| oniyide said: @conegamer im with the milky guy there are far too many games coming out for me to even really take Conduit 2 seriously, not after the original. Ive seen the trailers and to be honest, im not impressed, doesnt look better than GE, This game NEEDS to be good in order for it to even get close to a million, that meh game is not gonna cut it. im feeling a Red Steel vibe coming from this. People were pissed at the original and wont even be bothered for the sequel, no matter what the reviews, Hope im wrong |
Reviews don't sell games. No one has confirmed most gamers buy games because of reviews (a study was done, but that required everyone to actually read reviews, instead of taking surveys of people that buy games and asking if they read reviews).
Plus you're looking at gamer disappointment at the only factor. RS2 had less marketing than the first game, while Sega is promising more for for Conduit 2. RS2 had less features (Motion Plus alone was clearly not a substitute for multiplayer, local or otherwise), while Conduit 2 is only adding to what was on the existing game.
Now disappointment isn't being ruled out, it's just that Conduit 2 has a better chance to impress even the disappointed due to it addressing all the complaints, while RS2 addressed one complaint at the cost of outright dropping the others.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
