Great games selling a gotg is one thing (and in general all the games you listed are great besides maybe CoD). While TLOUR with as much negative press and people calling it unworthy is a different situation. The Point being games dubbed trash aren't expected to outsell game dubbed gotg.

lol, what "negative press" did LoUR get? Who called it "trash"? And since when is I myself dubbing Titanfall GOTG here on this forum, a quantifiable unit of measurement in terms of sales expectations? I wasn't aware that me naming a game something meant it had universal impact on its sales expectations. LOL.

If you didn't saw all the bad press and countless thread bashing TLOUR I'm sorry but that don't make they disappear. Won't be able to search links on phone. You may have invented the gotg for TF but wasn't the sole user. And several users predicted x1 to catch up to Ps4 because of TF and its bundle, I don't see how they expected it without great sales. And if gotg for you isn't over sales or score what defines a gotg?

You understood it was sarcastic by yourself because I wasn't. And my question was for people in general because it was the common expectation before launch of the savior.

BS. If your question was "for people in general" then don't ask me directly with my name in the question.
I can't ask people in general in a thread you are the only one saying it. I was asking you namely how many people predicted TLOUR would outsell TF before TF lukewarm release. Read my 1st post to you without assuming sarcasm.

8 million in sales is hardly irrelevant. Plus I never said sales = quality, just that a lot of people expected gotg > undeserving remaster. Matter of fact, how many remasters outsold the gotg of a gen?

 

i use gotg as the best game of a gen, some would use as the game that defined the gen (cod would be a serious contender with GTA for gen 7), how do you use it?

 

And I asked you namely because you said many expected TLOUR to outsell TF. But I would say that was after TF had weak numbers. Because the hype level of x1 fans were for it selling quite stronger and If TLOUR was announced before TF release even less people would say TF would be outsold by it during hype days.

Oh, so now you did ask me namely? Make up your mind please. LOL still going on about sales. Again, when it comes to GOTG, GOTY, etc, sales are 100% irrelevant. You have games like Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls II, Child of Light, etc being nominated for GOTY in various forms, none of which are anywhere near the top sellers of 2014. And whenever this gen ends you can rest assured the game most people think was the best of the gen, won't be the one that sold the most copies.

So when you ask me directly "LOOL Ludicrouspeed u didnt expect GOTG Titanfall to outsell trash lame junk lour", I can easily just remind you that sales are completely 100% irrelevant when it comes to GOTG. I hope that helps.

Please stop trying to spin and only answering what you want and even invent questions I didn't make. I know quality and sales aren't necessarily linked. And people remember CoD and GTA well enough but not much some niche goty. But the best fps in history underselling a remake from the company that some say don't know how to sell 1st party wasn't expected much less granted. Name one goty or gotg fps that sold less than TF. And Xbox fans always praised ms exclusive sales and their marketing strength for sw, what happened?

 

Also remember some claiming ps fans were jealous TF would sell better than any ps game. You forgot them all?
