From Native Monster:
"Nintendo has announced that the Wii U has sold more than 10 million units. Is it me, or is that actually pretty good?
"Clearly this isn't even in the same ballpark as the Wii was, but it's not a million miles behind the Xbox One. In fact it's barely even a million units behind the Xbox One."
Mark from WellPlayed writes about five game launches that were impacted by unfortunate scheduling.
Zero Dawn sold really well so I’m not sure this belongs. The second game released next to a big game again and it hurt it some I forget what it was though, oh yeah Elden Ring .
But a good game is a good game to me I don’t care when they release personally but they do have to think about it when you want to get more people to buy it.
The Survivor Trilogy was a drastic reimagining of Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, and it provokes changes for the character that are truly fantastic.
Deserves less IMO, i think the 1st in the new trilogy was a perfect 1st step for the new direction. The next 2 games were half steps at best. Not only that, every character in the series including Lara is just annoying and doesn't make sense in terms of motive, like yes they have a motive, but none of it seems proportional to the lengths they are willing to go through for it. The most annoying thing is every one of the games say "become the Tomb Raider" yet 3 games later and we're still not there? No thanks. Then there's the mess of the 3rd game, massive skill tree that serves almost no purpose as there's literally only like 3-4 short encounters in the whole game, and they took till the 3rd game to finally manage some decent puzzles even remotely close to previous games in the series. Nah, the trilogy infuriated me to no end as a long time fan of the series, i hope we get better going forward cause that crap sucked.
Yeah...no
It was awful, for THREE GAMES it was "become the Tomb Raider" where she went back to square one after each game. Not to mention after a huge reaction of killing someone for the first time she then becomes Rambo straight after and goes on a slaughter spree without a single other reaction. Her development was all over the place.
She was whiney, weak and in later game a little arrogant and selfish
Oh and the voice actress compared to the previous ones was not as good
Lara Croft deserved better and while they are decent games as they are, we deserved actual Tomb Raider games, we could have had better survival games if they just stuck with the original Lara Crofts origin about her plane going down. Surviving 2 weeks in the Himalayas...I'd have liked to seen that, who knows what mystical threat she could have faced in the mountains or underground some secret concealed cave.
2013 I thought was a fine entry, but Rise and especially Shadow were painfully mediocre follow ups imo, I really didn't like how selfish and angry her character was in those two.
First one was decent, played through it twice.
Second one was okay, played through it once.
Third one was really bad, tried twice a year apart, still can't get through the first two hours, it is just really bad.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
Debatable
The Wii U was out a year before both the PS4 and Xbox One and by now it has only sold 10 million units. That's not very good when compared with the Wii. You're supposed to increase your sales of a new console, not the other way around. Just look at what the PS4 and Xbox One did after their counterparts.
Plus, software sales are abysmal for almost every third-party game ever released on the Wii U. The system was a failure, and continues to be. Aside from some of the great titles released over the past year, it's still not doing well at all.
The Gamecube was better than the wii u imo
You call Wii U being the worst selling console is doing well? How low are your standards? Not only are the hardware sales low, but these are also the lowest total software sales a Nintendo has ever had for a console.
Xbox One sold 13 million in 1.5 years, Wii U would be lucky to reach that in 3 years
The Wii U has only sold 10 million units. Stop saying it's doing well. The PS4 and Xbox One are beating it and they have been on the market a shorter amount of time.
Talk about IP's, toys to life, or anything you can scramble up, numbers don't lie. The Wii U is a financial failure when compared to its contemporaries.
