Tekken games have always sold really well, from what I recall Tekken 7 was actually a significant step down in sales from how well 6 did.

thats not true!
tekken 6 sold in the first 5 month 1,15Million Units
http://www.siliconera.com/2011/05/10/tekken-6-was-namco-bandais-highest-selling-game-this-past-fiscal-year/

while tekken 7 sold in the first one or two month 1,66Million Units.
no one knows the current number not to speak from the final lifetime numbers in comparison to previous titles.
thats something we have to see in the future.

it already catched up with sfv on pc in term of units sold and there is still content coming which might lead to more sales.

Yep. Lots of dumb motherfuckers falling for the pre-order smoke-and-mirrors magic show nowadays and then regretting that shit. Sales for most games are front loaded as fuck.

Its actually kinda hard to get realistic sales data from any company out to the public.
They will always spin it to make it sound better than what it is.

SteamDB, NPD, Media Create Sales, and weekly/monthly top 10 charts for digital/physical sales in US/Europe are a good indicator. Companies have always been very tight lipped unless it put them in a good place with investors and potential investors.

We are at an interesting time where AAA gaming budgets can’t really support a 60 dollar pricetag, but gamers seem unwilling to spend more than that unless they get some really nice goodies at that price point. I have played some great small studio games on steam and have seen those same games break into the PS4 market.

Or you know, they could scale back a bit, and make a few more Sonic Manias to fund the Sonic Forces and actually take time and do it right so people don’t feel cheated spending $60 on a pretty paperweight…

No one has any problem shelling out 20-40 bucks for a well-made small budget title.

Didn’t you skip on Axiom Verge and Hyper Light Drifter?

I sure did. Because they aren’t up my alley.

I only like the Metroid style in Metroid, and select Castlevanias.

I’m trying to wrap my head around how this makes any sort of logical sense and am coming up short.

It makes perfect sense once you stop being obtuse

I’m starting to find myself in the “hate that the genre is called Metroidvania” crowd because it’s conditioned people to hold Super Metroid and SOTN on a grand pedestal and not accept that anything afterwards could possibly match or surpass them.

I don’t place Super Metroid and SOTN on a pedestal that anything else afterwards could never surpass them, but rather the Bar which other games in the genre gets measured.
I found games like Axiom Verge, Hyper Light Drifter and others meets or exceeds that mark.

So yipes admitted to be a shill on stream?

Red Dead looks as bad as the first one.

How hype

Yawn

Sonichuman · 2017-09-28 20:36:45 UTC

Gravity Rush 2 online services will end

Im seeing comments that this going to lock the platinum in the process.

Switch software is apparently doing its best since '95 according to npd analyst

To be clear NPD started tracking in 95.

Itsuno appologizes for not showing his game during tgs, says game is progressing smoothly

So the SNES Classic is already hacked, apparently the same hack for the NES Classic works on the SNES Classic.

DrellyFish · 2017-09-28 23:27:41 UTC

dude i might foreal be rip backlog. i’ve been playing these 2 korean mmos and started FF14 today. the plus side is that on the side of these games, i can work through my single player shit, and stop buying games, minus the uhh like 3 forsure day ones im getting. the downside is money still getting spent on these bundles and deals…fuck

but yeah ff14 is crack. I remember i tried playing a realm reborn on ps3 but couldn’t download it because my internet was so shitty and it was taking too long

PVL_93_RU · 2017-09-28 23:33:45 UTC

Forgive me for asking, but what kind of online services did the game have? Online coop?

Holding out hope for a PlayStation Experience announcment then

Both consoles are using roughly same software so it’s no wonder if it’s exact same hack. Makes the package much more appealing

The 3DS library keeps getting better and better… Monster Hunter Stories is so good. Take Pokémon, fuse it with Monster Hunter, and you get this masterpiece. It’s a turn-based RPG, but the MH universe translated incredibly well into the format. It even has online PvP, apparently? Godlike.

If you like MH, pick it up.

If you like Pokemon, pick it up.

If you like both, you should have it already.

If you don’t have a 3DS… WTF is wrong with you?

Does it have cats dressed like Mega Man and Dante?

Mood4food77 · 2017-09-28 23:53:23 UTC

I hope so

Phantom_Angel · 2017-09-28 23:55:03 UTC

Not that I’ve seen so far.

Edit: Yooooo this game got even more hype. If you have a flying monster and you go up against a flying boss, an air showdown can trigger where the loser gets knocked out of the sky, taking extra damage. There’s an equivalent for ground-based monsters too. I hope there’s a water one…

I felt this guy was overthinking the original Metroid II.
