!BTFO'd ahahahahaHAHAHAH
if im going to lose by onetouch, don't make me wait for my opponent to finish jerking off in front of me
Apologize, Japan!
>>745325347>>745325502You clearly do not play fighting games to call the combos auto play cutscenes or to think the long combos are new or for zoomers when they literally prefer the short combo, high damage games like SF and Strive.
>>745325651No I am not brown
>>745325697You're shitposting on this board filled with shitposting browns so I doubt it.
>>745325651i playedthen i got bored of having to do the same shit all the time and never actually engaging with the game but optimizing so hard (which you are forced to do) that you're just doing flowcharts and keep your opponent guessing your 50505050s only to force more guessing without your opponent having any real chance of outplaying you because there is no skill when your whole roster is basically the equivalent of baby mode for brain rotten zoomers that are addicted to gacha and gambling hence why every game has to be a slot machine
go on youtube, watch all the super animations, watch any one of the deadpool reference compilations. saved you 60 bucks or however much this fgslop(2026) costs
>>745306760do we really need 3 misinformation threads?
>>745306831Analysts and consultants will reap the benefits if they happen but won't suffer the negative consequences from their actions.
>>745306760That will teach these nigger devs to not fuck with GAMERS
>>745306760Go back to fucking pol. It's not news. It's not numbers. Go back, stay there, shut up. And shit games don't deserve attention.
in SF you don't even play the game, you just throw loop
>>745307381>6 days agoThis game released a week ago?
>>745310781That's just how life goes.
>>745310836>It's a known fact that steam reviews have a huge impact on salesno it isn't
Another retarded sales figure claim from another retarded estimations company (Alinea). Props to them and Sensor Tower for cornering the markets with wrong estimations though.
>>745306760>a game that sold 500 000 could've sold 1 million if it sold 500 000 moreamazing journalism
>>745308515>Discord fightersI miss IRC...
>>745306760doesn't all marvel slop flop on PCs? rivals browns cope by saying it's huge on consoles, but get angry when you point out which countries primarily play on consoles
>>745306831
>>745306760You don't say...
A fight game flopped?!!? W-who could have seen this coming…
>>745313480>Marvel's new to the fighting game genre
>pc gamers don't buy gamescolor me surprised
>>745327954the only "people" who still play on console are niggerball shiteaters.
>>745328064the only "people" who still play Street Fighter are niggerball shiteaters.
It genuinely feels awful to play. It feels sluggish, the input delay sucks, combo flow sucks, cutscenes before, during and after combos like in Tekken 8. The roster also sucks because the ones I like aren't in.
>>745328673>Make only 20 character roster>promise there's an 10 year roadmap>4 characters a year>game bombs so hard there probably wont be S2lol, just lol and they chose Phoenix Cyclops instead of doing normal for reason no one knows. Phoenix Cyclops could have been $20 Legendary skin for him and Cyclops could have been on starting roster too. Everything just proves they try to cashgrab with this game.
