First of all.
Fuck you.
You are one of the most whinny fanboys I have ever seen on gaf, the bore, wherever. You constantly complain about every single series you love, bitch that they don’t do what you want, and then act like you are the most biggest fan ever. Like you claiming that people who played Yakuza for a year....even brining it up sums that exact kind of fan you are.
You do not know what my taste or opinions are and you are the last person that gets to call anyone a fanboy. Not when there are years of agonizing Shenmue posts from you.
2nd, my logic is the most simple logic to follow.
Action rpgs=Easier to market.
Turn based=More niche.
Why the fuck would I compare FF to Persona. Why would you compare Yakuza to FF. You simply can’t wrap your head around simple market fact. All anyone has to do is really look at ReMake 2. Why wasn’t a multimillion AAA Remake a tank controls, fixed camera angle horror game. Because Capcom is not an idiot and knows an over the shoulder action game is the most accessible. And this is in a world where ports of Remake 1 and 0 sold well.
It is the exact situation here. An action FFVII is probably going to do better then a turn based. It’s even more logical as fucking FFXV exists.
You want to compare Persona 5, but that’s stupid. Persona 5’s 3 million is well below the sales goals of fucking FFVII Remake.
Again your argument doesn’t make any damn sense. No one said a turn based game couldn’t sell. What is being said is there is probably a ceiling.
And I brought up Persona 5 because as a niche series, it’s in the same ballpark as Yakuza. You know what’s not in the same ballpark?
Final Fantasy VII.
Oh but you see a turn based FFVII sold millions in 1997.
Yes, in 1997 where we didn’t have action games like Devil May Cry, open worlds hadn’t been cracked open by GTA3, rpgs weren’t trying to be Skyrim, third person shooters had lock on, Bungie didn’t show people how console FPS worked on console, and arpgs weren’t far removed from Ys gameplay of running into enemies.
It’s almost as if times have changed and games exceptions, development trends, tastes, and so on have changed.
Oh but Persona 5 did well.
Yeah and?
Uncharted does well. Dosent mean the trend isn’t open world games or multiplayer focused games and not a risk in single player focused narrative games.
Devil May Cry 5 has done about as well as Persona 5. So I guess God of War should go back to it’s more combo heavy gameplay. Oh wait it probably switched to more Souls influenced because that’s the current trend and oh gee probably was expected to bettter and did better then DMC ever would have.
It's less that you're open to anything, and more that you're just loyal to certain franchises and refuse to admit it. You're a fanboy. That's fine. But you refuse to admit that and use a poor wall of logic to defend your fanboy preferences while also demeaning and be condescending or even much less understanding to other people's preferences. Which makes you more than a fanboy now. Now, it just makes you an a
Ive never seen someone project so hard in my life.
The reality here is because like things you don’t or are fine with them, you feel the need to condescend and be an asshole to them.
Because you know if what you said was true, I’d still like Metal Gear...
But whatever I don’t give a shit. You’re on ignore.
