| Soriku said: lol, this game was sent out to die. The game's a prequel to a game that came out on the HD consoles (and didn't even sell a whole lot to begin with) and it's on rails which people didn't want. The game wasn't hyped at all. Other on rail shooters on the Wii have done well like RE and HotD but this one just dropped the ball. |
I don't think this factor has been stressed enough in this case. Not only is it a niche-genre spin-off, it's a niche-genre spin-off to a franchise that relatively few people care about anyway.
But another factor that we're not looking at is Wii Sales patterns. A lot of Wii games started off with absolutely pitiful early sales, and they're making these declarations and judgements right off the bat.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
