Well but its numbers are inflated from being dirt cheap and in bundles.I thought it'd be more tbh.
How did TR2013 do on PC? Maybe that'll give me a better picture

Trust me, it's that bad as well as in relation to the emphasis and exposure they put into the "drama"
Yeah, me too.nice.
i wonder if denuovo really helped it!
Microsoft boasted about it passing a million, alongside their other major holiday releases.What are the total XB1 sales?
Eh, the writing in Rise isn't absolute shit or anything. This must be one of those cases where people are coming in from games with amazing writing like The Witcher 3, Uncharted 2, The Last of Us and the difference in writing quality becomes too jarring.
The bar has been raised and Crystal Dynamics needs to catch up, no doubt about that.
It came free with the GTX 970 I bought a week ago so that's why I have played it. Seems pretty good so far.
Also ROTTR's writing is not any worse than your typical non-good video game writing, I've no idea why everyone focuses so much on that when it has about the same level of quality you'd expect from a video game
I really hope they got a LOT of money from Microsoft, because they lost out on over a million sales last year between PC and PS4
It was more akin to Spectre level of stupid. Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider movies know they're corny and they relish in it. This game, like Spectre, has a corny plot, but takes it so seriously that it hurts the narrative.It's the only glaring issue about the game really. It was on Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider movie level of corniness.
The unfortunately very low quality of the writing in this game doesn't deserve this amount of sales.
Pretty graphics though. It's a nice tech demo I guess?
Sales will probably spike for a spell once the VXAO and DX12 hit patch hits.
This is nixxes you're talking about, they're not about to tarnish their reputation like that. And given the recent leak of new features coming to Rise, I really doubt they're done with it.I doubt these things will actually happen, it's going to be another AC Unity Tesellation deal.
There's no way they could've had the same expectations given the gulf in player bases between the last gen machines when tr2013 hit and the amount of xb1s that were out there for the launch of RiseI honestly can't tell if this is a good number, only because it's well known that Square were disappointed that the reboot sold 3.4 million in one month. So, we're looking at less than 3.4 in 3 months.
I mean, if they're (Square) using the same metric, that's pretty bad, no?

I hope they did not, I hope they lost their asses. Third party games that were once multiplatform going exclusive pisses me off. I'm not going to buy a console for some third party franchise just because a company paid for the game to not be on other consoles. It makes me dislike the company that paid for the exclusive and it makes me root for people not to buy it so the devs think twice about restricting their games to one console. This practice sucks and its anti consumer.

Wonder how many where because of nvidia promo
Except you're comparing 3.4 over three platforms, to a another number over two. Plus whatever hand Microsoft had in development & marketing. Unless you work at Square, you don't have the info to determine if this failed internally.I honestly can't tell if this is a good number, only because it's well known that Square were disappointed that the reboot sold 3.4 million in one month.

Windows 10 store Is crying.

Both MS and Sony, even Nintendo are doing it. With some multi-platform franchises becoming timed exclusives or even worse, exclusives.
Deals like this are happening all the time.
Whats your opinion on SF5?

Personally i still think it sucks but there is a difference between paying to get a game made and actually paying for a game NOT to be on another platform when it had previously been announced.
As long as these "exclusives" keep coming to PC though Im happy

It's almost exactly the same game which is why I was baffled by people saying it was some massive improvement over the previous game. It's TR2013 with terrible side objectives thrown in.Same. I've played it for about three hours so far. It looks nice but I feel it's way too similar to the last game.
MS supported and paid ROTTR to be made.
I think the 2013 reboot was better than this. They really ubisoftified the formula
I thought it was already being made and had been announced for all platforms. My bad
Wut ?
You got a source ?

SE didn't make this game exclusive without a reason
That MS helped to market and produce the game?I don't want yours or neo's "personal feelings" or "opinions"
I want a source from either MS or SE who confirms what the poster is claiming.
I'm pretty sure the last person to suggest this got banned by a mod cuz they didn't present any evidence. Have some sources or don't assume what you personally feel.SE didn't make this game exclusive without a reason

The best example is this past holiday season's Rise of the Tomb Raider, the follow-up to 2013's Tomb Raider reboot from developer Crystal Dynamics and publisher Square-Enix. Microsoft paid a hefty sum to make sure that the latest installment in this franchise would only appear on Xbox consoles. (The game is releasing on Windows next month, and will appear on PlayStation consoles later this year.)
"The timed exclusive probably cost only $20 million or so," said Wedbush Securities' analyst, "but you probably saw [Rise of the Tomb Raider] advertising throughout the holidays. My guess is that Microsoft spent another $20 million advertising the game."
