COD ends year on a high

02/Jan/2017

As predicted last week, Activision top the final week of the year and take a fourth consecutive No1 thanks to ‘Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’.

 

There’s not much movement within the chasing pack: EA’s ‘FIFA 17’ remains at No2, EA’s ‘Battlefield 1’ remains at No3 and Rockstar/Take 2 end the year on a high by climbing 1 place to No4 with ‘Grand Theft Auto V’. GTA V was last seen as high as No4 some 12 weeks ago and has also been within the Top 4 for 12 weeks in 2016. Ubisoft drop one place to No5 with ‘WatchDogs 2’, 2K/Take 2 remain at No6 with ‘Mafia III’ and 505 Games’ ‘Rocket League’ climbs 5 places to No 7. Sony re-enter the Top 10 at No8, climbing 18 places with ‘Uncharted 4’ – partly due to solus software price promotion across retail, partly due to promotional activity on the Official PS4 500GB with Uncharted 4, which this week accounts for 17% of PS4 hardware compared to just 6% of PS4’s sold last week (average price on this SKU has dropped from around £218 in week 51 to £198 in week 52).

FFXV is already down to 16th? It's barely been a month.

I wonder who this game appeals to at all. The art style is horrible.

I think that the art style is horrible. It doesn't appeal to me in any way. It's trying to look "japanese" combined with western and realistic looking elements. It somehow reminds me of FF8 which I also really disliked for what it looked like - gladly, they also did FF9.

I don`t really see any `Japanese` look to it, it`s just a realistic art style. Which is probably the most popular art style too. Plus I love it, loved it in FF8 and still love it now

I mean how the characters look - it is somehow a japanese way to "model" characters and I don't like that at all.
