They only mentioned physical sales.
How's the sales digitally on PC? And if you said they dropped the price, mabye now I can buy it.
That level of positivity is something else man. After I unleashed on its failures and flaws, your takeaway was the price drop! 😂
God bless you Sam, your optimism is infectious. In such a cynical world, it's easy to forget the passion behind an honest fan. Misguided as it may be towards an EA product, it warms the heart nonetheless. Please stay this positive, we need it on this site 🤠
Here's my deal.
I was once like all of you. I hated how video games are and where they might head to. I was there when everyone was raging on infamous games like Dragon Age 2 and Resident Evil 6 for being either dumbed down for filthy casuals or changing its gameplay to such a way as to appeal to the Call of Duty crowd.
But then something happened. I think it began with the outrage received at Mass Effect 3. Now at that point in time I never even played a single Mass Effect game because I was in my hardcore RPG grognard phase that thinks RPGs are dumbed down and won't ever achieve the depth and complexity of games like Morrowind and Baldur's Gate and the sequels to Mass Effect in 2 and 3 I heard were even more dumbed down compared to the first game. I was there when I thought AAA publishers are ruining gaming and Indie gaming is our salvation, especially when the whole kickstarter/steam greenlight thing was huge.
Then I actually played the Mass Effect trilogy and now its one of my most liked games and I wish for a remaster already. And soon I learned to accept some games from these AAA publishers. I even decided to fully get into World of Warcraft again despite how "the older days were far better" heck after Resident Evil 6 they finally went back to their horror roots in Resident Evil 7 and now remaking Resident Evil 2.
While looking at the Indie gaming side of things I feel they did worse because these are the guys that are suppoesd to be above and beyond the AAA devs, actually cares about Game quality, and the customers.
But then the sheer amount of Kickstarter and Greenlight failures happened, espceially some games I was looking forward to never even got out and are still in development.
Its at this point that I feel I just dont' care anymore about the plight of us gamers and just want to buy and play whatever I think looks cool or fun. I don't need to go on a forum and ***** and moan about games these days anymore. My wallet is enough.
And today I feel Battlefield 5 looks more fun then Fallout 76. I'll still wait until they fix all the bugs though, because knowing EA today at least they do fix their bugs overtime.
