Forums - Sales Discussion - Sega: Vanquish missed sales expectations

Vanquish is a crappy 3rd person shooter that is very low on content and deserves less sales than it has.

:)

In both of your dreams maybe...

In the realworld Vanquish has more single player gameplay goodness in its pinky than Gears of War 2 during the entire game.

Sure it doesn't have MP, but maybe Platinum didn't feel like or had decent ideas in making MP for this game. Many games with pointless, crappy, "me too" MP prove that sometimes less is more...

 

Wow its better than Gears of war, what an accomplishment. 

You know, what most consider to be one of the best new series this generation. The same series that has garnered a multitude of awards and is praised from reviewers and gamers. Yeah, that's a pretty big comparison.

That doesn't matter.  What matters is people feel they get their money's worth out of a FPS, or any game for that mattter.  Exactly how many hours of gameplay was in the campaign of Vanquish?  And if less than 15, why would anyone spend $60 for it?  Companies keep pumping out single player titles, withat clock in 10 hours or less, and spend tens of millions of dollars on doing this, and then somehow expect to recover their costs?

4-10 hours total?  Who here expects peoplke to spend $60 for 4-10 hours gameplay total?

I plan to pick up Vanquish so should i just wait til it gets really cheap or will it all just dissappear?

I rarely see Vanquish in store but do see it randomly.  I was wondering if itll just stop or will it come back with alot in stock months later at the bargin bin?  Cause i've seen a few games I thought were going to be rare and dissappeared but then suddenly showed up at my local walmart with tons of copies for under $20.


If you like FASTPACED action shooter with the greatest gameplay EVER, go get it man! I payed full price, dont regret it, best game in late 2010! played through it 3 times, if you can get it for half price, go get it!

for me it has an level like zone of the enders, even though the story is way worse than ZOE

just removed from my Q (gamefly)



Loved the game, loved the gameplay, it was new, it was fresh, it was too short... but I didn't care.. I actually bought it cause it had this awesome 3d cover..

You know the game is fun enough that you will want to replay it and the challenge rooms take a while to complete. As for games needing to have 15 hours of single player -- i disagree. Some games are going to be big titles that take long time to complete, others will be short either way the best way to judge the value of a game is how much enjoyment you got out of it not how long you spent playing it.



one of the few times a game was a bit shorter than I expected, but I didn't care since it was so unique and did a lot of stuff to speed up the normally slow TPS genre. It was like Contra in 3D



It was an amazing game! One of the best (maybe thé best) game of 2011. It only missed a 2 player co-op (split screen).
