This seems to validate Ars's Steam list from some time ago.
it's really sad to see such a great game like XCOM bombing this bad, and insipid crap like BL2 selling so much
I bought NBA 2K today. Pls understand.
I know people who work for Firaxis and they told me that Xcom units sold exceeded both Firaxis and 2Ks expectations by a significant margin. Also they monile ports did amazingly well. Maybe they are BSing me but I don't think so.
What about XCOM?
Anything good about Civ V makes me happy.
Such a fantastic addicting game.
Their job postings seem to imply they're doing more XCOM.
At least they're hiring for "the team that made XCOM" and asking for UE3 experience to work on a strategy title.
Although it gets annoying when you've spent 12 hours on a one city challenge, deity, on a large map and then Korea beats you to the space race by 1 turn
Yes it is Steamworks.
Ars' data takes into account copies give away for free with BioShock Infinite pre-order and other promotions. 2K probably does not.
Bringing the game to mobile in its initial form fills me with hope that they see some future in the franchise beyond the name, but it also tells me that they are looking for other places to put it because it might have not done as well as expected.
I'm optimistic of course. I think they are happy with the critical reception, so it might just need some marketing work, especially when something like Civ is doing that good.
Basketball is really popular
Whyyyyyy do people keep buying NBA2k?! Doesn't deserve to be a top selling game.
Good on Borderlands 2. Hopefully they don't expect that kind number with the Presequel.
True. Mostly because of it being only for last gen consoles. Not sure why a quick and dirty port of an UE3 engine game couldn't be done on current gen consoles. Just port it from the PC version. Anything to increase sales and the userbase of people who are big Borderlands fans who want to play it on PS3/360 would be small I would think.
Will do decent on PC hopefully. I'm still looking forward to it because I can't get enough of the franchise personally. Something about playing an FPS with full Diablo style loot and skill increases from leveling.
(Can't wait for Destiny for the same reason. Could make this BL game a tougher sell too.)
Online is so brokenI bought NBA 2K today. Pls understand.
Alot of things are broken.Online is so broken
