GE: "Famitsu published a listing of the top 100 best-selling games in Japan of 2012. Enterbrain compiled the data based on sales between December 26, 2011 and December 30, 2012."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
I guess Japan didn't like Gravity Rush. It's a great game that i thought would be welcomed by Japanese gamers. It seems right up their alley.
One word
Nintendo rules lol
Now let's see more nintedo is doomed articles.
Even in the 30's range that's impressive for Japan.
"Keep in mind that games bought directly on digital platforms are not included, nor are download cards purchased at retail."
When will we get the results for Digital Downloads.
I wonder if this is skewing some of the WiiU US software numbers?
Most commenters seem to be missing the big problem with the 3DS. Its sold gazillions, yet most 3DS games in the list have only sold 200-300K.
That leaves developers with no massive advantage in coding for 3DS over the Vita, if they have a decent brand behind the game. There's less competition on the Vita side, so we may see more games cross-developed this year, and if the 15 PSP games in the list update to a Vita version (some have already), they get extra sales for only a bit more effort.
Not cast-iron in any sense, but I would have thought most popular 3DS games would be in the million plus range.
