Far Cry New Dawn topped the UK chart this week, but its launch week sales were a far cry (sorry) from those of its predecessors.New Dawn's sales were just...
The two female villains in New Dawn are about as threatening and menacing as a mouse with a toothpick sword. It's all part of the feminist nonsense "women can do whatever men can do" bullshit that is permeating our culture.
I find it funny personally, the amount of Women I've seen punch a bloke in the face then immediately get floored is priceless. They only want equality in certain areas XD Tough luck, equality doesn't mean cherry picking.
We are looking at an industry collapse unfold before our very eyes. Ubisofts wokeness along with Far Cry fatigue and the "more of the same" scenario are but some of the reasons for this. Anthem is also going to perform poorly and Crackdown 3 could not even "crack" the top ten. Gamers are finally talking with their wallets.........sort of.
@ultranova I imagine most MS exclusives will see less sales since game pass offers the games day one. I play Forza but didn't purchase it, nor would I have spent any money on it, so this is a big plus for them. The only game I would probably purchase is halo and gears, since they have a major online component, and I may one day decide to cancel my gamepass sub. But let's say fable comes out on game pass that's a no brainer
Far Cry 5 just one year ago sold $310m in its early launch days. Franchise best, and only behind The Division for Ubisoft's entire history. The Division 2 is seeing 6x higher preorders on PC than the original game. Assassin's Creed Odyssey outsold Origins at launch, which itself had double the launch sales of Syndicate. Crackdown 3 is the terrible sequel to the very-average Crackdown 2, which only existed because Crackdown 1 sold well for basically being a fun free game alongside the Halo 3 Beta.
Anthem I'll give to you, that sucks for no other reason than it just going in a wrong direction.
Yeah, and I'm pointing out how it's delusional to suggest there's any industry collapse through your cherry picking of (1) a spin-off no one asked for that just so happens to follow immediately after one of Ubisoft's most successful titles ever, and (2) your references of other poor-reviewed titles that function as GaaS
Yes lol because Far cry lol is the only game I am referring to lol that is performing poorly lol and pointed out its wokeness lol as the only reason its tanking lol.
I can understand why you dont get what I am saying, that usually happens when you dont read someone's post properly.
if, by "talking with their wallets", they don't want the same game reskinned over and over - yea, i agree. i don't believe this signals an "industry collapse" though.
You can't use that excuse when a game sells lower than expected because just last year FC5 physical sales were just fine
Physical sales still make up for huge portion of game sales. No doubt moving forward digital will become bigger but physical will always have its own space
we'll find out if you're right when ps5 and nextbox come - if what you say is accurate, they won't even offer physical sales - correct? btw - i don't agree with you. internet speeds are not universally fast enough everywhere for digital to be the norm.
haven't played either

Primal was something new and fresh, this new dawn is not that.
I dont doubt that it sold less, but physical sales are no longer as important in a market that is increasingly digital.
