or they didnt provide the missing features PC gamers wanted. So the community spoke accordingly.I dont understand how it could do so poor on the PC. Less than a 1000? Doesnt even make sense. Been a top seller at sites like GMG constantly.
And even considering the campaign is supposed to be great. Might just be encountering a major wave of FPS fatigue if this is the case.

Yeah highly doubt that. We live in a world where CoD will sell truckloads no matter what. Something else is at work here.
Lmao 1000 sales on PC? Jesus.

It's missing some features that are make or break for a lot of PC gamers. Overwatch lacks some of them too but has a functioning party system, spectating, competitive matchmaking and can get away with it because it's a Blizzard game; their first new IP in 17 years too. It's also an Origin exclusive and the only franchise that can get away with it because of its legacy released a new game a week prior to Titanfall 2.

Companies spend millions of dollars on development then for some reason lack foresight on this release date. Then when the sequel comes and guts everything fans loved they will blame it on everything but the damn release date and lack of awareness of other games.
Would imagine the situation is only going to get worse as, by attempting to court the COD playerbase with their gameplay changes, they've already lost a portion of their original supporters and will see another segment leave when a new COD is an option.

Specifically talking about the PC version. You wonder why PC sales are dead? Thats the reason.Yeah highly doubt that. We live in a world where CoD will sell truckloads no matter what. Something else is at work here.
Respawn should've stuck with MS. That's where the audience was. Game is dead. RIP,
I don't think it is this simple unfortunately. It isn't like the Xbox fanbase stuck around. Something has turned people away. Whether not liking the first game or not liking the changes from the first game to the second game to the launch date. Probably a combination of all three.
somebody hasn't been paying attention
Honestly, I cancelled my COD preorder after playing Titanfall 2, and I now really regret getting Battlefield 1.Would imagine the situation is only going to get worse as, by attempting to court the COD playerbase with their gameplay changes, they've already lost a portion of their original supporters and will see another segment leave when a new COD is an option.

Don't think that would have done a thing. The first game tainted it too much and they didn't do anything to let people know how much more complete this sequel is.
I tried to get my group of friends who played TF1 together on PC to pick up this with me and every single one of them said no they're not paying full price for half a game again.
seems like you're judging this based on the beta, which was not representative of the final game. take a look in the ot, people who played the first generally love this one too.

He probably means marketing push, awareness, bundles etc that would've come with Microsoft exclusivity.Right....because the game is no longer on Xbox now or something?
I'm confused.
You underestimate how many people buy games because they're exclusive. There's a lot of dumbass fanboys out there.Right....because the game is no longer on Xbox now or something?
I'm confused.
Damn come on i really hope TF2 sells a ton.
Funny call of Duty will sell millions smh.
Same here regarding Battlefield 1. I wonder how many people are in the same position but don't have the income to buy TF2 to know any better. That just leads back to the awful-timing-by-EA argument though I guess.
Acronyms were a mistake.

Does this also take into account it came out on Friday? The first one was a Tuesday I believe.
RoTTR (PS4) bombed in UK, and it looks like it's doing worse than XB1 version. But it has nothing to do with "alienating PlayStation Nation" (I hope), it just has no buzz or hype around it, after all this is a 1 year old port.
I think FPS fans (the ones these publishers depend on) are tired of future/Sci-Fi shooters. It's just a hard sell unless you have a big name or big, big developer behind it (Bungie) who has acquired loyalists. Infinite Warfare is going to bare the brunt of this after Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, and yet another future shooter.
I think this is a little melodramatic.
I had no idea TF2 was even out until a day ago. I can't claim to have been following its development closely, but I saw no previews, no status updates, no hype whatsoever, and now it's like...just here. In the midst of a ton of other high profile shooters.
I really think the game will be fine long term, it's too good to fall by the wayside. In any event, I plan to play it until there's a 3, and my friends are hooked too.
