Dungeon Defender Sells 250,000 (80% of Sales Come from Only One Platform)

Not worth it at $15, thats the only reason why i havent bought it off PSN yet, should be $9 or $8

[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="SW__Troll"] Are you trying to tell me that advertising is not a humungous part of the console business model?SW__Troll

Again, it could be that console gamers just don't like tower defense games. Or, if they did, they play free things on the internet.

How much is in PC? PC has this ridiculous sales all the time and games end up costing like 1, 2 or 3 dollars. Consolites don't get such great deals.kuraimen

Love this game. Played way too much of it, but i need to get online with people so i can play more.

That game is horrible.

Seriously if you havent played Bastion yet, get it instead, its a master piece.

Wow now that I see it that little games looks like fun. :)

No surprise here, digital download on PC is much stronger than it is on consoles.

or they're pirating the game. :P

Console gamers have good taste in games? What else is new... :|

Even if was possible to pirate XBLA/PSN games, no one would waste their bandwith downloading this mediocre game.

Its not mediocre at all :?

82% average on metacritic is mediocre now? :lol:

Yes, in system wars anything under 8.5 is not worth playing at all.

It's really sad to see this kind of attitude (not aiming at you, Tikeio but there seem to be alot of people that think this way). Since my favourite games at the moment scored a 7.5 (RO2) and 6.5 (Age of Empires Online).

[QUOTE="AiurProtoss"]Piracy is still a big problem on the PC platform no matter how you want to try and spin it. Piracy in general is a problem but Developers have a harder time on PC. Such is the nature of an open platform.sSubZerOo

No it isn't.. Developers like the ones for Witcher 2 have shown they can be profitable with little to no copy write.. And int eh end piracy is a EMPTY figure.. There is no telling if the people would buy it or not if they couldn't pirate it.

NO, piracy is a big problem on pc. Small developers like frictional ran into piracy problems, virutally every developer has that problem despite selling copies. There was an article not too long ago where an idie dev sold roughly 200K copies and had 1 million people playing online. If i can find the article I will post it, but its just a sad and unfortunate thing that happens in gaming, especially on the PC side of things. Thats what happens on an open platform, but just like everything else in the world, it has pros and cons.

Never heard of it.

[QUOTE="vashkey"]I wonder how much it sold on XBLA. It was the most played XBLA game last week according to majornelson. Personally, I'm not interested in it. I don't think I could play a game that's purely based on tower defense. Seems really boring.ShadowDeathX

There have been upwards of a million people playing CoD this passed week.

50k copies of Dungeon Defenders sold was between multiple platforms (PC obviously excluded).

It'd be pretty amazing if 50k> somehow was a bigger number than a million even for just a nanosecond, but a whole week?

Thought about getting Dungeon Defenders but it looks and handles too much like one of those F2P titles, clunky controls and a million things cluttering up the screen.

I refuse to accept that there are people who don't like Dungeon Defenders. It's one of the most fun and addicting games I've played in a long time. Maybe it needs more quick time events and cutscenes to get more popular.

Well, funny you mentioned that game. It was just on sale on Steam for 50% off. I bought a few copies to give out as gives around Christmas. I love Steam so much.

DD is a great game and is a good bit of fun with friends.

Another similar title to DD is Sanctum (came out a while ago) and it is currently on sale on Steam for 50% off. Did I mention I love Steam. I bought sanctum back when it came out, but the DLC pack is also on sale which is what I bought.

Got it for PC, I diddnt really like it though. The game is pretty bland, even for a tower defence. If you want an interesting tower defence, try Sanctum on steam.

A tower defense game selling poorly on consoles!? what an out rage!!

Seriously though thats like comparing what sells more, Madden on consoles or PC. Anyways back on topic, tried the demo and I've played better tower defense games.

The demo for Dungeon Defenders is a very poor representation of the entire game.

You get two maps (there's like 15 I think), you only get to go up to medium difficulty (which is baby mode on those first two maps), you don't get the challenge modes, you don't get two of the c|asses, and you don't get to experience all the different mobs, or boss battles, or anything.

I liked the demo enough to buy the game, but boy have I been surprised by the difficulty increasing even just one or two maps after the demo map you get, and I'm still using medium difficulty! There's still hard, and insane difficulties to choose from eventually, so I can only imagine it'll get extremely hectic, and fun.

This game is amazing. I love the way you can switch classes in-between waves it makes choosing who to use and when all the better!

The amount of value it offers for $15 is quite the thing and worthy of immediate PC sales. Especially for a game that works better with KB/M controls, uses the steam server system and has mod support.illmatic87

Consolites are cheap?! :shock:

I actually find that funny since most console games are 60 and most PC games are 50.

Unless its Blizzard or EA sadly -_-

Tikeio

proven wrong by the millions of mouth droolers that buy COD games and let good RPG's have low sales. Console majority are the people that made fun of real gamers like me when we were young, till GTA and COD made it ok for them to play too. They have poor taste to say the least.

[QUOTE="Arach666"]It reminds me how Breath of Death and Ctulhu saves the world sold more on steam in a week than on xbox live in a year and a half lol.kozzy1234

Some people like to toss these instances under the table :lol:

They should have gotten the games in the XBLA section rather than the Indies section, people ignore the Indies section unless their XNA hobbyists (and with good cause, only about 1 in 50 are even worth trying). The only thing that sells on the indie channel are Minecraft clones and The Impossible Game.
