And this is why people talk about a video game crash all the time.
Square Enix complaining about Tomb Raider sales. I mean sure the game only had like 4 million sales when they complained, but still. If a game has to sell multiple million to make a profit you only have yourself to blame. |
How? Those eye popping graphics people like aren't exactly cheap. It cost big time cash to produce them. I have no idea how it's there fault as that's what most players demand these days, but oh well

Hollywood movies have mocies that end up costing shit tons and when it backfires they don't come out bitching at the consumers for not buying or seeing their movie like the gaming industry does. They They don't start posting stats about how many lost sales they supposedly had due to piracy, ect.
They take responsiblity and fire who needs to be fired, cancels sequels, ect. Look at movie like John Carter. I don't recal Disney compmlaining to us consumers or coming out with a statement like "if you don't buy this movie we wont' make anymore movies" or some bullshit that gaming devs say. No they canceled John Carter 2. And moved on to other franchises. They took a risk with JOhn Carter and it backfired. They likely won't be as quick to make risks again. They still will use big budgets on other movies lilke Avengers 2 and Pirates 5. But less likely to spend 100's of millions on a new franchise.
Oh and lets not forget that Tomb Raider is probably one of the best selling in its franchise history. So tell me, where did the budgeting come from. What genius thought, hey lets spend "X" amount of money on this game and in order to be a success it needs to sell double the amount the game has EVER sold in the history of that games beings. It's retarded. The person who made that decisions or person, should all be fired and sent back to elementary school to learn how to count.

Something tells me you're not very mature based on all that, but anyway...
What people are failing to realize, including you, is that is the way graphics have advanced, any well-made game is going to cost in the 100 millions to make no matter what, so it's a bit silly to sit back and say "Oh, they should lower their budget" when you have no idea of the development process. Maybe you take a look at the end credits of any recent game and see the tons of people that it takes to complete a game. That might just give you a general idea of what's going on in the industry.
Plus if they didn't produce a game with such graphics, no doubt the same gamers would be crying about how the game looks "last gen" and it would get horrible word of mouth.
Overall though, you might want to get more educated on the industry as a whole, because I can surely tell yours is lacking.

The Witcher 2 cost 10.36 million to make.
That game has better graphics than most every game available even today counting ps4/one games.
So don't tell me that it requires 100 million to make great graphics. Witcher 2 has great voice acting, multiple language voices, amazing story, long game, amazing graphics and it only cost 10 million dollars to make.
Bioshock costs 15 million, crysis 15 million, gears of war 2 12 miliion, oh and E.T costs 23 million.
So tell me, does price justify the games quaility?
