It's almost like the market doesn't support multiple cookie cutter open world games in some american city every year

I look forward to the crash. On some level this industry needs it with all the bullshit they are pulling.
Crossing Eden will have a stroke when FFXV sells more than WD2.
This is why I can't but laugh at post like that. The definition of "you don't know what your asking for".a "crash" will not lead to what people hoping for a crash wish for. It will lead to less, especially high budget, "traditional" games, not more of them. The things that make most money now ( MP and service games with lots of digital MT and DLC) will be what will continue to be made and pushed hardest.
Also, people are not buying full price "more of the same" titles anymore, I think.
They will go out of their way and spend 60 bucks on something completely new and "unknown" (see NMS) rather than pay full price for the latest assassin's creed or watch dogs, which they know will be 30% to 50% less in three months anyway.
...
Going by the data and math we have I belive that would put WD2 launching around 80k units. For perspective Watch Dogs 1 sold 380k in its opening. It is a colossal drop to put it mildly.
I don't think that is totally true. I think people are getting tired of cut and paste open world games where the content is very local and replicated across the larger map with little variation. I've always wanted an open world game that treats the map more as a single connected entity or at least large regions inside a bigger whole. Within these spaces RTS elements are layered on top of normal gameplay to give your actions more weight and a sense of influencing the world. In such a system progressions isn't just your character's improvement but the evolution of the world that you influence.maybe people are getting tired of open world games

How do you know what that poster is asking for? Not everyone wants "high budget traditional" games. And recent sales data seems to confirm that
The AAA space has become boring and samey
The little guy already has the space. Nothing is blocking them.Except I don't really care about that space. Less of them just means more space for the little guys that create interesting stuff. It. Relates opportunities for them.

Good to see the backlash to Ubi's bullshit.

like Battleborn or Evolve
And here comes Ubi and 2k with a black protagonist in their games. AAA is slowly getting diverse.
No wonder Samsung is giving this away if you purchase an SSD
Like Destiny and Overwatch.
There goes Watch Dogs 3's happy-go-lucky tone. I expect them to switch gears to try to get back the crowd who liked what the first game promised.
This is such a dumb shitty stance to have, especially when they learn from their previous mistakes.
Its a shitty cycle, when the game that does a lot wrong sells well, but the game that tried to learn from its mistakes sells abysmally.
Let's also not forget that Watch Dogs 2 happens to feature a black protagonist. This probably really affects sales.

What bullshit? The game is really good.
Watch Dogs 1 released in May, when there had been stuff all released around that time. That + the hype around that time for the game its no wonder it sold a shit load more.
Also, these threads always are about the UK.
Is it because they release their numbers first? Or is the UK just stopped buying games?
WD1 was bad game...I didnt understand why ubi did second one
i ll try it when it's free
that because Activision Blizzard actually knows how to make money

If this doesn't sell, there probably won't be a watch dogs 3. This will become ubisofts red steel for this gen.
Even more funny, less than No Man's Sky in first week http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1263240 (100k vs 80k)
This didn't hurt Mafia III sales.
GTA Online.

You always pay for the previous games mistakes. It happen with Unity to Syndicate and now watch dogs.
Look at COD. Ghosts sold well but people didn't like it so next year a much better game suffered.
Destiny 2 bomba next?
But also the hype for WD2 was real muted. The game just didn't look interesting imo. The tone just seemed off putting and a marketing team trying to be edgy and cool which rarely works out.
