Is called free marketing, but some people never learn, look at Pokemon.Haters trying to cancel a game and fail is always a pleasure to watch
Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been the best-selling video game in the US for each of its first 3 weeks/Ranks#2 YTD trailing only Monster Hunter Wilds
- Thread starter Tiago Rodrigues
- Start date
That one was so dumb. It was second, not even first, in its launch week only. AC shadows has been #1 for 3 weeks in comparison.

Civ 7 was the 3rd best selling game of 2025 so far, behind Kingdom Come and Monster Hunter.
It will be 4th now after Shadows' launch.

It's the same in France for the last 3 weeks, also ASTRO BOTSome extra info.
March's top 10 games on Steam and PlayStation by units sold
With March clearly in the rear mirror, we thought we’d look back at the busy month for the console/PC market. March saw some highly anticipated AAA releases, indie surprises, and discounts, leading to a mixed bag for copies sold.alineaanalytics.com
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a smash hit and a sign of things to come for game dev – here’s how it REALLY performed
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been a resounding AAA success from a leaner studio. The official numbers reveal it has sold over two million copies. Our best-in-class data shows that it’s now coming up on three million across all platforms.

Tag, you're it.
But I don't think it's "ok". I think it's shit, like very very shit. "Ok" story is Origin, it was serviceable. In Shadows it's just so freakin' bad I just couldn't believe what I was watching.
Cliché over cliché, and badly made with that.
Looking at the comment on the source, people are cheering.
I wouldn't say it's better, I'd say it's less bad. There is still a long way to go indeed. Gameplay was ok-ish, but it's too repetitive (let's kill X number of samurai for the 50th time for example...) and completely fucked with a stupid AI. I wont even talk about Templar and Assassin's that are totally missing (and no, a few lines of dialogue doesn't make up for it).
They need to hire competent writer.
I can agree on most of your points, minus the combat that I think is barely ok and the building which I don't care for in an AC game.
For sure anyone can enjoy anything, I'm just voicing my opinion that's it. I was a fan of AC and more globally Ubisoft up to something like 2015 and I'm just sad to see how far they've fallen.

Platform splits are for subscribers. We only get 1 or 2 year so Circana can sell the rest.

Nah, he would have been screaming it through his lungs if it was selling better on Steam, Xbox or Switch. The evidence is piling up, like MHW launch

what else came out so far?
Ac shadows is the first game I am playing this year... I finished wukong in January but that was 2024 game.
Aside from Wilds and KCD2 of course. I know these. Wilds waits in my backlog. I dont care for KCD2

Its a very good game despite what followers wanna tell you.
If your on the fence- play it for yourself and make your own determination. As far as AC's go - its excellent but not without its faults. Hideout building is a blast btw.
Also last i saw Shadows only fell behind Valhalla. A game which benefited from all of us being home during Covid.

Is this another one of those times where you just make something up due to the agenda in your head?
What is evidence are you using for your claim that he would be screaming from the rooftop if it was Steam, Xbox or Switxh?

Didn't we have this exact exchange last month?lol
Also are you Mat? or one of his fans? I said that I observed him long enough to notice his bias! Also didn't he provide splits for Wilds (in the US) ? How come that wasn't for subscribers?
Also he was with the same infamous discord group around PS5 launch I guess (this Im not sure of)

Apologies, I misunderstood. If you think the game is very bad, that's fine. I thought you meant they all had to be very good.

Even in your attempt to cover everything, you've already missed listing some games.
Keep in mind this website list is just notable titles and doesn't even include all of the good indie games that have been coming out.
I know where this convo is going next, so I'll say this: It sounds like you personally have had a dry year, based on whatever parameters and tastes you have in games.
That doesn't line up with the fact that this factually isn't a dry year. Literally one of the big reasons AC fans were worried about this game's sales, was because it was sandwiched in between 3 other notable games.

We did have this same discussion, do you not remember how it ended?
You accused Dring of hiding splits that favour PS and sharing the split for MH that favours PC. Your exact words were:
"Man, you need to be more observant to their posts. You can check their wording qbout Wilds vs Shadows.. its not hard to see really."
The trouble is you didn't actually read what Dring has said. You just imagined what he said about those two games and then compared the two bits of your imagination against each other.
In the real world, Dring has shared splits that favour PS many many times over the years. More than any other platform. He never shared the split about Wilds.
We can do a pretty similar exercise with Mat. You said you have observed him long enough so let's put that to the test (and I hope you answer). Before Wilds, do you know what the last split Mat gave us was?

Nice, having fun with the game despite it being open world.
Second best combat of the gen so far, next to SIFU.

I'm not sure how you can say that when Sekiro exists... SIFU is top notch 100%

If you're like me, don't ignore the belly of the beast mission. I just got Yasuke last night after 15 hours.
I'm loving the two different play styles. So far I suck at stealth and have crap armor for the girl. Might use Yasuke to get the better loot for her.

But it was the only new release to rank in the top 20. New releases normally get mentioned in Circana reports.That's how Mat is.

Captain America is the second highest grossing movie in the US this year. Technically true!
Sadly for your agenda, KCD 2 was in that race too.
Woopah
Member
If you release a report of the top 20 grossing movies or games in a month, it's completely fine to highlight which ones are new.
If there are multiple new entries, you talk about multiple games. If there's only one new game in the top 20, you say there's only one. It makes complete sense to highlight new entries and this is something Mat does in his reports. It isn't specific to Indiana Jones.

I don't agree with that, there games like NieR and 13 Sentinels have amazing story.

I took a break from AC to play Midnight and Blue Prince but the story seemed really good to me so far 
It could end up like Rise of Ronin where it drags on way too long and introduces a thousand D tier characters I guess.

"If we take one piece of evidence and ignore the other evidence, we can claim that one thing is a pile."
It's from the same playbook, so no mystery there. But combat becomes a boring repetitive slop after a certain time. Story sucks, even non existent after act 1. Skilltree unlockables and design was made by trainees.
I just found out that Ubi is referencing Spidey 2 in its cover - the color palette is not similar is outright identical.
EDIT: also 2 playable characters, one whit one black in both games, it cannot be coincidence
At least you don't have to do certain forced stupid missions like in sm2. But overall it's just a 5/10 game with one of the best weather effects and season system.
Spiderman 1 beats spiderman 2 as a whole package.
