I'm really enjoying the game and think it's way better than reviews indicate. But at the same time I get it. There's been some serious performance issues and questionable design decisions.

Worth noting is the devs have been patching damn near everyday (on PC) fixing bugs, performance and balancing stuff. There's a lot of effort and care put into the game. Just wish launch had gone better for them. Probably should've done a demo/beta weekend.

Honestly if they could have sorted out the performance issues prior to launch then they would have had a gem on their hands.

I've not had any issues on my hardware (which is expected to be fair) and it's been excellent. There are mechanics here that are genuinely unique for the souls-like genre which is to be commended.

 

[demigod]

The game is decent, no issues with my 3090 either.

 

[acm2000]

but how many refunded due to performance?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Sleeper hit of the year.

 

[ungalo]

Good. Even though i didn't buy it. Always good to know PC gamers don't care about metascore.

 

[Kurotri]

I would like to add that the source seems really dubious. Just look at the text, it reads like something ChatGPT would write. IMO should be taken with a pinch of salt.

quite probably out of 350k of that 400k do not care about graphics as well

no point of pushing ue5 unnecessarily upon people. this has to stop. most people have average hardware and clearly ue5 is not meant for the run off the mill 8-10 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, couple gens old i5/r5 rigs

same for sx and ps5 too. let this be a lost generation. not a generation that forces useless gimmick features upon people at weird resolutions

So why did CI's Stock fall then ? this is confusing

The economy works in mysterious ways.

 

[Kataploom]

Seems like a pretty good game so I'm happy it's getting success, hope the criticism helps the devs for future entries

Sleeper hit of the year.

Actually that title belongs to Armored Core VI, similar to 13 Sentinels its got really good reception and most people who played it absolutely loved the game but I feel like it getting overlooked because apparently people have some kid of allergic to mechs.

I'm someone who absolutely LOVED Elden Ring but I can safely say I enjoyed ACVI even more.

Because this is an estimate and these have proven extremely unreliable time and again but people keep posting them. It could have sold 100K for all we know.

Uncertainty is enough for stock to drop. Sony lost like 20b just because the buyout of avb shocked the investors. Its not directly linked to value or performance.

 

[Jibran#one]

400k on only steam is an awesome number so that means combining ps5 and series X its sold more than a million copies atleast

 

[DocEbok]

waiting a few patches

 

[Ogbert]

It’s shit.

 

[Blackage]

Decent numbers for a jank Dark Souls.

 

[RoboFu]

The first game was total shit so I didn’t believe for a sec this one would be any different. That, and I usually can’t stand souls wannabes .

 

[DavidGzz]

Puts the number of angry reviewers into perspective. On PC the issues aren't as wide spread as people believe. A few thousand negative reviews within a few days is nothing compared to the 400k it sold. I didn't have any issues.


It's awesome. My favorite souls like.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Decent numbers for a jank Dark Souls.

It's less jank than any Souls and their more retarded combat.

No it doesn't

 

[Danjin44]

No it doesn't

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

My condolences.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

It doesn't.
That game had some hype and didn't get review bombed from salty pc based publications because of poor performance.

Honestly I felt like the only person who was hyping for Armored Core VI was me and very few people and others didn't care because it was mecha game and didn't have "high tech graphics".

It was like 13 Senitnels before release all over again....meanwhile there were much more hype for LotF because in here people are desperate for any "Souls-like" with high tech graphics.

I don't get why people hate mechs. They're awesome! 13 Sentinels is really interesting case. People don't like VN and mechs lol.

 

[simpatico]

Anyone running this on an older CPU? I've got a i7 7700k

That’s completely mystery to me as well.

The first game was mediocre.

The sequel has some terrible but fixeable design flaws that could have made it very good.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's 1 million now!

 

[Darkkahn]

Nice, got the plat in the first one. Will play this soon.

 

[March Climber]

Honestly if they could have sorted out the performance issues prior to launch then they would have had a gem on their hands.

Thankfully games don’t expire as fast as milk, so they’ll still have a gem after everything’s patched up. If anything I can see it getting a bump in sales once it hits 39.99.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Currently sitting at a 59.48% on Steamdb.

Oof!
