| Darth Tigris said: My problem is not with EA or Bioware for putting it on the PS3. Like I said last week (but is being ignored for some reason), if you check my posting history I have been championed this game for PS3-only owners since the day it was announced. So why do you keep accusing me of having a problem with this being on the PS3? What I see is what seems like a overall dismissal of the game because its a series generally tied to the Xbox. I KNOW it came out a year after and, for some gamers that's a reason to just pass completely. But when I see this old game still selling well on the 360 and other old games still selling well on the PS3 (I'd hunt down examples but in the end I just don't think it'd be worth the effort...), it bothers me. I wondered if the same would happen with general Playstation series when they came to the 360 such as DMC and FFXIII (yes, I know they didn't come a year late) selling really well, it was more evidence of something that I thought from the beginning: there were many former Playstation 2 owners that became 360 owners this gen. I don't see the same with the general PS3 userbase, unfortunately. And though it's just an anecdotal sample, there were vocal ones on this site that helped generate an overall negative attitude toward this game when it wasn't on the PS3 and had a hard time letting go of that when it wasn't. Console allegiances run deep with some. Make all the excuses you want about the sales of this game, but it has FAR more full price value than Bioshock's 1 year late port due to the DLC and RE4 proved that a 1 year port of a fantastic, GotY quality game can sell big numbers (PS2 and Wii). I'm not going to pretend I live in a world where fanboys don't exist and mess things up. Sorry, but this game deserves better. |
I'm accusing you of it because it's quite obvious due to your stupidly high expectations of it and how you think they should abandon the console of part 3 despite all your "championing"... It's a year late port of the 2nd game in a story driven trilogy, on a console that doesn't have the 1st game. What did you expect it to do? Enlighten me.
A dismissal of a series because it's tied to Xbox? Brand don't come into things like this outside of the Internet. I can get you a number of games pretty easily that sold amazingly well on the PS2, yet sold better on 360 than PS3 (Or didn't even appear on PS3).
I don't get why it's so hard to understand. It's getting the sales it deserves. Expecting it to match or even come close to the 360 numbers for the game is pure stupidity. I know it sounds rude... But it's true. Especially when our own ME2 360 numbers are vastly overtracked, making the ratio even more in favour of the 360 version.
Stop complaining when there is nothing to complain about. It's sold about 150k in 2 Weeks of being on sale. It's a late port. It's the 2nd game in a story driven trilogy. It's priced WAY higher than the 360 version. It's sales are fine.
