Space Marine or the uDraw?
Cause Space Marine sold well over a million, in fact about close to 1.5 million when it was still with THQ. Even Homefront which was seen to kill THQ actually turned a profit.
The udraw on the otherhand had around 1.3 million UNSOLD copies and really was what killed THQ since for every game they made that was good and turned a profit they made something completely assine that sucked all their money away.

And "BioWare Montreal," just like "BioWare Austin," was never actually BioWare to begin with.
I am mostly amused and a little mad that "BioWare" is making a Destiny knock-off. What a perfectly EA move: acquire a developer known exclusively for its RPGs, and make them develop a flavor-of-the-month "shared world shooter" thing to cash in on the current trend.

They did the same shit with Visceral and countless others. After they forced them to fuck over the Dead Space sequels they made them make a Battlefield f2p knockoff. Why they feel the need to buy out developers and then force them to make games in genres they have no experience with is beyond me. Then again, it's not like the people in charge of EA have displayed a shred of intelligence ever since Trip Hawkins left.

Part of the problem was they tried to make an MMO. That tainted everything else because had they spent the money and time needed to get all that bullshit together on something else it might have been alright. For example, enemy variety is terrible. Once you have seen all the enemies in the first area, you have seen 90% of the enemies for the rest of the game. This wouldn't be as bad as it is, except 90% of the game is the combat, which fits right in that uncomfortable area where its active enough to bother you, but not active enough to be fun.

You know how some games go with the Morrowid approach where the player CAN indeed break the game with it's mechanics?
The crafting system in that game can break it in half. After fully using it and farming the components, at max dificulty and near the endgame:
>big ass troll rushes me
>strikes
>he takes so much torns damage (reflect) that it's enough to stun him and he falls back
>he dealt 7 damage out of my 1543HP
>I regenerated that in a second.
>I could just sit there and watch him kill himself
>or I can press one of the number keys and instantly kill one of the heaviests HP sponge
Then the final boss died in 6 hits.

Very fun GTA clone set in WWII Paris, you're a mick race car driver and womanizer with a loud mouth who runs around stopping Nazis from building freakishly huge guard towers and flying Zepplins over Paris by getting in fistfights and throwing dynamite. Has a parkour system where everything single building can be climbed, and at least half of the game is just exploring Paris and planting dynamite everywhere. When you get a wanted level you can hide out in a whorehouse (among other hideouts) and all of the female characters have titty physics. There was a day 1 patch that uncensored the tits in the nightclub where your first base is, as well as adding an uncensored burlesque show in the basement. Not a single word about muh 6,000,000,000,000,000 and all of the Nazis are cartoonishly evil to the nth degree. All in all, a solid game with few bugs that is fun to play.

The game is the definition of too many cooks, just a slight expansion of any of the mechanics in the game would improve it.
If it had a deeper skill system, then maybe it wouldn't be so boring to level up and max out all skills.
If it had a deeper combat system, maybe it would be more exciting to fight basic enemies.
If the fate meter did more than just activate a glorified cheat mode, then maybe people would have a reason to use it.
Apart from the sprites, which buff each other, enemies are too similar to one another. A human mage and a fae mage both use the same goddamed spells. So does a cultist that supposedly summons demons. If each enemy had something more unique to each if them, then it would be more exciting to fight them.
The worldbuilding is okay, I liked how they had proper fae but disliked how they included watered down Tolkien elves anyway. The stone statue people were pretty neat too.
The best part of the game is that it's proof that Skyrim is trash, since even the quests in this game are better than Skyrim's. If Amalur were a 5/10, barely functional with missed potential. Skyrim would be 4/10, even mods can't fix this.

Yes, nice solid combat and story too. I can see why it flopped though, the marketing was terrible and some fans angry at the dev changing up their style thank god they only had 1-2 QTEs in Binary Domain and even those felt like 'because we had to' last minute things and explicitly targeting a western audience.

And honestly, the nazis in the game spend most of the game putting AA guns everywhere, building hundreds of guard towers and driving kubelwagens around.

Man, I remember hanging out on the Pandemic boards back in the day right before the game's release. You wouldn't believe how many faggots were desperate to defend that piece of crap even though every piece of media released was pointing to it being unfinished, unpolished garbage.
It kind of makes me curious as to what went on behind the scenes of the development.
>The Saboteur was their swan song.
It's hard to overestimate just how badly LOTR: Conquest's failure fucked The Saboteur's chances for success. Pandemic lost a lot of faith from fans with the former, so the latter was barely given a chance.

>If it had a deeper combat system, maybe it would be more exciting to fight basic enemies.
I thought the combat system was deep enough, they just needed to expand the move variety for different weapons.

I expect they realised LotR was harder to translate into the Battlefront formula than it looked and then the talent started to drain away. Combine that with the EA by-out and it's an understandable flop but still a sad one.

Probably also cost them investment in advertising.

Not really, especially if you were using the thunder hammer. Their whole advertising was making fun of GoW, and the cover system it popularized with "cover is for the weak." Problem was that the melee was too good, especially with the hammer, so you would just wade into a crowd of enemies and never have to worry about dying so long as you paid a slight bit of attention. The only time that didn't quite work was when you were dealing with enemies that were just outright impossible to get to when you didn't have the jump pack.

No, a lot of people here share your view. There are just a lot of people (like me) who liked the first game despite its flaws but think the series lost its way in the sequels. And there are some people who think the sequels were completely better and they're wrong.

I booted it up expecting another Undying, an atmospheric adventure shooter with horror elements.
What I got was about 5 minutes of looking around at an ugly console shooter world through ugly console shooter toilet paper roll field of view before I shut it down.

The story of the uDraw gaming tablet
>release tablet peripheral for the Wii in 2010
>it's plugged into the Wii Remote which gives it battery power, motion/tilt control, buttons and makes the peripheral wireless, that would save some money on tech
>sells 1.7 million by early 2011, which was over THQ's expectations
>at this point in time there was 90 million Wii owners
>make a version for PS3/360 for holiday 2011
>have to change up the tablet peripheral design for these consoles a bit since some of it's features were fulfilled by the Wii Remote
>add PS3/360 buttons and motion control sensors, also enhanced the tablet with pinch and stretch and rotation
>ship a million of these to retailers
>They proceed to not sell at the $70/80 price and have to be discount at $50
>Still have OVER 1.4 MILLION uDraws sitting in THQ warehouses
>The hardware and software losses in total went to around $100 million
>uDraw team layed off, brand is officially over.
>PS3/360 version were only produced for 4 months

Devs and publishers got greedy and started looking for a new audience in hopes of boosting sales to new highs. They bought into the social media meme, so they took suggestions from no-life faggots that whine and virtue signal on facebook and twitter to kill time. They failed to understand what a vocal minority is.

**Despite me always saying I love Arcade racers I didn't play Split/second and only rented blur and didn't like it much.
SS just put me off due to hearing it had a lot of rubber banding so that you could make use of blow shit up gimick. I just found Blur to be basic**
And now all arcade racers are dead, yay.

I fucking hate Space Marine. It's the most dull, brown, and boring game I've ever played. The environments consist of brown warehouse, brown canyons, and brown cities. The gameplay is basically a shittier saints row somehow. I've never played more generic 3rd person shooting gameplay. It's like they completed the base combat needed to be considered a game and said, "eh, good enough." The only fun thing is this game is the jetpacks. Nothing else about this game is good in any way.

It actually sold really damn well. Like 1.2 million copies in the first 90 days. But 38 studios spent way too much money on it's development along with an upcoming mmo they were also working on and needed it to sell 3 million copies to cover the cost. RIP Project Copernicus. I actually feel bad for Curt Schilling on this one. He just wanted to make good games.
