| Zax said: DmC didn't sell well. Dead Space 3 sold considerably less than the others, probably won't be any more of those now. |
These two are easy and I don't think it's popular opinion, or atleast originally popular opinion. These games plus Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate, Shinobi 3DS, White Knight Chronicles 2, etc, received universal slander. Just as people purchase games because they're drawn into the hype, something like emo Dante, Dead Space 3 being a shooting game, like Dead Space 2 wasn't(it was,) Lords of Shadow isn't a good game because it's trying to be different from Castlevania, etc, and it spreads that so and so game is either shitty or it's going to be shitty because such and such, so everyone boards the hate train, and then they stop to let more people aboard every so often.
A lot of games sell because people are sheep. Same reason a lot of games don't sell. Same reason why certain music is extremely popular and some lesser known bands are actually better. Same reason that etc, etc, etc. People follow the crowd and form their own opinions partially based on what other people say is good less so than they form their own opinions despite what everyone else thinks. That's my opinion on it anyways.
