These people have obviously never played Destiny or Watch Dogs.

I didn't play Watch Dogs but for Destiny I just have this gif.

It is becoming a behemoth.

Does Bungie release numders/data on a monthly basis? I would like to see how many people are playing and on which system they are doing it. Monthly for obvious reasons.

They release numbers from time to time but they now include people who download and play the free trial so its misleading.

OT: Quarter to 3, enough said. The articles there are trash used for clickbait, nothing more. The National Enquirer of the gaming world.

I like how games that were borderline unplayable, maybe still are for some people, are lower on the list than a fresh new IP that attempted to do something different. The game certainly wasn't for everyone but to say it was the most disappointing of the year, little harsh.

It's the Xbone's version of Knack. Most people who played Knack, loved it. Most people who played Sunset, loved it. But if you google it, you'll find it sandwhiched somewhere between Superman 64 and E.T.

Look at Metacritic. The love for Knack and Sunset was not equal. Knack just sold well due to bundles and PS4 rush season hype. I think you're referring to Ryse which got similar reviews to Knack.

That seems a bit harsh to me..

Sunset never really seemed like an amazing game to begin with if you ask me. I don't even think I would buy it if I had an X1. I'd probably wait for a discount and then get it.

Everything you said, I thought and I also bought it at half price. It was my biggest surprise of 2014. Highly underrated.

I actually like Sunset Overdrive, was something abit different, personally i think Assassins Creed Unit was a much bigger dissapointment, because until 2014 at least, you would expect alot better from Ubisoft. Also Sunset Overdrive was a brand new IP, Unity was just another entry in the series of usually good games.

I got the game post bug fix. Its fine now. A very solid entry into the franchise and the new gameplay engine is on point. The parkour is so realistic.

Wouldn't doubt you I haven't played so I cant give a real opinion on it. The main issues I would have with it is there doesn't seem to be much of a story (something I need in games) and open world. Open world games are very hit and miss with me I pretty much need a solid story to continue playing them otherwise I just don't care.
