Dead Space failed on HD? It sold over 1.5 million copies between the 360 and PS3, thats more than No More Heroes, Tales of Symphonia, Madworld, The Conduit and Okami combined...its the bigger question here why very few wii owners buy good 3rd party exclusives or perhaps why 3rd parties even bother??

Even so, reviews are there to speak for whatever quality the game has.

If it can get an 83 despite having some large bugs... It definately has quality.

That would be true if videogame critics had any sort of critical standard.

They don't however... reviews don't count for anything.

Videogame reviews have no credibility unlike reviewers of movies, cars, literature etc.

Additionally, videogame reviewers get their income from one source more or less.  Videogame advertising.  Which makes it even less credibile.

If you look at other critics, they are usually paid via advertising from things that are NOT movie advertisements primarly.

Videogame reveiwing is a sham.

I disagree.

The only reviews i count as not credible are reviews from "Official" sites. Or ones based solely on hype for many of the big name titles (GTA4 says hello).

If it was such a sham there wouldn't be so much hype for reviews or so much hate if a game doesnt get a AAA review score.

At least, that's what i think anyway.



                            

I like this thread and the direction it's going.

Too bad hardcore-psychodrivle is much louder than those... words of wisdom.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

Why would you hope that those studios would be closed?

1.5 million = fail now?

1.5 across both platforms isn't exactly steller.  And it didn't meet EA's expectations, that's what people are basing that off of.  But the BIGGEST question is why people who have no interest in Wii care so much about 3rd party game sales on that console.  Not to mention that the term "good game" is subjective.  But I think Eric Alston's answered you question in the OP: remember everybody, nobody cares what you think various games "deserve" to sell! People buy games based on their tastes, not yours. So if you want to go "OH BOO HOO CARNIVAL GAMES OUTSOLD DEADLY CREATURES," you can find plenty of hardcore sob fest threads on other websites!



While I agree with your post, it sounds ridiculously butthurt and bitter.

Ridiculously.



 

 

Surely most games are like "test" games.

If any given game doesn't sell well the given company won't make the same type of game for the console, right?

if MGS4 had bombed & sold less than 1 million, would we see MGS5 on PS3?

I mean they called it a "test game", but there must be so many games designed with that very purpose that we don't see as "test games".



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I agree with this thread for the most part.. Make the damn game GOOD and worth $50 and maybe Wii owners will buy it!! Gee what a concept!
