another TR flop thread without the numbers :mjlol:
i cant wait to get this game for PC. From what i hear and saw the game is amazing. I dont rly care about the sales, neither should you. Most of you are just pissed because you cant play the game or are Uncharted stans

If we're going by numbers now more than anything then I think it's time we admit that Call of Duty is better than all of your favorite games and the Wii is hands down the GOAT console last gen.

There's only unofficial reports right now.

Saying <63k in the UK. I'm not sure if there's any reports on the US. They are not official but I believe there may be some validity to the reports, especially with the type of responses the devs made online. like "sales do not reflect poorly on the development team"

Microsoft and Square Enix “very happy” with Rise of the Tomb Raider

Game seems great. They really shouldn't have released it right up against Fallout like that. Not sure if the exclusivity deal was smart either.
That's a member of the dev team. Dev teams NEVER talk sales. That's up to the publisher.

We don't know the games budget. We don't know the sales expectations, and we don't know the sales results, AND the game still has yet to make it through the holiday and a release on two other platforms.

I think it's pretty early to call it a "flop". Seem like wishful thinking for people hating on the game for no reason. :manny:

Rise of the Tomb Raider sells 2/3 less than its predecessor

Like this link here says it sold a 3rd of what it did at launch last time.

Well it's on a 3rd of the amount of platforms, so it seems sales are in line with the last game. Even better when considering install base. Tomb raider was never gonna sell as much as Fallout or COD. Using those titles as a indicator of tomb raiders success is asinine.

I don't know if it's a flop or not, or what metrics they care about. Just going by what I've read. I honestly could care less.

If it is a flop I feel bad though, because it seems like they made another great game and would like the team to be able to keep doing so.

Its blatantly a flop, anyone suggesting otherwise is delusional.

As an aside, I can't imagine any OG Tomb Raider fan wanting to play this hand-holding 'cinematic' bullshyt. :scusthov:

Why wait when you can play this now? I got a ps4 and an X1 (so no Stan shyt). I'm gonna enjoy the shyt outta this a year before y'all. That's a win to me :yeshrug:. How can you be happy waiting? I'm gonna double dip when the PC version arrives, but I couldn't wait to play it. Fallout 4 has most of my time, but I'm finishing this real soon.
Simple. Other games are out. Not everyone needs to play every release, day one. There's simply other games. Contrary to popular belief, people have options.

Its whatever at this point. I understand the animosity though. Many TR fans on playstation are understandably bitter about having to wait a year due to MS buying exclusivity to ROTR just so they can have a pissing contest with Uncharted 4. Problem was since UC4 got delayed to early 2016, there was no point to this deal.

We don't know how its well its doing in the US yet. There is a bestbuy regional manager named abidel that post on neogaf said that the game and bundles are not doing well. UK sales have shown it is significantly behind the 2013 game sales wise.

It is what it is.

MS didn't devlop the game at all. They just paid for that 1 year deal. Oh please believe Square cares about sales. It's not just about now. it's the future also. TR was joining the elite franchises again. But a poor business decision stopped momentum and may have hurt future releases down the road.

I didn't say MS developed anything. They helped square financially. Square above all things is concerned about their financial bottom line. I mean would they like good sales no doubt. But if they didn't have to use a majority of their resources on developing, promoting, etc they will take that. And they still get to release it on other platforms with higher install bases They fleeced the shyt out of Microsoft

Because I'm not going to spend another 300 bucks just to get this game early when I wasn't even blown away by the last one all like that none either and when it comes out next year on my preferred and owned console, it'll be a better version anyways and I still have mad other shyt to play up until that point, so I'm not missing out on anything by waiting for 1 other game that wasn't even that high on my radar to begin with.:yeshrug:
