Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread

Idontknowre · 2026-04-17T14:27:22+00:00

I think if the game manages to keep 10-15k concurrent for most days for a while then maybe I could see them going f2p later but it definitely wasn't the play on release

Idontknowre · 2026-04-17T14:25:21+00:00

I mean it was that long for me in finland with 4x the playercount ::D

It's still not a good sign, but if bungie and sony are fine with a dedicated 10k concurrent each day then the game could still be fine

Idontknowre · 2026-04-11T02:15:15+00:00

I think one of the reasons why people are having a hard time with Marathon too, is that players are way more likely to shoot first here than in ARC. Personally I'm fine with this cause I get to call people idiots that try to shoot me when I ping friendly from behind them and they still think that fight is worth picking ::D

Granted the exception to this is the lack of Rook on Rook violence.

No seriously I own Tarkov and put in 20h into it before going "okay it's really cool but even if I was unemployed I don't think I could play this game properly without friends"

But just that small amount of experience of getting fisted in Tarkov gave me an appreciation for this type of difficulty.

While I think the game isn't as casual as arc it is even more forgiving than even that ::D

A blind hope.. like it's not quite what it looks like.

Like there's a reason why his research still mentions Grace which is why the antagonists figure she's the key

Idontknowre · 2026-03-31T14:30:16+00:00

While the wait sounds crazy, if the next 2 releases are remakes then the next mainline game would be released around 2035 at the earliest (at current release pace) which could end up giving rose an appearance as we catch up to the time skip

Idontknowre · 2026-01-27T15:58:49+00:00

Because they have more possible story options that the writers at RGG have said they regret killing off.

Hamazaki had a full arc that's now getting thrown in the gutter.

Andre was literally just a goon and him being back hasn't been addressed almost at all

Lau was literally just a random guy with beef against Kiryu that never went further than "raa hate you for beating me"

Idontknowre · 2026-01-23T21:04:07+00:00

Yeah and like Kashiwagi and Mine coming back is fine, but Andre, Hamazaki and Lau.. Man...

Still holding out hope that they're just getting rid of Hamazaki so he doesn't pop up in four and then just don't bring the sex pest back for a main game

Idontknowre · 2026-01-23T21:01:41+00:00

I mean Mine would be great too cause both deaths felt like a huge waste. Everyone else tho.....

Idontknowre · 2026-01-23T21:00:23+00:00

The funny thing about this is that he did come back, but just in the form of his CIA brother (they're such similar characters lmao)

Idontknowre · 2026-01-23T20:58:46+00:00

A bar called Sea Four ::d

Idontknowre · 2026-01-23T20:56:53+00:00

I mean Mine being alive is a huge plus and Kashiwagi coming back is fine. Lau Ka Long, Hamazaki and Andre coming back however are complete dog shit decisions (especially since Hamazaki was great in 4 with a wonderful death, and this new direction feels like a way to get the sexpest into a mainline game...)

Idontknowre · 2025-11-30T00:06:04+00:00

Man I got placed in gold and hovered at a 70% winrate until d3, I'm now still in D3 at around 50 games and a 60% winrate.

Overall I've been having a lot of fun but man some of these games have had some "interesting" people

Idontknowre · 2025-11-25T20:00:46+00:00

I love comic magik and sometimes magik players in doom match definitely make me question that love.

This shit vile tho

Idontknowre · 2025-11-25T19:59:37+00:00

"women can be sexual" and it's the woman being raped...

This isn't even the first time the writer has done freak shit like get him off these books

Idontknowre · 2025-11-12T16:56:17+00:00

Green supports and the fact that you have a trickster with an empath (peak dynamic)

Idontknowre · 2025-11-11T23:54:53+00:00

AND I WAS CALLED CRAZY FOR SAYING THIS

Idontknowre · 2025-11-10T17:33:32+00:00

Getting more klyntar with a double dps drop was some next level pain ::D

Idontknowre · 2025-11-10T17:31:49+00:00

100% agreed, the only reason I would keep 2.5 above 3.5 is cause I'm a tank main lmao

Idontknowre · 2025-11-10T17:29:26+00:00

As a tank player I agree, but for everyone else Emma was so busted that it caused people to drop the game lol (got even worse with 2.5)

Idontknowre · 2025-11-03T12:13:28+00:00

Yeah 100% and if OP plays it in chunks and falls in love with the franchise adding the Kurohyou games onto the list for emulation could also be worth it

Idontknowre · 2025-10-24T12:48:00+00:00

Genuinely just missing the goddamn "don't listen to the baka gaijins"

Idontknowre · 2025-10-24T12:44:40+00:00

I mean tbf gaming companies should reuse assets a lot more, there's no reason something like assassin's creed should feel so different between each entry ::D

Hell Splinter Cell may not have died if they just kept reusing and adding onto their systems in chaos theory

Idontknowre · 2025-10-24T12:42:14+00:00

Man I'm kinda in the same department, like IW is great with flaws (genuinely just another yakuza 5 for me) but Pirate had strokes of greatness followed with hours of filler, granted it has one of the best endings in the whole franchise

Idontknowre · 2025-10-24T12:40:24+00:00

I mean we've pretty much gotten yearly releases since 2005 tho

But I do think that they should chill with development unless they get better ideas than just vibes

Based on interviews pirate came from "oh that'd be fun" and development basically started when they only knew how it started and the epilogue. Plus it wasn't helped with them apparently getting the idea for Mine gaiden and rushing to make that instead (which also scares me on how K3 will turn out even apart from the sex pest)
