Yeah, I'm the dumb one asshole. Have you ever heard of marketing? A games title has a lot to do with how it's perceived by consumers in the marketplace. Hence the reason Japanese games have been struggling the past decade compared to their Western counterparts.

For instance, I can all but guarantee you that Binary Domain is going to flop based on it's name alone.

Since sales is all that matters then COD is the greatest game of all time :smug:

People are retarded and you just helping me out.

Seeing that phrase usually means a pretty dumb argument just took place:joeybats:

TL/DR version?

He just said Binary Domain is gonna flop cuz it's Japanese then proceeded to talk about its "stupid name" and Marketing a "stupid name" isn't a winning idea or something like that. Disregarding that the game could be a fantastic game basically due to it's name. So basically sales and success measure a good game. Cuz there aren't gems out there that people only find out about after hearing about it from someone else.

What Twigg and most fail to realize is that those names are chosen to create a mystery. Only way you can understand the title is to play the game and see how it's related.

OH AND Japanese games struggle compared to Western games because they have dumb unrecognizable names.

And what you fail to realize is that when a game flops, like Binary Domain will, there will be no more in the series and the studio will probably shutter.

Again, your dumb ass is putting words into my mouth. I never once said that how much a game sells has anything to do with the quality. Hell, I even pointed out that Birth By Sleeps dumb ass name has no bearing on it's quality. But if a game sells jack shit, like Shadows of the Damned and inevitably Binary Domain, it is a terrible trickle down effect. And it all starts with that title.

Before you open your dumb ass mouth, I'm also not saying that KH:BBS sold shitty. That game would sell well based on the KH name alone. But that doesn't make the subtitle any more stupid. WTF does Birth By Sleep mean anyway? Dream Drop Distance? I can give you the answer for the latter. It means absolutely gibberish. It was just their super cool way of incorporating 3 D's in the title since it's a 3DS game. Get it? 3 D's on the 3DS. Brilliant!

Have you ever heard of 'You don't get a second chance at a first impression.'

But yeah, a game's title has no importance whatsoever.

Go ahead and defend your dumb ass ridiculous title and have Thomas' equally dumb ass Thank your post while he's at it.

If it doesn't subside before then you should call a doctor.

Was thinking of buying GTA 3 on the PSN (for when I get my Vita) but I saw gameplay video of it and GTA:CTW for the iPhone...each are $0.99. I have Vice City on my PSP.

edit: got it confused with GTA:LC on PSN....not GTA 3.

 

[JayDizzle]

I'm definitely getting Vice City for PS3.

You'd find it for less on PC or even used in the PS2 junkpile though.

Even though I own it on UMD, might still pick it up....depends how much I use the Vita. Think it goes for $15.

Twigg when a game flops that means it didn't sell well. Meaning sales is the key to success in your eyes.

 

[KNUBB]

and it has more to do with the actual name than just 3D. Like I said each one of those titles have a meaning and is a mystery that can only be explained by playing it.

Got both and have played some of III.....having fun with it early. I wish the Vita would at least put 2-3 games super cheap bi-monthly (if not weekly)....never going to happen.
