You know, Miles, this statement is kinda silly given the ceiling is theoretically unknown. Saying "25K+ isn't impressive" is strange because "25K+" doesn't really say anything. It's vague as fuck. Could be 25001. Could be 75000.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up around 35K, but I just found that statement kinda silly
It's not necessarily about the game's potential sales ceiling, it's more about heaping praise on a game reaching number one when it only took 25k+ sales to reach that spot.
This February isn't exactly competitive by any stretch, so looking at a game reaching number one and suggesting it's good is perhaps somewhat missing the forest for the trees...
And I think we can say with some certainty that any ceiling on the games sales is pretty low compared to some numbers being thrown around. Although I am more than open to be proven wrong, I'd love for the game to have sold between 75k - 100k, but I'm also a realist and know that's somewhat unlikely...
Are you forgetting that Evolve exists? The game that is still getting ads by Microsoft during TV breaks or flooded the London metro stations with ads?
That actually should have said first exclusive big hitter. My apologies, was on my phone and must have forgotten to add that part to the post.
Gotta find some way of downplaying and/or bashing the game. It's normal when it comes to the Order
Yes, I've been going out of my way to downplay or bash the game. I'm sure you could go through my post history and find dozens post doing exactly that instead of trying to argue that a short game isn't the end of the world and we shouldn't judge if a game is worth buying just because of how long it is.
Don't be so quick to label any perceived negative comments about the game as a knock against the game.
