ITT: /v/ predicts Silksong peak player count on Steam and how many copies will have been sold by the end of Sunday.

500k
2 million

I hope the numbers are high enough to justify a containment board and a ban from the rest of the site

oh my god people are talking about video games on /v/

I see Silkthread? I post.

Losing against bosses should show a cutscene of Hornet having her holes filled

>>719760676
>containment board
are you retarded?

>>719760676
It is ok when smelees and tendies do it, huh

>>719760149 (OP)
>/v/ predicts Silksong peak player count on Steam
a lot less than expected since it's free on gamepass

>>719760149 (OP)
At most 100k at launch, and that's a maybe.

>>719761175
Your assumption that PC users behave the same as console slaves is incorrect.
The game costs 20 dollars dude.

>>719761243
yeah i think the numbers will just increase during the weekend

>>719760676
This guy posts in every single sloppa thread.

>>719761306
Hollow Knight now I saw had a little over 75k peak. It'll be something between that and 100k opening week but will drop off dramatically like all games in the modern era do.

>>719761251
Gamepass is on PC too. It's cheaper than the cost of the game. You're retarded if you think:
1. people won't try to play this as cheaply as possible
2. people with gamepass will for some reason accept paying $20 over playing it for free

>>719761560
People are complaining that it's too cheap.
They will buy it.

>player count and copies sold
How about the actual game? Nigger sage

>>719761736
Can't really talk about the content yet, can we?
Besides, I'm fucking off from the internet to avoid spoilers.

>>719761560
there is a difference between new ip no one knows nothing about so people go on gamepass to try it and actual big releases

>>719761794
go to sleep then, it will be out in a few hours

>>719761624
>>719761816
I get paid to make these business predictions. You're retarded fat neets. Sit down.

>>719760149 (OP)
Should I actually buy it I never played Hollow Knight

>>719763024
Pirate it, and if it isn't interesting in the first area just drop it

>>719762846
>I'm a journo
LOL
LMAO

>>719760149 (OP)
on release probably a milly or close
by Sunday idk but I doubt it will be way more higher than that
This wont be a Wukong situation, with people leaving it open in China to boost numbers
100% steals higher peak from MH Wilds/Lost Ark

>>719760149 (OP)
20 and 100
I don't think people are excited for indieslop

>>719761350
Nah, that's 100% a nogames culture warrior. Sloppers aren't nearly as bitter or spiteful towards game threads.

>>719761794
You should leave now then. The OST just got posted on steam with 53 track titles visible. You're going to get spoiled sooner rather than later if you stay much longer.

>>719763219
Thanks for the heads up, I'm out. See you losers next week

>>719763183
>zoomers bought everysingle slop on mass for every fotm game release
you need to be delusional to think they wont do the same for this
and $20 price tag, meaning even THIRDIE zoomers will buy it

>>719760149 (OP)
I just picked up afterimage. I knew there was gonna be a couple metroidvania sales before tomorrow lol

>>719760149 (OP)
400k
3 million

manufactured hype

There is a fuckton of posting about this being a huge deal including indie devs lamenting the effect on release windows. But I've seen barely any natural discussion of the first game in the years since its release. Curious.

>>719761412
hollow knight was also rather unique in that it's player count over the course of 8 years continued to rise constantly
for a single player game that's pretty unusual, but functionally it means that for every person who completed the game, more than 1 person started to play it, for 8 years straight

>>719763702
>>719763931
I noticed this to. Not even a month ago you got laughed out of the fucking room when you made a Hollow Knight thread on /v/ and Silksong threads were just memes. This is not natural in the slightest.

>>719763931
yes a couple random indie devs have a level of money, power and influence not even EA or Activision have to create completely unnatural discussion involving tens of thousands of shills in a veritable legion to scour every inch of the internet
they also hired just about every single platformer-adjacent streamer and literally none of them ever broke ranks about how they were hired or accidentally leaked it

well that or it's a good game

>>719763931
I haven't seen ANY discussion of it. Only a screenshot here and there.

>>719760676

>>719764168
Who are you quoting?

>>719764168
........or there are 3rd party fanboys and shills shitting up the board like it always has been.
I'm sorry but I am just not gonna buy it...lol lmao

>>719763115
>l-lol
incel absolutely malding and seething rn
>>719764064
had any luck with the ladies in these 8 years or were you too busy monitoring stream charts?
don't answer that, it's rhetorical.

320k today, 700k+ this weekend.

>>719760149 (OP)
Biggest player count will be on Switch 1 for sure.

It probably won't, but I'd like the main menu theme to be Hornet's original theme.

>Gets pointed out for being a journal
>Instantly attack everyone
are you alright?

>>719760149 (OP)
>Not even in the top seller list
Uh oh...
Hollow Knight fans are gonna get a wake up call in 10 hours

>>719760676
>implying
Elden Ring flooded the catalog when it was released and nothing like that happened

>>719764263
they really aren't sending their best shills are they, you're supposed to say "who are they quoting" when someone greentexts, it's a callback to greentexting's original purpose, to mark quotes in a different color

now I've helped you out a bit, so help me out a bit in turn, how much are you earning per hour?

Paid marketing shills are working overtime.
Why are mods letting this obvious shilling campaign go on?

>>719760149 (OP)
86k / 630k

>>719764752
botpost

probably WAS able to register that the post was attacking a shill but accused anyway

>>719760149 (OP)
>>719760676
the game doesn't have enough fans. mots people hate it thanks to its dogshit fanbase and low quality flash art. These threads never even reach bump limit. it's 2 or 3 obnoxious niggers making them.
the same hollow knight shills who are always shitting up metroidvania threads. just ban those people.

>>719764808
If you haven't noticed, 4chan is paid for leaving this kind of shit up.
You think, for example, Dall-E AI threads are related to vidya? Or any other pretentious gacha picdump trash or THIS? While insta deleting vidya butts when it's up?
They are monitoring. And they leave those threads up. They get paid to.

>>719760149 (OP)
1 million.
5 million.

>>719765012
It actually makes sense. Instead of paying for outright ad banners, they skip gookmoot a "few bucks" and he tells the mods to let it slide.
Soon as the shit game releases, the shilling will come to a hault and the coom posting will start up.

>>719765141
How many AI tokens did you spend generating that?

Peak will top out at 375k. Screenshot this post.

>>719761736
You cant talk about the sales or player count either

>>719760149 (OP)
I honestly had more fun playing Selaco than Hollow Knight. The whole metroidvania thing wasn't appealing but I decided to give HK a try in 2019 since everyone was saying how good it is but I didn't see the appeal.

>>719765408
>hands looks fine

>>719760149 (OP)
reminder goypass + switch will have most players
steam will be maybe 25-30% of players total at best

>>719760149 (OP)
I think the boomerang head design looks fucking gay. The OG hollow knight was away better looking. Also her sprite is too fucking big for a player character.

>>719760149 (OP)
1+ million
3+ million

>>719767193
>I think the boomerang head design looks fucking gay.
Bendy would like to speak with you

Does anyone know anything about the Switch/Switch 2 release?
I know it's not playable yet, but there's not even a page for it.

>finish pantheon 5 for the first time
>see this message
lmao yeah team cherry we'll be meeting again pretty fuckin soon

I dont think it can hit 1 million

>>719760149 (OP)
2 million CCU by weekend
5 million steam copies by sunday

>I honestly had more fun playing Selaco
The fuck does Selaco have to do with Hollow Knight OR Silksong?

>>719769148
Bendy at least commits to the aesthetic. Hornet’s just rocking the “angrily aerodynamic kazoo” look and we’re supposed to take that seriously. Whole vibe is off-she’s supposed to be deadly and elegant, not look like her head got redesigned in Microsoft Paint.

>>719760676
based as fuck

>>719760149 (OP)
Whatever it'll be you'll get OH NO NO NO NO posting

>>719760149 (OP)
>the old game can't even beat Stardew Valley's player count
>the trailer didn't even get 5 million views
It's not gonna be all that big.

>>719764168
Discord servers are notorious about creating fake discussions.
