Yet another shooter bombed in sales

Rainbow Six bombed

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1152128

We already knew Halo 5 and Battlefront underperformed and now Siege flat out bombed. Nothing can compete with the masterpiece that is Black Ops 3. Devs need to give up on trying to compete with the FPS GODS Treyarch.

Anyone surprised?

Halo 5 sold extremely well.

Wait, so BLOPS 3 is now to be considered at the level of "masterpiece"?

Wow, standards really have fallen

To be fair, these stats appear to be based on Steam only, and I would assume most people aren't buying it there since it means having to activate 2 separate DD stores just to get the game running.

Of course it wouldn't surprise me if it really wasn't doing well. Multiplayer FPS have been a complete shit show this gen, I would expect people to be apprehensive at this point about buying into another one, especially when it's full priced with microtransactions.

@lostrib: Ps4 launched with Shadowfall. A lot of things look magnificent compared to that. Like baby vomit, for example.

Call of Duty sales have been consistently dropping since MW3.. thankfully.

But then again, there's the digital market, I need to check that.

False. Black Ops 3 had a much bigger launch than Ghosts and AW.

Sales mean everything dude, you know that.

I would rather force myself to play through the shitfest Halo 5 campaign than play a minute of BLOPS 3. BLOPS 3 is the reason why FPS standards have completely fallen.

what are u on about, Halo5 sold very well and Rainbow Six digital sales have been pretty dang good (It has been 1st, 2nd or 3rd on steam sales the last two weeks).

You have shit taste so that means nothing.

Says the guy who proclaimed Call of Duty 18 the shooter of the generation lol... What year were you born? 2002 lol?

Someone call me when UT is officially released. In the meantime, I'll stick to CS:GO as my FPS.

I was excited but I heard it was multiplayer only? What happened to having good single player campaigns anymore. I loved rainbow six Vegas, Wtf happened Ubi?

It could also be due to Fallout 4. Many games probably bombed because of that one.

> Masterpiece

> Black Ops 3

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh wait, wasn't COD "dude bro crap" last gen? Anyways,,, HAHAHAHAHAHA

Give me vehicular combat ala Battlefield, or GTFO.

Seriously i'm unable to get excited about games like CoD after spending numerous hours on games like Battlefield, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Crysis Wars (yes, buggy mess, but so sweet concept). Everything CoD-like is auto-fail in my books.

Yes, i'm talking multiplayer only. Singleplayer would require something really unique to get me excited, like something what Stalker did. Boring scripted on-rails blasting is somehow still the recipe most devs are using, then they are wondering why shooters are failing one after another.

Actually, Fallout 4 is quite close. It still plays and feels more like RPG, but that's how you'd make a shooter these days.

EDIT: meh, this was just some crappy pro-CoD troll thread....

Black Ops 3 is now "fps of the gen" and "masterpiece"

@NathanDrakeSwag: ah, I see.. I wish it would just die already though.

Eh....I'd wait for November NPD before calling Star Wars a financial failure. It's doing extremely well in Europe and the game seems to be doing well here in the US especially with the movies so close.

Also LOL @ calling BLOPS 3 a masterpiece. I'm playing it right now and I enjoy it but it's far from a masterpiece.

Labeling any Call of Duty after World at War a "masterpiece" is insulting.

I didn't even know it released.

The only shooter that matters this gen is Destiny.. that is until Destiny 2 releases

Black Ops 3 is great fun.

Played the Battlefront EA access trial and it was nice to look at but pretty meh

Played the Rainbow 6 beta and it was really fun game play and had potential but the server issues and the fact that I have no idea how long the community would last on Xbox one had me worried to commit to the purchase. Might still pick this up if the price is right.

30 fps and great shooter, pick one

Funny, surely Batleftont will sell extremely well especially with Episode VII coming soon. And surely Halo 5 is doing good too, seen nothing to indicted otherwise except buttsore cows acting insecure about their adversary getting a quality title, but totally expected.

It bombed because it sucks. Allowing all players to leave the area of operation would have done wonders for the game. I played the beta for a day or two, deleted it, cancelled my pre-order and moved on. It isn't because the market doesn't care, it's because the shooters being released suck ass.

My opinions>your opinions.

My tastes>your tastes.

My game>your game.

My system>your system.

Graphics blah, sales blah.

Think I covered everything SW has ever said and done in one small statement.

I don't care much, the last Fps i enjoyed was Tribes 2, nothing matches that yet.

If BLOPS 3 is considered a masterpiece, god help us all!!!

Im sure you thought every game you played when you were 13 was a masterpiece too. I mean, I used to think Hybrid Heaven was a cool game at one point in my life.

can't believe I almost made a hype thread for that game

halo 5 outscored COD;BO3 both on GS and metacritics

It actually is a good game though, wish there were more like it.

This is true, most people will get it on Uplay as it's necessary to have open even if you've purchased it on Steam so whats the point in having two DRM platforms open at the same time. B

On the other hand it still didn't sell very well, it takes a while to get a match in the game regardless of time of day atm, obviously that could be Ubi's atrocious servers but i honestly i think there's just a lack of players in the game.

I'll reply for him. "BLOPS is more popular so its better! durrrrrrrr"

Gotta just ignore teenagers man, they think popular=good. They don't know any better. NathanDrakeSwag is a fucking huge Justin Bieber fan.

Yeah good point lol

Just waiting for him to say that scores dont matter

@WitIsWisdom: Why would you want the defenders to be able to leave the buildings? That defeats the whole purpose of the game. They give you enough time to basically jump out a window and go back in another way before you are detected so you can still flank.

My only grip other than the connection/server issues I saw was the only one person can choose a certain operator. Playing solo that sucks cause someone usually takes the operator you like. I understand this move because going against a whole team of shield guys would completely suck! I didn't play around with the beta enough to see if you could set up the recruit operator to use the gun you prefer with attachments and what not only noticed that for operators you unlocked and it kinda sucked not having the gun set up you prefer if your operator was chosen.

black ops 3 is the worst mainline call of duty single player experience ever released.

shadowfall sucks ass I played it a few month ago and I hated it.

Blops 3 is currently #6 on Twitch. Halo 5 is 73.

I'm pretty sure M$ and 343 would rather have a game people actually play for more than a week than a game that scores 3 points higher on metacritic LOL.

Call of duty a masterpiece? LMAO WTF? What's your psn name, we need to see that right now cause I doubt you even played it and beat it cause if you did, you would know better than to put call of duty and masterpiece in the same sentence anymore. I call shenanigans on this thread.

Rainbow-More tactical thought out shooter

Battlefront-More fun big battle shooter

Halo-More competitive shooter

I hope they release UT on consoles, that's my favorite shooter of all time. I don't know how many hours I put into Unreal Championship.

Can't wait to hear their excuse. I can already see it:

"PC GAMERS ARE TO BLAME!!! THEY PIRATED THE GAME TO HELL AND BACK!!!!"

" Insert the sound of a backfire" Another thread bombed. :P

I play CoD and I would never consider any of them masterpieces especially the last few iterations.

What because its not as high on twitch it aint being played? When you've got a game on 5 systems and is the the casual go to FPS you're going to have high viewing figures. You're a joke. Halo 5 is the better game, which is still being played by many people. Funny how that 3 points higher means every bit of difference if its a PS game outscoring an XBOX one.

Do not wait. The so called "Pre-Alpha" is more stable than most AAA games coming out today. It's completely free and you should jump in right away and get used to the flow of the game.

How can one do so?
