RIP Battlefront franchise. I really thought that this action arcade game would teach EA a lesson not to release a shit game, but I doubt it with those sales.
well yeah, my family gave it to me as a present, even if I didn't want it
>>337217626
>they are going to make annual battlefronts
Hahahaha, ohhh..
EA was a mistake.
Normal vidya players were finally willing to accept that EA is a shit company but those sluts at Disney just couldn't resist EA's bid for the Star Wars license, and of course the Star Wars fandom is mostly comprised of masochists that will buy anything Star Wars related even if they hate it. Which means EA now has some success to get published literally everywhere to make all those normal vidya players believe EA must be pretty o.k. if they're so successful, right? I've met those guys who buy the sports games every year and they seriously pay no attention to gaming as an industry. They just gotta have their sports, man.
I'm not even a key demographic for any publisher anymore so who the fuck is even going to listen to me.
>there are people on /v/ who bought this
it was so fucking simplistic even in the open beta. i played it for 30 minutes and felt like i'd experienced everything the game had to offer. painfully dull, who in their right mind forked money over for this.
>>337217626
Do those sales include copies bundled with consoles?
>>337218284
>who in their right mind forked money over for this.
Most of /v/ probably did. People are just tasteless idiots.Same happened with Diablo 3.
>>337217626
How are normalfags such shiteaters? I played the beta for like 1 day and already got burnt out because of how bare bones and souless it was
>>337218409
I haven't played either.
I don't support western devs at all actually.
>>337218284
>>337218501
LITERALLY and FIGURATIVELY didn't even play the whole game and then judges it.
Cool
>>337218598
"the whole game"
sorry i didn't play the 3 other maps
>>337218598
EA shill detected
>>337217626
>shipped copies
without the report detail this article is extremely misleading.
>>337217626
ships ≠ sells
>>337218648
>>337218656
Excellent retorts.
Tell me more about the full release
>>337217626
My friends like it and they play a ton of games. Including Dark Souls series.
I never played it. What did you expect though? I'm surprised a 3 didn't come out years before. I guess Lucas Arts really was incompetent jackasses. They deserved to go out. Now EA gets to reap the plain as day obvious rewards that the Star Wars IP brings.
>>337218284
You should be more upset by the fact that people on this board give money to EA in this day and age.
>>337217626
>people eactually expected a game with "Star Wars" on the title the same year a new Star Wars movie comes out not to sell well
you fucking retards are as dumb as the people buying that game.
I had people at work who don't even like videogames buying the console + game bundle because it was the new cool thing to do becuz OMG STAR WARS!!!! XD
>>337218695
like usual

that's not at all what i implied.... holy fuck dude
>>337218892
Maybe you should stop loosely implying things and explicitly stating them in order to avoid making yourself look like a total fucking jackass.
>>337218695
Why would EA overship so much. Even if we assume it sold 10 mil it would still be a huge suceess
Currently playing the 4 hour trial, reckon I've pretty much seen the whole game
>>337217626
there is the evidence again. fresh and crispy right from the presses.
triple A big time gaming studios nowadays can literally do what they please. it's all marketing nowadays. you can sell literal shit to 12 year old "gamers" nowadays and they'll happily gargle it down and ask for more
the state of society, ladies and gentlemen
i am done with video games
>>337218952
how much are you being paid for that?
whatever EA is paying you is too much, you are making it too obvious.
turn it down a notch and try it again in another thread.
>>337218965
Because people were overly optimistic at star wars revival with the new made by committee movie.
Also EA has always been a shelf warmer, they don't aim for scarcity, they pay extra for peoplpe to put the same games on a whole line of the shelf because they know normies think "lots on shelf = this is important I must buy".
>>337219063
t. Resident Evil 6
It really is depressing
>>337217626
this story makes me so moist.
>>337219063
this. 100% true
>>337217626
How did this half-finished mess sell at all? There was more content in the fucking Battlefront 3 alpha.
>>337218695
I don't know why people always say this like they're being clever.
Even though it's shipped it's still a very good indicator of sales, they didn't just produce 14 million just to say they did. Supply and demand, the fact that they've felt the need to ship this many shows that there's AT LEAST 13 million sold and that's being generous unless you think there's 1 million lose copies of Battlefront in fucking stores.
>>337218720
>0.30 cents have been put into your account
>>337218695
Apparently it increased the userbase.
>>337219326
It sold because of star wars
I bet the servers for this are fucking empty
>>337218952
>Maybe you should stop loosely implying things
Maybe you should stop assuming things nobody ever said so you can argue against a strawman and feel great you fuckign retard
>>337217626
all about the brand. it doesnt even matter anymore if its a game or not.
>>337217626
I got 2 copies of this shitty game. One from a coworker and 1 from friends. I didnt even want it, I was playing fallout still at the time
>>337219347
>like they're being clever.
not everybody is a brain dead retards unable to read numbers and believe a college drop out blogger interpretation of them. Like you.
>>337218409
I avoided both games after playing the demo versions of them
for some reason retards thought that the full releases would be different
>>337219326
It piggy-backed off of the movie and disneys marketing leverage
That's pretty much it
>14m units shipped
>13483 people currently playing
Sounds like bullshit.
>>337219707
>not everybody is a brain dead retards unable to read numbers
But clearly you are and whatever spawned you.
> mfw I bought the $120 version and got bored and uninstalled it after a week
Fuck me.
Will /v/ ever be right about ANYTHING? Every game this board hates sells well and/or is critically acclaimed, and the few games that are liked are acknowledged by everyone who isn't autistic to be complete shit.
>>337219886
>spending 120$ on a SINGLE video game
What the fuck
>>337219901
/v/ was right in that it's shit and shipped with a very small amount of content tho
>>337219792
14M shipped to stores. Less then half would of been purchased by a gamer. The rest will stay in the back until they go on discount and sell.
Your local shop probably has two cases on display but twenty copies in the back room. Net time someone walks in/out sneak a peek to see what i mean.
>>337219792
Some people buy games just to own things, not going to say this game actually sold through 14 million but it isn't far fetched that a large number of people spent $60+ dollars got their fanservice starwars and went on with their lives.
>>337219964
/v/ calls every game shit.
>>337220536
Western games are shit
>>337217626
I bought it for 35$ and enjoyed it for what it was worth, what are you gonna do faggots.
>>337219063
See you tomorrow.
>>337219901
>core gamers don't like casual shit
>call it out on being shit
>goes on to sell well to casual fucks
>somehow this means the game was actually good
The game is shit and there's probably less than 1% of those 14 million people actually still playing the game
>>337220658
Not nearly as shit as jap crap. While the west is putting out Uncharted 4, the east has given us Star Fox Zero.
>>337220962
>the west put out a movie
Oh wow so impressive.
>>337220962
Star Fox Zero is a western game. Just because it was made by Japs doesn't mean it's Jap game
>>337220662
>remark about buying game
>remark about buying western game
>remark how western games are bad
Thing is, I'm so skeptical of everything; when something good comes out or something lots of people want does, I start asking questions immediately.
I never buy games day 1.
>>337220662
why do people use manga faces?
>>337220662
>HAHAHHAHAH! TAKE THAT!
>I PAID $35 FOR THIS BAG OF SHIT! AND I ENJOYED IT!
>WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
>HAHAH IM SO SMUG
>>337221093
>not using smug anime face
>>337217626
the schlock that spawned the game is the third-highest grossing film of all time, so it's hardly surprising the crematoria kindling lap it up
>>337221093
Because it upsets people
>>337219475
14k total on average among all platforms
bought it on the recent sale for 20€, 15€ should be its actual price for what is worth
>>337221206
>>337221328
ok but how it started and why i meant
>>337221393
Do you not know why 4chan was made
>>337217709
>here's your present, son
>it's a game of that star trek stuff you like
>but dad, it's star wars and I don't even like any SciFi
>SHUT UP, NERD
>>337220962
smell NEOFAG
>>337217626
>people are actually buying this shit
>people are supporting EA, the ever-growing tumor of the video game industry
disgusting.
>>337221432
no i just started browsing and maybe someone will have told me yet why always people use manga faces for reaction
also what is that uncoloured manga face where she is breathing heavily with that look in her eyes
>>337221219
>is the third-highest grossing film of all time
It didn't become number 1?
>>337217626
>go in to second hand game store
>literally an entire shelf of battlefront
Game lasts all of 5 minutes before you realise how shallow it is.
>>337217626
>14m copies
And yet, here is how many people are playing, note the 24h peaks.
Thank you DICE for having a public API for every game since BC2
>>337221393
it used to be normal reaction image like everything else but then the normalfags started coming to 4chan and hating everything japanese so now it's used to upset them.
>>337221635
>Manga face
Well I mean at least you're in the right step.
>>337218587
I bet you buy Squeenix and Atlus games which are just as bad.
>>337222634
Happens with every game not called Call of Duty.
>>337217626
Non-GAAP.
That's pretending to make a profit while actually making a loss. Have these people learned nothing from Enron, Valeant etc.
>>337223041
No, not every game loses 99.9% of its user base in 6 months.
BF4 "shipped" 7 million copies, is nearly 3 years old and has 149,003 players in the past 24 hour peaks.
2% over 3 years vs 0.1% over 6 months. This is not a natural decline like you want to pretend, Battlefront is a perfect case for a special level of shit that no one wants to stick around with.
Hit post too soon.
>casualest battlefield to date sells like hotcake
that doesnt bode well for the next entries
prepare for 6 guns and a 3 accessories
>>337223370
>Le it's a battlefield clone meme xD
Would you retards who never played it/never played Battlefield stop saying this. This game would have been better off had it actually been a battlefield clone. It doesn't have the variety of maps, weapons, gadgets, vehicles, etc.
>>337217626
>Bluray player sold the most this gen
You figured this out just now?
>>337220536
Well, they were right about this trash.
>>337218145
>I've met those guys who buy the sports games every year and they seriously pay no attention to gaming as an industry. They just gotta have their sports, man.
Honestly it's understandable, have you seen the gaming idustry who would want to look at such a shitshow ?
Those people are far from the worst in video games at least they don't bitch about politics, not to mention when devs cater to them we get football and shooter games with white heroes not sjw walking simulator bullshit
You can't blame anyone for not following "gaming" trends, everything regarding gaming is cancerous and any normal person is better off not paying attention, in fact i only missed click on /v/ i'd never actually browse this board
>>337221328
And it works.>>337221137
Also people here complaining about this unironically bought Overwatch and shill it.
>>337223447
doesnt matter what it is
they'll align their other titles with their more successful one
>>337219080
>>337219479
>I haven't experienced 'Y' but only 'X'
>I will make a comment on 'Y' as if I understand it, despite that fact that it is 'X'
>HOW DARE YOU REFUTE ME, YOU MUST BE A SHILL FUCK OFF FUCK OFF
Literally fucking retarded.
>>337224161
Did you misquote or are you just a moron
>>337217626
And you niggers actually thought this pile of shit wouldn't sell. I'm having a good laugh right now.
>get Battlefront for half-pric ein the promotion last week
>been playing for hours every day, now the game have more big maps for free, 7 instead of the starting 4
>more content for free like weapons, skins and cards
Having fun mates, I'm glad I've bought for the PS4 so the game have a really health playerbase and no hackes, and local co-op unlike the poor PC versionAlso my gf loves this game also, great to play together
>>337217998
I thought they were just going for annual Star Wars games, not exclusively Battlefront.
>>337218501
It's a fun arcade shooter with genuinely authentic-looking Star Wars locations, characters and weapons. That's all it is and that's all Battlefront 1 and 2 ever were.
If you don't like it, don't play it. There's no need to be a cunt about it
>>337218748
/v/ is dead. let it go anon.
>>337218795
this is so disgusting
>>337225795
Battlefront 1 had tacticool rolls and you could move in and out of cover at a decent pace.
I never enjoyed Heroes and I never will. Worst part of BF2.
>>337218284
Its funny because its happening again with Overwatch lol
>>337221206
>anime
>>337224318
You're just as applicable as the other.
Kill yourself.
battlefront was one of the best games in 2015, sorry to hear you have such shit taste
>>337217709
I know that feel broI got the game barely a month after the release when it was 60 €, even though I stated once or twice that the game was mediocre at bestthey didn't even put the ticket so I couldn't refund it because "they told us it was an awesome game"
>>337217626
shipped =/= sold
Both people I knew who bought it were pissed off it was online only and had fuck all single player, and I'd wager a good majority of people who bought it didn't know that either.
I can probably guess that the next installment won't sell nearly as well given this contempt.
>>337217626
How could such a thing happen
I'm aware /v/ is an echo chamber of angry manchildren, but this game legit seemed to be shat on by the entire fucking internet
Who even bought this shit
>>337217626
>tfw you know that the next one is going to be called star wars battlefront 2
>>337217626
It's a good game. Why do people hate it so much?
>>337217626
>coworker asked me if I was going to get Battlefront
>tell them no that it's a ripoff and I've been done playing DICE games since the ripoff that was BF3
>"DICE? Dude no it's EA that's making it. Plus it's Star Wars so it's like going to be my childhood in video game form"
>>337227014
>smug
I bought it
I'm 30+ years old and casual as shit
I thought it was good because the engine was slick and rather polished
I didn't realize how anemic it would actually be
>>337229404
I used to look at video games like thatI wish I still did. I don't enjoy anything anymore ;__;
>>337230027
also I just want to say I have a renewed burning hatred for EA
>>337229404
Good God.
>>337225795
Authentic as in hoth map missing the fucking point of the battle of hoth or how snow speeders do not need co pilots
>>337230027
>>337230218
You lost blood while playing the game?
>>337218284
It´s happening again with overwatch. It´s like you can buy people on /v/ with the cheapest tricks like waifus
>>337230741
nothing wrong with sexims
>>337230741
Anything with waifu tricks /v/ dick.
