I applaud them for doing something different than what's currently on PS4+Xbone which are futuristic FPS. I hope this game does really well.


There are 160 games on ps4.   Only 3 futuristic fps. 

Excuse me for forgetting the / I meant FPS or Futuristic games. And of those 160 games, how many sell as well as those FPS? Yeah, Assassins Creed and Far Cry, the usuals. The point is, the variety is very low and the games that you claim aren't even big enough to make an impact. Everyone talks about CoD, Destiny, GTA. I like different and SO is so different and you can tell by the development team and their commercials just how much fun they had making the game.


What do sales have to do with anything?  The indie variety on ps4 is amazing and a lot of unique games.  Sunset is very similar to infamous with a different art style. .... It's nothing new. Nothing wrong with that totally fresh experiences are rare. 


Oh, you're counting indie games? Sales and popularity usually go hand in hand... usually, that's why I brought it up. It's not that SO is so original but the frequency of these types of games are scarce. When a game like this comes along, it shows me that the gaming development community is growing in maturity.

Game is given away for free in bundles more than retail sales. I don't think it will do great in retail but ok as i can see more people want to buy SO bundle more than buying a console and a retail copy of it if look at amazon sellers list where its listed for away.

$350 bundle or $410 for a console and game..what would you want?

This game went from being a "meh' when I first saw it to having my attention when I found I could create a character to another "meh" after the first hour of play to my reason for living. I LOVE IT!!

Hope it gets a good following. Best new IP of the gen, imo. It's like Saints Row mixed with inFamous mixed with bacon.

Everythinig is better with BACON.  No wonder I have cravings for this game and I haven't even bought it yet!



It is near the end of the end....

Its like a Knack deja vu

Why is that? Other than hoping for it do you have anything to backup your statement?


My statement is not to be taken as fact. It is simply an observation.

Hum... Mohkay you did not anwser my question fact or observation or whatever you want to call this.

What is backing up your "observation"?

 

First of all, don't assume I was hoping for something. Secondly, use proper spelling. Third, I'm not your personal google. I mean look at this site, the answer is right here.

Did u even read the conversation?  In the context of the discussion sales has zero to do with game library variety.  That's what happens when you jump in a conversation without reading or context

I know cheaper is everyone want but if gamers really want this game (or people who have console already) should have purchased more so it can appear in Amazon seller list but its not which proves that this game sales are good now just because of bundle but instead of game alone. SO bundle is limited and Microsoft dont want to give away this game for free more so they did not stock them more. This is not their first party game and its a 2nd party game made by Insomoniac who has IP rights so they need sales for this game which is not possible if they give this free in every bundle (alreay bundle is losing some money with price cut). My point is this game is not selling great(wont be) and its just doing ok.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

You cherry pick one small sentence,  the conversation changed from sales to something else. It's called context.
