Sega gaymes were never good
The game received generally positive reviews from critics and sold a million units within its first week of release, making it the fastest-selling game in the series to reach one million units.p3 reload was 2024 and not a failure
>>738705561>Sonic makes more money from the slop movies than from the games
>>738705561Maybe if you didn't put denuvo in your games I would've brought them, get fucked
>>738705561Good, sega deserves less for their crimes against PSO and for falling for the microshaft partnership A SECOND TIME, KILLING THE SAME IP A SECOND TIME IN A ROW.
>>738705561B-But I thought Crossworlds was the mario kart killer? How did this happen?
Sega being retarded again. More news at 11
>>738707995>B-But I thought Crossworlds was the mario kart killer?MKW killed itself lah mao. Jewtendo and Nutendo Adults made sure of that.
there's a vocal minority online who gas up shit games like sonic crossworlds because they think it will hurt nintendo But then MKW sells fifteen million copies on a brand new platform with no install base and SCW sells 1.5 million copies on an install base of 500,000,000
>>738708341You lost. And don't attach yourself to Sega, you parasite.
>>738707947PSU was entirely sega's fault, nobody wanted them to make it for PS2 except them
>>738705561most sega games were censored trash ports of older games. no surprise they failed.
OK, time for bets. Who's going to buy SEGA?
Yakuza infinite wealth is literally the best jrpg ever made and its sad that they fucking fumble the series with entries like kiwami 3. FUCK
Who will eventually buy them?
>>738710481Why would any company buy sega
>>738711881I would buy them to make official porn.
>>738706059>Sega is being killed by its own flagship franchise because they can't make a good game to save their lifeGrim
>>738705561Modern Yakuza games are so fucking ass dude.They're made for the westerm quirk chungus audience in mind.
>>738705561>SmEGmAClearly they need better DRM, Denuvo wasn't enough :^)
>>738713216It's argely because SEGA were making Sonic games $40 because they were sloppy shit full of recycled assets from a decade ago.Now they've raised the prices not because the games aren't sloppy and filled with recycled assets. But because the movies made the character more popular. It was never going to be sustainable.
>>738713891I stuck with it through 8, but I cannot take this shit seriously at all. 8 jumped the shark and now they've truly gone off the deep end.Tried the Kiwami 3 demo thinking they couldn't possibly ruin their old games and they somehow managed to ruin everything.
Sega has never made a good video game.
>>738705561>roviois still wonder why they ever bought that crap
>>738705561Obviously they should make Anpanman games
>>738705561I know how they can improve. ADD MORE DENUVO TO EVEN MORE TITLES! Surely Denuvo is securing the few sales they got, they need to double down on it.
>>738705561Crossworlds didn't flop at all
Wasn't the specific wording that sales were up but profits were down? That would moreso mean Sega's spending too much money making these things
>>738705561I can believe Kiwami 3 flopped, there was nothing but bad press for it and I really don’t think we needed remakes for the PS3 era games. Crossworlds underperforming is super unfortunate. I haven’t had as much fun with any other racing game and as someone who’s played both, I’d put it above MKW
>>738718192you've never played MKW
>>738705960Nah, they have some good ones. But people rarely if ever talk about them.
>>738717594Sega clearly reported it didn't sell as much as they expected.
Why hasn't Atlus made Sega more money? Their releases have been underwhelming since Persona 5
>>738718825With the marketing they did and the competition they were up against, it was never going to reach their expectations.
>>738718192>Crossworlds underperforming is super unfortunate.Well maybe they shouldn't have priced it at $70 with a $30 day one season pass. They got too greedy.
>>738705561>All Sega games flopped this past yearUncs tried to make sp games in the age of fortnit/roblox duopoly...not good!
Definitely not looking good for Crossworlds since they also say they're expecting sales to remain the same going forward.
Yakuza flopped in the West>Yakuza blew up as memes on the internet for western audiences.>The sales tell a different story and are tepid and worse entry after entry, Japan and Asia are indeed the majority of sales and that share seems to increase game after game (despite overall sales being lower overall)https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/bloomberg-netease-to-stop-funding-nagoshi-studio-as-it-cuts-back-on-gaming.4452/page-2#post-406650>sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan. Sales in (the rest of) Asia are also quite strong, but the momentum in Japan is even greater than in the past.”https://automaton-media.com/en/news/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth-dev-surprised-by-unprecedented-speed-of-sales-and-big-change-in-sales-pattern/
>>738707995Even if it was selling great, all those licenses aren't free.
>>738710481Sammy. Decades ago.
>>738719061Doesn't help that every time I heard about Yakuza I kept hearing about how they made old games worse in their remasters or how every new game flanderizes the setting more and more. Glad I never got into it.
>>738718864Because Atlus hardly puts out games these days.
>>738706028>p3 reload was 2024 and not a failureIt's the Switch 2 port. I'm not surprised, the port is absolute shit and has optimization issues, just like the PC port. It was Atlus' first game on UE4, but it shows they don't know how to make games on it.
>>738717453>Tried doing a free weekend for Crossworlds>Denuvo blocked everyone that tried playing Bravo SEGA.
>>738705561Why dos this zombie company still exist? Just sell this piece of shit to Microsoft and make them put it out of its misery like Rareware.
>>738705561SEGA was always GAY FAGGOT TRASH. Look up their history in gaming. They were NEVER a stand alone company, they were always a division on another company. They were always a leech on another company's goodwill.
>>738705561>Sonic Crossworlds floppedas expected after they spent their money on retarded ads to jab on the superior racing game. >Persona 3 Reload Switch 2 floppedmaybe if they didn't released it with zero dlcs at full price it wouldn't flop. Specially with how you can already buy the other versions at half the price on psn, steam or amazon.>Yakuza Kiwami 3 floppedit was always the worst Yakuza so no surprises here.>This also ended up with the cancellation of the Super Game™this is actually good news.
>>738718864Because the only money maker Atlus puts out is Persona and they haven't made a new game people cared about since 2017.
>>738705561That’s the problem, they’re kind of like Capcom, in that they’ve got a MASSIVE catalogue of IPs that popular at some point or another, but spent so long ignoring them in favor of being “the Sonic/Yakuza/Atlus factory”, that nobody who isn’t an old boomer like me remembers.Hell, I would pay for a 1:1 port of Astal.
>>738718864No Persona 6 on sight and Metaphor underperformed due to everyone waiting for a Royal version that doesn’t exist
>>738707995Only the most delusional sonicfags actually believed that.
>>738705561>Sega has reported that their new releases in the fiscal year (SonicCrossworlds, P3 Reload and Kiwami 3) have floppedYeah no shit. Overpriced compared to competition, Sonic can't compete with MKW, no reason to buy this when Nintendo released bangers. I bought Outlaws and FF7R instead. Overall Capcom/Square Enix are better than SEGA
>>738705561>charge over a hundred dollars for a friendlsop racer>act surprised when it flopsAre they doing it on purpose or are they that retarded?
Sega is at the forefront of "Japanese companies who desperately want to be western" so they don't get my money anymore.If they want to BE western then I'm going to treat them like they're western, they better hope the modern audience shows up in droves to give them money instead.
>>738719061When will companies learn that secondaries and third worlders spamming memes and shit on twatter are not actually paying customers?It's insane how every industry falls for this shit, from movies to cartoons to comics to video games.Like good fucking lord.
What's with the shitty bait lately?
I genuinely think Metaphor having no romance hurt its sales potential.It's like the entire point of these games to some people lol.
>>738722506>fast sellingwasn't this the first Atlus/Persona game to release at the same time worldwide?
>>738722590I think anyone who thinks that way should never be allowed happiness.If you can't enjoy a game without the validation of a woman, fictional or not, you are not a man.
>>738722590every female party member still wants to suck your dick in that game dude, they just didn't bother putting in 5 minute long date events
>>738722715MC also has a canon love interest with the fairy who he sleeps with every night.
>>738722769as it should be.
Crossworlds should have been $40 and they could have bragged about it being half the price of MKW.Instead they went out of their way to make it $70+ a $30 battle pass.
>>738722506The report is about the Switch port
>>738705561Why did they buy Rovio again?
>>738724039Because they are experts in the mobile industry and would help them to develop games like… huuuuuh…
>>738705561Good, these games were awful.
