I'm from the US as well so I was simply speaking from a lifelong experience.
Most Americans are idiots, plain and simple, buying whatever their peers have or wanting the newest shiny toy because the lady on the magic box told them they need it.
But I digress, this isn't the forum to debate the decline of intelligence worldwide.
OT: to each their own, I loved the combat in DD, one of the best combat gameplay in the rpg genre, imo. ...
"So why did it wind up selling half a million copies in Japan and, well, not quite so much anywhere else?"
Because the UK like the US has no idea what a good game is unless the lamestream media tells them what to like and buy.
1st was the best.
jon that fanbase is smaller than you think bud. If a company isn't growing it is dying, plain and simple. They are not interested in just copying and pasting with a new coat of paint and no gamer should want their fav series to become stagnate and stale like cod. Deadspace3 was the brainchild of a greedy exec looking for ways to tie in an online pass, not the devs trying to improve the gameplay.
Check the numbers of sales for demons souls and dark souls and you'll s...
Agreed, looking forward to the day when a company that has gamers in mind and not excessive profits takes their place.
Can't wait to see what new options they added!
I know right? Heaven help us if they want to continue to grow their fanbase.
If it doesn't have a drivable batmobile at the very least this will be a rental as it seems they are just doing a "slight" upgrade to the movesets. AC wasn't really that big and had WAY too much back tracking to cover up that.
Because there are tons of gamers that are interested in good games now for the their current system, not new shiny hardware to say ohh and ahh over.
really happy devs and pubs realize there are still gamers interested in games, not the newest toy on the market.
Shame, if this post was about graphics it would have dozens of comments already.
sad state of gaming.
The one post that hits it square on the head without trolling or without berating the nature of console gamers.
It doesn't matter how much power devs are given they will ALWAYS choose to spend that extra power making the game "prettier" at the expense of gameplay.
All these idiots are looking forward to games that will play the EXACT same as this gen but with better graphics. These people should be gaming on pc but most likely lack the know ...
"Among older hardcore gaming fans, brand loyalty remains a powerful force."
This is horseshit as it's the new gen of people who just started gaming on their xbox/ps2 who make up fanboys. and most are fanboys because they couldn't afford the other console and need to hate anything that they couldn't get mommy and daddy to get for them. those same people now have a 360/ps3 and just continue to hate what they don't own.
the whole no...
level scaling would ruin this game as with any game that adds/have it. not everyone wants to spend hours of grinding only to have the same enemies scale up with you.
it does not increase the challenge, only the length of the battle and who in their right mind wants to spend 30 minutes fighting the same enemy that you already know how to beat?
you could always just buy a game that you enjoy that has this lame feature like skyrim.
Guy sounds like a upset pc head the way he bashes the game for doing the EXACT same missions as other pc mmo's.
as soon as he bashed the graphics I knew he was a pc head.
If they think 13 year old retards who are amused at the simple act of seeing things go boom are going to sustain this franchise they are in for a HUGE surprise come aug.
oh well, at least there is one less game on my list to buy. rental all the way.
Looking forward to the new options.
no surprise uc fanboys think otherwise.
Bingo!
"I don't see a bright future for the X-Box"
Are you kidding me? MS has tons of loyal fans who will buy their next device regardless.
With their grip on north America MS is in a great position to generate huge profits for themselves over the next ten years.
With Xbox core gamers satisfied with multi's and the profits from Live they will print money next gen.
That is a huge win for MS.
Excellent idea! I stopped buying games at $60 a year ago when I finally realized I was spending like $90 with all the dlc to get a complete game.
Their greedy ass tactics now have me waiting until a nice price drop and sometimes even just passing over the game completely.
Their greed might have been good for their short term gain, but they're going to feel it in this next gen if more gamers are now aware of how they like to milk us.
