You find more players online in a multiplayer only game than in a game that is mainly known for its singleplayer and whose multiplayer is regarded more as a secret tip... impressive.


yeah this is a massive failure when you compare it to the hype it got. As people have said it's half a game. These guys made COD4 and MW2. You'd think they would have come up with a half decent single player. 

While TLOU may be single player focused the online is very active. I complete the 14 weeks for both factions so I've played the online a lot. 99% of the games I played were full.

For what Titanfall is, especially for what it was supposed to be you can much easier call its online "dead". MS, the media and people like you hyped the shit out of this game like it was going to be some kind of revelation and now you have how many people still actually playing it? A couple thousand? Kinda pathetic for the game that was going to revolutionize multiplayer shooters.

Regarding TLOU, I can't really find any complaints on the net about the player count, so you might have just had bad luck anyway.

And yes. Plenty of people who have this on xbox has compained about the small community playing a very multiplayer focused game. FodFather was the latest and he said it yesterday (I've no exctly gone searching lol). He saud there were 3-4k playing at any time. That is shocking bad for a game dubbed the COD killer and the next Gears of War. The hype was so big even I believe it. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

the Last of US digital sales are also huge.


Titanfall was on sale for $10, and the Deleuxe Edition was $12.50. The game had to sell huge with those discounts.


i'm sure it did but the fact the game was so cheap tells you the sales had dried up and the community badly needed a boost. Titanfall was the most bundled Xbox game before Unity & Black flag bundle released. It's not fair to say that the bundle has helped the TLOU and not Titanfall. Also look at the ratings on the various PSN stores. I bought it oof the EU store and can see a shit load of people bought it digital. (hundreds of thousands).

Sony has been bundling TLOU this whole year since its launch. It has been the #1 excuse to price hike the PS4 to $450 where I live (even though the game profited long ago and thus is just meant to pad PS4 production costs).

Nothing wrong with mass bundling though, but I do take issue when you compare such a circumstance to a non-mass bundled game like Titanfall.

(Yes Titanfall was mass bundled....in March. But certainly not much for the 2nd half of this year)

 

Where were you back in march? besides the only reason why this game is not mass bundled anymore is because it didn't worked as MS expected.

People(including me) were expecting huge hardware boost with titanfall bundles that didn't happen.

I said my brackets so that comments like yours wouldn't be typed. You merely said what we all know all ready. Just saying 1 month of a mass bundle is not like a mass bundle year-round, especially during the holidays.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Titanfall's lack of campaign will only really appeal to countries who have access to and love online multiplayer. There are many countries where internet is not a household item so that game won't really have the appeal as Last of Us. That being said, Titanfall has a more appealing online component than Last of Us so higher sales will be in countries like US and UK.

I say the Last of Us takes it just because it is a remastered (upgraded) version over its previous console's counterpart while Titanfall is the same game on both.

Thanks! It is impressive considering the other game is the one whose online is described as "dead" in this thread.

The more you know.

For what Titanfall is, especially for what it was supposed to be you can much easier call its online "dead". MS, the media and people like you hyped the shit out of this game like it was going to be some kind of revelation and now you have how many people still actually playing it? A couple thousand?

Well you can shift the goal posts and make all the excuses you want, it doesn't change facts from facts. Also you can try to qualify or dress up the "dead" part all you want, but if you can log onto the game and easily find full matches then it's the exact opposite of dead.

And I already said LoUR might be more popular in other times of the day than when I played, thanks (and to be fair, TF is too). But it's not "bad luck" when it happens any time I log on in that time frame :)

So ludicrouspeed wasn't expecting the game of the generation to outsell the undeserving port?

Why do sales matter? A lot of people here claim Last of Us was GOTG last gen but it got outsold by:

MK Wii
NSMB Wii
GTA V
Halo 3
Pretty much every CoD after MW
A slew of other titles

:)

Besides CoD none of these games were dubbed unworthy, trash, cashgrab, rehash, idiotic buy or undeserving of release.

 

But I asked how many predicted the gotg would be outsold by filth TLOUR. I remember people having quite high expectations for TF and saying TLOUR would bomb.

 

And it is holidays so sales matter, remember?

not to mention halo 3 and most of the call of duty games have very comparable sales to the last of us (with the last of us having approaching 11million in sales

I've played TLOU a lot and the only time I ever had a game not full was when I was experiencing connection issues.

What does any of that have to do with anything I have said, or this thread in general? Careful not to trip while backpedaling.

Great games selling a gotg is one thing (and in general all the games you listed are great besides maybe CoD). While TLOUR with as much negative press and people calling it unworthy is a different situation. The Point being games dubbed trash aren't expected to outsell game dubbed gotg.

Well, you didn't. You asked in a sarcastic manner if I wasn't expecting the "game of the generation" to outsell "something negative" LoUR. Nothing about "how many". And why do I care about the expectations "people" had about either game? I already posted a link showing what mine were, months before LoUR launched. You know this, you named me in your post.

Idk, maybe call out one of those "people"? Hope that helps.

You understood it was sarcastic by yourself because I wasn't. And my question was for people in general because it was the common expectation before launch of the savior.

DonFerrari said:

Not in the context you used it, no it doesn't matter. Implying TF should outsell LoU because it's the "game of the generation". As I said, LoU on PS3 proves sales are irrelevant there. Anything else?
8 million in sales is hardly irrelevant. Plus I never said sales = quality, just that a lot of people expected gotg > undeserving remaster. Matter of fact, how many remasters outsold the gotg of a gen?

i use gotg as the best game of a gen, some would use as the game that defined the gen (cod would be a serious contender with GTA for gen 7), how do you use it?

 

And I asked you namely because you said many expected TLOUR to outsell TF. But I would say that was after TF had weak numbers. Because the hype level of x1 fans were for it selling quite stronger and If TLOUR was announced before TF release even less people would say TF would be outsold by it during hype days.

Don in fairness it's not like it was just X1 fans who would have predicted Titanfall to win this battle. The hype it got ade it sound like it would sell 5/6 million first year. Obviously it's been a massive disappointment in terms of the sales it got. They are not bad but certainly nowhere near what most people expected.

Meanwhile TLOUR is going to sell more lifetime and who would have expected that! It's good to see though because a complete game like TLOU deserves sales more than a game which was released with a rushed multiplayer and an excuse of a campaign.
