Stop trying to split the blame. Only Nintendo is bad. If you try to blame anyone else even remotely then you must be blind. Now go buy Mass Effect 3 with no idea what happens in the first two games. In all seriousness though, I think Curl summed up my thoughts best. I'm not a charity, if you want me to purchase your product, make sure it's appealing to me. I'm not going to throw $60 at a company for a poorly optimized or supported game I'm not interested in solely in the hopes that the developer will someday maybe make a game I do want. It is sad that a lot of good games sold poorly despite a solid effort being put into them...but for a huge chunk of these games, the Wii U was clearly an afterthought. It's a really bad situation...for sure, but to blame one side and not the other makes absolutely zero sense...which really why the majority of the responses in this thread baffle me. |
You would if you bought it.
Mass Effect 3 on WiiU includes a digital backstory comic, where you can even make decisions that players were able to do in ME and ME2 to customize your ME3 experience.
ME2 on PS3 had the same back when ME wasn't on the platform.
It's not the best way to start, but it's far from impossible. I mean look at the Witcher 3 right now. It's going to easily outsell the previous games, so there must be hundreds of thousands if not millions of players who haven't played the previous games. Story-wise they are far more connected than, let's say The Elder Scrolls.
