Sonic Riders was so much better aesthetically than some overdone karts.

It will probably sell more copies with bundles than actual purchases.

This should not have been a soulslike

That was a good decision. They made enough games and it never caught on like that. Also Halo CoD and later BF were all hot.

A lot of bad takes

@Decoy_Snake Sonic X Shadow wasn’t held up as the “game of the year” nor was it the face of a console publisher.

Also Imagine of if all the people complaining about concord and live service games online actually bought Astrobot. Doesn’t look like people put their money where their mouth was.

@Nintendo4Sonic Characters aren’t enough at this point. Especially when most of these characters were in other Tenkaichi games, that gimmick doesn’t hit the same.

The only real offline modes are:

Episode “story” battles. which has a bunch of boring sideshows. Also didn’t use any of the GT or Movie things, yet it’s still somehow quantity over quality and padded out.

Custom battles…with no voice acting, unnatural dialogue, and pretty much no real animation.

The game lacked fun modes with replay value. Customization is barebones.

Online doesn’t have crossplay or rollback and it was filled with exploits.

Game was a disappointment to me personally. Very barebones game content wise. Also for a game that sold 5 million copies they have done practically the bare minimum support wise.

@ashipaw Shadows will sell. And Nioh had a European protagonist, did you care about that?

@Mintie well it’s too late lol…people have already beaten the game on it, that’s how far it’s come.

Why didn’t you support the game push square commenters?

People still think PS5 is powerhouse based on 2018 architecture lol

It’s a success but 2 million isn’t massive.

@czDante92 yet they keep porting anyway lol

@xDD90x If Returnal and Ratchet can get ported I don’t see why Astro is off the table.

@breakneck Frontiers was successful because people liked the game. If what you said was true sales would’ve dropped off.

Switch wasn’t even that dominant sales wise for either of these games also. PlayStation actually had a higher percentage of buyers at least at launch for both games.

Also the game dropped the same week as god of war ragnarok.

PlayStation players love sports games and multiplayer shooters more than anything.

@breakneck if you actually read the reviews, people took points away because the original generations wasn’t updated enough…

Not because of “Shadow Generations” itself.

@naruball lol How does people waiting until a game is free or buying it for 5 dollars truly help a company? That’s barely any actual profit made.

And that’s not even happening to that big of a degree either. Always the same cod gta fifa madden etc on the charts and occasionally a new title or 2 will make it and then immediately fall off the charts the next month.

These smaller games virtually make no difference in the long run to these companies. They all want 5-10 million sellers minimum

@naruball When it comes to multiplayer games on this site in particular they don’t.

“Nobody wants live service” meanwhile the entire top 10 games are almost all live service games, sports games and shooters. While people celebrate 1 million sales games as “mega hits”

@PorkChopExpress People love to talk big on the internet but they clearly are not the majority. The average gamer doesn’t care about these types of games at all.

Push Square commenters told me this game wouldn’t last a month.

@naruball a phone is infinitely more valuable than a limited headset you can’t even take out the house. Phone has internet,camera,you can write,music,Netflix etc

Most can’t afford it, and even if they can almost nobody wants to spend hundreds on a headset.

This game needs more maps modes and customization, it’s still barebones after 4 months.

People in the UK don’t buy games like that. Their sales are always pitiful.

Will not make the same mistake with a PS6.

@Llamageddon someone in that age bracket would have grown up on PS3 Wii or Xbox 360 and probably had a PS4.

@RoomWithaMoose you could say that about traditional games also but nobody ever does.

When a game like rebirth or Alan wake underperforms, nobody ever says making games like that is less viable.

It’s mostly the same people buying PlayStation.

How many people who had a PS5 didn’t have a PS1 or PS2,etc? Probably a tiny minority.

A lot of people are salty this game is successful because it proved their narrative wrong about multiplayer games.

These new games should be selling more. People in the UK don’t buy games like that.

This game and Marvel Rivals both are proved that people not wanting live service games is false.

Game still should have sold more copies.

This game needs more content and fixes faster

Push square commenters told me this is saturated genre nobody wants

@z0d15g0d overwatch feels way more polished. This is fun for what it is but it’s not THAT game.

A lot of people here want to buy their heads in the sand. almost EVERYONE wants their games on PC now for a reason.

Sony will never will surpass what the PS2 sold.

Juice was a good kid,rip to him.

@AhmadSumadi a decent chunk of those were forced bundles when it was still hard to get a PS5…it’s going to be basically impossible for forbidden west to match the sales of the first game.

I think Horzion 3 will sell even less.

This ip has already peaked with the first game

How many copies has it sold by this point?

This will flop

Should have remade the first game

That means nothing for long term sales though. It will sell significantly less than PS4 Pro

@PuppetMaster define “well”. These are average numbers at best. Especially for a 94 meta game,that everyone on the internet said they “wanted more of”, yet only like 1 in 60 PS5 owners bought the game.

Any half decent game with a name can sell a million copies these days,that’s the floor now.

@dark_knightmare2 1.5 million sales isn’t a hit by any metric and I’ve never heard Sony call this game a hit. It already fell off every chart, so what legs?

In 2024 that’s not impressive numbers.

Just a PS3 theme from 2010

i'm good, i see nothing worth playing on it to buy it

Best time to get it was at launch where it was a much better value for $500. You’re paying that for 4 year old hardware now
