Basically, yeah. The rest of the games shown I have no investment in their quality but I want a good Ratchet and Clank.

Magic being broken beyond belief is part of the reason I really didn't like Demon's Souls, but to be honest I should learn by now since it burns me in almost every game because I do not like playing magic users.

In hindsight the only Souls/Kings Field game Ive unabashedly enjoyed is Dark Souls 1, and it felt like someone perfectly channeling my complaints about demon's souls into fixes.

I loved demon's souls and the first time I played through it I didn't really use any magic. If you don't like magic users, how did you know magic was OP?

Everytime Id look up for help for a boss/difficult area there were two presented solutions "use magic" and "learn to eat dirt until you crap diamonds". After beating most of the 1-3 stages and kind of trudging my way along, I decided to restart as a magic build just to see if the grass was actually greener. After absolutely obliterating the first few bosses I quit.

What was bad about it?

In a game about using various cool time powers you have to collect them in level. And not like, one power up = one power, you need multiple pick ups to get one activation. The levels are also surprisingly ugly and the game's charm washes out after a stage or two, and combat is another mess of "you have to pick up objects in the world to attack".

You'd think the sequel would go "ok, lets put time powers on a cooldown and give him a basic attack" but nope so that "franchise" died a fast death. If someone at microsoft was capable of ripping of Super Mario Oddyssey you could have a good game.

Looks like Wonderful 101 flopped, again.

Barudak
May 7, 2007

Bayonetta 1, MGR:R and Nier sold real good. Bayo 2 (rerelease) and Astral chain sold good. Everything else middling to bad.

The kickstarter for Wonderful 101 was everyone who wanted it, and that wasn't many people.

Did their transformers game bomb?

I'd like to try that some time. And see a sequel maybe but I guess if it bombed then that's not likely to happen.

Its in the middling pile and iirc the license isnt with the publisher anymore so you can't buy it, similar to their Korra game. Their TMNT game is just straight up bad though

For some reason, I assumed Bayo 1 sold poorly because Sega wouldn't do a sequel, but Nintendo did? That whole situation with Bayonetta 2 (and 3 whenever that comes out) is still weird to me.

It sold more than a million copies in its first month, and was considered a big success for platinum but didnt meet their sales expectations which is probably why Sega put the kibosh on a sequel.

Towards the enemy, I didn't know people were misinterpreting that lol

My memory is basically every post on every gaming forum and strategy guide started with "push forward, towards the enemy to parry their attack and also buy offensive defense in the shop" because it was such a point of confusion and why the gently caress is the dodge move an optional purchase?

Uh, is there a source for Wonderful 101 being a flop rather than a poster just declaring it? Like has someone from Platinum said so?

Cause it hasn’t even gotten its physical release yet. The Kickstarter copies just started shipping. I don’t think you can declare a flop at this point where it’s been digital only for a month.

It didnt chart in Japan, so sub 1300 in sales, its out on steam with some pathetic concurrent user peak of like 140, and iirc didnt hit the top 30 of sales on switch digital store. Maybe it'll move a million copies on PS4 physical but signs currently point to "possibly worse than WiiU release"

Bayo 1 sold less than 2 million on a combined 90 million player base. It was so bad Sega stopped the sequel. It's why bayo 2 exists as a Nintendo exclusive and why it's insane to think w101 was gonna sell at all when it looks the way it does. W101 is a miracle.

I did note that despite selling at around 1.5+ it missed projections which is why Sega bailed on it. Still, selling 1.5 million of a new IP is pretty good even on a 100 million systems unless the budget for bayonetta was insane which I dont think it was, but this is Sega so Im probably wrong.

Probably also should have launched on PC earlier but that was prior to everyone and their mother realizing there was gold in them thar hills

I got an engraved back on the HD Zune, and the cute hidden "hello from seattle" on both devices was a nice touch.

Hellblade is a really good 3rd person experience that wants to be more than just a walk (mostly so it can leverage those mechanics against you later) but it is an absolutely abysmal 3rd person character action game. Go into it as an well researched and thoughtful (but still gamey) look into a quest of a neurodivergent person or expect disappointment.

The Surge 2 was really fun for your second point, but definitely a victim of "our budget is itty bitty compared to Dark Souls"
