I give you 1 guess to what game is in that Wii.

Edit:Right I forgot that is Superbot entertainment.

I also noticed that Wii in the background. What a fail! 

I wonder what that girl in the picture is thinking about...

I give them 1 thing, they have some cute girls.

I doubt that it's critically under-tracked. I doubt you would even care about the difference.

you knew what you were doing, tbone ;)

trying to rub it in eh?



you figured me... Lol JK... I wanted to point it out, and mention even wit a price drop (not sure if permanent!) its doing pretty bad? Oh welll Srry lmao.


how many units sold do you think it needs to hit to NOT be doing pretty bad? or are you just saying that it's selling bad RIGHT NOW?



well as of these two weeks(ending Jan 5 and 12) it did pretty bad, With a price drop you think it'll sell good but it hasn't. Jus saying!

but it was doing bad before "these two weeks(ending Jan 5 and 12)"

;)

you little devil you

lol

trying to pour salt in the eyes

 

but what number does it need to reach to "sell good" in your opinion, tbone?



Anything over 500k is good for a new franchise, but since this is the SSB of PS, i expect no less than 2mil lifetime, but it'll be good if this game gets a mil i guess. TBH, if it gets a mil now it wont be that much of an accomplishment! Why? Well PS3 has over a 70mil userbase and this game got heavy discounts, more than every game this holiday! Me personally think it well have 1.2mil life w/o bundle imo


oh because i was about to say that is game is definately going to reach a mill. It will cross the million mark a few weeks before LBPK does

 

these games are slow burners and you can tell from the as of right now

 

Battle Royale MIGHT be able to reach like 2 mill but we just have to watch the legs as they happen. I'm waiting to see if Sony is going to bundle this and if so, i want to see how far this gets before they bundle it

 

I originally predicted this to sell 3-5 mill as long as it had ATLEAST decent advertising and Crash Bandicoot and Spyro because these are the PlayStation mascots and will FOREVER be apart of PlayStation Family.

and of course the main PlayStation franchises are not here to represent their place in the PlayStation Universe and the advertisements were pretty much absent besides that wack commercial in Europe

 

I've said this before but i will say it again

 

could you imagine what Smash Bros would be like if everything Mario related and Zelda related was omitted from the franchise? exactly, YOU CAN'T

 

Battle Royale also needs some work done because it does have some stuff that is missing and there are little things that bother me with it

 

like where the fuck is the background crowd? They also could have allowed  unlockable characters and hidden stages. LIKE WTF I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M PROGRESSING!!! I loved that rewarding feeling i get when i unlock a character or hidden stage in Smash Bros. There is no feeling in Smash Bros that feels better than when I unlock a character or a hidden stage

you know that Hit the bag thing that was introduced in Smash Bros Melee? yea they need something like that in Battle Royale AND that Hit the target mini game thingy lol

It needs a subspace emissary type Adventure mode or ATLEAST an adventure mode like the 1 in Melee(I was expecting to see 1 of these in Battle Royale. They could have made a damn adventure mode. You remember that video of the early build of Battle Royale when it was called "Title Fight"? well some of the stuff in that video could have EASILY been used in some parts of the Battle Royale adventure/Subspace emissary mode.

 

here is the video if you haven't seen it

 

 

They could have fleshed out the whole rivalry thing A LOT more than they did. The menu while selecting a character could be better and it is also bland when you are waiting for a match to start in the single player mode. I also like the way you "select" characters in Smash Bros better aswell. you know how when you select a character you have to drag the little coin thing over the character to select them? yea i like that more than the" regular" way you do it in Battle Royale =P

also i somehow "feel" more involved in the game while waiting for a match to start in Smash Bros but i guess that is due to the blandness of the battle royale menus and wait screen

 

 

 

I'm convinced that SuperBot was solely focused on just outduing Smash Bros 64( being that it was the 1st in the series like Battle Royale is) and i'm hoping that they step it up next gen just the way Nintendo did when Melee released

 

It's a pretty good game when it comes to the gameplay or what not though(which is what matters the most to everybody i guess)

 

The reason i didn't like Brawl as much as Melee was because they slowed the gameplay down and it didn't feel right AT ALL playing with the Wii Mote but that was back when it launched

 

but Battle Royale is going to slowly climb up the chartz regardless though



That was my problem with brawl also (slower pace). SSB4 will come out way b4 PSASBR2 IF it happens. Nintendo is innovative though, i believe the 3DS and wii u versions will be different and not cross play. Wen SSB4 comes out it will be massive. Sony imo will have to wrry on tht, 3DS will be a beast! As for characters, i dont kno if they could but they should of fough for Crash, Spyro imo. Same with ninty Geno!!! God he is so badass and was the most requested character in SSB!

its kinda weird how much delight people take in trashing this game
whenever i encounter a game i don't enjoy or that offends me in some way
i take a step back acknowledge that its not for me and move on to another one, i don't make it my business to jump at any opportunity to trash it just because i've acknowledge that its not for me
seems pretty childish imo, but carry on


It's not that it's just bad it is insulting to Nintendo and anyone can see it is a carbon copy of the idea of Smash bros with a worse roster and worse gamplay mechanics. Even non-nintendo fans shake their heads at this game.

I as a consumer have the absolute right to complain about a product when it is terrible. All this trashing is a warning left for years to come. "Don't blatently copy others". If trashing the game on internet forums is they way to do it I'm happy with that.

We all know the power of trashing, it has forced people to change. 

i hate to break it to you but not everyone finds nintendo characters as appealling as you do and i do actually prefer the mechanics to smash's

with that being said it appears that you are therefore trying to force your opinions of how things should be onto others

 

"I as a consumer have the absolute right to complain about a product when it is terrible."

and i'm guessing you actually own the game?

I don't own it because I know it's bad, this isn't some rampant fanboyism, I've tried it at demo Kiosks and a friend of mine bought it for lolz. (Before you say demos aren't the entire game, I saw enough.)

If you like the mechanics then good for you. Still doesn't change the fact that it's pretty much a copy. 

so why mention that you're a customer?

since you aren't a customer and have no interest in the game whats your problem then?

I hate how they present it as a PS smash bros. The gameplay may be different, there have been other "All-star" games.

But at least try to show in presentation that it isn't a Smash game. Change the name, change the stage designs, and don't let people see this.....

I give you 1 guess to what game is in that Wii.

Edit:Right I forgot that is Superbot entertainment.

yea they could have atleast hid the damn Wii LMAO!

but that wouldn't change anything because everybody would still know that it drew major inspiration from Smash Bros

 

and what do you mean they present it as "PS smash bros"?

i suppose at the time they didn't realise how sensitive people can be to seemingly trivial things

its at times like these that i think of nintendo fans compaining about irrational hate that nintendo apparently experiences and have a chuckle but regardless carry on with your crusade

You actually did that? For how long? I gave it up after 1 match and went back to my Gamecube controller (I hope it will feel as good with the WiiU Pro Controller).

@topic: I don't think PSABR is exactly a bad game, but it is too similar to SSB64 (being inferiour in some areas!) instead of Melee or Brawl. While this doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game it is always a bad idea to compete against the WORST game in a series.

Quote trees people, quote trees! Let's calm them down a bit, OK?

Whoa, brawl is damn near 5 years old....And I didn't expect it to sell as much as it did. I expected more. I guess it turns out there aren't a lot of Sony fans. More like people just like them for the consoles (which i do to) and not their games. :(

SSB really went downhill after Melee....
