Memory cards killed the majority of the sales pre-launch. The games line up killed the rest of them post launch. Snowball effect after that with games quality vs sales.
7th of June seems more likely! Can't wait for this to come out, although I have yet to finish the main campaign and Hearts of Stone expansion pack. There is just so many side quests and things to do, I get distracted easily! But overall this is my favorite RPG of all time.
I can't believe people still cry about PS+. Before Sony's initiative, there were no free games from any console manufacturer. Sony took the lead, Microsoft followed, and all they get for it is grief. We're talking $5 a month! That money isn't for free games, it's to maintain and improve their online infrastructure. If you want to cry about that, fine. The free games and discounts are bonuses. I swear, Sony could give away Bloodborne, Until Dawn, and Uncharted 4 all in the same month. And people would STILL cry Gaming isn't a cheap hobby. If you expect ANY console maker to fund your AAA gaming needs, you're just going to be sour period. There's a market specifically for your income level and mentality: mobile.
@stevie85 I'm with ya on both W3 and ME2. Though I have to say that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its first expansion Hearts of Stone is by far the best thing I've experienced in an RPG, EVER.
Incredible patch, I'm having tons of fun with it. In terms of content this is by far the biggest and most feature rich patch since the launch of Reaper of Souls expansion. Bravo Blizzard!
@FullbringIchigo They are not going to recover, at least not in this console generation. They will sell sure, but not more than 50/60 mil tops, and that's being generous.
@BAMozzy "Naughty Dog are regarded as one of the Top developers because of their many GotY awarded games - not for PR stunts!" absolutely agree with you. While one can argue forever on whether they held some of the content back in order to drip it post launch (for the consumer goodwill), they have to be judged on the quality of the game and what they were able to achieve with it (technically, artistically, graphically etc...) - which they have succeed beyond any doubt!
There are two fundamental problems.
1. The Sparrow handling is average at best, the controls could be way more tighter.
2. There are two maps, and it feels like only one of them is balanced. One of the maps is really narrow which will make you bump into pretty much every imaginable object (even after 15 races) - so losing your lead at the last moment is annoyingly common. The second map feels great, but with no ability to choose the map you're on, you could be stuck on one for 3-4 races in a row.
Though the cosmetic items, shaders, new sparrows and other goodies are a nice incentive to race in the event, other than that, it is as shallow and unfinished as it gets.
Every single developer, including Naughty Dog should take notes from CD Projekt RED and the way they conduct business. Hearts of Stone, like it was mentioned in the article, is a prime example of value for money, not only it is an incredible piece of DLC, but offers so much content for a $10 price.
Wholeheartedly agree regarding MGSV micro-transactions, greed at its finest.
