Fallout 4 Is Officially Bethesda’s Best Selling Game
It takes something major to dethrone the RPG king that is Skyrim, but it looks like Bethesda has a new top-performer in their 2015 release, Fallout 4. Many players criticized the lack of DLC soon after release, but no one can deny the huge amount of hype and traffic that a new entry in the Fallout series generated. It seems that the hype translated into sales for Bethesda, as Fallout 4 is officially the best-selling Bethesda game of all time.
This announcement for Fallout 4 comes from Bethesda’s Vice President of Marketing and PR, Pete Hines in an interview with YouTube channel Kinda Funny Games. There’s no word on why exactly Fallout 4 was able to pass up Skyrim, but it’s clear that the company did something right with this latest title. Bethesda games are kept alive long after release by their vibrant modding scenes, so it’s possible that Fallout 4 will continue to pick up steam rather than fading out like many new games do a few years after release. Skyrim still boasts thousands of players, and if the Fallout community is even slightly as prolific with modding, it’s possible that Fallout 4 may remain king for quite a long time.
Skyrim released in 2011 and has sold upward of 20 million copies, while Fallout 4 surpassed expectations with sales figures over 12 million on day one. In the interview, Pete Hines also took the opportunity to tease future Bethesda games, saying “Whether it’s Fallout or Elder Scrolls or whatever they’re gonna do next, I think their mantra is always we really gotta step up our game.” That’s very vague, but considering we just received a Fallout entry it’s possible we could see an Elder Scrolls 6 in the coming years. If any game could surpass the sales of Fallout 4, it would be a new Elder Scrolls game.
Fallout 4 is available for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.
Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.
Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!
Have you tried Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC? Is it really that hard, or has Sonic always been the Dark Souls of mascot platformers?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.
The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.
Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?
A new trailer featuring Aleks Le’s fearless protagonist S.E.E.S makes Persona 3 Reload more real. Atlus promises weekly character tributes, so get excited. Our stoic protagonist, who will be playable on PS5 and PS4 when this remade RPG releases on February 2, is introduced well.
We’ve accepted playing without our favorite character and are starting to like Reload. The setting, story, and cast have always been great, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more we want to return to Tartarus.
With Persona 3 Reload, where are you? Did you play the game before or is this your first time?
