God of War is Blowing up on Twitch
- Thread starter v_iHuGi
- Start date
Although I have no doubts this is gonna be the biiggest game in some time.. It is still release day, so of course its doing numbers on Twitch
Godness! Just have to get things squared away with clients today, and I am off to pick up the game after I close my office!
User Warned : Thread-whining.
Do we really need to have this thread literally every time a new game releases?
I mean it's a new AAA game that a bunch of popular streamers are playing ATM. It's not like it's going to be competing with Fortnite in a few weeks time for viewer count.
probably laughing while streamers are trying the God of War difficulty
I don't want to be a total twat because I love the game and I'm glad other people are loving it, but it's one of the most anticipated releases of the year and it's launched today with a bucketload of hype. It'd be more surprising if it wasn't doing well on Twitch.
"Very early in the day". Lol, this is the time when Asia, Europe and the Americas are online at the same time. Considering Asia is usually active well after midnight, high numbers overall are common for the next few hours in general.
Yep, I guess we get threads now every time an AAA game is being released.
New released AAA first-party game from a popular franchise has hundreds of thousands of people watching online? Cool.
OP
OP
More people watch games then play i think.
God of War will be played by millions but watched by many more.
Apparently yes
We will have the usual thread about "God of War interest dying down" when another new game releases too
A Single Player GAME is doing bunkers on Twitch right now and it is still very early in the day! i say DAMN!
I don't think that should be surprising at all for one of the biggest games of the year on the day it launches. Nothing out of the ordinary.
If it maintains those numbers in a week? Sure, then it's probably worth looking into.
I don't want to be Mr. Negative over here, but are these people watching for the game, or for the streamer?
Even when things like Fortnite started to blow up, it was basically 3-4 streamers with comical amounts of viewers into the tens of thousands (who already had fan bases in similar games), then everything else doing like under 300 views.

LoL so were're gonna do the whole twitch is and isn't important metric cycle again?
Can we get a sticky telling people twitch is pretty much the hub for online interactions about this hobby and has been for a couple years now
Meh. A lot of people just don't care that much about video game stories, and watching parts of a stream here and there to see if it's a game you want to buy isn't going to spoil the experience.
Anyway, it's a new highly anticipated game, not that surprising.
Whew, thanks OP, for a moment I thought a single player movie was #1 on Twitch.
Just kidding, that's pretty good. Wonder what will be the peak for this weekend.
I find it interesting how Twitch views have become more and more important on forums; like mini sales threads in a way. It's no surprise that it's going to get the numbers, it deserves it.
Or 217k people who don't want to miss out on the conversation window, but don't have the money to spend on a day one copy...
If spoiler ruin the story, it's probably not a very good story to begin with.
This always happens when a new big AAA game releases, no suprise there but congratulations. Multiplayer community games will continue to be the most viewed like usual however.
