Every game I mentioned was #3 in the series. :PQuote:

I'm guessing Deus Ex Human Revolution didn't sell very well either?
Uhhhh.... oh yeah! Skyrim sold well. That's a #5!Quote:

Barring that, a thief hideout). He then proceeds to acquire a series of macguffins that open the way to the endboss who may or may not be ganon.
How close am I? :wacko:
But seriously, all games can fall under this category. UMvC is pretty much just a repackage of last year's game with some new characters. Which itself was an incremental upgrade for MvC2. Which was little more than a roster upgrade and a slight engine tweak on MvC. Which was an extention of MSHvSF. Which was an upgrade of XMvsSF. Which was just Children of the Atom with Street Fighter thrown in, which wa-
Yeah, I'm gonna just stop there.
So wait, you're saying this isn't accurate?Quote:

I thought the story was neat, but the overall gameplay was boring. I would of like it much better if it was just a movie.
I was ready to add more HURRRHURRR if it were necessary :wacko:
What about Uncharted 3, Quiji, is it selling well?
The 20 minutes or so that I played of Human Revolution seemed cool :wacko:Quote:

But woah, I would call MvC2 to MvC3 an incremental upgrade. I'm a fan of many fighters, and that time they actually tried to basically change everything. Not like Street Fighter Alpha to Street Fighter Alpha 2, the changes in MvC3 are huge, it's a completely different game. And even the changes of UMvC3 surprised me. Yes, 12 more characters, but they legitimately changed every single character already in the roster in pretty noticeable ways.
Oh, and at some point he acquires the following upgrades:
A better shield, a better sword, a bow, a boomerang, bombs, a hookshot, and some form of musical instrument.
I want that HURRR to span the page. TABLES SHALL BE BROKEN. LIKE THEY'LL BE BROKEN IN WWE12. BECAUSE. :wacko:Quote:

Likewise, there's more going on in those shooters than "I have a gun and I shoot things blam blam oh shit killstreak".
Ehhhh, fairly good for a PS3 game.Quote:

So for what it is, I sold 70 copies of it. Easily the most sold PS3 exclusive, but I did sell around 300 Modern Warfare 3's for PS3.
So yeah, pretty good I would say. But I think it will sell even more since Sony has released an Uncharted 3 holiday bundle 320GB PS3 that is a really good deal. I already sold 7 of those jawnts.
I fucking loved that.Quote:

Capcom is a bad example when comparing incremental upgrades.Quote:

Cool, cool, even if you quoted the wrong post :wacko: you gotta promote it to make the naughty dog happy.Quote:

Everyone is always spouting how Uncharted 2 is the game, easily the best game since Super Mario Bros. And I played it, I liked the characters, I liked the plot, I liked the explorations and Tomb Raider climbing, but damn I did not like the shooting parts. Escepially near the end-game, it just got so ridiculously boring. The mechanics are great, but I dunno.
"Basically the exact same engine" being the key phrase here. UMvC3 uses the exact same engine as the last one. Also, costume packs. Jill and Shuma. All of which are on the discs (Sage is awesome). Just sayin'. :wacko:Quote:

Aren't Jill and Shuma are already unlocked in UMvC3? I'm fairly sure they are. And yes, it's an expasion pack where they fix things, but the basic point I'm making is that they're not charging a full $60 for it. They know it's just an expansion with mechanic fixings, so they aren't selling it for much, and it's a great deal for someone that didn't pick up the first MvC3.Quote:

That's the first Street Fighter in a long time I didn't pick up brand new, in fact I got it from my roommate for free.Quote:

It's nothing more than a deathmatch meatgrinder, and there are other games out there that do it far better. Not to mention, I /do not/ understand why people pay for the Elite garbage. They're essentially paying for an empty promise.Quote:

Or we could throw in the alternate costume pack and UMvC3 is now $10 more just so you can get all the stuff that's on the disc. :wacko:Quote:

I really don't care what other people spend their money on. The games that I enjoy are still coming out (BF3, CS: GO, Skyrim, stuff like Homefront, Limbo, etc.), so it really doesn't effect me. Call of Duty is nothing more than a social term to me now.Quote:

And man, I cannot defend Capcom fully. Although Activison is far worse, Capcom isn't that great either.
I'm just going to toss this out there:
I had a crazy dream last night. I was for some reason sort of dating my good friend's sister. I've no idea why. But I woke up, and I've been thinking about it all day, and I don't really think I love my girlfriend (of 1.5 years) any more. I'm not really sure why. It just seems that things have been pushing us apart for quite some time. Namely her parents and schedule. The more I think about it though, if she can't make time for me, there are plenty of people out there that will. Idk. Maybe I'm just making a rash decision, but I think I'm about done with it.
Map packs that are contained entirely within the download itself.Quote:

But the thing is, they don't really sell that well. Since they rarely introduce a character via DLC that goes above mid-tier. And the online gaming community for those games? Tier whores.
