Forums - Sales - High selling games that don´t deserve high sales, in your opinion.

Its so easy to name some:

1. Modern Warfare 2 - This broken piece of shit game only sold well because its the sequel to the best shooter game this gen. It has so many problems and Activision is too busy counting their money and releasing overpriced DLC to fix it. Commando anyone?

2. Motorstorm - 3.52 million for an average racing game. It only sold this well b/c it was a launch title.

3. Resident Evil 5 - This game sucked hard. Like I'm no fan of the RE series but even I can tell it wasn't as good as RE4

4. Any yearly sports games. Mainly Madden, FIFA and PES. Its the same game with just a few minor tweaks and a roster update.

5. Any Guitar Hero game doesn't deserve to sell any copies.

6. Any of the crappy LEGO games. I can't believe LEGO Star Wars sold 1.19 million on PS3, not sure the 360 sales.

7. Wii party games/3rd party shovelware. Self explanatory

8. Halo ODST - You can call me a troll or whatever but this game should have been a $30 or $40 add on to Halo 3, not a full $60 retail game. It had like what a 3 or 4 hour campaign and firefight mode? What a rip-off. (not as big a rip as the $15 stimulus package). Halo 3 deserves its sales, but not ODST.

9. Left4Dead 2. It came out barely a year after Left4Dead 1 and to me it didn't look that different than the first. A short new campaign, a couple new modes, new characters/guns/enemies. They could have just as easily released a bunch of DLC instead of a full new game.

10. Wii workout games, including Wii Fit - self explanatory

11. NSMBW - Isn't it just the DS version ported to the Wii? Damn anyone who bought it got taken for $50 (or whatever a wii game costs). I'm not saying its bad, don't get me wrong, but its an old port.

12. GT5 Prologue - I love Gran Turismo and I will buy GT5 on day 1, but come on people its a $40 demo. I know it has more content than any crappy Need For Speed game, but its not a full game. Only reason I have it is I bought it used for $20.

10 - Wii Fit has helped me with my aim of putting on a bit of weight, so Nintendo can have my money with a smile

 

11 - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Please stop talking before you hurt yourself



wii fit, it sells could people see it as a way to loose weight.

and reality it will take more time than actual exercise.

doing real exercise its more fun



All movie games, regardless of sales do not deserve them.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Halo Reach is overrated and with expecting big numbers, it doesnt deserve the hype nor the sales. Halo 3, psh same stuff. Grand Theft Auto series must be the most overrated while all of its games and spinoffs gathering nothing less than 9.5 on many sites (hello its the same stuff just different stories). Modern Warfare, well not as good as the first so you know why. Zelda ocarina of time is not the best game ever, so stop it Zelda fans, please Mario beats zelda any dya. God of War 3 didnt deserve to beat Pokemon worldwide opening even tho Pokemon only released in NA. Gran Turismo is no different than any other racing game, nothing special. Need for speed beats it anyday. peace out*

1) It isn't even out yet, who exactly is rating it?

2) Yes it did, you obviously haven't played this awesome game.

3) Another game you have never played. Need For Speed? You can't be serious?

 

About this thread, basically anything with "Wii" in the title.



So basically this is a thread that encourages people to whine about shit that they don't like? Gotcha.

I tried to insult all systems equally. I have no problem with workout games, they just aren't my thing. It seems like the activities are things you could do just as easily with no video game system and with no cost, ie pushups, crunches, running, etc. But congratulations for losing weight on it.

Okay I haven't played NSMBW or the DS version so I'm just going off what I've heard, and I heard NSMBW is just a port of the DS version. Instead of laughing at me, correct me if I'm wrong. Because in my opinion a port of an older game doesn't deserve 13+ million in sales.

It is not a port. It is a continuation of that series, which is a spiritual successor to the original 2d games.



MW2, not even in the top five FPS this gen.

GTA 4 , crap.
