Disappointing sales from TLOU. Playstation fans need to better support exclusive franchises.

600 mil for June sounds good though, what else typically releases in June?

majiebeast3926d ago (Edited 3926d ago )

Yeah 985.000 copies sold in America alone is dissapointing... It outsold Gears,Bioshock:I and Tombraider. Its the third best selling game in June since 1995.

You xbox fans better make sure Quantum Break doesnt bomb like Alan Wake finaly something else then a shooter or dudes of war.

Quit your sad trolling, NeverEndingTrolling.

Prime_283925d ago

He's got a point though, GOW: Ascension bombed and that's one of, it not, Sony's biggest franchise. PLaystation gamers don't seem to buy their exclusives much.

Lovable3926d ago

Good trolling, but ultimately fail at the end.

Master-H3926d ago

How are MS's new exclusive IPs for the 360 selling this year ?

Oh wait...

adorie3926d ago (Edited 3926d ago )

NeverEndingTrolling, you gotta do better. Your fanboyism is so freaking bad, I don't even know what to call it.

The Last of Us, while my opinion; is the best game I have played in the last few years. Gameplay, difficulty, graphics, sound, story, character development, level variation, music. It is a true jack-of-all-trades.

I think your fanboyism has prevented you from trying the game, because if you had, even your negative opinion wouldn't come off that bad. I'm optimistic enough to bet you'd enjoy it.

p.s: my first playthrough was on hard, 2nd on survivor, 3rd was on survivor+. My opinion carries weight, at least to me.

Nevermind him, he is upset cause he gets no new Ip's.

CalvinKlein3926d ago

Maybe if they would not pile up all games for the last quarter of the year it would look different.

Robochobo3926d ago

This. I don't know why publishers don't spread out the game selection, instead of bundling them together to compete with other titles.

xPhearR3dx3926d ago

Because of all the conventions. It's a good way to build a lot of hype and drive sales at the end of the year. Off the top of my head, GDC is in March, E3 is in June, SDCC is July, TGS is somewhere around September. Usually games that release over the summer, are games that were revealed a long time ago, or delayed.

@xPhearR3dx
Don't forget Gamescom in august

Campy da Camper3926d ago

Well, I'm pretty much saving up for big time spending come November. Dinking around on the Wii u until I can get my hands on that sweet ps4 and pretty much evey launch game available. I'm even sitting on my hands for GTA release with hopes for a next gen release. Any games coming out later this summer will probably drop on next gen so the drought is on lol

JohnCartenper3925d ago

You're looking at a 1500$ purchase.
Does not seem wise for untested hardware and crappy launch games at full retail price.

quantae063926d ago (Edited 3926d ago )

Isn't everybody lol. GTA V is a must have game!

Y_51503925d ago

I think I'm getting Killzone: Mercenary before it. :P

n4rc3926d ago

I'm just sort of bored with this gen, especially since e3..
Waiting on November with no plans to buy any new games for my 360 or ps3

n4rc3925d ago

Doesn't interest me..

But I love how I got 6 dislikes for that..

Electric-flamingo3926d ago

Nothing was out besides last of us. That's the last game I bought.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro6h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia5h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh4h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.
