Even if they started making the best MMO ever today, it would still be a decade before we could play it if they did it right.
Hyped up new games always have huge numbers on Twitch on launch day. I mean, I know you’re just trolling but still. At least put some effort into it.
In this current gaming environment can only wish them luck and not a swift death like Wildstar.
All those viewers! The game is so good you don’t even want to play it!
The game is okay, but the combat is hot garbage. Press shift to roll, ugh hate it already.
If by “viewers” you meant “subscribers”, that’s a healthy amount, but keep in mind, the thing about New World is that it’s new. Tell me how many people are watching after a week or so, as players are meticulously scrounging for parts to improve their weapons, or spending hours crafting, or doing the things besides combat that have to be done in an MMO.
Also, I have popcorn ready while I read about what it will be like on launch day, with everyone in the same starting areas.
Humans being the only playable race just seems so boring to me, I probably won’t try it out.
Haha yeah right
I’ve looked at new world. Looks fun but has long way to go till competes with wow. Also every big MMO/ new game has huge viewer influx for a month. I’ll probably eventually check it out but not in a rush.
I didn’t think this was trolling, I took this as “Will Blizzard change their design philosophy to keep their product lucrative?” But, I guess when your a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
That’s nice of you. I finally got around to looking it up and it seems heavily focused on PVP and end content. Yes?
To be fair, Minecraft is sitting at 446k viewers and a majority of that is due to a few streamers. So the question comes to are people watching for the game or the streamer? This is why viewership on Twitch isn’t the only metric you can rely on; when Shadowlands launched, it was at the top of Twitch as well. Now you’re comparing a game that has been out for nearly a year to one just launching today.
I’m not saying WoW isn’t in trouble or Shadowlands is good, but basing it all solely on views isn’t the best way to go about it.
Ahh, trolling again…
Anyway, they don’t need to respond.
And twitch trolls really put too much weight behind twitch viewership.
Yep. From what I’ve read PvP is the main focus but players can opt out of it. But with 3 factions to pick from though there’s bound to be imbalances popping up as its shiny new game status attracts
people.
I think the fact that the OP is pretty much the only one bringing it up, compared to the FFXIV festival in August, says a lot. There’s a niche out there who are into it, but it doesn’t seem very widespread.
I’m not at all interested in New World but competition is a good thing. So I hope they do actually compete.
So, New World had a 707K player peak on Steam before dropping back down. I’m not sure if that is good with the multiple betas and all of the recent PR. Really, that is only 400K-500K increase from the beta numbers
can you quit with posts like this?
if you don’t like this stuff, go play ff or nw.
this is fun for me. if you get rid of it I wont be happy.
no
Looks to be more people watching than playing. I wonder if that has anything to do with that 45% mixed review it has on Steam. Seems a little rough around the edges there.
We have been through these so called wow killers before and it ended being nothing. I expect New World will have a big rush at first (heck I want to play it) but it remains to be seen if it will last more than a year.
I don’t think Blizzard can do anything to ever appease you, OP. You’ve clearly got a chip on your shoulder and an axe to grind, to put two cliches together. I’ve told you this in previous threads but here goes again. Your obsession with this game despite your hatred towards it and the team who create it isn’t healthy.
