FLOP FANTASY 16 sees DRASTIC price cut (not even two months post release), officially a flop!

Shouldn't have made it a timed exclusive.

i would snag it, but pretty much everyone who knows my tastes in games says it gets old. while i dug the insane presentation in the demo, the gameplay did feel mind-numbing.

 

Yeah with so many better games (including RPGs) I don't think its worth playing at this point. But if you have some time I definitely think its worth watching some of the cutscenes on youtube. The presentation for some stuff is pretty fantastic.

No, we don't have time.  We have actual good games to play.

Seems like they are just anticipating gamers giving up on Shitfield and turning to a good rpg experience instead.

Why the hell would anyone play FF XVI if they want a good RPG experience?

- Lower first shipment without updates after 2 months (they are still selling first shipment).
- Publisher worldwide price cut up to 29% to move inventory.
- Basically out of sales chart across Europe with numbers below previous entries.
- No legs and big decline in Japan.
- NPD data being “fine” with the title below Dead Insland 2 that likely around 1 milliok
In US.

Keep making action games disguised as RPG you fucking morons at Square Enix.

 

Guys, everyone is buying turn based RPG Baldur's Gate 3 instead. How is that possible?

Hopefully the bag Sony gave them was worth it

Problem with this approach is they don't even know how to make a good action game. Nier and SoP are their best offerings but they didn't make those.

So my brother bought me this for birthday because he knows I'm a FF fan, knows I recently got a PS5, and knows I don't have the game. What he didn't know was that I didn't have the game because I don't have much interest in playing the game. 

 

After all the shit I've dumped on this game... I now feel kind of obligated to play it.

 

Talk about karma.
