>if a game is good it will sellNo one ACTUALLY believes this, right
>No one ACTUALLY believes this, right?>Litrrally gets proven every day over and over and over and overI truly wonder how someone as brain dead as you functions in life
>>729196152Name a good game that did not sell.
>>729196530>>729196363>>729196152Star Fox Zerofinally i can shut yall up
>>729196927I don't know if that counts since I didn't play it.
>>729196530All of them. You haven't heard of them because they didn't sell, thoughever.>>729196363So flappy bird, uma horse race, undertale, and fortnite are suddenly "good" now because trannoid retards like them?Lol.
>>729197189>If a game is good it will sell =/= if a game sells it's good.
>>729196152The contrarian in me is compelled to disagree but niche games tend to sell poorly due to being niche, so yeah.
>>729196152Marketing sells games. That's a far more impactful and up front element than something as nebulous as quality. Word of mouth, perhaps, but that's just free marketing at the end of the day.
>>729197253I've played good games that didn't sell well. You can use "if a game sells it's good" as a reference though.There are plenty of shit games that sold better than the better games sold. Lol.
>>729196927star fox zero is not good
>>729196152If a game is good it will sell, HOWEVER, bad games can also sell. And often, much better than good games. Good games don't often hit the 50mil copies mark that publishers expect.
>>729197375>I've played good games that didn't sell well.How did you play it without buying it?
>>729196530TunicBionic CommandoHalf Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy Okami
>>729197527I don't know if those count since I didn't play them.
>>729196363I can tell you about Dogshit games that sellKirby
>>729196152Eventually yeah If God hand was still available for sale a lot of angry threads would be shitting on it
Zack & Wiki was a very good adventure game that used Wii's controls well and sold like shit. Cyberpunk 2077 released in a completely untenable state and sold millions regardless because CD Project Red's logo was on the box. A game's quality doesn't translate to its sales.
>>729197627Pretty sure you can still buy that legally on the PS3 online store.
At this point there are more bad games that sold well than good ones
>>729198613Name some recent good games that sold poorly
>>729196152If a game is good enough (aka GREAT) people will let you know. The word of mouth will make it sell.
>>729198670FF7RMetaphor ReFantazioKingdoms of the Dump The Knightling
If a game is good...it will sell.
>>729198890People have shit taste retard
>>729198670New digimon
If I never heard of a game then it's a bad game. Sorry but that's fact.
>>729197437>the 50mil copies mark that publishers expectOnly 12 games sold 50M+ in the entire history of vidya
>>729196152but if game bad, why game no sell? if that true, then that mean if game good, game sell.
>>729197504I was just the only person who bought it.Lol.
>>729196152truly good games sell OK, mediocre games sell the most, and bad games sell the least. this is how it will always be. a game being good is directly proportional to how niche and unappealing it is to most anybody.
>>729196927>Star Fox ZeroHOLY BASED, that game is so fucking good it's crazy it was slept on.
>>729199941I wish I wasn't heavily near-sighted to enjoy Star Fox Zero.
>>729200416idk what that means, but I'm sorry. Because that game is so good, they did everything right, but just because you have to use gyro it filtered people. You can use amiibo to unlock SNES polygon arwing and glass cannon black arwing, OR you can 100% the game and unlock them TOO. incredible. also came with Starfox Guard, it's Five Nights At Freddies before that shit polluted the internet.
>>729196363god hand was a massive failure, it's peak gaming, so, you are the brain dead retard here
>>729200583Gyro isn't the problem. My problem is my eyes can't adjust between the TV and the Gamepad. If we got Star Fox Zero on Switch or Switch 2 I'll try again.
>>729200814you can press (-)minus to switch between cockpit on tv
>>729199039That's true, but you don't play the big AAA games everyone "loves", you play the hidden gems, the cult classics, and the interesting looking games in the genres you love. You listen to word of mouth, then use your own discretion.
>>729196530
>>729199664You think publishers care about that?
>>729196530>>729196152Lol granblue relink is an amazing example of your point
>>729196152>if a game is good it will sellThis is 100% true. The issue is that you didn't specify how MUCH it will sell.
>>729199664The Witcher 3? The fuck is Human: Fall Flat?
>>729196152A game only needs good marketing and good pricing to sell at release. The quality doesn't mean shit at that point, same as a theater movie. If it is good quality it will keep selling long after as in the case of Wind Waker.

>>729196363Explain gacha then.
