| LipeJJ said: Have you realized some of the biggest games of the year are adaptations from other entertainment forms? This year we got Batman: Arkham Knight, The Witcher III, Star Wars: Battlefront, Mad Max, Legend of Korra, and the usual games (Lego, Disney Infinity, etc.). Is this a new trend? Is this happening because gaming is becoming more popular and as a consequence drawing more attention? Or was it just coincidence that we go all this stuff this year? What do you think guys? I'm curious to hear. |
It's a bit exaggerated I think.
AK had a pitiful start and is still maligned. SWBF has a good chunk of detractors because it's just not that good of a game with an added SW skin. At least half of The Witcher players are probably unaware that it even is licensed. Mad Max had an underwhelming reception, Legend of Korra was a complete non-starter and the usual licenses like Lego have yet to push into the core market.
I wouldn't call this a big year for licensed games in any stretch.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
