fps games = no buy for me

I could understand if you don't play FPS because they make you dizzy or something like that. But if it's only that you don't like the genre, you have to play that game!

that's also not counting PC sales which was the best version of the game.

Generally speaking the rule (how accurate I don't know), is that games sell about 10x (very roughly) their peak concurrent users on steam. The top concurrent was like over 60,000. do math.



Don't get too mad, but I rented it and finished it in two days.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I looked the game up due to your repeated comments.

Then I realized those were the guys that thrashed the WiiU. They could have sold some 1000 extra copies with the WiiU version.



2 million is still a lot! I know the other two sold better but it's still an excellent game! My favourite of the three :D

Also I already got The last of us and Tomb raider. I am kind of curious for Far cry 3 but I don't really know much about the game :/

Yes, and I can understand why people is bitter with them. However, I am positive that a) THQ forced the decision on 4A Games, b) and the developer itself told that he based his comment on an early WiiU developer kit, not the final model. c) I can understand why this can be just mere PR play;

 

but that being said, 4A Games worked on inhuman conditions and their final game is a gem that passed unnoticed crushed between marketing of games such as Bioshock: Infinite and not a strong fanbase as they would have like. It is sad that when only the sequel has passed the predecesor by thousand of sales, they're happy that they're profiting. Most companies would stare and cry if their sequel ony got a thousand more sales than the other game.

 

It's not like they are Phil Fish. A lot of developers of respected companies have said bad things about other consoles in the past. These people needed the cash.

 

Regarding your copy, those 1000 extra copies would have been like a Christmas luxury gift to them. A shame they cancelled the version.

 

Check this, by the way ^^

Good, Bioshock 1 one of the most overrated games this gen, the sequel actually had better pace and level design, but nobody cares and just moan about optional multiplayer and a different dev team.

Series deserves to die with such bullshit surrounding it.

Really only around 2 million units combined for this awesome game. Are you serious. Man what are you spending your gamin money on if it is not great games like this. 

This game needs more love, please buy the game it is now just 39.99 on Amazon or at Gamestop, you can even buy it used if you purchase the Season Pass. 

While you are at it pick up:

The Last of Us

Tomb Raider now just 29.99

Far Cry 3 now just 19.99

 

Buy new games unless your buying DLC then buying used is okay.

I'll tell you, I bought Bioshock Infinite, but I would not have if it did not come with 4 other free games + $15 cash back.

I did not like Bioshock 2 and  was not going to invest anything else into that series, but it seems to be a pretty good game and I am now glad I have it.
