For Honor - most played fighting game of all-times according to SteamCharts | Forums

[MassiveD.]

I wish to thank CitizenPuddi for taking his time to do the following research, and ultimately debunking cry'ny-whin'ey FH is doomed baby threads


Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
231 playing currently
430 24-hour peak
1,706 all-time peak

Street Fighter V
1,569 playing currently
1,678 24-hour peak
13,807 all-time peak

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2
1,188 playing currently
1,367 24-hour peak
13,570 all-time peak

Mortal Kombat X
962 playing currently
1,187 24-hour peak
13,649 all-time peak

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
1,175 playing currently
1,487 24-hour peak
23,094 all-time peak

For Honor
8,397 playing currently
8,822 24-hour peak
45,923 all-time peak


For more context, and explanation of the statistics in my own summary:


If you want to compare other games to FH, how about Street Fighter? How about Mortal Kombat? How about Star Craft 2?

All of these games are not main-stream games that are NOT being played by milions of players, infact they are niche and have tiny dedicated player basis, simply because the games are way too hard for your avarage player, and FH slips directly between Street Fighter and SC2.

Alot of casuals stay away from these games because they are too afraid of being shreked by 400 APM Koreans, and FH fits all of the above criteria.

The only way to really attract the normies, is to give them more advanced PVE scene (like dungeon raiding, and fighting bosses), which is not out of the question, might even be fun if implemented well.

Other than that , forget about it, no matter how much you balance the game, if you are not that good of it and can't hold your own, 400 APM Koreans will trash your will to live and make you rage quit eventualy.

And that is exactly what happeend to the population my dudes, in the beta the player scene was not that diverse, so you did not meet super pros that often, everybody was good, and got their hopes up thinking that they will continue to be good, a fantasy that got immediately smashed when Street Fighter and Dark Souls multiplayer scene switched over to FH shreking normies left and right, sending them into the furious rage on the forums trying to blame lag, and overpowered characters, and everything else but not them, because that would be unthinkable.



Also we just cought a dude straight up lying, trying to get a refund because poor him, being plagued by "connection".

Criminals attempting refund fraus, dont you believe them

Amen...
Were pretty good in the Beta, got my *** kicked on my first match since release... however, as a lvl 5 Lawbringer vs rep 6 Warden, the odds were not exacly in my favour. Now, X amount of hours later I can hold my own against most characters.
There's definitely balance issues though.

Balance issues are actually fine, a living, breathing game will always need things to tweek, and meta to balance, thats why Star Craft is still being tweeked and updated monthly even tho it came out a thousand years ago

Your entire post is invalid. Street Fight 4 has sold 3 million f*cking copies. It is amongst the most played fighting games OF ALL TIME and take a look at it's steamchart.

What does that tell you?

You can see player trends on steam as far as population decrease and increase goes but, it does not tell you how a game is popular in it's entirety. Steam is simply not reliable for that.



eidt* Oh and... hhuh... DEBUNKED?
