Top Ten Video Games That No One Bought!
 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...ne-bought.html

I'm not quite sure that is a good thing or a bad thing that SW is on there.

I don't understand how SW and GTACW got there (since they are awesome games - why would no one buy them?!), Little King's Story is just aimed at the wrong audience. Nobody wants to be a 'little king'.

JSRF is on there, that was a damn good game as well. This is hardly a shock though. Often the greatest games go heavily under-appreciated.

Anyone here play Darkness? Fucking awesome game. No one bought it.

SW didn't sell, mainly because there was zero marketing for the game. No one had heard of it, and I suspect many stores never even put the boxes on display.

Where did Darwinia go?

Lynched by a creationist mob.

I think they're only talking mainstream games. Darwinia has sold pretty well for an indie.

Sekto Springs: They're talking about Jet Set Radio, not Jet Set Radio Future. Not that the sequel did much better.

I own and have played 3/10 of those games. How did everyone else do?

Only played BG&E, but I'd like to play SW, JSR, and Psychonaughts.

At least BG&E is making a comeback. Hopefully, the marketing will do it justice this time.

Well, Ubisoft are currently undertaking the wonderful marketing approach of "BG&E2? What BG&E2? We never said anything about BG&E2!



And if you don't believe me:

Meh, sounds like they're beating around the bush to me as well. They even confirmed that Christophe Heral is returning to do the music.

EA is known for only advertising it's own games and games from a franchize they have killed.

Me too, and most probably the same as you...

I plan to buy GTA:CW though

Has anyone played 'Little King's Story'? It sounds fun from that description.

It's supposed to be a really good RTS/RPG game (with lots of good reviews). But you wouldn't know it from the name.

With SW in my local shop, there was only one copy of it - in the discount bin because no one had heard of it.
I've played SW and a brief bit at Panzer Dragoon, so that is two for me. I dispute their choice in best video game music though - Grandia has a better score than Final Fantasy :p

why is Killer 7 on the list? I remember it being big in sales

SW was good but too different, I remember being really pissed when I first read about it, I wanted to see ME or a sequel to MO, it was really fun though, just too easy for an Oddworld game. Also I wonder how they would've tied in Stranger's story with Munch and Abe's, I heard that's what they were going to do, like a group of native avengers.

i didnt buy it i think it was way to off the topic of the first games and sorta just killed the game

Doshin the giant? Loved that game

I haven't played any of those games O_o Apart from SW

That's pretty much exactly what I would've said, apart from I didn't enjoy SW =/ I was really hoping for a ME as MO was amazing, the character designs and storyline, shame it didn't have the same charm as Abe's games.

on that list Ive got SW, Psychonauts and BG&E, SW is great, I love the areas where they give you loads of space to let stranger run at full speed,

disappointed the BG&E2 is on hold

Actually, right here in Bumfuck, Canuckistan, we had a cardboard stand up with a big picture of Stranger on it in front of a game store. Not sure if it was advertising SW so much as just "THESE ARE VIDEO GAMES CHARACTERS RIGHT HERE."

I remember magazine ads and G4 had some commercials with Stranger.

2/10 on the list for me.

You should of pinched that stand. Probably coulda' fetched an easy 50 from one of us over-obsessed fans on ebay.

Except it wasn't just Stranger, it was like, Link and Master chief too. Worthless.
