Forums - Gaming - Titanfall exclusivity proved to be (quite) pointless

I was overexerting. It's over 60 awards, and this is not exactly a bad or good thing. I just hate this approach. 


??? I'm confused.

If it got trillion awards, doesn't it mean that the game must be good?

Isn't it a type of self promotion on the cover? What's wrong with self promotion?

Nothing, that's why I say it's not exactly a bad or a good thing. It's neutral. I just happen to hate it. You don't always have a perfect reason to hate something all the time, y'know.

I don't remember any post release award... just pre-show awards.



Actually check the XO North American sales, definitely not pointless.... they've almost doubled since its launch.

But yeah it didnt do as much for hardware as MS hoped but maybe in conjunction with XO exclusives as well general next gen exclusives coming out later this year, it will allow the system to outsell the PS4 for the rest of the year over there. Only in Japan could one piece of software "save" a system (monster hunter). Obviously its sales aren't low enough to suggest that it needs saving but you know what I mean.



Zoo Tycoon was pointless...

If it was good before it got released imagine afterwards.

Self-explanatory. GOTG.

LOL

... but the XO still can't catch up to the pace of the PS4. There's very little else MS can do to change that. Assuming the gamer market is of pretty similar size for 8th gen as 7th, the X1 won't come even close to matching the 360's sales. While that's enough to secure some 3rd party support -- it'll mean less variety for X1 owners as what they had on the 360.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Ok there are some silly and slick jealous comments in this thread. The one to me that stands out as the silliest is the "real gamer" post. Lol who is this dude to determine what a real gamer is? Utterly ridiculous.

i no rite? i cant believe it missed out on the elusive "best release of march 11th" award or the coveted "best game with a mech on the cover" award. Among all those other awesome awards people hand out in March.



Titanfall makes people feel some type of way.
It's non writable.

I guess it won't win awards at the end of the year too... it is a 8.5/10 game.
