Left Alive Is Already 60% Off In Japan, Sold Less Than 70% Shipment In Debut Week

Left Alive is a new game from Square Enix which is set in the Front Mission universe. The game has opened to the lowest debut among the series and failed to sell even 30% of its shipment in Japan.

Ouch. This game seems like a definite train wreck. Definitely seems like the worst game of this year and possibly the generation

@Kashima
"You mean Anthem, Left Alive is AA and have way less budget at least"

I agree. I would also put Crackdown 3 on the list even though it's an Xbox exclusive. The worse first party exclusive of the year imo with a 57 metacritic score https://www.metacritic.com/... . Left Alive is not an exclusive since its also on PC. But left alive is bad and we should blame Square Enix

[Kribwalker]

if you are calling crackdown 3 an exclusive, and then go on to quote the PC Version score, How do you not consider left alive exclusive? You literally contradict yourself in your own post. Left alive is currently sitting at a 39 on meta, and that’s with A PS fan site inflating the score with its 70/100
https://www.metacritic.com/...

You can’t use the AA excuse when, at least on launch day, this was a full price game. It’s a full priced game, it should be a full experience

Crackdown 3 is on PC too though.

And where does it state that Left Alive is only a double A title? When did that rule take effect?

All Xbox first party exclusives are on PC now. Window 10/Xbox exclusive. One big family right? Left Alive is not a first party exclusive but Crackdown 3 is.

@Krib

I played the PC version? Crackdown 3 user score is 4.5 from Xbox fans. I played this game for free and still moved on. I guess when Days Gone get a higher review score It will be interesting to see what you come up with.

@NarutoFox you either embrace the exclusive concept as it is now for all games or don't apply it for all games, dude.

Left Alive is a PS4 console exclusive, and a PC title, as much as Crackdown is both. The only difference is that one is third-party and the other isn't, but in the end they work the same way.

[Segata]

Left Alive, Quiet Man & Tomb Raider. Square has had some real bombs within the last year. Funny enough the games that are doing the best are its RPGs like Dragon Quest & Octopath and Kingdom Hearts.

[RedDevils]

I thought Crack down 3 was train wreck?

Really disappointed in what I've been hearing, because I was looking forward to this game. Front Mission is one of my favorite series going back a really long way. I'll probably still try it out at some point, but I'm not going to rush to get around to it.

[isarai]

Shame, it all sounded really cool, but the more i seen of it the more i slowly backed away from it. Just didn't seem that interesting, and they barely showed off the key selling point of this game, the mechs. Which is a huge red flag IMO when they tout a selling point but never really show it off.

[Tapani]

They should have just made Front Mission 6, a true sequel to the fifth.

[Chocoburger]

I really wish this game was good. There haven't been any more great stealth action games since Phantom Pain.

Square-Enix rushed this game out one year early. I guess they didn't like what they saw, panicked and shoved it out the door to die. S-E needs to be more like current Capcom and give games time to become excellent, like Monster Hunter World, RE2, and DMC5.

What a shame, there was some real potential here.

[RememberThe357]

Can we safely say that SE is trash at this point? Not all their games, just the publisher as its own entity.

[TheGoodestBoi]

I remember people pooping all over me because I said it looks generic, especially know it all Abrieal. Lol what a dunce.
I stand corrected it's actually garbage https://n4g.com/news/220519...

[RememberThe357]

Nah bro you have a nice agree/disagree ratio right there. People were hopeful, but it's Square and they might as well be the EA of Japan.

[Araragifeels]

Lately Square Enix have been making mediocre games.

[Psychonaut]

This game reminds if Windback and Metal Gear had a secret child. I'll pick it up when its cheap. I enjoy bad games.

[AK91]

That is still too expensive for the game.

[TheGamez100]

Ugh. 2019s at a wierd start. Complete letdowns like this, kh3, jump force, anthem, and crackdown 3. Thankfully we have Re2 and dmcv thats helped. Soon we'll have days gone and sekiro. And who knows if division 2 will be great. Square really needs to step up their game. Most of their games have been so underwhelming for years now.
