| qmoney88 said: I could care less about this argument, but one thing I find disturbing is the fact that people actually believe that a game is only as good as its sales, because apparently every game in the cosmos must have mass appeal and be created for everyone under the sun, selling 20 million copies in order to cement itself as a mega franchise which shows the ignorance of many on here. Case in point, valkyria chronicles which is one of the most underrated gems of this generation and not selling anywhere near what it should. There are plenty of factors to blame for this, but the game is pure brilliance which many of you would agree, and by all means should be mega franchise quality but just because the game fails to sell well doesnt mean that its not a good or even great game. Horrible standards, some of you really think a games quality is based on the number of people who purchase it? I thought that maybe the developers had something to do with the quality of the game, not the number of people who decide to purchase it. The point that people are missing is that the majority of gamers arent core gamers, the ones who can appreciate the depth and difficulty of many games, rather they are casuals who buy into all the fancy cg and artwork tossed around in advertisements in order to sucker them into buying a certain game. Sure this is where the money is made but it in no way shape or form determines the quality of the game, but then again this is the opinion of a core gamer which begs the question of whether or not a game should cater to the casual market more. |
That is your opinion yet it is written as fact. It doesn't deserve anything but what it sells
