It's a fun game, I highly recommend it. Personally, my game of the year.
lessons learned.. Final Fantasy has to be multiplatform
Yes he also said the same thing about Indiana Jones which ended up being like 14 on the best seller list.
Another apples to oranges comparison. First, he did not say that about Indy. He was comparing launch week sales being 2nd behind CoD being “pretty good”
But also, Rebirth is expected to perform in sales. Indy expected engagement through Game Pass with any actual sales being nice to have. Obviously if Indy wasn’t on GP, it would’ve faired much higher.
Being number 14 when the vast majority of the players are playing for free is pretty darn good... Plus it was second in sales (week or month, can't remember) lol
I can tell you right now MS isn't trying to pay Disney licensing fees for games that are number 14 for the month. There's a reason Spiderman has to sell 10s of millions just to be profitable for Sony and it's because of the licensing fees. Spiderman also helps sell consoles so it has an added benefit for Sony. I'm sure Indiana Jones is cheaper to license but its still Disney and we no it isn't going to move consoles.
Doesn't really mean much until Square Enix themselves says the game had a fantastic Steam launch lol
PC saved remake trilogy lol
a good game but honestly, it need a lot of fix on pc.
