>mfw the country i live in still loves WHOA bandicoot and is number 2 in sales for current year
Feels good to be a Crashfag these days

The fact that Crash is #2 is pretty good, I mean it fucking beat Fifa for god sakes.

Well bandicoots are Australian after all.

Crash is national treasure number 3 behind Mad Max and Drop Bears

Shit taste australia, even if you are retarded enough to think that Crash games were ever good you brought a disgustingly bad remake.

>being happy about being Australian

Eh, as long as George Miller and Paul Hogan are alive, I will be proud to be Australian.

Where are the switch games? I know they sold well. I work at GB and we sell a fuckload of them. This chart is clearly wrong.

Breath of the Wild is number 7.

Anyway, I never believed the nu-male shit until I walked into the JB the other day and went to the music section. Jesus.

Crash did well in Australia because the game's characters are Australian. At least crash and dingodile. Hope you brought budda... I'm making toast!

Thanks I missed it. I feel you. Too many bugmen nowadays.

I just don't get it.

I just don't understand why people who like sports play sports video games. They could go out and play those games in real life instead.

I hate them, because they let companies like EA get away with so much shit, because they purchase these shit games no matter what like a fucking drone.

>ratings board won't rate it for australia
I just want a lighthearted mario bros clone to drown out the depressing shit, is that so bad?

>wogball and apehoop in the top ten

Literally the only reason they buy it every year is so they can get the up to date teams and players. That's it. That's literally all there is to it. I fucking hate those people. What happened to the over the top sports games (You know the ones with insane power ups and creativity?)

Maybe it's raining outside. Maybe there aren't enough people for a proper match. Maybe they're at some kind of social gathering where they can't break out the old shirts vs no shirts. Maybe they don't like playing sports but enjoy sports vidya.

>Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands – Ubisoft
Still?

>FIFA 18 that high

Australians are into Soccer now? I thought they're more into Australian Football and Cricket?

Depends on the state. The southern states are more likely to enjoy AFL while the northern states are more likely to enjoy NRL. Cricket and soccer are pretty universal here.

Those are all really shit reasons to buy sports games. If it's raining then boo hoo, it's one day where they can't do sports and they'll have to do something else. And if they don't enjoy playing sports, then fuck them. The only reason to like sports is because you understand them and can reasonably participate in them. Like if I actually understood football, you could bet I'd actually like to play football. I understand how Dota 2 works, so I play Dota 2 which helps me enjoy watching esports of it.

OYYM EN ORSTRAAALIAN

STREWTH

Almost all of the animals are Australian animals.

>Crash sold well in Australia because Crash is an Australian animal

What did they mean by this?

Well, the more you know. See you guys on Sup Forums during the next WC, then.

Let's see
>Ripper roo - Kangaroo
>Koala Kong - Koala
>Pinstripe - Potoroo (Real animal)
>Tiny Tiger - Tasmanian Tiger
>Dingodile - Crocodile and Dingo

The only non-australian animal were the Kommdo brothers (Kommodo dragons)

That's dumb. Enjoying sports vidya but not wanting to play actual sports is perfectly reasonable. It's not like there's some kind of law that says you can only enjoy sports if you're willing and able to play them, that's retarded.

I like boxing. I don't want to get massive brain damage, so I don't box, but I still like the sport and I have played good boxing games.

Not him and I don't have problems with sport games in theory. I have problem with sport games as they are now, yearly installments with barely any improvement with a different line up because of seasonal draws. That shit I hate.

There's nothing wrong with being gay.

have you ever played sports in your life outside of school?

Crash kart remaster when?

That's obnoxious, but if people think team updates are worth the money I can't really stride in and tell them what not to buy.

>Straya's Crash sales are probably the reason why we get a MediEvil remaster and a CTR remaster

I guess I owe you guys my thanks.

You are correct, what I had meant more was austrailian "characters". Dingodile has an Aussie accent where as pinstripe represents more of an Italian mobster.

No, but that's because I don't understand sports. If I did, I would probably find a group of people who like to play sports. And it would be easy.

>and a CTR remaster
Nigger you can't just name drop like that and not give source.

>I like boxing.
No you don't. I bet you don't ever watch boxing matches and you're just saying that. And if you like boxing then it's way more fun to watch real people fight on television than it is to play some shitty sports games of it, especially when their is a pay 2 win model in the latest boxing game. There's no fucking excuse to support companies like EA just because you want the latest version.

>ZERO (0) Japanese games
how can an entire continent have taste this SHIT?

>Breath of the Wild
>Not japanese
???????

Australians hate everything that has slanted eyes. Blame the Chinese.

You're missing the point here. I'm not saying people should give their money to EA for the latest sports game, I'm arguing that sports games have value beyond the real world sport, and that there isn't anything wrong with liking to play sports games over participating in the actual sport.

And for the record, I used to box when I was younger. Me and my cousin went to the same gym and all. I sort of grew out of it but every now and then I'll look up some fights on youtube because I enjoy boxing as a sport.

>Australian cuisine

>Most commonly, the main sale item at a sausage sizzler is a cheap pork or beef sausage (known in Australia as a "snag"), cooked on a gas hot plate[1] and served on a single slice of white bread.[2] Tomato sauce is the most common accompaniment, and is usually available for no extra cost, though other condiments such as barbecue sauce and American mustard are regularly available. Onions cooked on the hot plate are often available, for free or at extra cost,

Aussie cuisine #1.
You cunts think fairybread is a joke but that is high quality food.

Eh the kommodo dragon is indonesian its only a stones throw away, honorary australian honestly.

Dude Crash Bandicoot is a fucking juggernaut here for some reason. I remember the first few weeks it was sold out at most retailers

Sony BTFO nintendo in every country except japan, which is the most casual country.

FUCK THE CHINESE

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

FUCK YANKEES TOO

OI OI OI

I can't believe the kiwis have better taste than us this is a travesty and an act of war

>Labour senator who was funded by the chineese gets BTFO
Fuck yeah"

del toro was 100% responsible for the hobbit

Everyone likes fifa. It is a lot of fun to play on the couch with mates.

Fuck off you melbourne poof.

>FIFA
>NBA
What the fuck? Who is buying these here?

>GTAV
This game needs to fucking go away

>Horizon Zero Dawn
This is honestly the most shocking and damning game in the list, are you sure this doesn't include bundles?

Liking fifa is not the same as liking wogball. Fifa doesn't have 10 minute delays from feigning injuries and constant diving and all the other stuff that Australians don't like about wogball. It is just fun to play against other people.

Horizon Zero Dawn isn't bundled

>laboUr
Stop. Labor's corruption never sticks, from Whitlam throwing democracy under the bus to fund his shitty policy's, mob connections in the eastern states, hell we could find that Shorten is directly funded by the CCP and he'll still win the next election

What?

you'd only need to sell a few dozen copies to get on this list desu

Why is Australian politics so shit? At least we can get meme potential from Katter

A mixture of Tall poppy syndrome and Inferiority complex

>So many fun online games
>all anyone here plays is cod, csgo, league and hearthstone/wow
Why do aussie gamers have such shit tier tastes?

What, you people don't have sausage sizzles? All it is is a little pergola set up for people to cook sandwiches on a sunday to sell to people outside Bunnings, a hardware chain.

About four bucks gets you a snag and a soft drink, great aussie brunch.

A lot of it is kids

I work with 14 year olds, and about 3/4 of 14 yr old boys talk incessantly about FIFA ultimate team packs

>Why is Australian politics so shit?

Cause Australians are dumb as fuck. Everyone just pisses and moans about any idea that's fresher than the 1980's and screams blue murder about how the chinese can't buy something, but then pitch a fit when an australian like Gina Reinhart wants to. It's nothing but jealousy and idiocy.

They grow mangoes up the top of WA, but since NT's and Queensland's ripened first and flooded the market, you know what they did? Juice 'em? Dry them? Ferment them for alcohol? Anything where they could sell that product as something other than fresh mangoes? Nah mate, nah, that requires thinking up a new idea. Since these mango growers couldn't sell their mangoes the way they were used to, instead of trying something new with them, they just bulldozed the fuckers into the ground. Instead of making any profit, even if it might have been smaller than had they wholesaled the mangoes, they decided to make no profit. That is how Australians perform in business. If they're so fucking dumb they can't even think about juicing fruit, how the fuck are they supposed to control a country?

>liking Crash more than Mario
Fucking dingos

New crash game pls.

You reek of contrarianism

>stop having fun with these games reeeeeeee, you can only have true fun with my choice of games

Do Americans legitimately think Poo Peeland is part of this country?

You know the LNP's top political donors are Chinese, right?

>Mario aint even on the list
Holy kek

More like I want to have fun with my game but there arent enough people and my friends are always trying to get me to play pubg.

I'm going to do you slowly
