Exactly. But Sound doesn't want to have a discussion. He wants to tell everyone they are wrong. But back to AW2, I would love to buy, if it had a Steam release, which may never happen. The clear direction in gaming is consumers what a choice on how they play. Exclusives aren't working anymore. AW2 locked behind Epic was a bad choice. Rebirth and 16 being exclusive for over a year hurts sales as well. Pretty games aren't flopping. Pretty games with poor decisions are flopping. Edit And you are spot on, digital only release on consoles was a bad idea. Console gamers still have a large physical ownership desire. It will be interesting to see if the physical release boosts sales. |
There's also the fact it's a survival horror game, and if you're not Resident Evil it's a tough genre to sell. The Dead Space remake also didn't do great numbers despite being a very good game.
Like I said, AW2 flopping has nothing to do with its graphics.
