>Wolfenstein 2 came in at 14, and The Evil Within 2 was 13th, in the list of best-selling games in the U.S. last month. Forza Motorsport 7, Gran Turismo Sport, and Grand Theft Auto V all finished higher (NPD does point out that racing-game sales are up 43 percent year-over-year). This comes with some caveats. Bethesda doesn’t report its digital sales to NPD. The only other publisher with a top 20 game that doesn’t report digital sales is Nintendo. Full-game downloads could represent anywhere from 10 percent to 40 percent of the total copies sold. On top of that, Wolfenstein 2 only had two days on the market before the end of NPD’s reporting period.
>The biggest issue here is that every single one of these Bethesda games are well made and the exact kinds of games many people claim they want when the complain about live-services that rely on loot boxes and microtransactions. Prey and Dishonored 2 are some of the best immersive-sim action adventures ever made, and I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017. The Evil Within 2 has even won over a lot of fans. But for some reason, they just aren’t finding blockbuster-sized audiences.
evil within is not really an AAA game its an AA game like the ones made by platinum games
yet wolf 2 is below it

Who cares about sales numbers? Please kill yourself OP, I know you've been thinking about it.

>up 10,000 units from when this copy-paste thread was made a few days ago Wait until it gets a discount, no one I know paid for the previous 2 until they could get them for under $20.

Good, maybe next time they won't forget to actually make a fun game to go with all those cutscenes and UNSKIPPALBE SCRIPTED SEGMENTS

Why were the KKK and the Nazis on the same side in the game? They hated each other irl.

It's probably quite an accurate observation, assuming your field of reference is confined to mainstream big budget vidya and you choose to view every game as polemical.

Why can drumpfcucks only derive pleasure from the failure of greater people? Is it because they have no achievements of their own or is it something deeper?

When I had the shoot the dog, I was mashing LMB so I killed it as soon ad possible, then it faded to black, and then I heard the dad order me to shoot the dog.
Did they expect me to hesitate or wait for instructions? Is the game made for retards?

The progressive left only cares about one thing: Grabbing power to expand the state to the point where they can use it to kill their political opponents indiscriminately. They'll do literally anything that they think will assist them to those ends.
The arts are an important tool for indicating where the culture is going. They NEED projects like this to be massive success stories so that they can use that success as leverage.
Sebastian Turner
Thanks for my daily dose of armchair psychology, reddit.
John Anderson
Doom/the new order is a perfect example of how a game should be done.
They kept the equation simple. Just shooting and gunning/nonstop action. With a little story on the side.
Bringing a story into an ID title is going to ruin it. You have to make sure you have a fun game first before you sprinkle a story in.
It's like a cake. Warm, soft, fluffy, and delicious. that's the shooter aspect of the game. The story is just something sweet to go with it.
Wolfenstein TNO was fun because it had diverse enemies/mechs/and even cool boss fights. TNC is boring because nearly half the game is a cutscene and it forces you to play like a COD shooter instead of guns blazing like a true ID shooter.
Isaiah Moore
Fucking this. Why would I drop $80 CAD on any new game when I can wait a few months and get it for at least half that, while playing any number of other games in the meantime.
Parker Hall
The game is decent but not great. Cinematic as fuck. If it was PS4 exclusive it would be the greatest game ever made according to this shithole of a site and this cesspool of a board in particular.
Joshua Walker

Awful marketing. I'm not from the US, I don't care about US politics, yet they decided to market the game as a counter movement to current US politics.

The shooting in TNC is a huge improvenent over TNO though. Playing as a stealth game/cover shooter is actually fun and viable; as well as run and gun; and the weapons are all better. Just skip the cutscenes faggot

Then don't play it because guess what, not every game has to cater specifically to your tastes, retard. There's like fifty thousand other things you can play but LOL NO POLITICAL CRITICISM CAUSE I"M A NAZI ;w;!!!
Zachary Moore
The only way to kill the generals without triggering the alarm is by using stealth and I don't wanna play like that. Otherwise I kill one and the other one is 500 miles away so I just end up killing all the enemies anyway.
