I did, yeah. It was fun for a week and had a really good story. It also looked really nice. It has it's faults (weird facial animation, dialogue can be retarded) but it also has some really enjoyable qualities.

If you need a lot of hours out of your game to feel it's worth $60, it's probably not worth the buy. But I'd say it's definitely worth at least a rent for everyone with a PS4.

Why does /v/ suddenly think every PS4 owner needs to buy every game released? By this logic, Doom should have sold 25 million on X1, 60 million on PS4, and 150 million on steam to have total sales of 235 million copies sold.

Online games are much more sustainable on PS4. Especially the low key ones that get riddled with BRs and chink hackers on PC. Half of my friends list plays gta online daily, you can't play that shit on pc without some BR either killing you even in passive mode, giving you endless amounts of money and ending the point of playing, or locking your character in place. Same with shit like mgs v. That's not even taking into account the big name games like overwatch and black ops and sports games and whatnot

If PS4 only launched with 2 games, it wouldn't have broken a million in the first month.

Launching with 2 games would prove that idea to be a complete fucking failure. Stay assblasted.

It sold 70% of its copies in the first month. That means that after that, the remaining 30% took two whole months to sell out. And the budget was confirmed to be so costly that they need to sell 5 million to break even. The game isn't some "low budget indie" breaking out onto the scene, nor is it a cost-efficient Nintendo game. Zelda broke even at the 2 million mark, as an example, and has probably tripled that amount already including Wii U sales.

Install base doesn't matter though, what's concerning here is that a Zelda knock-off is about to outsell Zelda itself and It only needs about 100k sales to achieve that.

Did you not read? It sold 3.84, confirmed by Nintendo, by March 31st. It released on March 3rd. It's beyond that by now.
And how does install base not matter? Especially with the long legs Nintendo games have.
The Wii U had the worst selling Smash, 3D Mario, NSMB, Pikmin, Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox, and 3rd worst selling Mario Kart game thanks to the shit sales of the Wii U. Zelda is outselling it with a considerably smaller current install base and you find a way to spin that.

>And how does install base not matter?

Larger install base doesn't mean that absolutely everyone will buy every single game. During the time HZD released I had to pick between Yakuza, Persona 5, Nioh and Nier. I want to buy HZD but more good games are being released in big packs, eventually I'll get it and I'm pretty sure a lot of people will too.

The Switch only had Zelda, one (1) game so everyone that gave a shit about it bought it day one.

Sales for BOTW already declined though, a mainline Zelda game shouldn't be selling low numbers like these.
>>
>>379228234
You know what? I actually think the first game being a financial success despite being a pretty bad game is a good thing. This means we will get the sequel and from my experience with HZD, the sequel is just what the game needs. It was so wonky and unbalanced and unpolished and just feels like a bunch of shit thrown in for marketing promises points, that if gorilla games would spend time fixing their shit and polishing everything they might release a pretty good game. Because to be fair, HZD had some really cool moments and actually have potential to grow into something worthwhile.

Pretty much this. Why would I buy this Ubishit trash when I already had a spring loaded with good games?
>>
>>379246575

And you expect it to continue to sell? You're the clueless one here. The only way it'll "sell" is if Nintendo keeps pushing it but they wont because they got other games to give attention to. HZD only needs to be coupled with another game and be sold off in a new shiny bundle to get another million sales.
>>
>>379245867

Obviously every console sale doesn't mean another sale for Zelda, but it certainly makes a big freakin' difference when the Switch is 3 months in and has an install base of 5 million or less. As I mentioned, Wii U games suffered a lot for being on a failed console. Gamecubes higher sales made a difference for its software sales compared to the Wii U.

Fair point, but I haven't played killzone. What rubbed me the wrong way with HZD is that it has obvious gameplay\gamedesign mistakes that can be easily fixed, and that their QC is fucking terrible. Now that they have a working familiar engine and a shitton of assets to use, they can focus on just fixing their mistakes. And that's all it takes to make HZD into an enjoyable experience.

What nonsense are you spouting about, HZD only has a budget of $47M and SIE marketing budget for 2016 is 13B yen or $120M FOR ALL Games including third party titles so it doesn't really need 5M to break even since their cut from third party games alone pays for marketing.

There is no sexism in NieR. 2/3 playable characters, and the majority of NPCs are androids (including all NPC androids with authority, like the commander of YorHa) that appear to be women. The fact that androids look physically appealing isn't sexism. Any sexism you receive from the game is simply you projecting your insecurities.

If you think NieR has sexism, then you must also be repulsed by Knights of Sidonia on Netflix.
>>
>>379247063
Well if you insist.
Combat is stupid. Projectiles feel like hitscan with trajectory trace, but even the trajectory feels awkward. Arrows has no hitbox and are 100% super accurate and always hit the dead center pixel of your crosshair which is a bad thing. Bombs, traps and shit like that are fun for the first couple of hours, but about halfway into the game the variety ends and you just use the same shit every time.
Crafting is fucking trash and a chore and doesn't work with other gameplay mechanics together at all, rather against it. You can remove it from the game and actually make it better. Out of arrows? Just craft some more while you're being shot at from 7 directions! Out again? No problem dude! Tired of being out of ammo every 10 seconds? CRAFT A FUCKING LARGER QUIVER
This shit is ridicilously bad like what the fuck were they thinking, crafting is hip and will sell them copies?
Big open empty world with nothing to do. Sidequests are 50% garbage and 50% broken, robotic vaults while are fun for the first couple of times quickly become tedious as fuck.
Stealth is broken, like zero AI for both robots and humans, just slam oneshot heavy attacks from the bushes to beat the game. And the game having some sort of variety to approach the combat (traps, bombs, bows, grenade launchers AND stealth) make it look even worse. Like if that's an optional way for some people who like sneaking, why do you make it so easy and brainless? Shit even stealth in Skyrim is way better, and HZD actually puts quite a big emphasis on it. It's awkward as hell
Parkour and climbing is weird. On one side it's a no-brainer "hold x to climb" and on the other it's "you can climb only specifically designed yellow ledges". Can't even climb a 1.5 meter tall rock? Fuck outta here
Also I had a lot of issues with writing and especially with dialogues, but that's outside of topic, so I'll skip that.

Those are just the things that can be "fixed" pretty fast if addressed properly.

There are a lot of breaks in logic here.

First, I agree, the Switch only has Zelda at the moment. As such people uninterested in Zelda or PEOPLE WHO ALREADY BOUGHT A WII U have no reason to really get one at this time. Saying the Wii U numbers don't count when you're saying it's the only worthwhile game on the Switch is essentially the same as covering your ears and yelling that you're right in an argument.

Secondly saying other games are competition within it's own platform while AN ENTIRELY NEW SYSTEM FACING SHORTAGES IN STOCKS is not is also pretty backwards.

tl;dr: you're kind of dumb, but I'm probably dumber having wasted my time responding to you.
>>
>>379249334

>shortages in stocks

>>
>>379249334
If you already bought a Wii U, there's no reason for you to buy a switch, as its also available for the Wii U.

Using the combined WiiU and Switch numbers and to claim that the game was successful on the Switch is a break in logic itself. Take me, for instance, I bought BotW for the Wii U, and have no current plans to ever purchase the Switch, as literally nothing has been announced that I am even remotely interested in.

Meanwhile, Ever Oasis comes out in like 2 weeks, and was made by the creator of the Mana series, and nobody talks about it.

If you had browsed /v/ in the months leading up the game you wouldn't think it was so irrational. There was an absolutely exhausting campaign of sonyfags and almost certainly marketers who constantly shitposted about the game and propped it up as a "Zelda killer." Week after week of that shit and it was grating. Then when the game came out and it was outed as the mediocre 5/10 game it actually was, they still continued to spam le cinematic webms and shitposted about sales for weeks after. Hell, that shit is still around, go to any webm thread and count how many posts it takes for some faggot to start spamming Horizon webms. Horizon deserves all the hate it got around here for how much shit sonyfags talked about how it was going to be some masterpiece Zelda killer that wasn't anywhere close to the 10/10 that BotW ended up being.
>>
>>379250690
Far Cry 5 has outrage? Someone actually gives a fuck about Far Cry 5?

Horizon just needs to ditch the Ubisoft collectibles for more organic exploration. The flowers don't give you jack shit and the maps are a cop out. Player should be organically funneled to find collectibles in intersting locations.

Considering how the game is already a highlight reel of previous open world games (with better aesthetics and combat) I wouldn't be surprised if they take a page out of Zeldas book and reduce the Ubi influence for the sequel.

Unlike Xbox, Sony says whether it's shipped or sold. Here they said sold so that means sold.

That's not how PS+ works, the digital copies are included in this number. 900k are digital copies.

How the fuck would they keep track of used copies?

So far it has sold about the same as the new Zelda (a 30 year franchise, not a new IP) which was the only game worth buying on an entire system for a two month span and was on two systems. Meanwhile PS4 has about 1000 games to choose from. This is just one.
