Sackboy Flops on PC, PS Fanboys Protest

[@Henrex_]

The worst part about these people is them acting like they have any semblance of authority or say in the matter. They don't ask, they demand and try to give out orders, and the wording of every single one of these is *infuriating*.

[@dirge7459]

Ponies have always felt like they are the authority on gaming since the PS2 days. Hence why they mutter tripe like "the king has returned", whenever they easily win a gen, and then when they don't get that W handed to them on a silver platter they go completely apeshit and crap over every other platform. Possibly the most ungrateful lot of fanboys I have ever seen on consoles, with Nintendo fanboys being a close 2nd (Since they loathe emulation and also vie for exclusivity shit).

I ended up buying Sackboy and at tye perfect time too. My little nieces and nephew came by got Halloween and I hooked up 4 controllers to the pc and we had a ball lol. They've added ray traced ambiance occlusion, shadows and ray traced reflections to Sackboy on pc and its demanding.

[@ge5510]

Low sales but 90% positive reviews. I personally will get it when it drops price and I assume a fair amount of people are on the same boat

[@raysandrarexxia941]

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW: Sackboy has no create mode, the thing that made the LittleBigPlanet series famous.

[@M4TTYN]

They take any crumb of "oh so PC isn't doing so hot" and then they go simping for that corporation! their so weird.

[@Wesmoen]

It's really funny. Sony owns the company who did the PS4 version of the Uncharted trilogy. They do have the source code; They do own the manpower; They could give the job to another port another company...... But for some reason, they went with Uncharted 4 and DLC.... U4 who refers quite a lot to older Uncharted games.... WTF Sony?

[@dh8203]

Didn't know that Sackboy launched on PC, but at $60, seriously!? Even if it was the slowest game launch month of the year, at that price it's gonna bomb.

[@Wesmoen]

To me, $30 to $40 was the sweet spot. Especially for a port.

[@Freelancer837]

Exactly. This is actually a big one I was excited to see come to PC, but at $60? Fuck off. This game is two years old. It was the same shit as when Spider-Man did the same shit not long ago, excep tthat was $60 for a 4 year old game.

[@Torbulous]

It also launched with Unreal Engine's infamous shader lag on PC that Epic does nothing about... so that's fun. Who ever was in charge of porting the game should have done something about that. It's not an unsolvable problem.

[@revmaillet]

with over 50k games we have access too... you gotta get our attention if you really want sales.

[@skull7083]

The funny thing is I knew about it coming to pc, yet I still never heard it released until I saw someone saying it flopped

[@annegrey6447]

Since this wasn’t a great seller at launch why should the PC port sell like hotcakes? Every time I think fanboys can’t make less sense Joe shows me otherwise. 🤦‍♀️

[@semtaxx1297]

Personally, I'm more than okay to have sackboy on pc and actually think that this is a good thing for the franchise, sadly we have Saba instead of any lbp.

[@annegrey6447]

@@semtaxx1297 From what I’ve heard about the series I would have liked that better as well.

[@bartibit]

I'm actually more exited for this release than Uncharted 4 on PC. I'm not joking.

[@Loopylocokiller]

I don’t blame you. Uncharted is mid af.

[@InternetPeopleAreNotReal]

It baffles me that Sony hasn't ported Blooborne yet. That game would sell millions in a week.

[@Schmoseph]

I heard that the game has spaghetti code, which is preventing FromSoft from being able to port it easily. It didn't even get ps4 pro enhancements.

[@InternetPeopleAreNotReal]

@@Schmoseph According to Lance McDonald, the person behind the 60FPS patch, the code is no different than FROM's other code. So as far as i can tell, there is no logical reason to no port it.

[@Schmoseph]

@@InternetPeopleAreNotReal If that's the case, then keeping it on PS4 is probably only slightly driving up PS5 sales at this point.

[@InternetPeopleAreNotReal]

@@Schmoseph Even still, if someone who plays on PC really really wanted to play Bloodborne, it would make sense to go with the cheaper route to play it since there are no enhancements for the game on PS5. Spending $10 on the game and about $150 dollars on a PS4 is way more palatable than $500. And even still again, PC players are patient and would rather wait than spend money on something they in the end don't want.

[@iceagepenguinrace9788]

Sony fanboys will any find excuse for Sony to stop doing PC ports it's honestly pretty pathetic.

[@dominictrofa4156]

I knew Sackboy was coming to PC, but I agree that the lack of marketing did hurt it and you can't blame people for not knowing about the release if the advertising is nonexistent.

[@tmapes1989]

I had no idea!!! Steam didn't promote it well either!!!

[@Johnnyb167]

I've been wanting Sackboy on pc for a while now. Yes, I didn't even know about it until I saw this video. I'm glad it's finally here.

[@SDK2K9]

I wonder if these fanboys will be singing a different tune once Mile Morales comes out on PC this month.

[@TerraWare]

What was Sony thinking launching 3 games back to back lol. I ain't complaining personally, I got Uncharted and Sackboy and will get MM but most people don't buy games back to back.

[@ifwilly]

Shitboy has a shit launch due to poor planing -Stewie Clip- “your poor planning doesn’t accommodate an emergency for me”

[@Jaynyina]

keep in mind that steam isn't the only platform the exclusives are released on. I primarily buy from the epic store because their prices are usually 10 dollars cheaper in my region

[@ericbazinga]

Uncharted and Persona 5 Royal were actually released on the same day, a week before Sackboy.

[@matthewhardwick8208]

PlayStation themselves took the time to tweet Infinity Ward to congratulate the MW2 launch. Don't even care about Sackboy 😮😭

[@krugerofcause9048]

Pretending that anyone played Sack Boy on the console either.

[@The8bitbeard]

I'm sure Sackboy is a fine game. I just don't care, and I especially don't care at $60. My favorite part of LBP on PS3 was the building tools anyway. How about a PC release of Dreams? I would buy the hell out of that. I would probably even pay the $70 that some companies say is the new price of games.

[@korno96]

Wait wait… it’s just uncharted 4?? Thats stupid. I thought it was the entire collection. Like… they’ve already ported 1-3 to ps4… it can easily be ported to pc.

[@pehdrew]

I had a hard time paying attention to what you were saying because of the good gameplay! Great video! Sackboy will sell more when it gets a price cut!

[@dustojnikhummer]

Sackboy launched??

[@EnlightenAlchemist]

I had no idea this even happened.

[@junglezone7323]

I feel like the reason Sackboy got any marketing push on the ps5 was cuz it was one of the launch window titles. If it came out recently, no one would've cared tbh. Hell out of all of Sony's games, Sackboy is the one that consistently goes half off on sales while others get like a 10 dollar shave-off

[@LucasKidd0325]

I miss Shawn Layden as CEO.

[@danramirez8553]

I've never played any of the Little Big planet games, watching this video made me genuinely curious about what this game is aboutm

[@semtaxx1297]

It's a sandbox game but sackboy a big adventure is just a platformer game. Which made the fan mad and I understand since this community have one of the most creative players.

[@slashinghades7347]

LBP2 was great back in the day. Sad that Sony doesn't care about the IP aside from this one spin off.

[@R4venloll]

This comment is towards that guy, who said that they can't put LBP1-3 on pc because of servers, Well, the servers are closed for that games BECAUSE THEY WERE ON PS3. Sony doesn't let updating games on PS3 (and PSVita) no longer, but on pc, they have the freedom to update the game whenever they want Honestly, I think Sumo should make LBP4 and release it on ps5 and pc

[@Anthonyelmio2]

I played and loved all the LittleBigPlanet games but the 3rd one was a very buggy game that crashed most of the time so it killed my motivation to play Sackboy, and for this one I saw it on Greenmangaming and that's it but had zero interest in it

[@jeffreywho]

Here’s my wishlist for PlayStation games into PC: 1. Twisted metal 2. Ratchet & clank 3. Dax and dexter 4. Last of us 1 and 2 5. Until dawn 6. “Infamous”series and second son 7. Kill zone shadow fall 8. Medievil 9. Ghost of Tsushima 10. Blood borne

[@TheCudder4life]

Haters gonna hate. Sackboy is a really fun game despite a bad release window.

[@tmapes1989]

Glad it's a fun game, but with no create mode, a $60 price point, and no marketing, it's no surprise it didn't sell well!!! I will probably pick it up on a Steam sale!!!

[@firesparks4761]

Idk if sackboy is triple A he seems more like an indie character than anything else

[@justanegsfan]

wait the run sackboy run game flopped? im not surprised if thats what ur talking about. im a PlayStation player but im not a fanboy. the original littlebigplanet games are legendary tho. just had to say my piece but idk wtf going on

[@jinnybeats]

It's funny because I heard about sony games coming to pc and have been excited to play god of war and horizon but I still thought the ports were in development lmao.

[@dirge7459]

The reason why I haven't bought any of Sony's games on PC save for HZF and Days Gone is because of their higher pricing. Like if GoW/Spider-Man came out with say a £35-40 price tag I'd buy those quickly af, but because they are asking for £50-60 it's a "wait a year and buy at a discount", meaning they'll just get less money from me, if any at all. Publishers need to stop trying to tag along with Square Enix/Ubisoft/Sony, in thinking they can just charge £70 and higher on PC and expecting to sell a crap ton. Just look at Capcom's sales on PC, they currently make 50% of their profits from PC, and the majority of their games aren't priced at a stupid £60-70 range.

[@swagatamukherjee6155]

Wait sacboy launched ?

[@music8419]

Oh great.. A game that whole pc community waits "bloodb..." i mean.. "sack boy"

[@GamerdaXtremz]

5:37 Sony should just port UNCHARTED The Nathan Drake Collection from PS4...

[@proyashnarayanchoudhury2567]

I played the uncharted collection on pc and even though I didn't like Sony porting the 1st 3 games, still had a blast playing. I will see if I can play sackboy. But aside from that, I reason I assume why sackboy ( and uncharted to some extent) didn't do well on PC is also cuz Sony right now is mostly focused on promoting God of war ragnarok which is due to release on ps5 and 4 on November 9th. Their marketing is focused on these game which they started strategically on September of this year. I mean look at Sony putting out promo videos of God of war ragnarok and the pc ports on the on there hand between the last week's of October and 1st week of November

[@Wesmoen]

I mean, it's a new entry vs older one. Of course, the newer one will get the massive billboards. But you can't tell me they couldn't grab an intern or junior marketeer to promote the older games through the socials and press?

[@proyashnarayanchoudhury2567]

@@Wesmoen exactly, bro. Fr

[@awolsam]

I can confirm I had no idea this was even coming to PC, or that it has already been released. Also not really interested either, I would rather have a Wipeout or The Last of Us game.. Or even better Days Gone 2, loved the first game on PC :D

[@noname-mu6kn]

Us pc users should stop making console games

[@GloriousKev]

In fairness to Sony these are excellent ports. I did port reviews of both games on my channel. Both run amazingly.

[@anthonybrownlee205]

I love little big planet but I didn’t know it released on pc dang guess I’ll wait for a sale while I play cod 😂

[@Mojomanultra]

Sony: you mean we can get more money if our games aren't exclusives. Gamer: yes

[@tmapes1989]

SONY knows, the ponys don't!!!

[@HandicappedMind]

first i heard... not that i would have cared otherwise

[@S0ul_]

i think its 60 cause its recent, so yeah that

[@mystic2145]

I think uncharted nathan drake collection will get a remake

[@All-kh6vi]

A game about a walking testicle is not for me.

[@semtaxx1297]

At this point I think Sony just want littlebigplanet to die, they could at least port any littlebigplanet games for at least 19,99$ with the create mode on, and the community would be back together again. But I still think that putting sackboy on pc for the first time is a first step for the future.(Also why at some point it looks like you want to spit on littlebigplanet ?)(and not any single game will be as good as lbp 2😉) Nice video I hope you, the best for your channel.

[@mcmarc5384]

Sony bringing there games to pc is great don't get me wrong but man there pc port really are disappointing like Sony need to really work harder on the pc port because spider man is great on pc but the dlss make the game lag like hell

[@sjsharp2007]

The onl yreason why I haven' tpicked up Uncharted yet is the fact thre are just a lot of games on m yradar atm that I hapen to think I'll enjo ymoer tha nUncharted. I d othink I'll enjo y Uncharted I just hav et opick and choose atm. I could see myself picking it up early next year but cretainly not likel yuntil around maybe March But as I asid it's mainl ybecause I have priorities and I have to be careful with wha tmoney I do have

[@grantfreeman5327]

Even the menu layout is terrible. In no way does it resemble lbp other than the sack boy. The levels are clearly made for kids whereas lbp especially 1 and 2 were advanced to a point. I had thousands of hours of fun on lbp because of the create mode itself.. All of the amazing levels there where most better than the story itself. I have dreams and I will say it is a huge step up in terms of ability but the nastalgia just isn't there like lbp. As for Sack boy I just deleted it. I played the first five or so levels and I got the gist of it., all it has going for it is graphics which I don't care at all for.

[@SpartanKyro]

Tbh I don't even know anyone who cares about Sackboy

[@durshurrikun150]

The game wasn't popular to being with, not to mention that it launched with a 60$ price tag. But apparently this is enough to negate all other launches of Sony games that were big successes. Really grasping at straws from the playstation peasant.

[@LivingbyHatred]

Oh my god why are console players so salty bruh 😞

[@LoganoPiano]

I’ve played sackboy on ps5 and I can say that even without the lack of marketing and the release date screwing it I can say that the game in general is bland as hell. I can say it ruined the little big planet franchise (somehow even after it died)

[@IceNKaffe]

It almost looks like pc Gamer have preferences, oh wait...

[@linkart1910]

Wtf is Sackboy?

[@objectivelyacat4862]

Yeah, port Bloodborne to pc and watch the money roll in.

[@Serge_Jackson]

Uhhh I knew about this I didn't care cause I've played the game many many many times

[@tc-tm1my]

miles comes out this month. should do better

[@rylandarrke3200]

Dude. Gamers are mostly adults now. Games made exclusively for children won't sell like crazy anymore. That's all.
