@egidem: Obviously not enough to matter. Prototype series was crap and here's the result. Good riddance.
I loled at this article and not in a good way.
Gwahahha!! HNNNNG!!! HAWWWWWW! I'M POWERIN' UP BRO!! HNNNNGGG!!!HHAAARRR! KAMEHAMEHAAAAA!!!!
Lol G4.
I like all the bugs and glitches Bethesda gives it's games.
*crickets*
I like these guys.
Yeah..no. Souls games are legion.
Who cares? Kratos is a generic looking, "RAAAWRR I'm angry" crap of a character.
Did that joker just put "arse" at the end of that wall of driveling text? Lol!
Oh darn....
Yeah, Policenauts was a pretty crummy game as well.
Thanks for the laugh 1nsomniac. But then again, a person that spells insomniac like that is bound to be a riot.
Yeah and God of War was a rip off of Devil May Cry and Castlevania: Lament of innocence.
@Clemins50: Just do humanity a service and throw yourself into oncoming traffic.
I'd add Metroid Prime to that as well. All in all, I agree.
Mad bro?
Pokemon, FF, Kingdom Hearts, the Souls games, Persona all sell great in the west.
Only if tepid button mashing, QTE spam game with a laughably angry, poorly designed guy that looks like a scrapped Mortal Kombat character was a threat. Then yes, they got scared.
The only pattern I see is bug riddled, ugly games that play the same and with the exception of WoW and Fallout 3, only appeal to a small group of basement dwelling. neckbearded, D and D types. RPGs that actually changed things and sold more than just about anything you listed: Pokemon, Final Fantasy, the Souls series, Kingdom Heats, Monster Hunter, Mario and Luigi, Dragon Quest, Xenogears, Xenoblade, Chrono series and Vagrant Story.
