I was told with great confidence that the leak meant the game will flop.Get woke, go broke
Let's be honest, most of these sales were due to the first game.NPD results (US only)

Excuses have already started
Let me try this too. Ahem:
Let's be honest, most of Breath of the Wild sales were due to the previous games.
Let's be honest, most of GTA V sales were due to the previous games.
Let's be honest, most of Cyberpunk's sales will be due to CDPR's previous games.
For you maybe, definitely wasn't the case for mePretty sure it was the zanana influence
Even IF Nintendo makes a bad Mario or Zelda game (which hasn't happened in a long time), it'll sell in millions based on fanbase for these franchises. The continued sales of the game, as in case of BOTW, are due to strengths of the game itself.Excuses have already started

GTA V early sales were good because it was a GTA game. The number of sales it garnered after that for many many years are purely on its own merit.
Yes, many of Cyberpunk's early sales will be due to Witcher 3. Sales after the initial period will be based on the game itself.
Ah, so all the other examples are, or will be, because of the strengths and merits of those games.
But TLoU 2, for some reason, only broke PlayStation sales records and sold about as much as the entire PS3 versions LTD sales in a single month because .. reasons ?
Let's be honest, this is nothing but clutching at straws lol.

I guess there can never be a mature discussion on PG without fanboyism. Carry on then.Ah, so all the other examples are, or will be, because of the strengths and merits of those games.

I guess there really can't.
A game X person doesn't like simply cannot be a commercial and critical success without caveats and excuses.

Have a look at this guy lecturing others about some games winning on merit, but coming up with excuses when game X he doesn't like becomes a commercial and critical success.
Yeah, check that guy out who clearly states it as his opinion and doesn't call others fanboys when they disagree with his reasoning
Let's be honest. When someone is making bad faith arguments, they tend to crop and post selective comments, not the entire exchange.

"I'm not saying it didn't win on merits, I'm saying my excuses were a bigger reason" . that's one approach
People still salty about a game's commercial and critical success after 5 years

Terrible comprehension of obvious post aside, still ignoring the fact how it's clearly stated as the users opinion and doesn't end with user calling anyone disagreeing with him a fanboy
I guess Nomad is right, it really is difficult to have a decent discussion without needless fanboyism being inserted

But....you are a fanboy. Nomad is right. That's just a fact he pointed out lol
So Troy Baker in a recent podcast said that:
"Tell me one thing that makes David the bad guy. I can state a case that David and Joel could be mirror images of each other"
Did he just compare Joel to a pedophile cannibal who tried to rape a teenager Ellie?
Its amazing how much length he is ready to go to for shitting on Joel to please uckmann..
Also uckmann in the same podcast with Troy also said that "I underestimated that how much people loved Joel"
Looks like they both need to play TLOU more than I need to play TLOU2

Contrary to what was said earlier, The Last of Us 2 has caused a huge spike in TLoU Remastered sales as well.

Since no one shared the OT maker's favorite critic review, I guess he'll have to do it himself

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
