good let it all burn. You faggots need to just let go of AAA already and just ignore it.

>best selling video game of all time

>in the US

Gas yourself OP. Also shame on you Americlapistanis.

>>13758672

Could there even br a AAA title more undeserving of this though?

>>13758680

The article is retarded. 85 million is the best selling in general AFAIK. I can't recall a game that's sold more. I think the previous record holder was a Mario title that sold something like 84 million

Even better than Super Mario Bros.? That one which comes bundled with every single famiclone?

>>13758716

Pretty sure bootleg copies aren't counted. Mario Bros. Sold 40 million

>>13758702

It was Wii Sports and it was like 81 million but that was bundled with the Wii. Otherwise it's Tetris I think

>>13758682

It doesn't matter which one it was. AAA will never make good games. Anons need to stop getting so pissy when they sell, thats their entire point. Be shallow, and make sales.

You people seem to have trouble actually using your brain

>Excluding mobile sales, the best-selling video game of all time is Grand Theft Auto V with 85 million units sold,[6]

Thinking is hard sometimes I know

>>13758736

>Topic: Grand Theft Auto V is now the best selling video game of all time

>Actual headline: Grand Theft Auto 5 is the best-selling videogame of all time in the US

Notice the extra "now" in the topic and no hyphen in "best selling". The OP didn't simply fuck up the pasting, she deliberately typed a misguiding headline to grab your attention.

Yall niggas posting in a troll thread.

Is GTA V a meme game?

I mean ok, GTA 3, GTA Vice City..

But GTA V? Le open world, le cream of the crop AAA game, le fun, le look at me Niko, i'm bowling

>>13758761

It's the ultimate meme game

15 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

totally forgot that existed

The Sims Maxis Electronic Arts January 31, 2000 Multi-platform 16,000,000

wtf

>>13758655

Whats wrong with this though? With mods this is a really fun game. Its physics and gameplay is solid enough to be fun. Make obstacle courses, races, arbitrary games with freinds, deathmatch arenas etc. You can make sky bridges and have a free aim old style dual. I dont get why people are shitting on people liking this game. Get some fucking imagination and enjoy games again instead of being faggots.

>>13758772

To me it just feels so painful watching people as undeserving as Rockstar get so much credit for an otherwise bare-bones lame experience

>>13758756

>excluding mobile sales

>in the US

this is called moving goalposts

well no shit, who didn't see this one coming?

>>13758655

It hasn’t even touched the Wii sports numbers. This article is fake news.

I would just like to argue that mobile games that cost cents to buy are not in the same market segment as 60 dollar console games.

If anything it shows games SHOULD move to a net grossing model for gaugeing success like Hollywood. Because although GTA V is the "best selling" I don't think it's anywhere near the highest grossing simply because it's nultiplatform thus has to deal with licensing fees. Likewise the best selling mobile games are also nowhere near the highest grossing because they're so cheap. The highest grossing game is probably a Nintendo Game and/or WoW from it's heyday

Do normalfags not give a shit about controls? Because Rockstar games control like shit. They have huge input delay, you still have to tap A repeatedly to run, aiming is either absolutely unwieldy (if lock-on is disabled) or so easy as to be nonexistent (if lock-on is enabled).

I can't play any Rockstar games because of this, despite wanting to get into their games. The only one I managed to play and enjoy was L.A. Noire, and that was precisely because you so rarely have to aim or run, due to the general lack of emphasis on action.

Well, better Rockstar games that have long development cycles, shitloads of content, and minimal DLC fuckery, than some Ubisoft piece of shit.

Anyone with a brain knows its not about the core game, its about its modding potential. Modders made this the best selling game of all time and we can only hope this builds a bridge between the modding community and developers.

>>13758717

>implying being champion over the USA doesn't make you champion of the world

>>13758771

Yup. Dot-com culture.

>>13759322

>Implying normalfags gives a fuck about modding

You're delusional you faggot. Modding is a niche thing. GTA V sold this much because of the previous games were widely popular and succesful. Grand Theft Auto is a well known franchise around the world, the game where you get chased by cops and can do whatever you like. It's like saying Star Wars is popular because of the Expanded Universe-writings.

Tetris which has sold 120 Million copies
