Shadow of mordor has about 7 times the player of Shadow of War, and likely had a smaller budget considering the maps and their sizes along with how quick they made the game. That said, shadow of Mordor is about 5th the price, and has been out for a while with sales at $1.

It's the same goddamn game as CoD 1 or 2, just slightly prettier. And I mean the same fucking game in mechanical terms. How Activision thought they could release this snorefest in 2017 and pretend it's anything than an uprezzed CoD1 is a mystery for the ages.

This actually isn't unreasonable, the Germans had been fighting on the eastern front for 3 years and some of them took enemy ordnance when viable. The eastern front was known to be hell and so some of the more successful veterans might have been stationed in the west as a reprieve from the harshest tour of duty. That said, there should be like one German who has one and it should be an officer.

Nein. You didn't get to keep spoils of war let alone your own rifle when being moved around from fronts.

Meant to say that most games make the vast majority of their base product sales within the first two weeks of release, similar to how major movies can know if they'll flop or not after two or three weeks.

Not anymore. You'd be blind not to notice Hollywood pandering to the Chinese market, but a notable instance of a movie actually being SAVED by delayed release in a foreign market is the Warcraft movie. Same goes for the one Matt Damon starred in (Great Wall-based movie with absolutely shit props and costumes) and the very good sci-fi Edge of Tomorrow that Tom Cruise was in, and that one was a freaking manga adaptation. The Warcraft and the Chinese movie got saved by (lo and behold) the Chinese market and Edge of Tomorrow utterly flopped in the US (30 mil total takings, which is abysmal) but was a smash hit everywhere else. The Blade Runner sequel had the same thing happen due to staggered release.

So I guess once they've utterly exhausted Skyrim they can still spend another half-decade re-releasing Fallout 4 on every single new platform.

Retribution was fucking terrible.
I think I did Spehss Muhreens and Imperial Guard playthroughs and then an Ork playthrough. Didn't touch anything else

What a disaster for Bethesda. The game may end up selling a fifth to a fourth of the previous installment.

Is it really a disaster though? TNO was released 3 1/2 years ago and has been through 3 holiday sales. I guess it depends on how much it cost to make the game/advertise. I hope it indeed ends up being a disaster, but it's only been out for a month.

They've already had a very aggressive sale for TNC (50% off) and they're allowing people to play the first level for free. This is for a game that released just a month ago. If that's not desperation, I don't know what is.

Too bad it brought in a massive influx of refugee 4cuck cancer here.

Ok so this is what I don't get about the developers of DoW3
>game 1
>gains a dedicated fanbase who will purchase sequels
>instead of making a normal sequel they instead make
>game 2
>totally different and alienates the fanbase of the first game
>still somehow manages to gain a dedicated audience by a fucking miracle
>you now have 2 separate but equally passionate fans of 2 different games that you could make sequels of
>don't do any of that because you hate (or perhaps love too much) money and instead make
>game 3
>alienate both your previous audiences
>reap no rewards
>do not collect $200
>do not pass go
>do go to jail
I mean what was even going through their heads? I don't get it at all. Were they just blinded by the idea of more money? I thought the best bet in business is the source of money is one that is slow consistent growth over time rather than the insane one in a million bet that you could somehow attract a THIRD entirely different audience that was somehow not already courted by the warhammer license in the past all while marketing the game TOWARDS fans of the first two.

Because once the first two games sold well despite being very different, they made a not-completely-illogical assumption that people were buying because of the 40k license, not the quality of the games. Therefore they can take the 40k license, keep it somewhat RTS to make sure the previous people still buy it, but massively change it to get normalfags to buy it.
Honestly I don't think them changing the game up a third time was even the issue. The issue was they thought they could make RTS games work with normalfag tastebuds. Some instead you get a game that is basically a stone's throw away from being a fucking mobile game.

The most important sales for a AAA game (and indie to a lesser extent) is the first 3 months or 90 days. This is part of the profit model AAA companies use and they actually don't have a lot of time for a game to break even without this model since they still have to pay all their expenses. Even if the game sells well next year they still took a loss the year they failed to sell the game.
