The same was true for TOR as well, newfriends.

it really isn't
this is the only place bashing the game relentlessly, i know you're desperate for a failure but this isn't it

>i'm only pretending to be retarded
haha

>it really isn't
why not?

It's actually GOTY but whatever helps you sleep at night, tranny.

Sorry but RE3 remake was the giant failure, this game is fine, it's just the retards that expected a 1:1 remake when it was stated that it wasn't going to be that

not really, it's wildly popular right now

you can make up a bunch of weird ways to qualify if a game is successful, but we already know how to quantify it and that's with money so yes

it's successful

>but we already know how to quantify it and that's with money so yes
>it's successful
Just like the old republic?

It only looks that way cause every other place is censoring and deleting criticism of the game.

And on YouTube its clear as hell that all those scumbags that got free copies did so under the NDA that they cant talk bad about the game. Its cute watching those fucks mince words and try to talk around the bullshit that is in this game and the bullshit changes.

Publisher Elctronic Arts announced on an earnings call that The Old Republic is now closing in on $1 billion in lifetime revenue. "Believe it or not, we are close to $1 billion on Star Wars: The Old Republic revenue from the start of its history," EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said. "So it's a business that just keeps on going. We like those types of businesses."

Yes.

because of reality

So was ME3 when it came out.
So was The last Jedi when it came out.
So was Dragon Age 2 and 3 when they came out.

Its easy to claim something is popular when shit tons of marketing shoves it into everyone's face.

we did it bros

Mass Effect 3 sold over 800,000 copies in its first 24 hours, and its opening month sales were twice that of its predecessor's, selling over 900,000 copies on the Xbox 360 version, outselling the PlayStation 3 version 4 to 1 and bringing in over $200 million in revenue.

Mass Effect 3 sold really well, that's why it's considered a success. This is about the maximum effort I'm willing into arguing qualifications of success.

A lot of trash things make lots of money. Lots of movies the get tossed into the dustbin of history as trash and garbage make lots of money over thier lifetime.

What matters is the follow up titles and games they put out dont do as well. And their reputation cant be bought back even if the game or movie made money at the time.

You are one short sited fuck with no vision on the bigger picture.

Bro, you need to explore other sites. Lots of disappointment out there and censorship by journalists. The only ones praising it are twitch streamers paid to like the game.

No, you're conflating "good" which is a subjective quality with "successful" which is quantified via sales.

Cry all you want, but these games are successful and responsible for the direction of the market.

And it ruined the reputations of both Bethesda and EA. You cant BUY back reputation no matter what the PR firms tell you you dumb fuck.

>ruined the reputations

With who? The whales and normies seem to be completely fine with it, not sure what the opinion of a couple thousand spurned gaymers on basket-weaving forums matter in the grand scheme of things.

You're right and you're wrong.
Yes TOR was defended by game journalists and reddit, yes it was financially successful, yes there was overdrive marketing on all those other sites to defend TOR and you had to come to Yas Forums to get the truth; it's all the same in that regard. I'm half convinced the people defending the game on here are Square Enix marketers just like EA marketers came here to defend TOR back in the day as well.

The difference is Yas Forums's reaction. During TOR, the main emotion on Yas Forums was hillarity at the complete embarassment of a game it was. During ff7r, the main emotion on Yas Forums is rage. Yas Forums is absolutely SEETHING instead of laughing.

If they destroy the reputation of the company its not successful.

Your interpretation of successful is the only subjective thing here.

It made money up front. But most likely cost them 10x more in future losses you dullard.

You really, really need that to be true.

so BOTW is a tortanic scale failure

The same was true for TOR as well, newfriends.

Andromeda sold like shit because of ME3

People weren't willing to trust the brand anymore

No they were not. Cause their future games do less sales as a result of the trash they put out.

I dunno I'm having fun

Nah its pretty much the same. And dumb as fuck retarded shills like you use these same old moron arguments every time.
Yas Forums is always right in the end.

It is true cause we can look at the end result of projects the followed. Like Andromeda and the crash of Star Wars battlefront.

Stop being fucking contrarian for the sake of it.You use the same old disprove merely by the march of time arguments that were used to defend shit products every time.

are you joking? the ending being garbage was not some vocal minority opinion
and if you think ME3 souring everyone on the series wasn't part of the reason everyone, including garbage game journos who would've praised it otherwise, treated Andromeda like a public toilet

Oh boy the im having "FUN" nothing argument that is used every time a game is a disaster to try to defend it. Never seen this used before.

Yas Forums is literally always wrong because this place is so contrarian it invents alternate realities just so it can be a special snowflake with unique opinions, and then claims everyone else is lying/a shill/reddit/jews or whatever to "prove" that they're secretly right. If you think the endless wojack shitposting here is in any way representative of the real world you're fucking delusional.

Yup and Tortanic also made people avoid future EA star wars games.

I don't know what to tell you, both EA and Activision/Blizzard are still financially viable companies with rising stock prices.

I know you WANT it to be true, but besides a mild inconvenience most of the public has completely forgotten and absolved them of their sins. You don't even see "Free Hong Kong" anymore.

Yas Forums and /r/kotakuinaction are never going to make a difference, video games are big business now that it's completely in the normiesphere.

I don't know how anyone feels about the ending, I'm just looking at the money.

It's a fucking video game, it's a fucking toy
Jesus christ

Its hilarious you cite those numbers cause they expected those games to sell almost 5 times the amounts they actually sold. That makes them failures on all fronts cause they planned and projected much higher sales. All their marketing and more clearly failed.

Is it as big a failure as the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

All it's done is shift their focus from lifetime sales to pre-sales and microtransactions.

have sex incel

Yeah problem with your point here is they expected this game to make them almost 4 times that amount. If the game does not hit is expected projections even if it eeks out a profit its still a failure on the corporate accounting level. Which is why they dont talk much about the failure after the fact other then a throw away line like you quote here.

So you admit it was a failure and the adjusted numbers down. That is what your statement means.
