AssCreed Syndicate is down a whopping 90% (!!!) from AssCreed III which sold 3.3m on its NPD debut month and sold 13m globally.
AssCreed is definitely in trouble it looks like. First Halo 5 is a blunder, now AssCreed looks to be an even bigger blunder, and Amazon charts and retailer reports suggest Rise of the Tomb Raider will be a massive failure as well that won't even chart in November.
What the fuck is going on?

Have we lived to see the end of AAA western games?
I can only hope.

What the fuck is going on over at Xbox camp? This shit is getting out of hand.
they completely skipped the advertising on this game though for some reason. Unity had a lot of noise around it, be it the feminists retards or the bugs that make it visible in the market.
The new one just had its E3 video before being launched. no controversy, no buzz, no hype.
>>316477836
The crash is imminent.

Regardless of how Syndicate was going to be this was bound to happen when Unity was released the way it was.
If you want the full normie perspective, you have to look at it in comparison to other western AAA titles.

It's not that surprising The Tomb Raider game was just poorly marketed. Ubisoft is trying to get away with releasing a garbage Assassin's Creed year after year to the extent that even normies are starting to get tired of their shit.

Did the decline of Guitar Hero mark the end of AAA western games? It will be replaced.
>>316480483
>implying that the cognitive dissonance and office politicking that promotes mental unwellness associated with the sjw agenda hasn't torn Ubisoft apart, like it has previously with BioWare
>implying that they didnt waste loads of time and effort putting in garbage like unrealistic for the times trannies and female models when they could have been focusing on MAKING THE GAME ACTUALLY RUN AND PLAY WELL
when will game devs realize that giving in to sjws, progressive and dumb cunt women only leads to failure?
Because mobile and budget AAA exist.
This will be the last console generation until we see some drastic changes. Two possibilities at this point are Microsoft steeping down and converting the Xbox brand into a PC-centric one, Sony as a whole company crashing into oblivion if the PS4 sales don't continue, and perhaps another company trying to join in.
The funny part? Nintendo will come out unscathed. No, I'm not a Nintendrone or a manchild; Nintendo's like a fucking roach. Shit never dies.

This is what happens when you try to appeal to a loud vocal minority who doesn't give a shit about actually buying video games. They may seem like a great audience to cater to until you realize they are a tiny speck of nothing who can't financially support anything beyond tiny indie shit.

What the fuck did you just say about me, you sexist pig? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in women's studies and have been involved in numerous false-flaggings against anti-feminist Youtube videos, and I have over 300 confirmed user bannings. I am trained in professional self-victimization and I have the top Patreon account in the entire feminist blogosphere. You are nothing to me but another blocked user. I will shut you the fuck up with feigned outrage the likes of which has never been seen before on Tumblr, mark my fucking tits. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the internet? Think again, shitlord. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of progressive journalists whom I've fucked and your words are being taken out of context right now, so you better prepare for their white-knighting, bigot. The white-knighting that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your reputation. You're fucking dead, fedora. I can doxx you anywhere, anytime, and I can check your privilege in over seven hundred ways, and that's just for your gender. Not only am I extensively trained in redefining words, but I have access to the entire database of the postmodern Marxist curriculum of my university and will use it to its full extent to wipe your mansplanation off the face of the internet, you little shit. If only you could have known what hysterical femtribution your “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn misogynist. I will menstruate fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking over, neckbeard.

>>316483292
Best selling October title was Halo 5 at 935k, including bundles.
This is only US by the way. Also the increasingly heavy focus on holiday sales and BF seem to be taking the steam out of October and it seems November will be an aabsolutely massive month.
Anyways, these hardware numbers, albeit a bit disappointing are about on par with Oct hardware sales since 2006.
>>316482519
I dont even think It is about too many games.
Xbone lost the war pretty early on, and nothing will change It. After the e3 fiasco, weak launch, performance even lower than the ps4 and few impressive exclusives, part of the fanboy community died out.
Without the fanboy vision, a lot of dudebro games, at least on the xbone, are failing.
I think Microsoft took its consumers as granted.

Europe market is expanding
burgertown is being poor

That's it.
Face it.
The wow factor is gone and the so called EBUL CASUALS that the faggot game journos and media shillers spent years pushing away and pissing off are now...GONE
And from the looks of this gen, there is no reason for them to come back.
The "gamers"?
They're leaving or just going back to last gen and ditching it all entirely. Why?
Because you can't keep fucking them over like that and expect them to plunk down a shitload of money on a luxury entertainment product that FAILS to produce any entertainment and wants more money on top of going out of it's way to demonize them in the public eye when they say they dislike things.
If the NX fails to recapture the casuals the console industry is dead.

>>316481974
Someone mentioned that it "reportedly" had the strongest launch.
Can gaming die already? I want the hipster feminists to fuck off.
In related news, the newest Heroes of Might & Magic sold only around 50k.
As shit as HoM&M6 was, it still moved 600k copies. So that's another Ubi franchise with a 90% drop.
People are finally wising up to no substance and all flash bullshit.
>>316483459
NPD also noted that Mario Maker would have came in at 9th if it wasn't for Nintendo's ass awkward SKU's and pushed Uncharted Collection to 10th.
Uncharted sold less than 100K and barely above Rock Band as well even including bundles. GAF is currently rump roasted as fuck over it.

His point was that games as shitty as Fallout 4 are still selling. Normalfags don't think about quality of games. They just buy them because the trailer looked cool and play them for a few hours.

AAA selection is happening. Unity played a huge role. But anyway the AAAs are weeding each other out: We're seeing people select Call of Duty, Fallout 4 and others like them over Asscreed, Tomb Raider and Halo. The "second tier" AAA is falling away. Only thing that will be left is top tier AAA. This is next stage of the "long crash" which began a few years ago.

>>316485168

It's in fact selling not well at all.
>>316485828
That's not weeding out anything, that's just shit not selling.
You can't just KILL all titles save for AAA yearly rehashes and titles that are EXACTLY LIKE AAA yearly rehashes then spit on the casuals who will be the ones to pick it up and alienate the one's who'll pay for it and think that the shit will keep selling.
The only way the console industry will survive is a drastic drop in price, dumping the online only bullshit, fixing the need to install half of the fucking game to hard drive to fucking run, and realize that YOU HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE VARIETY!!
No one on gods green EARTH didn't see genre fatigue happening and happening pretty goddamned fast.
And when you combine that with horrid pr and escalating prices and an increase in complexity for the end consumer you get steady and visible drops in sales and AAA titles that were once solid losing shitloads of money.
And the thing that got people to stick with those games? Local multiplayer? Being phased out to force them to pay for online that will ensure that they have less money to spend on other games and the shitty dlc they want them to buy.
>>316486620
What's weird is that the MRA is to SJWs what Jews are to /pol/, yet the MRA is such a little group.

you forget that almost everyone who owned a 360 went through more then one of those motherfuckers. If you have the chance to start off with a different console that won't hold you hostage to it's bullshit, why not?
>>316481570
they are just extremely loud. wasn't there a game made by SJWs which no one bought and then the creator started lashing out on gamers? lol
>>316486890
The very idea that men who want their rights to be considered is considered political extremism?
That's kind of fucked up. It's them saying that no one can have it bad except for them. That their entire world view and place in the world is to be victims.
Their basically begging to be exploited and used.
Do the feminists who bring up MRA as a strawman to defend themselves from insult online like...know anything about this group or have a bullet point list. Or are they hoping simply screaming MRA in a derisive manner will make people associate MRA with something bad and scary. Like making it out to be some kind of evil unmentionable thing.
>>316487171
Yes, they did.
>>316482519

Normals didn't think Halo and TR and Asscreed were so shit in the past.

Wut. Only a few games are online only.
>The only way the console industry will survive is a drastic drop in price
That isn't possible. They're stretching as it is with a 60 dollar entry fee and more afterwards for DLC and the like. The games cost too much to make for that to happen, even if the games are shit.
>fixing the need to install half of the fucking game to hard drive to fucking run
Technically impossible now if they want to maintain even the current levels of graphical fidelity they have. Disc drives just aren't fast enough.
>And the thing that got people to stick with those games? Local multiplayer?
Normals now don't really care about local multi. Just people who remember the good old days of N64-GCN do.
>>316488046
They added sexual orientations at some point--maybe this one--though, at least from Revelations, which was the last AC I played.
>>316489571
>The games cost too much to make
Then maybe they should start trimming the fat? Nobody needs pre-rendered cutscenes or expensive VAs for every line in the game.

I'm not saying MRA's are political extremists, i'm saying the ones that SJWs call MRAs and SJWs themselves are.
Although nowadays SJWs call anyone who isn't a leftist extremist a MRA.
>>316487606

Since there isn't much to know about feminists or SJW outside of them being bitter angry people.
>>316478049
Tripple powered bullshit games dead.
Inside me, there is joy.
>>316489849
>pre-rendered cutscenes
Are you living in 2010 or so? Most cutscenes are in-engine now. Shit's still expensive as hell.
>expensive VAs for every line in the game.
Celebrity VAs are like marketing. They draw the normies in. Why I don't know. But then again, does Asscreed Syndicate, TR or Halo even have celebrity VAs? CoD and Bethesda usually spring for that and...they're the ones selling, so they can afford it.
>>316478049
Once you put more w*men to the game, it stops selling.
>>316484862
this is too good, now we finally got a reply against linux for gaming guys, rather than just opinion aka educated guesses

>Since there isn't much to know about feminists or SJW outside of them being bitter angry people.
Not all feminists are retards that complain about video games. Try educating yourself for once.
>>316490093
Some MRA's are legit fucking retarded and bring lots of heat on themselves, but yeah SJW would attack them anyway.
>>316488046
>>316489748
They originally did this to say they don't mean any offense as the game may show certain groups of people in not the best light for narrative purposes. As Templars have or had a very Christian connotation to them and you went around murdering a lot of Arabs in AC1.
Now it seems they do it to pander to everyone as they try not to cause offense in the game anyway and the statement is just redundant other than to try and say how cool we are as a developer for being so diverse.
>>316486898
>It's like how SJW is an insult
It is.
And should be.
It was tainted at inception.
>>316491021
>Not all feminists are retards that complain about video games. Try educating yourself for once.
No, the true feminists are respectable women who just want to be at the same level of men.
That's why I will never call an SJW a feminist, it's an insult to the ones fighting for women that aren't a bunch of rich, stuck up manchildren from the San Francisco clique.
>>316477836
How is this surprising at all? A majority of casual gamers are tired of this franchise after releasing the same game year after year. I mean fuck cod at least makes an attempt at being different from its predecessors this game just adds a fucking grappling hook and calls it a new game
>>316491021

They are all bad.
Name one that isn't.

>>316490807
>>316491215
No they are not.
Don't let human trash like Anita taint your view on feminists.
What they want has nothing to do with feminism.
People are going to bash me on this one, but anyway
>Western companies are pandering to stupid ass SJW and alikes
>They forget that their major player base is male, and we like tits/ass
>Sales goes poor
Gee, I wonder why we're not selling anymore. Gaming is mainly an activity perfomed by men.
At least the japs are still making games with boobs and all things stupid. And they couldn't give less of a fuck to this tumblr bullshit. There's some light, I guess, even if they don't sell to well around here.
>>316491182
A whole new world. It's a whole new WOOOORLD! Out theeeeerrrrre!
>>316491215
Any of the women that protested for women's suffrage. The feminists that try to fight for equal rights in the middle east, africa and elsewhere.
>>316491438
They're all dead anon.
>>316491373
As long as the narrative isn't too pushy about women's lib or the like I'd think men would like more playable female characters so they can stare at dat ass while playing.
>>316491356
ALL FEMINISTS ARE CANCER
/V/ TOLD ME SO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Franchise fatigue is setting in for real this time.
>>316491497
>The feminists that try to fight for equal rights in the middle east, africa and elsewhere.
They still exist sperglord.
>>316491438
You should probably realize >>316491497 is right. Most western women don't run over to the mid east or Africa to fight for women's rights there because the potential for real physical danger in Arabland and Africa is much, much higher.
>>316491554
Don't get me wrong, SJWs are pure trash, but calling them feminists is just wrong.
Hell, those feminists might hate Anita even more than some people here.
They have permanently tainted the world's view on feminists and made the entire movement a parody of itself.
>>316491675
>Most western women
So what? Feminists live in those countries already.
>>316491356
Can you link me to the video that's from, anon?

I wish I could call her and tell her she's talking about jews.

>>316479425
Yeah, women don't belong in Halo unless it's some AI program.
>>316491667
And what do they do about the feminists that literally change laws in the country they live in and we live in?
Nothing?
Does that not make them complicit?
>>316482879
I've heard it's not as good as Unity was with a lot of questionable backtracks in comparison to Unity, and the only real decent part about it is the female character's storyline since the dude is basically just about beating everyone up for fun.
>>316492009
Why are you tripfagging?
>>316491949
You seem to be conflating simply brave people not associated with the movement with people who are.
People are saying it's due to people getting tired of AC being the same all the time or some kind of message people didn't like are missing the more obvious reason. Unity was a trainwreck of bugs. Since dudebros buy one day 1 and preorder, they couldn't have known that Unity would be such a turd and so fell for it. So the blowback for that doesn't happen until the next game: Syndicate, where people who genuinely don't have standards STILL actively avoided buying it because they figured it would be buggy as hell.
>>316491182
fallout 4 is also the same damn game, they didn't even up the graphics and its using the same damn engine with the same damn animations and it shipped 12 million the first day.
at least ass creed, cod rehashes tries to improve upon the graphics.
>>316491803
/v/ complains that western feminists should all go over there to fight for women's rights where women are more oppressed rather than what they do in their own countries where things are a lot better.

Hopefully the Japanese SJWs put a stop to this.
The overt sexualization of Quiet in MGS V was absolutely disgusting.
>>316477836
maybe they'll finally stop the retarded yearly release policy
>>316477836
Maybe AC3 released on the first of the month and Syndicate released on like the 23rd or something?
>>316492347
Stay mad.
>>316492347
>Japan
>SJW
Come on, anon.
>>316488046
That has been in all AC games because it explains the human origin story in a way that might offend religious people, so it was a way to say hey some of us are religious its just a game don't get mad. With Syndicate they added the whole 'sexual orientations and gender identities' part just to fucking pander to the SJW crowd. Nobody fucking cares if a nonbinary genderfluid trans queer wolfkin worked on the game. I don't give money to people that pander like that or to people that depict Karl Marx in a positive light. I'm glad it fucking failed. SJW and communists don't actually buy the games, they just whine about them.
>>316487518
And the new one is probably gonna do the same once it comes on steam.
>>316492347
>SJWs in Japan
It would be an spectacle.
Death by PTSD.
>>316478049
>>Assassin's Creed is dead
true
>>Halo is dead
almost true, but its still pumping revenue but its losing blood fast
>>Gears is dead
we wont know until gears 4. they can't just make a sequel to gears 3 though, there has to be something new and interesting added to lure people in
>>Fable is dead
its so dead that its hardly worth mentioning
>>Forza is dead
not true at all

I can't believe Ubisoft's only moneymaker is dead. How will they survive and fund their 1000 people teams of diverse and extremely untalented individuals who ship games with thousands of bugs?
>>316493204
Such a lust for shitposts...
>>316493254
>I can't believe Ubisoft's only moneymaker is dead. How will they survive and fund their 1000 people teams of diverse and extremely untalented individuals who ship games with thousands of bugs?

>>316479710
Smh senpai lol
>>316492906
>He doesn't know about women only trains.
>>316491356
It's the view that's becoming mainstream. I don't think we asked for video games to become the neutered hand holding abominations they are today but that's just the way the culture and the voices wanted it.
>>316492347
Excellent b8 m8 desu senpai
>>316484091
No one released the UCC numbers yet.
SMM would have been in top 10 based on SKU. This means that breaking games down by individual platform sales of the game, SMM would have charted, meaning the multiplatforms were heavily weighed in favor of PS4 for the month. Considering UCC is only one SKU, it would have still outsold SMM.
And no, actually Halo 5 has done absolutely abysmal and represents a 75% sales drop at 935k (bundles included) vs 3.3m of Halo 2, 3, 4, and Reach.
>The best-selling title of the October 2015 U.S. Games Industry Report, Microsoft's Console Software SKU 'Halo 5: Guardians,' sold a combined total of 935K including all Bundle units.
This has to be a catastrophe for Microsoft.
>>316483253
>>316491968
Finally, been waiting for someone to bring that up.
>>316494261
I don't mind women only trains in Japan, the whole train groping thing sounds creepy. But neither of us are jap or healthy of mind so our opinions are probably just about worthless on the matter.
>>316495710
No champagne this year, that's for sure.

I think they need new games. They were all last gen titles. Of course they should be put into sub-teams. I feel Prince of Persia could take advantage of the hardware, nice sand effects.
Halo is quite old, it was a tech demo for the Xbox.
Gears had the same principle, and Killzone was cocked up with SF & 4. Uncharted doesn't have Amy.
Really I just want to see new game franchises. PS4 seems keen on collaborating with japanese devs.
>>316497474
Until they get banned for uncomfortable opinions.
>>316477836
Halo bombed? Didn't Halo 5 see the biggest launch in franchise history?
I got it myself and enjoy it, but I'm waiting for big team and forge to get in before I jump back into it
>>316495710
how much do you think MS paid for the timed exclusive of tomb raider? they were hoping for it to be a system seller but it flopped hard. not only that, square might actually lose out on the deal because the game might be forgotten when it releases for full price 6months later for ps4 and pc.
>>316499285
>square might actually lose out on the deal because the game might be forgotten when it releases for full price 6months later for ps4 and pc.
SE is so fucking stupid. TR2013 actually sold a lot after price cuts.
They could have started building a huge franchise and instead they cut it down at the knees.
>>316495623
Rock Band 4 which did 80K and Yoshi which did 110K. It's sub 100K.
But please, keep crying and being overly defensive of Uncharted collection's numbers. It's a flop and Sony will really have to damage control UC4 which has already been besieged by staff leaving the project, graphical downgrades and failure to meet performance targets.
Probably will do less than the 700K Bloodborne opened with. The PS4 audience doesn't care about Sony exclusives considering their dismal performance since Driveclub only sold 84K in the whole of 2014
>>316498857
lol no, it's stat manipulating and very careful wording. it sold like shit compared to the previous halo games. halo was the franchise that pretty much made the original xbox a contender and it was a big reason why the 360 beat the ps3. that's why sony came up with killzone to compete against halo.
>>316499485
PC version is out next April as Windows 10 exclusive.
PS4 and likely NX versions out next November or December.
>>316499485
yup the 2013 one was the best selling out of all the tomb raider games. it was starting to look like a big franchise.
>>316495710
So 20m people bought Xbones and only 1 bought Halo 5? How can that be?
>>316499692
It wasn't enough for SE so they just took the MS deal to kill Tomb Raider for good. Next is Dosex
>>316499609
>NX
Why would they put Tomb Raider on a handheld?
>>316488046
They added gender identities and sexual orientations to that disclaimer starting in syndicate
WHO WOULD IMAGINE THAT PANDERING TO PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY DON'T PLAY GAMES AND GET OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING NO MATTER HOW IN LINE WITH ITS IDEOLOGIES THE THING IS WOULD BACKFIRE
the AAA casualfest model is coming to an end.
Barely any games are being made by anything that is not AAA or absolute indie trash.
AAA games are generic rehashed and bloated.
Mobile gaming is rising and devs realize they can do shit games and earn more money than pc/console titles. Its also cheaper and faster.
The crash is imminent. Games have gotten too expensive to make. In a few years we will finally have again studios of 20-50 people doing games like in the ps1 ps2 era and it will be glorious.
>>316477836
How much sold first month compared to unity
>>316477836
It'll rebound come Christmas. The kiddies were saving their money for Fallout 4 this time.
I actually had some fun with the TR reboot, but it was fucking e z mode and was just cliche all around plotwise. I am sure the next one will be fun too, but not $60 worth. Maybe we are finally hitting that point we all knew was coming where the market is getting over-saturated with the same game types coming out every 6 months, giving us no new material for all intents and purposes but still wanting upwards of $90 just to get all the content.
>>316477836
>What the fuck is going on?
The series has been shit since revelations.
(4 was ok because yar har fiddle dee dee)
If they put some fucking effort into making them fun, enjoyable titles instead of pits to throw money in, they might do a bit better.
>>316500007
>muh ass creed isn't made by good ol' atheist honkies anymore?! the humanity!
Because, my dear faggots; games these days are meant to be SOLD, not PLAYED.
You see a trailer? You see a poster? You see some marketing? GET HYPE. BUY BUY BUY!
But like all good faggots, some of you realized that Assassin's Creed Unity was dogshit. Hell, all of 4chan and the rest of the internet posted enough memes that you could stack them to the magnetosphere.
Games... these days... are dogshit, for the most part.
LETS TURN THE MIRROR AROUND SHALL WE?
Lets take From Software for example. They make fun games, they're all similar, but they hit one essential mark. They're fucking fun. Dark Souls II might not have been the dark storm of eternal glee we all hoped it would've been but Bloodborne sure was kickass.
So then ask yourself, why would anyone want to play Dark Souls III?
How about, because the track record would merit a good chance that the game wouldn't be complete dogshit.
Unity was dogshit
AC III was dogshit
AC 4 was fun to a point
No one expected Syndicate to be good. NO ONE. Everyone was waiting on new meme fodder, that and Ubisoft seemed to think it wise to release a AAA game right next to Fallout 4.
NICE MARKETING DEPT YOU GOT THERE.
>>316500923
Don't call me a faggot, you little shit.
>>316500356
The issue isn't who ISN'T developing the game. It's who IS that's the problem.
>>316500923
CoD released near Fallout 4 and it seemed to work out well. If it hadn't been for Unity, AC could've taken it and been ok despite Fallout 4
>>316477895
So, what's next after AAA games? kickstarter games?
>>316500923
>Because, my dear faggots; games these days are meant to be SOLD, not PLAYED.
Why do people buy them if not to play them? :)
