Forums - Gaming - You guys need to stop trolling about MadWorld...

I presume they make certain expectations based on install numbers no? I mean, SEGA should have known that a game can't sell more than the total number of consoles sold (for I don't know which game).

 

Well anyway, it's also sad that many hardcore gamers pirate rather than buy. At least the Wii owners that I work with... But they do that with everything. Yet, I reason that if they would have to buy the games, they would by the hardcore ones, so that would produce more sales fot those kind of games.

There are two things a lot of vgchartz users claim without anything to back them up:

- PS3 is a console for jRPGs.
- Wii can sell 3rd party core games.

Now, I dont have anything against Madworld (this is my 1st comment about it), nor do I have anything against PS3. I just want people to either stop claiming that or to show me a solid proof already. Madworld was probably seen by many as a possible proof, thats why you get this "trolling".

How about the fact that... 3rd party core games have sold well on the Wii? I think that backs up the notion that Wii can sell 3rd party core games, but I may be wrong.

I think you can't even compare it to No More Heroes, This game is trying something no other game ever did before it and while it accomplished that it doesn't mean most people will like a black and white color scheme.

Check higher up on the ppage, NJ5 listed a few.

...Unless you want them to be non-launch titles, non-holiday, non-franchise games.

In which case I just don't know what to tell you.

Insofar as that goes, SEGA is reportedly happy with initial Madworld numbers.

Starwars: The Force Unleashed   1.21m

Call of Duty 3   1.15m

Call of Duty World at War   1.02

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles    1.26

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition    1.54

Red Steel    1.18

 

Pretty good considering that list is mostly ports and spinoffs.  There aren't many "core" 3rd party Wii games that much effort was put into, although this is starting to change.  I'm sure there are more, but I just took this outta someone elses post.

Well many people want this game to bomb, in order to get satisfaction from bashing Wii and its owners all over internet, personally i think the game will get to 500k and will be just fine, but it wont never stop fanboys from being douches. Thats how internet works

This.

This is a sales tracking website... there are many gaming sites that don't track sales where you could make that complaint, but here it's totally out of place.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

How come I don't see people here rooting on casual titles for the PS3 or 360 the way people root on EVERY SINGLE M-Rated game on the Wii? I say this with the declaration that Peggle is an evil game. So, to balance that, I will announce, I don't care about MadWorld. I am sorry, but I don't get off throwing a guy in a dumpster and watching the lid of the dumpster slam down and cut him in half.

I wish the M-Rating would have a sub-category for, "Childish mentality" as a warning, for games that appeal to pre-teens for excessive violence or pointless sexuality.
