Black Friday didn’t seem to help Rise of the Tomb Raider (14) rebound in sales, as reported by GFK Chart-Track, as PlayStation 4’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (6) surpassed it with a 999% sale increase.
Meanwhile, FIFA 16 (1, 2, 12 and 16) managed to reclaim the top spot on the charts, thanks to a range of different bundle deals. And while both Star Wars: Battlefront (3 and 7) and Fallout 4 (8 and 9) dropped in ranks, the former managed to sell more than the average blockbuster loss in the second week while the latter actually increased total units sold from last week.
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

SE must be really upset about the retail performance of Tomb Raider.Its their own fault for releasing it against top AAA software and only on 1 platform.
Of course
Good sales numbers all around, with the PS4 killing it. Glad gamers are buying games.
Tomb Raider bombed a bit but it was more than expected...
No matter how much money they got for Tomb raider from Microsoft, this is now looking like a major major flop in terms of sales.
Great to see the Uncharted collection is selling good
