What went wrong?

Nothing.

>" In addition, XCOM 2 has surpassed 500,000 copies sold in less than a week. This figure puts it well beyond what XCOM: Enemy Unknown achieved in the same timeframe despite being available on three platforms."
Too few repeating digits I bet
>>329668641
i'm waiting till the xpac to buy
>>329668641
Not every game needs to sell millions of copies to be a financial success for the creators.
>>329668641
I'm still waiting for the ineviatable DLCs and patches to buy it as a full package
>>329670071
I hear ya buddy
>>329668641
Real question is when the graph went down at certain intervals? Refunds happen at rates of 25 thousand?
>>329670196
they always include base game+expansion for equal or lesser price than the base game was originally, and it grinds my gears.
>>329670310
There's uncertainty in the data, but you don't see it in the graph
>>329668641
For a turn based strategy game those numbers don't look at all bad to me. This isn't some Squeenix or Ubisoft game with horrendously bloated budgets.
I would imagine Enemy Unknown's sale number weren't that good on launch either, but Steamspy reports it selling 3 million copies to date
>>329668641
A pc only game that is almost a niche genre today?
Nothing at all, this looks pretty good actually.

>X Pac was a professional wrestler most famous in the mid 90s
>was trying to make a pun
>but i agree with you regardless.
>>329670778
>>329670661
see
>>329670683
Honestly, I don't see how can the game get over 1M at this point. Sales, maybe.
>>329670925
>yfw Xpac tore his asshole going for a bronco buster
It's a fairly niche game, and it didn't blow a huge wad on a marketing budget, so I imagine they've made decent bank with the sales that they did make
>>329670942
It will definitely push over that with sales.
>>329670310
Has literally nothing to do with refunds. The statistics they gather are estimates and it fluctuates wildly.
Perfect casual filter that hurts the game scores.
>>329668641
The only thing that went wrong is the workshop community being a bunch of lazy cucks
>5-6 voice packs
>most of them shit save bob Ross and Rick Sanchez
>most the other mods are casual 'no timers' 'increased crit chance' 'new broken class' 'any class any weapon' bullshit that fucks the game up
The death from above tattoo mod is great
The star wars helmets are pretty cool. made a guy whose background is that he's a total loser who's ayy lmao dreams came true.
>>329671129
All the new XCOMs were made for casuals.
>>329670942
They've already said it sold more than EU in the same timeframe. EU had very healthy lifelong sales, a lot of people familar with Firaxis know that it's pretty safe to ignore the inital release and wait for sales, patches and expansions.
>>329671213
>its accessible
>BOOOO HISSSSS BAN THIS CASUAL FILTH
it's not bad, the long war mod actually makes enemy within less fun and I've been a fan of the series for a long fucking timefight me faggot
Its shit that runs like shit and is buggy as fuck?
>>329671213
Have you been on the steam forums? People literally crying about muhh lancers,sectoids, turn limits and huge difficulty spikes.
>>329671304
I'm just stating a fact, everyone who's been following the development knows this
>>329671329
People cry about almost every single game.
>>329670071
What if they make more than one?
>>329670326
> it grinds my gears.
Why?
The game gets older and worth less, the expansion is not standalone and derivative of already done and chashed in work; both are worth distinctly worth less than full price, together they might be.
This is not just he law of the market but also how reality works, any work not for the ages is worth most when it is new, if that bothers you then buy a year later, if that bothers you too, you have a first world problem.

>Biggest PC exclusive in the past couple years
There is plenty wrong with you, senpai.
>>329671213
Definitely more manageable than the OG MicroProse series but far from "casual" bait. Like Dark Souls, it gets touted as the hardest game ever by those who never experienced a time before GameFaqs.com and hand-holding tutorials. In reality, they are just better balanced in favor of the CPU and punish stupidity. I had minimal problems in X:COM EU and when something went wrong, it was mostly my own damn fault.

Never head that one before---source me.
i don't get /v/ sometimes, one day everyone thinks that sale numbers mean nothing, the other everyone waves sale numbers around like it's their cocks
>>329672345
how do you not get it? There are different people in different threads and a shit ton of different opinions exist on this site. Seriously, how can you NOT get it? it is VERY VERY easy to understand.
>>329672345
>implying /v/ is one person
>implying shitposters do not just use whatever is convenient to justify their shit posting
Welcome to /v/. You're going to hate it here.

You probably cannot get worse "opinions" than on /v/.

Neogaf is down right now so all the sonyggers come here instead to make their 'muh saels!' threads
