Mass Effect 2 is tracking on level with or better than its predecessor, darth.

The chart graphing tools are gone

they painted strikingly different picture.

But then Resonance Of Fate is selling as good as any random new IP JRPG did last gen.

If ROF is there, why isn't Star Ocean IV PS3 version there?

If Resonance Of Fate is there why isn't NIER there?

If Resonance Of Fate is there why isn't FF Crystal Chronicles Wii there?

Who expected big things from Resonance Of Fate pray tell...

At 30 weeks, Mass Effect had sold 1.73 million copies.

At 30 weeks, Mass Effect 2 has sold 1.93 million copies.

ME2 is doing fine.

Weird, it was falling behind before VGC 3.0 came and then Bioware said they shipped 1.6 Million PC/360.

Still thats lower than Oblivion/Fallout

Yet Resonance Of Fate is being called a flop because it sold less than what FFXIII and Dragon Quest.


Fallout 3 is Fallout 3. It is unfair to compare other games to Fallout 3. Other than that, Mass Effect 2 is doing fine.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Well there's a recession going on so I'm not suprised.


Recession has nothing to do with quality, lol.

Anyway, this is 2010. If GT, Black Ops, and Halo Reach do what we expect them to, then in retrospect, calling this the year of the flops will look totally oblivious. Those are the tentpole titles to end all tentpole titles, and can single handedly make or break a gaming year.

Yeah and those are mostly great playable games.


That's true, we put way too much importance on reviews. Above 70 should be considered great, like with movies.

ME2 is better than Fallout 3 though, by a long way.

Aren't we talking about sales?

Don't be fooled by the OP.

hardly any of them are flops.

We weren't the moment FFXIII, Other M and Bioshock 2 entered that list.

But for games like Transformers: WfC, I blame the recession (a little).

All I can do is sit back a chuckle at what game ISN'T on that list!

If only people had listened! * brushes off shoulders with a STRIKING victory *


Still living the obsession ? Loneliness and obsession is a pretty bad combo...

Not sure what to make of this except to peg it as your usual nonsense.

As usual you will hit the report button.
