Yeah, maybe 50K copies more.They would have sold even more with a proper physical release.

It's not nothingYeah, maybe 50K copies more.
True, it's ~50% of 117K.It's not nothing
It's an interesting decision that Machine Games have made, for sure. The previous 3D Indy games were pretty much Tomb Raider-likes. And the 2D games were point-and-click adventure games you'd expect from LucasArts. Fate of Atlantis especially is one of the best ever made.Yea this is my take as well, these numbers are low.
I played through the game and the entire time I wished it had simply been Uncharted but with Indy.
Instead, it's a Dishonored like open world playground.
There is only a couple of those big action set pieces similar to what Uncharted served up.
It did have that exploring and finding lots of little puzzles everywhere thing. But really I just wanted big explody fly by the seat of your pants action.
It's a very good game, but yeah, first person perspective just doesn't work as well for a cinematic adventure like Indy.I finished it on PC and would probably have double dipped on PS to platinum it, but......nah
Wasn't attacking on opinion. Pointing out a cheap drive-by post based on false information by someone who clearly didn't play it, and just read something somewhere. Try again?Let's not attack people on subjective opinions, especially if you begin written sentences with verbal filler words. Get along, youngins.
Why you guys always lying pretending to be a PC user? We know you play on Xbox.About "take the L", I don't know what that is as a PC user, could you please explain it to me?
PC players are waiting for a Steam sale. I practically never buy anything full price.PC players really don't like cinematic games
Wouldn't that be most players and not just PC players? I don't think they have the monopoly on waiting for a good deal.PC players are waiting for a Steam sale. I practically never buy anything full price.
Still...selling more then Xbox & steamBut it's selling poorly?
Revenue with these poor sales...This is great.
Microsoft is going to love the revenue they generate from this.
Indiana Jones is a great game and I think everyone should play it.
It also serves as proof that Bethesda under MS is capable of producing great games.
If you're so sure about what you say, let's do the following: I'll post a picture of my gaming PC with a piece of paper written with my nickname here on the forum, and then you'll delete your account here on the forum, what do you think? lolWhy you guys always lying pretending to be a PC user? We know you play on Xbox.
The game also got the kiss of death when Microsoft said they were happy with the performance.117.2K sales in a week on a platform with ~70 million units sold, for a game based on a gargantuan IP, that reviewed well with both critics and players, has won several awards and was nominated for others?

Doesn't matter how you slice it, those are abysmal numbers, almost to the point where I have a hard time believing them without disclosing all his sources.
They are so predictable.Why you guys always lying pretending to be a PC user? We know you play on Xbox.
Hey dont worry, god of war 3 is coming......to sell 2 million copies. Also, WTF buys a game that they already own on PC to get a useless digital "trophy"?

Marching Orders™And so, a new narrative is born.
I just can't keep up anymore, you people just can't seem to be able to take the L
I've already said on the forum that I sold my PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to build a PC.They are so predictable.
yeah i would've buy it day1 if it was 3rd personIndiana Jones ain't what it used to be, but I maintain that the game would have been much more appealing to a larger number of gamers if it had been in third person.
And thank goodness they stuck to first person as it resulted in much more immersive experience.Indiana Jones ain't what it used to be, but I maintain that the game would have been much more appealing to a larger number of gamers if it had been in third person.

I don't get it, I think the game looked incredible, and I played it on a Series S with a 1440p monitor, not PC or PS5 Pro.Graphics are hit and miss, animations look mediocre, the art direction is good, but the world look very sterile amd combat looks really bad.
It's saving grace is the lighting/RTGI, that basically acts like smoke-n-mirrors.
I don't even think the IP is the issue. That's just an excuse people use t o avoid the above.
And that doesn't mean people can't or shouldn't enjoy the game, clearly there was no appeal to the masses whatsoever.
No offence, but this is so weird to be honest: there are literally hours of cutscenes with him, he is quite chatty during gameplay and then all these short shifts to 3rd person. I wasn't just playing Indiana Jones, I was him.Not for me. Playing first person removed Indiana Jones from view and so I just never had the feeling that I was playing as him.
This.And thank goodness they stuck to first person as it resulted in much more immersive experience.
For real. And even in first person, the masterfully placed light sources everywhere get you to constantly see the super-iconic silhouette as shadow.. which is something that never failed to please this Indiana Jones fan.No offence, but this is so weird to be honest: there are literally hours of cutscenes with him, he is quite chatty during gameplay and then all these short shifts to 3rd person. I wasn't just playing Indiana Jones, I was him.
The immersive sim aspects would be lost if it were a third-person game, we don't even have a basis to discuss whether it would be better because it would have to be a completely different game.This.
I was initially sold on the idea of first person just to differentiate the game from the multiple Uncharted I had played and replayed for decades, being my favorite series, especially to avoid any comparison with things nobody can do as good as Naughty Dog in third person.
But after playing the game, I am sold on the first person simply because the game as good as it is would never work in third person. It is the definitive game of this kind now as far as I'm concerned.
Wanted to replay it immediately after 100% it in 60 hours (I fully completed each area before progressing, and had a total blast because side content, down to the most obscure note, is so masterfully complementary to the main thing it all felt so insanely organic, I was finding and solving my own adventures constantly), that would have never happened in a million years with an Uncharted game of even half this length..

zero advertising - they launched it too late

Like I mentioned, you're not going to change these kids. I've been posting here for nearly 20 years and there has always been console warriors. Used to be PS2, then 360 when PS3 "had no games" and now they're all on PS5.Wasn't attacking on opinion. Pointing out a cheap drive-by post based on false information by someone who clearly didn't play it, and just read something somewhere. Try again?
I don't "attack opinions", I debate points with people if they choose to engage in civil discourse. And I'll point out there was nothing uncivil or unfair about my comment. It was deserved. You make a drive-by post, you get called out on it.. That's honestly how it should work. Drive-bys are the worst, they need to be squelched.

Even when I was a kid, I used to go get part-time jobs and buy every console. Never understood console wars.
Some people just don't want every console.Even when I was a kid, I used to go get part-time jobs and buy every console. Never understood console wars.
Is it the need to be able to see protagonist's ass at all times to feel like you are playing him? Is it?I'm not "playing" cutscenes. You can think my opinion "weird", but that's my take. Not sure what there is to argue about. You felt first person was more immersive and I didn't.

Newsflash, there are more than double the amount of PS5s sold than Xbox consoles.
It's not. And no, it doesn't.Because it looks mediocre.
If we policed stupid on GAF, there would only be 5 members left. How many dumbass threads "do you think that xyz" or "how many will copies will XYZ game sell" we get? I'd ban them all!That wasn't even a console war take though. It was just stupid. Indiana Jones isn't a woke game at all.

I just don't want it to come off as if I'm defending his dumbass take, just that sitting here feeding these trolls is an impossibility. When you squash one, seven more pop up.lol....I'm not saying the guy should be banned. Definitely think the community should point out blatantly stupid takes like this though.
