Hah. In that case, *uses Google's random number generator for between 1000 and 100000*

78,730

Let's go with that.

Everyone seem to forgot about We Happy Few.

Did it even really get a ton of press attention, most of the stuff I saw for it was people trying to spread the name through word of mouth.

Metal Gear Survive
Dynasty Warriors 9
Sea of Thieves
Devil May Cry HD
Vampyr (for real heard some nonstop hype for this before it's release and a few months later nobody is talking about it)
Far Cry V (same as Vampyr, except people are usually super into far cry)
Pillars of Eternity 2 (love the fuck out of this game and it hurts so much to put this here but apparently it sold worse than my used toilet paper. Shit sucks man. CRPG for life)

Fallout 76 probably counts, but I'll wait a month to see how it pans out porygon

I didn't realize MGS Survive came out this year.

That was like the Fallout 76 of the Metal Gear series.

Far Cry 5 was a good one though.

I'd almost consider putting Vermintide 2 in the running for this, even though it was one of the best-selling games this year, and handily outsold the original.

But it released at least 6 months too early, as it still has significant bug and balance issues even now, 8 months post-release. The tail fell way too fast, and it has a fraction of the playerbase that it had around launch. To their credit, the devs are trying to fix it, but I think we're at a point where it is too little, too late.

Its a shame too, because the core gameplay loop is super satisfying, when it works right. It just doesn't work right consistently.

Sea of Theives is a good one, but so far it has to be Metal Gear Survive. Fallout could still take the crown though. Its too early to tell.

I think there was pre-launch excitement, at least among people who played the first game. But it just was so flat at launch, and they've got a lot of work to do to turn it into what people want.

me dropping trou, same as every year
for real though, and I've said this before, at least with survive you had a kojima less konami trying to appease fans with a feature suspiciously absent from V, online co op. considering how much of it was taken and expanded from peacewalker it was a really big personal let down, only problem is it's not quite what fans were asking for

fallout 76 was just something flat out nobody was expecting or wanted

Fallout 76 - an online multiplayer take on the franchise - was not expected to sell as strongly as Fallout 4. Of course, any new game from Bethesda Game Studios is still a major release, yet this title has got off to a slow start. Fallout 76 debuts at No.3, and sales are down 82.4 per cent compared with the previous game in the franchise - 2015's Fallout 4.

Even so, due to its higher retail price, Fallout 76 was actually the game that generated the most revenue at UK retail last week. Because of its budget price, Spyro was actually No.3 in the revenue charts.


Only Fallout 76 sales we've got so far. It has a long way to go. I remember R6 Siege flopping at first so we'll see if GAAS saves it.

But I doubt anything will beat Pillars of Eternity 2.
