lmao next up THE VIEW videogame .......... still better than Haze



what the....



So this game is rated M for language right haha.




I don't blame Ubisoft at all.

If a developer can make games like this for minimal effort, have them sell 500,000 copies, and make nice profits, then what do you expect? I'd be doing the same thing.

If you want someone to blame for games like this appearing on the Wii, then blame the people who buy it.

This is getting out of control... This kind of garbage is scaring core gamers away from the Wii. I don't know if Nintendo cares or not for their hardcore fans at all, but if they do, they should put a stop to this inmediately. I don't think that the Wii will achieve the success many predict if only casual gamers are the ones caring for their products.

In my opinion Nintendo is poisoned with their recent success and that could be lethal for them in the long term if they stand still doing nothing, pretending that this gen is over. I mean this gen is already finished, Wii has won. But next gen Nintendo will be in trouble if people associate Nintendo's consoles with shovelware and casual stuff.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Last I checked, "core gamers" have enough sense to not base their opinions of a system off of the worst available for it. Be honest with yourselves: when was the last time, in a game store, that you seriously stopped and stared in awe at the fact that a licensed game or piece of shovelware was actually on a game system you liked? And when was the last time you seriously considered dropping your use of a system entirely based upon a game (or series of games) that you never intend to get anyway? No, if you're like most people, your eyes slide right on past the stuff that doesn't interest you, and focuses firmly on what does.

Stop trying to fool yourselves into thinking that gamers are weak-willed people who will drop their entire hobby at the sight of a single piece of licensed shovelware and write off their often-thousand-plus-dollar investment as a wash. There is a place for this kind of software, and that is for people who do not see it as shovelware, but as games about something they enjoy. Ubisoft is targeting the downmarket as well as the upmarket, live with it. This isn't even anything new or shock-and-awe-worthy. Countless other companies have also been doing the same thing since video game companies first started getting licenses to make titles based off of movies, TV shows, comic books, and so forth.

So will this be rated 18 for foul language?

Why? Bad-mannered kids (90% of current gen) can do during meals lots of things much more disgusting than foul language   

Corporal punishments should be restored asap

Oh, and one more thing: if this anti-Ubisoft nonsense is STILL because they openly admitted that they finance their upmarket games with the proceeds from downmarket games, then you'd better update your boycotts to also include Electronic Arts, Activision, Nintendo, LucasArts, and countless other game development firms. That's just how the market works: you make games which appeal to the masses to draw in finances, then you use the funds from those mass-appeal games to make the games that appeal to the core gaming audience. Trying to make and sell a core game otherwise is an enormous crapshoot, and if it ends up a market failure, you've just lost a boatload and could well have your company sink on you. Making downmarket games to finance upmarket games is a form of risk minimization.
