What are you, 6? Get a PS4 like all the adults.

Haven't played Starfox, but it's a shame about Bravely Second. I'm really unsatisfied with it and it's hard for me to keep playing.

It's exactly the same as the first game with worse music and better gameplay. Granted, that's not enough to get me playing, bu my standards are pretty ridiculous.

What are the other games above them and the sales for each?

Is this supposed to be impressive? Bravely shitty being at the bottom of the top 10 game sales and starcat being in the middle is not good.

Number 9 for april doesn't sound like many people bought it.
April was not a big month for releases.

Its weird. There doesn't seem to be nearly as much hype for BS than with the first game.

When the first one came out, shit was sold out everywhere and people were streetpassing like crazy. Even older guys I knew who hadn't played games in decades picked it up. With Second though I've only gotten maybe two streetpasses at all.
>>
>>337468724
I don't know about the better gameplay, I think the dungeon designs are worse, the game flow is worse (how you collect new jobs over time) and the enemies and bosses seem more boring. (Lots of bosses seem to just be about summoning minions). The Baals are interesting but have a lot of stupid design choices, like that vial fingers boss that is basically just asking for you to use an hour long auto battle.

I'm not done with the game yet mind you, so my opinion might change, but I feel like Bravely Default progressed better, as well as having a bit more of an interesting story.

>>
>>337469127
>I think the dungeon designs are worse

Both games have 0/10 dungeons. It's 80% featureless caves.

>the enemies and bosses seem more boring

The more complex jobs make them more interesting.
>>
>>337468374
It's worth noting that those numbers are based on individual SKUs. For combined SKUs, Star Fox ranked at #10, just behind CoD and NBA, which is still somewhat impressive for a game that got average reviews:

1. Dark Souls III (PS4, Xbox One)
2. Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
3. MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
4. Tom Clancy’s The Division (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
6. Minecraft (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3)
7. Quantum Break (Xbox One)
8. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
9. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
10. Star Fox: Zero (Wii U)

How

>>337469327
That's not true. Bravely Second makes you waste time running around in empty dungeons more, usually to solve stupid switch "puzzles" that require no thought, and any dungeons that have anything interesting in them (Like traps) are just straight up copied from Bravely Default.

As for jobs that's what I'm hoping for, the current jobs I have now aren't really too interesting aside from using spell craft. I'm even just using Knight as the main job on both my melee characters just for the excellent base stats.

Maybe there was a sale or price drop in european stores or something and people with a ps3/360 version were pushed to the next gen or pc version.

>>337469542
People are still playing GTA Online and switching over to next gen, hell I bought a PS4 back in February partly just to play it again.
It's an addiction man.

I wonder why they went with giving the cowboy aimee what seems to be a joisey accent.

Not bad, but boy, is it striking.

No games were sold in April though

Star Fox Zero selling is great proof that Nintendo fags will take whatever the fuck they can get on their dust collector of a console.

That's false:

Minecraft
Quantum Break
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
NBA 2K16
Star Fox Zero

And yes, Nintendo is dead.

>>337469875
A buddy of mine has 150 actual days of playtime since january 2015.
He probably spent 500 dollars on sharkcards alone.
I dropped the game after 200 hours or so because I got bored.
Im actually worried.

That says more about April than these games.
>>
>>337470692
The article pic is referring to the top 10 individual SKUs. NPD tracks two charts for software: one for individual SKUs (software based off each console), and one for combined SKUs (all software console sales combined).

Star Fox ranked at #5 on the individual SKU chart, with Bravely Second at #9. Combined SKUs, only Star Fox charted at #10.
>>
>>337471224
I really don't want to fan the console wars flames here but I can't resist pointing out every time someone posts this they neglect to mention the lower profit was almost exactly what Nintendo themselves had forecast it would be. They knew their profit would be down like any idiot would have known because they don't have many games coming out at all compared to last year. Which is exactly what you'd expect during the run up to a new console launch.
>>
>>337472051
>ranked at #5
It sold only 100k copies, it is bombed.
>>
>>337472057
>because they don't have many games coming out at all compared to last year.

Oh really? and why is that?
>>
>>337468374

Well it makes sense considering people like buying trash.
>>
>>337472227
He literally said why that is you dumbfuck
>>
>>337472051
You can say whatever want but to be honest, i don't think it sold well.

I think it will only sell 300-350k of total lifetime sales.
>>
>>337472137
>>337472367
I'm not saying it sold well or not (don't own either personally), but there is a general confusion about how NPD charts their stuff here. Then again, this is mostly a shitposting thread so I don't know what I'm even doing lurking at this point.
>>
>>337470087
To try and get as far away from native American stuff as possible.
Imagine if they kept the original outfit and gave her some horribly stereotypical slow talking native accent.
A lot of retards would scream shit and hurt sales of the game, possibly even sue Square for it.
>>
>>337468374
>a $60 pisseasy arcade game
>a game butchered up and censored during localization
>they still sold well
Yep. Games are fucked.
>>
The only shocking thing here is that enough people enjoyed Bravely Default to buy a sequel. Halfway through the game I just turned it to easy and sped all the battles up because it was such a slog.
>>
>>337474346
Maybe if Sony actually released games lately this wouldn't happen. What an embarrassment this entire gen has been.
