ShengaliPosted 1/25/2013 11:35:08 AM | Kung_Fu_Fighter posted...And DMC4's lifetime sales in Japan couldn't even top DMC1's launch week sales in Japan. How awful. WOW, I guess that means DmC sales compared to DMC1 must REALLY be awful, and pathetic... |

The reboot is still hated by the small-minded who can't accept new things, despite the great reviews. It's been old news since the game was announced. Move on already. The small minded who cannot accept new things? Great reviews? Are these great reviews the same game review companies that loved the always online DRM of Diablo 3, enjoy every Call of Duty game and find them revolutionary? |
tehXdemiXaznPosted 1/25/2013 11:42:45 AM | People don't seem to understand that game reviews are unreliable judges of a game's quality. The mechanics have been dumbed down. Whatever the reason or result the more technically inclined of us disapprove of that. I was willing to overlook donte for a good combat system. There isn't one.

... Nope, it's still the same. |

Remember how high the review scores for Enslaved were? It played like crap and sold as well as it played. --- I JUST KEEP BURNNING LOVE! |

It played like crap and sold as well as it played. Almost 500k for a new IP is actually pretty decent. I would laugh if DmC didn't even manage to sell that much though. --- "We will be remembered for this. White Wall." |
IamthekuzalolPosted 1/25/2013 12:40:01 PM | The main purpose of rebooting the series in the first place was so that DMC could sell like hotcakes and attain astoundingly high sales. Failing to live up to hypes and expectations is one thing, but failing to even come close to achieving the already lowballed sales projection is just so utterly pathetic.
If it doesn't sell well, that defeats the whole purpose of "the reboot". DmC fails, plain and simple. Can't wait to see how MGR slaughter this abomination in terms of sales in February. |

Isn't it ironic that you still believe the media when one of the game's very messages is "DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA!"?
lol
while that's true, the other side of it it's also true.
see, people who don't buy this game only because other people on the internet say it sucks or only because it's a reboot, are not thinking for themselves. #Demons WE HAVE AWOKEN |
ShengaliPosted 1/25/2013 1:05:40 PM | hoagie727 posted...Yeah,
Because when I think I want increased sales I think, let's go with Ninja Theory.
Tameem has even admitted he doesn't care about commercial success.
Capcom knew they were taking a chance it would not sell well. ITP: Capcom's own admission of wanting more sales is apparently not even good enough. They went to NT for story, sales and such they thought they'd get via marketing and brand recognition. Protip: Interview where Tameem said that? After Capcom hired them, and after the sales goal was lowered. |

It's still number one. Haters gonna hate.
What's it competing against? "Number 1" means nothing without competition.
Don't know. Don't care. It's still Number 1. Also 245k is hardly much better than 100 something k Really? Hardly much better? Cuz it sounds like it's almost twice as much, and thus 200% better. |
ShengaliPosted 1/25/2013 1:21:03 PM | HellFire-Bahamu posted...I'm not hating on antis. In hating on both sides. I don't care about antis victory, cause I view it to be sad and petty and I didn't care about pros victories cause it was being boastful and Overzealous. I'd prefer if everyone just shut up, if you like the game, talk about the game and not bash those that dislike it and antis go pay attention to something they actually enjoy and stop cluttering up this board. I simply want unrealistic things apparently. Am I reading his post wrong? Or does this basically say "The anti victory is shallow, shut up", "pro victory is acceptable 'cause it is", and "now that things aren't going the Pro way, everyone should shut up and I'll choose NOW to be the bigger man"? |
