I want to disagree with your comment more but N4G won't let me
Almost everyone on Metacritic is a troll. That includes all the people who play a game for an hour (sometimes only the demo) and give it 10/10 and the people who give games like DMC between 0-3/10.
I've read those reviews just there and most of them just say the same old tired crap that you would find on an article on here, even before the demo was out.
The advertisement element really can't be overlooked.
I remember trying (unsuccessfully) to convince my younger brother (who was 17 at the time and should have known better) that Modern Warfare 3 was on the PS3 because from all of the advertisements he had seen it seemed as though it was exclusive to the 360.
I imagine that there are a lot people as stupid as my brother who might have bought a 360 because they think games are exclus... #1.1.3
I'm currently finishing up Lost Odyssey and I just finished Tales of Graces f yesterday (I was playing them both since Christmas) and I have to say Tales is better.
I wasn't a fan of it's battle system at first and the story seemed very childish at first but it got much better in both respects. Lost Odyssey whilst great, just isn't as good in my opinion. #1.3.3
I think that might be down to the fact that it came out in mid 2011 everywhere but NA. So it wasn't really a 2012 game. It was on quite a few GOTY lists in 2011. #1.2
Because they weren't willing to pay huge amounts of money to keep games exclusive?
Because they sold the PS3 at a high price, because it was so expensive to make?
It was entirely realistic for them to expect people to buy it, based on how well the PS2 had done. And people did buy it, just not if you compare it to the Wii, which compared to the PS3 was being sold dirt cheap and also h... #2.1.1
COD would obviously be able to compete in overall sales, but not everyone has money for more than one game at a time.
I imagine that in the market of people choosing the one game they could get, with the choice being between COD and GTA V, about 70-80% (maybe more) would choose GTA V.
If GTA V and COD released at the same time, I'm fairly certain that the COD game would suffer significantly in those sales compared to GTA V. #1.2.2
Are you on crack or something? I never said it was because of the casuals. I said that it was marketed as a family console, which if you've ever seen an advertisement on tv, it is.
I don't doubt that a lot of gamers will have seen games like Zombie U and decided that it would be worth picking up, but there will also be a tonne of parents who will have seen it being advertised as family entertainment.
I know that I'm pointing out the obvious but the Wii U, much like the Wii, is still heavily marketed towards families, which the Xbox and PS3 weren't (at least not until Kinect and Move).
There have been some proper posts. It's just that for every one proper post, Mika makes up for it by posting 40 idiotic ones.
On topic I don't really care for the whole women in gaming issue but it's good to see that Naughty Dog aren't cheapening their product by demoting a main character from the cover in the hope that it'll increase sales. #1.5.1
Yeah, someone will definitely be rich or stupid enough to buy it. I wouldn't though (not that I could) as it works out at like $34 a game and I'm not even willing to pay that much for high budget modern games. #1.1.1

The US numbers will be on an article on the US numbers. Though you clearly didn't need to know that as you posted numbers for it anyway.
Your comment is the equivalent of saying "'MURICA NO.1!!! WOOOOEEEEE!!! Go XBOX!!!" #1.1.4

The guy was 20. So it has to have been the games.

So it's hardly surprising. #1
It's most likely not his honest opinion. j-blaze didn't get to one bubble because of his immense love for playstation games. #1.1.2

I'm pretty sure the majority of females playing Far Cry 3 won't see an issue. Not many people are as prudish as you appear to be. #1.1.1
That's some good logic. Look forward to a bad year for gamers next year when *insert game here* beats all other games to become GOTY.
This year had some great games, maybe you just didn't play them. #1.2.1
