Now I'm going to do it every time.

thorstein12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

To be clear, most people toss it, then extract so that the ship launches in a fireball. . . And no one dies.

But since videogamer has highlighted the trolling so more will do it, I wrote my comment to troll videogamer.

That's a huge troll. I'd be pissed lol. My crew just through all of our gems before boarding just to pad our kill counts a bit. Sentry's and Orbital laser will bump that count up 20 or so. Not that it matters. We just do it for bragging rights lol.

No need to over react, just kick that person or remember his name and avoid him next time.

I want zero complaints if the next COD is trash as you all bought it.

Good to see ff7 performing 🏆
HD2 smashing records! I hope it motivates other studios to bring on some decent similar games.
Also miss some good FPS

Okay. NOW can we stop with the whole 'Rebirth was a flop' chatter? Still selling remarkably well after two months.

RpgSama1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It might have had a lower out of the gate sales than the first one, but kind of makes sense considering how front loaded I'm sure that one must have been, the anticipation was through the roof after many years and many teases of an actual remake.

This one will have long legs, I'm sure of it.

It's not a flop but Square isn't celebrating its sales one bit, and DD2 launched nearly a month later but outsold it immediately in the US. Who would've predicted that two months ago?

If you're Square, you're panicking, and that's why we got the news yesterday of them changing their approach to development.

Hofstaderman1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Square traditionally has insane sales expectations. How will releasing this on XBOX that has moved so little consoles and historically moves so little Square titles help this game's sales?
There seems to be a deliberate dialogue that is trying to be spread that this game is a conmercial failure. Articles like these prove otherwise.
And by the way the third game will also be Sony console exclusive, this was confirmed already. I will be buying a PS6 for that.

Einhander19721h ago

There is so much misinformation, there was a double pack which in the first month contributed to around 40% of the total sales but that was rarely included or pointed out in charts like this.

The truth is it's sold on par when you consider that this game has released much earlier in the console cycle.

NotoriousWhiz1h ago

Isn't FF7 part 3 supposed to launch in 3 years or so? If it does, I can guarantee they'll release it on the PS5 to take advantage of that install base. They will not want to release on a fresh gen with a low install base.

They had been talking about their changes though for awhile. Well before rebirth released

Einhander1972

Absolutely but all the naysayers are forgetting this or flat-out leaving that info out because they have a motive.

Tacoboto23m ago

Square announces cuts and cancellations and you all still defend them.

Why waste your energy when even Square won't?

I've been trying to tell people. Rebirth while a huge game was released in a very busy few months for jrpgs. I seen mad people say they'd get rebirth after granblue relink and others. It'll have legs.

rlow126m ago

Nobody said it was a flop prior to Square coming out and saying it under performed. Even then Square never said it flopped just didn’t perform up to expectations.

After calling sales of Tomb Raider a disappointment I’m not sure what they would consider a success.

Possibly GTA numbers?

I plan to get Rebirth but my backlog is to big for a 100 hour RPG so didn't buy it yet but I will. I think many others in the same situation.

No, Helldivers 2 will never need weapon customization... ever

Lol there is literally weapon customization in the first game and I believe it's been stated that it will return. This article is moot.
