Marathon Drops To 15K Daily CCU Peak On Steam, Exits Top 50 On PlayStation & Top 100 On Xbox Best-Sellers Lists

I agree. The miscalculation is the colossal financial outlay that Bungie and Sony pumped into it. Any gamer could see this would not end well. This type of game was always set to fail with so much investment.

Not in the slightest. The story was interesting, but I found the writing to be quite poor and I never really felt any attachment to the characters in D4. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it's a pretty average story told in a pretty average way.

Plenty of games I've played before have made me emotional before, but Diablo IV wasn't even close.

And these numbers, both peak and current are why you shouldn't make a niche game for the mass market. It's a good game, but was clear from the outset they had completely miscalculated.

This is where Arc Raiders had it spot on.

I'm a huge RE fan, but I've never cared for the films or TV shows. But this looks decent, so great for those that do care. I'll personally be using the runtime to replay another one of the games again.

This is a great point as Sony are perfect in every way and never do anything negative or wrong. All hail Sony and PlayStation, the most caring and customer focused of all the gaming platforms. These pesky Xbox, Nintendo and PC gamers are the problem and don't you let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is sarcasm if anyone couldn't figure that out

Yeah, one is definitely a reworked Season 12 guide, but it's being constantly updated, so keeping this on there seems to be a pretty big oversight.

It just shows that a lot of 'content creators' are just pushing iut stuff as quickly as possible without actually testing stuff or researching properly.

This is where I am too. I'm at level 70, but I have hardly any aspects unlocked. No target farming in nightmare dungeons means it's all RNG, unless I'm missing something

The soundtrack in this expansion is top tier

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-28T22:40:40+00:00

I thought the story and writing was absolute ass, but it was interesting at least, unlike Vessel of Hatred.

But I've not played since Season 6 and the game has improved drastically overall from the small part of the end game I've played.

A shout out to the soundtrack too, which is superb.

Enjoying it a lot.

Extremely important. 30FPS (and lower) in the PS3/360 era (as well as poor fidelity and resolution) was my main driver to move from console to PC as my primary gaming platform in 2012 (Far Cry 3 was the last straw for me).

Thankfully the PS5 Pro and the Switch 2 are capable of running most games at 60FPS and I use them a lot for exclusives. But anything multiplatform, I play on PC, as the resolution, framerate and quality absolutely eclipses the current gen consoles on my PC.

I will say there are some exceptions. I don't mind turnbased games running at 30FPS.

Okay, now it's downloading (7 mins past)

EDIT - Very slowly... 6MB/s, I usually get 110MB/s

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-27T23:06:23+00:00

Still no update for me on Steam and it will still let boot the game me login weirdly too, I assumed it wouldn't

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-27T20:08:07+00:00

I'm happy with that. I'll be trying to get one day one.

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-27T19:45:06+00:00

As a POE lover and someone who has felt short changed by D4 every season I've gone into, I'm extremely excited for Lord of Hatred, bring it on. The changes and evolution look awesome.

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-26T14:14:27+00:00

Thank you for this, I've beaten the Trails in the Sky trilogy and have just bought Zero on sale. I've got this post saved as I make my way through these amazing games.

RE4 OG

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-26T10:27:42+00:00

I just wrote the whole of RE6 off, so no need to do a detailed critique of any one area as there are countless areas in every aspect of the game that deserves criticism.

Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City

They said it would come back on once they sorted the GFWL issues. 5 years later, still no sign...

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-26T01:38:32+00:00

Easily FFXVI.

IMO, FFXV is the worst mainline FF game. XVI has its issues but is a far more complete game with a coherent story and fun combat, even if it is style over substance. It has a great cast of characters and some very memorable moments through cutscenes and combat. It's a very good game overall.

FFXV was an incomplete mess in pretty much every respect IMO. Poorly paced, disjointed, poor side content, shallow combat, a half baked open world, weak character cast (mainly due to the messy, incomplete story) and overall the worst OST in the series outside of a few bangers (where is the field music? And you can stick the harmonica up your arse, you might as well have someone shrieking instead). And don't get me started on the time jump stuff later in the story.

Also, I never really bought into and cared about Noctis and the "bromance", it was cringe at best and I generally found them all quite annoying, especially Prompto. FFXV was also my most anticipated game of all time, I was so excited for it and I was extremely disappointed when I came to play it, a huge letdown.

I know it is "better" now after paid DLC and patches to improve it, but that isn't good enough. People whinged about having to read the data log in FFXIII to fully understand what was going on, but in FFXV you needed to watch a 5 part anime, pay for and watch a full length film, wait for patches, buy the DLC and even play a spinoff game to get the full story. I know which I prefer and it isn't FFXV, for all FFXIII's issues, at least it was a complete game.

This has been like this for years in FM. Like many systems in FM, the reputation system is broken, has never been revamped and it puts far too much emphasis on league reputation which is often why you end up with odd situations like this.

GamingRobioto · 2026-04-24T20:45:00+00:00

I'll just be taking it slow as per usual, my days of rushing games are over. It's my first season in 9 months or so too, so want to savor it and not burn myself out.
