What went wrong, the game is dead already

What went wrong, the game is dead already

10k players is laughable

There are 13k players on witcher 3 for comparison.

10k non-poor fags like myself

cunt.

not only do you have to have a decent pc you need some expensive headset to play basically this game since all other VR titles are shit, not hard to see its just not worth it for a lot of people i'll wait til they make the non VR version

Game is a flop, as expected. They should of sold the game for $200 to make a profi from richfagst who would of happily paid it, this is embarrassing and it's guaranteed they lost money.

low iq cope

the same hilarious argument for wasting thousands of dolars on supreme shirts.

I don't know, retard, maybe because it's the middle of the night in the western hemisphere? VR games involve a lot of movement and aren't very well-suited for late-night playing if you live in an apt or have roommates. There were 40k people playing earlier today, which is great for a VR game.

beat Saber peaked at 42k players, that's terrible for valve

Everyone already watched the ending on youtube
In a way i'm thankful to Valve, i didn't have to put myself through playing this pile of shit

Considering the limited install base it's doing just fine
>implying valve needs more money
They did this purely to put out a tester concept game to figure out what works and doesnt in VR better, they could give ducks about it being massively profitable.
In short, seethe in silence you sad sack

and once again poorfags will ruin the possibilities of gaming. this is the same crowd that can barely afford a $500 console every SEVEN YEARS.

Valve makes titles that push the industry forward. This is proof that you can make a good VR game. Don't be mad you can't afford a VR headset. The physics for a VR game make it a lot of fun, throwing a gas can and shooting it in the air, catching items you toss up at yourself. Aiming the gun is weird sometimes though, sometimes its off to the side when you want to simply aim at something else and the movement, sometimes you jump to a spot you didn't want to.

can you stop

Wow lmao

>couldn't even break 50k players
kek

The halo 3 remake had over 100k lol

They have the same development costs no matter what, if they know they have a small user base they should of sold the game for a higher RRP.

It's no surprise
Zoomers don't care about Half Life and Boomers don't care about "VR"

And HLA peaked at 42,858 earlier today, on the day of its release. Cope harder, poorfags.

There are 102k people on GTAv right now, there are 14k people on witcher 3 right now, there are 15k people on ass creed right now.

Beat saber is a low budget indi game, that this game could not better it says it all. So much for the hero to save VR.....

Yes, because VR is a relatively-small market in comparison to pancake games. Why can't you retards understand this?

Artifact's failure was writing on the wall

It's not true VR. It's a raspberry pi hooked to a small display screen with refurbished motion-capture gloves, all of which are connected to your PC.

And when did Beat Saber reach 42k simultaneous players? Was it on the day of it's release?

Ehhhh, the money isnt the only limiting factor, I could easily buy an entire set up for VR, but I dont have the space for it, my computer is set up in a small office room that doesnt have enough room for VR, on top of that I dont really like the idea of being strapped to a long cable that I cant see when I'm wearing the headset. In short the effort and set up investment is higher then the gains I would get from VR, and that's really it for me, once things get a bit more streamlined and simplified, or we go full nerve gear or some shit, I'm game as fuck for VR even if its twice the cost, but near theory

ooga booga

What now, VRbros? How do we recover from this failure? How do we cope? Personally i will be playing the cuckold simulator, that always cheers me up

The funny part about the peak of 42k is it only lasted an hour, then dropped into the abyss.

Retards buying and refunding because they didn't see the VR tag.

Most VR owners are Americans.
It is currently 11:48 PM on the west coast, and much later on the east coast.
That was a database error m8, do you really think the game had a peak playerbase of 42k when (during that same timeframe) they only had an average of ~2000 players and no sales or free weekends?

>But is the game good?

It's not even money honestly, I could buy into VR but it's just not exciting tech. The games look shit and they play shit too.

What do you honestly think it will peak at today? I would be amazed if it went above 20k.

Yeah but they dont care, that's the point, they will take the loss just get the interest in VR up alone, not to mention the feedback they get for future VR titles, and considering that the Index is sold out....again, I would say it worked.

dota's failure

Considering it's a Tuesday, probably around 40k again.

Anyone else feel like VR is a prank being played on dumb people?
Paying to run around with a bunch of geeky shit strapped to their heads? Lmao
The webms are hilarious

No way that's going to happen.

>not even 50k players
So, this is the power of a million dollar franchise.

Half Life Motion sickness

Don't see why not, most people aren't going to beat a VR game in one sitting, so chances are most people will still be playing this game even by the end of the week.

Almost everyone I've talked to has said the game makes them feel nausea, the motion sickness is terrible,

i like how you ignored everything he said

welcome to vr.

Only people new to VR would get motion sick from this game, they went full on baby hand holding with VR players this game so the only way you could get sick is if you had no prior VR experience, falling down makes you float downwards instead of actually accelerating

>$1000 VR + $1500 system to drive Index proper
>10k
I'm honestly surprised that there are ten thousand people playing it

this post reeks of sour grapes

A fool and his money are soon parted, user

>DUDE SALES LOOK SALES ON VR GAME NOT AS MUCH AS NORMALFAG EASILY ACCESSIBLE GAME DUDE LOOK IT FLOP DUDE
Aside from the obvious retardation here, why cant you fags just appreciate a game for the sake of being a cool new experience instead of screaming about fucking salesfigures? Do you seriously think for a fucking moment that Valve is going to tank because some VR game didnt compare to ass creed in sales? No? then why the fuck does it even matter, holy shit.

If one of the biggest most exciting pc game franchises can't make people play off-peak it's a disaster for the technology.

and remember, most of the main VR headsets are sold out right now due to alyx + corona

I dont have the luxury of owning a VR headset but I did watch Lirik play the game and in the 6 hours he played I didn't hear a single complaint.
Pewdiepie said in his video the teleportation walk helped him with motion sickness.
Why do I bother, no one here actually owns a fucking VR headset to begin with.

>New experience
>Gutted HL2 on a dork helmet
lmao, nice

>cool new experience instead
lol
Yeah, I too like the amazing firefights in Alyx.
Even FEAR can't match the incredible AI from Alyx.

I watched the Angry Joe video earlier, all 3 of them got motion sickness after 30 minutes play

like it or not VR install base is much lower than non-VR install base. its physically impossible for it to hit those kinds of numbers, but it doesn't mean its a flop when it has an install base thats a very high% for people who DO have VR

cope
and take that ridiculous shit off your head lmao

Valve made this because they wanted it to be a system seller, they thought they could make VR mainstream

They were wrong.

vr shills in perpetual damage control

what is there to cope? I've been enjoying VR for 2 years

What an embarrassing failure.

>VR gets announced few years back
>OH Shit I can finally play all those 3d games I own in fucking 3d
>VR releases and reality strikes at me
>only gimmick shit and only way to enjoy older games is through a 40 dollars third party program that works half of the time
At least watching porn and movies is great in VR.

this ain't damage control this is just a fact, most everyone who tries VR for the first day or two WILL get motion sickness. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it'll pass

It's a 3 hour game on an overpriced gimmick piece of technology that nobody has, of course no one is playing. I give it less than a year before a normal version of the game is released to make up lost sales and revive the Half Life fanbase.
