Do you even read what you post?

You should know better than anyone here how much GT5 cost.

Yeap... make 1 game is more "cheaper" than 3 games and GT5 was sponsored by GT5: P.

GT5 is just profit for Sony.

Of course GT5 is cheaper. They recycled 80% of the cars from the previous game.

78% (with DLC the number down to 76%)

Without DLC (all DLC are premium) GT5 have 221 premium cars.

Make 1 racing game is always "cheaper" than make 3 racing games... you know developement costs, licence costs (you need licence for 3 games and not 1), all the market budget spent with 3 games, etc.

GT5 still have the GT5:5 selling over 5 million... that 5 million sales of GT5:P sponsored the development of GT5.

I can say to you GT5 is one of the most lucrative games in this gen.

Anyway GT5 is far superior to Forza 4 in simulation terms... well even Forza 3 is superior to Forza 4.

thread creator keeps putting down forza for being bundled but forgets gran trurimo has long history of bundling and re releases

GT5 bundling is not even near the Forza bundling.

And about re releases.

What difference between the GT5 XL and Forza 3 Ultimate Collection??? Both are game + DLC.

You know it's just one re release because XL, Academic Edition and Spec II are the same release with differents names for US. Europe and Japan.

But I know you're jealous .



quality=sales

everything between 80/99 score is to be considered good and of a certain respectable quality.

It will be interesting to see which game with scores under 80 have managed to sell very well!



Switch!!!

Took truck loads of data and lots of research to come to this very basic conclusion.



I love you, but knowing that you are an Icelandic

I'll take your bait anyway and we'll use KZ vs Halo as an example:

  • Killzone 1: 70 meta | 0.94M sales
  • Killzone 2: 91 meta | 2.87M sales 
  • Killzone 3: 84 meta | 2.36M sales
  • Killzone L: 77 meta | 0.82M sales
  • Avg. meta: 80.50
  • Avg. sales: ~1.75M

 

  • Halo 1: 97 meta  | 6.42M   sales 
  • Halo 3: 94 meta  | 11.62M sales
  • Halo R: 91 meta  | 9.23M   sales
  • Halo W: 82 meta | 2.19M   sales
  • Avg. meta: 91.00
  • Avg. sales: 7.37M

So, this tells us that Quality == Sales and that Halo absolutely thrashes Killzone.

So, we got that out of your system, feel better Pezus?

^^ lol, so in the case of Halo and Killzone, Halo (the higher quality game) has the highest sales too!

@pezus, did you just make this thread to troll Killzone and show that it's an inferior franchise in terms of quality and sales? Not cool man.

Aaanyway, if a mod sees this could they please lock this? He didn't have my permission to copy my thread. Seriously pezus, stop copying my threads...it's like you dont have an imagination of your own.

You'd think that I'd be flattered that you copied my thread, but I'm not. Your copying is annoying as fuck. STOP SAYING LULZ. STOP SAYING INDUBITABLY. STOP COPYING MY THREADS.



I started indub. You stop copying me. Skyward sword was quality, but sales were mediocre like recent Wii U game scores. Does that count?


No you didn't, you said indubiably a few times but then I corrected you and said that the word indubiably didn't exist and the correct word was actually indubitably. You then called me a grammar nazi or something and then I said indubitably. Therefore...indubitably is mine YOU FRAUD!



Now I take issue with this, despite the point your trying to make.

Games that got 90+ in 2006-2009 can't be changed. But every rational mind would agree that if those games would be reviewed in 2012 they would get lower averages due to changing standards.

Sales aint quality, but it determines level of interest, the act of putting your money where your mouth is. Halo is a gamers game. KZ is more niche since it had significant hype and marketing at the time.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Quality is subjective game to game.
