Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 What a mistake it was to release this right before Elden Ring. Pretty much everyone forgot this game existed once ER came out. Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,238 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 He's now hating on other Playstation games because they make A Played-Out Tale looks like a minor B-game when the game is on a platform that actually gets exclusives. The Game Awards was a week and a half ago, and he's still bitch-pinched about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,211 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The game sucks ass Link to post Share on other sites
Quad Damage 1,738 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 so forgotten it charted in the august, september, and november npd's, which gives it more npd appearances this holiday than A Poor Man's Tale and more npd appearances in the second half of the year than ghostz.

bhytre 2,753 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 It's a soulless franchise with low IQ mass appeal. It's remembered like it's forgotten Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,585 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 It's the 8th highest selling game in NPD year to date, NOT including bundles lol Was even in the Top 20 chart for November. If only every game could be so forgotten 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I did enjoy what I played of the game even though I never finished it. But the combat was often a mess and I just didn't like it much, in fact my feelings on it are similar to how I felt about GoW Ragnarok's combat. I don't know what it is about Sony and their action based games lately but playing them really leaves something to be desired. Im hoping Spider Man 2 breaks that trend.

Remij 4,682 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Elden Ring completely robbed this game of any thunder it had a chance of generating. Sure, cows may have bought the game in support because it was a first party exclusive game... but nobody really gave a fuck about it. Elden Ring was the talk of the town, and after that cows turned to the more promising upcoming God of War: Ragnarok to focus their hype efforts on... which Elden Ring also ended up dominating I mean, some people here couldn't even be bothered to play Forbidden West, nor Elden Ring... which just goes to show that they weren't really that interested in it in the first place.

Nah, the game earned its praised for its amazing graphics. In fact, the early "scandal" about some visual issues regarding brightness levels and some things that weren't loading properly was the only things that held it back. Nobody ever made a comparison between this game and Elden Ring, or put them up head to head. This game accomplished everything people were expecting from it. Gran Turismo 7 probably took more of its spot light, because it came out two weeks later and comes with much more reverence from gaming publications. Link to post Share on other sites

Gran Turismo 7 probably took more of its spot light, because it came out two weeks later and comes with much more reverence from gaming publications. People definitely made the comparison between this game and Elden Ring. People were literally calling out that Elden Ring was going to do to Forbidden West, what Breath of the Wild did to Zero Dawn... We all drew the same parallels before both games even launched. There wasn't really anything that held this game back.. besides Elden Ring. Cows showed up for the game and bought it, as they feel compelled to support Sony's first party games. They also bought forced bundles as well, which skews overall sales numbers. I'm sure this game will hit high sales figures overall... but that doesn't mean that everyone who has this game actually wanted it. Even Mala got it and didn't want it at first.. or so he says. The hype came and went. GT7 is much of the same story. Tons of bundle sales whenever new shipments came in.. which would also spur more retail sales... but GT7 didn't rob anything from Forbidden West... it was all Elden Ring.

No they weren't Is this the stuff you tell yourself in your head? I love how you're pretending that the game underwhelmed, when you have been given repeat proof of it selling very well. Its hilarious how you try to retcon shit, with no proof, and nobody remotely buys it. LOL Link to post Share on other sites

That is the gayest excuse I’ve ever heard lol. I bought the game and beat it because I loved the first. The second was way better (imo).
