NGS2 will FLOP in Sales

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="simslifer"]

what reason ? because it's a new ip that no one knows or because it was a platformer not fps which usually sell good or was it the fact that it wasn't advertised good.

yea with those reason it shoulve sold 8 million lol

truthfully LBP had everything going against it and it beat the odds.

simslifer

Nah, because it has tons of appeal and a massive advertising budget (don't fool youselves people, this game had marketing behind it). It was 2D and in an easily accessible genre and it was mulitplayer and pick up and play style gameplay. I knew the game would hit 2 million and I was right. The only thing LBP had going against it was an expensive PS3, nothing else.

that game was definitely not advertised liek it should and seriously 2d platformers don't sell good where do you get it does in this gen ?

expensive PS3

new ip

not a fps

no advertisement

it looked too kiddy for hardcore gamers

I personally believe the reason it did so well is because of word of mouth from ratings, magazines and people who played the game.

LBP had huge advertising. I'm not arguing this with you, it did end of story. As far as being a 2D platformer goes, of course there haven't been many high selling 2D platformers this gen, there have been like 3 all together lol. However being 2D makes the game instantly more accessible to the average person and being a platformer makes it in a genre known for accessible gameplay.

Expensive PS3: Already said it had that against it
New IP: Not an excuse, tons of new IPs have sold well this gen
Not an FPS: You're really grasping now
No advertisement: You are wrong here no questions about it
It looked too kiddy for hardcore gamers: You're really grasping here. Also, what makes you think these "hardcore gamers" bought it? What even makes you think "hardcore gamers" dislike inventive art?

Despite me knowing you would lie on the games behalf you aren't getting anywhere with that kind of reasoning.

advertisement, I personally did not see any.

if 2d was more accesible more 2d games would sell good, it doesn't matter if it has accesible gameplay most people don't get interested in 2d platformers anymore sad but true.

mostly established franchises sell more not new ip that's a fact, new ips generally have to prove themselves.

I am not grasping the FPS genre sell the most, platformers especially 2d ones do not sell good unless it's mario.

the advertising was lackluster as far as I have witnessed but maybe it was different for you.

I like hardcore games and I at first thought it was kiddy until a friend convinced me to buy it and friends that I have who we play Call of Duty games I tried to explain to them that it's a good game but they see it as a game for kids.

the game does have a reputation of being kiddy there's no question about it I even hear jokes on PSN.

Right.

Becasue there was no hype for lbp.

It was not praise to sell a boatload and boast ps3 hardware sale.

It was not one of those wait and see title.

It wasn't advertise at all.

Damn sony need to advertise there game more.

I say it now and you can qoute me on this,no matter how much better it is than more than NG2 it won't sell as much.

calvinx6

Uh...congrats?

We alll already know this, LATE ports enhanced or not rarely do.

No one is claiming otherwise either. Thanks for stating what most of us all know though.

[QUOTE="DeadMagazines"][QUOTE="funsohng"] not sure about bioshock, but lost planet was just horrible...Kahuna_1

Yeah because they released it during the fall and it had to compete with SOCOM, LBP, and Resistance 2. The game had no chance, they should have released it during the summer. Also, who wants to pay full price for games that are over a year old..

oh well, it'll still be the superior game.

[QUOTE="Melkari"]

Probably. However, that has no impact on whether it's the better game or not.

simslifer

to lemmings everything revolves around sales lol

if you look at their game library I dont blame them.

Cows never buy the supposed superior versions of their year old ports. Just look at bioshock and lost planet sales figures for ps3 :lol: DeadMagazines

Sounds like somebody is jealous that Sigma 2 will be the game that NG2 should have been.

360 hasn't scored an AAAE since last year Gears 2 compared to 1 AAAAE and 4 AAAE in a matter of months 2 this year while 360 has 0 this year.

As long as it's better then the first NG2 that's all that matters and from I've been reading and seeing it is. I should have never bought it for 360, live and learn though.

This ladies and Gentle men is what you call OWNAGE.

thank god i didn't play the flawed x360 version,i will be getting the game for sure so will the 1 million NG2 owners who will now try to play the real NG2 not a flawed DEMO>>>>>> sales will exceed 1.5 million, and you can quote me on that.

Well since bayonneta got delayed till Q1 2010 guess I will get NGS2 since I still didnt play NG2 though I didnt play the first one but the CO OP mode in NGS2 is intresting me.

If this game continues with the bad camera angles and having to use the RT to make it change then the prediction the OP has will come to pass.

The camera is THE ONLY THING that kept (IMO of course) NG2 from greatness...shame the Dev's didn't learn from the original on Xbox

[QUOTE="Couth_"]That's a given. Don't all NG games flop in sales?calvinx6

NG2 sold over 1 million copies.

Good thing that there are loads of people here in System Wars that remind us that sales do not dictate the quality of a game. :)
