Literally the end of the world
Horrified by the prospect of having to sign into PSN (among other, more tangible complaints), PC gamers are having a normal one over on Steam. There, Sony Santa Monica’s sequel, God of War Ragnarok, is currently being review bombed, enduring a “mixed” user score as a result.
As reported by IGN, among more legitimate reports of lacklustre optimization and controller woes, unhappy customers frequently cited Sony’s requirement that Steam users link their accounts to PSN as the cause of their discontent. Sony makes this quite clear on the game’s Steam page, but it seems that the memory of Helldivers 2’s own PSN/PC debacle is still too fresh in some minds, and a favourite tactic is being employed.
While Sony did back down in that instance, we can’t see that happening here. This will probably mean Ragnarok will have to endure the “mixed” rating until things settle down and nature can take its rightful course. Released on PC on 20th September, Ragnarok managed a peak player count of 35,615 over the weekend, which is a significant drop from the 73,529 managed by its predecessor, God of War, when that game ventured to Steam.
Did you pick up God of War Ragnarok on PC, and if so, what do you think? Did the PSN requirement send you into a rage that would make any pantheon of gods tremble in fear? Let us know in the comments section below.
