It's sad that Sony games become irrelevant after a week

Right now Halo 5 is the 2nd most watched game on Twitch because of the HWC with a 2.5 million dollar prize pool. Beating out every game except for League of Legends.

This is 5 months later

It's sad that Sony games come out and then fade into obscurity a week later. They have no longevity in their lineup and that's why there's so many used copies of Sony games at Gamestop.

lol nice bait thread

I'm happy that this thread is sad

Bro gamers should try to expand their vocabularies with a few more big words to go along with "irrelevant".

whats halo 5.?

Ah, yes, Halo 5, the game that Microsoft won't even confirm selling more than a million copies worldwide.

cool alt account

And you genuinely believe that Halo 5 has not crossed the million copies mark?

Why do you need an alt to post this? I've never managed to get my head around this alt posting nonsense, the entire forum is anonymous regardless of what your primary account is.

It's very true that the vast majority of console games, regardless of platform, have very short shelf lives. Especially for new game sales which are quickly replaced by the second hand market, largely due the price reductions they present for the people who don't pick games up around release. Single player games are far more vulnerable to this than multi-player so it would come as no surprise to find a game like Halo 5 having a healthier gamer population after several months than say Uncharted 4 will.

That's because Halo 5 is the only thing Xbone have. Most AAA titles on PS4 will be obsolete rather quickly with some else talking it's place throughout the whole year.

I fully believe it has sold more than a million. In fact, I would hazard a guess it is nearing the 5 million mark at this point. I just find Microsoft's reticence to talk about hard numbers, and the sheer loopholes that affords via technicalities, amusing.

Well they are in the entertainment business so its good that they can amuse you. All three companies have been a good form of entertainment for me.

Yeah, because they get boring after a week so they go back to playing Destiny, a multiplat xD

No good shooters, no good racing games, no good platformers, nothing except a Souls rehash and weabo trash galore. PS4 in a nut shell.

This post makes perfect sense....

Does not mean it's a bad game, the Install base on the bone is small, and many that grew up with Halo are already.. grown up.

These new age kids prefer their damn COD.

Anyways, lame thread

Really trying too hard here,you have to be subtle.

PC all day twitch wise so , fighting for second place is pathetic. Reminds me how Lems were triumphing for losing last generation to Nintendo just because X360 was a bit ahead of PS3. Pathetic to say the least.

PC and its games = master race when it comes to twitch and streaming in general. Check how many will watch next CS GO MAJOR MLG colombus for example that starts at 28th and compare it to HALO 5.

They start to really learn around their first hundred post count.

Halo 5, the game that was so unbelievably bad they had to turn it into a sporting event.

"I don't think any self respecting cow wants to stream themselves playing Senran Kagura with one hand."

So true.

lol another moronic thread by lems.

I wonder, why do you count veiws and not sales?

CS:GO is garbage.

Wait a second, let's not pretend twitch positioning hasn't been brought up by cows here to attack games now. I clearly remember the "Look Halo 5 isn't even in the top ten on twitch after a week its so irrelevant" comments last November

It's sad that you keep making alts

Just checked Twitch and Street Fighter V is 2nd right now and Halo 5 is nowhere to be found.

Lems are really hitting rock bottom, It's bad enough that you have liars and misinformers like crapgamer, nxtgen720 and ironwolf(Xbox fanboy youtubers) who believes that Xbox cloud is more powerful than four titans, then you have stuff like this.

Don't worry guys, TC won't be relevant much longer.

Tournament is offline now.

I dont play multiplayer games, all games become irrelevant after about a week when you beat them once, platform doesnt matter

This is why System Wars isn't very fun anymore. Every thread is nothing but Sony Defense Force

I am missing those days when you had to be at a particular level to post

@drummerdave9099: you must have missed that 10-11 page thread not too long ago.

Sorry to say this, but i have never seen that comment.

And even if they did, what's that got to do with me?

It's 2nd most viewed, cool, but what does that have to do with Sony games?

Does cat videos of YT mean dogs are the worse thing?

It's sad, but that's the world we live in. Sony's competitive advantage isnt in long-lasting games. They focus on day-one hype reviews. They'll leave the long-term to games like Destiny, Call of Duty, and The Division. Not a half bad strat, even though those games suck balls.

So this kid made an alt account so he can brag about people watching a game that flopped on twitch?

The Master Flop Collection got a 6.0.

Halo 5: Flopians with an 8.0 review score.

The Halo series turned into casual shit like COD.

There's really nothing left on the shitboxone. It doesn't have any exclusive left besiedes flops like Halo series that continues to decline.

And now it's just filled with inferior multiplats that struggle to go beyond 720P without upscaling.

Well , garbage or not , it is the second most viewed video game in the world after League of Legends as we speak.

Let alone the fact that it started with few thousands unique players monthly logins and as we speak there are around 11 million unique players logins monthly. Every single month since its release it gets higher and higher monthly logins. Thats insane if you ask me. And thats after 2 years. Let me know how many HALO 5 will have in 2018. Most likely half of what it has now

Lol, I'm an Xbox fan but even I'll say this thread is dumb.

I thought you liked CS, NyaDC

Why are you comparing it to Halo 5? This isn't a comparison to Halo 5, I'm just informing you that CS:GO is garbage, it's a mechanically unsound game and training wheels for the previous games in the franchise.

I compared CS GO twitch and streaming views to HALO 5 to point out how far and beyond PC gaming is in that front , nothing more nothing else. You called it garbage and i just proved you wrong. Garbages wont generated more and more gamers as time pass ... garbages population shrinking after a while and thats not whats happening with CS GO.

CS GO is as close as CS 1.6 as it gets , CS overall is and will always be one of those games that made E-sports a reality since early 2000 when noone knew what E-sports were ( or werent that popular either ) and one of the most played multiplayers games of all time let alone popular. more than 16 years in life and look at it. With only 3 games in the series is the chieftain of multiplayer FPS by far when at the same time CS Source was a crap. So in reality , with 2 games ( 1 of them being mod ) is the king still after 16 years more or less ! DOPE !

If for you is garbage , well ok i guess.

So sad that Halo is still supported.

Only exclusive shooter worth talking aboutis SPLATOON.

yeah but there's more of them than on X1 so it evens out.

Yeah, you do realize I played the game since its first day in the closed beta all the way up until about 18 months ago right? The game died, it was dead because it's a mechanical piece of shit, for nearly 2 years it averaged a lowly 35,000 players a day.

CS:GO only grew to infamy because of the Arms Deal update, the introduction of weapon skins, casual features for the casual community. After that the game grew, grew at a staggering rate, not because it's a mechanically sound version of Counter-Strike, it's junk in that regard, but rather because of a gimmick. The fact is mechanically it's nearly unchanged to the state it was in while it was dead, it didn't take off because people didn't like playing it because it's a bad game, it's an inferior functioning game to even Source which is saying a lot.

Now all of these casual skin nerds have flooded the competitive scene by playing casual online match making on 64 tick servers and think they're now competitive players. The game has practically become a meme because of such a garbage uninterested community, it's used for cam whoring now, people who just gamble for skins, people trying to enter the scene just to profiteer from competitive earnings. It's a sick joke, it's a damn disgrace to what Counter-Strike is, most of these people don't give a shit about it, it's just the in thing right now on the internet.

When we started playing Counter-Strike it was because it was a good game, it was built extremely well, mechanically sound and rivaled by nothing else, that's how the community was formed and grew, notoriety of the game mechanically. GO? It's a mediocre shooter with poor netcode, terrible hit detection, clunky and floaty movement, poor directional audio, improper player to world scaling, a poorly designed replacement recoil system, washed out and bland color palette, forced post processing and the list goes on... It survives because of features, gimmicks and an equally as gimmick filled community...

I don't think CS:GO is garbage because I just like talking out of my ass, it's garbage because it's across the board inferior to the older games in the franchise and successful because of trends, a newage community involved in it for all the wrong reasons and gimmicks...

Lets come back and see how Microsoft's "exclusive" game Quantum Break is doing in 5 months.

Well if you look at it like the last FLOP of SW's was Halo 5, AAA on LOCK only to AA FLOP, then you wonder if it was because MCC shit the bed with a 6 flopping Halo 1-4, or if it caused MS to loose NPD's or caused them to drop exclusives to PC at an alarming rate, so see it's not as bad as all that,

Then Halo 5 fell out of top 5 most MP game on X! within 3 weeks!

And then you have PS4 enjoying almost a 2:1 sales advantage over X1 world wide, outside of being the world's most powerful video game console.

So see, everything is looking up for SONY!

Why just look at Uncharted 4, with the META game GONE, it's impossible for Uncharted 4 to FLOP in Sw's now! Isn't that some good news????

We can only spare a week for every game that comes out on PS4.

We're sorry OP.

It was in the top 5 a few weeks ago. It's around 7th or 8th place right now.
