Thanks for the invite and I hope Ozium's friend request wasn't hiding in there for ages.
Strike 1:
Xboner exclusive
Strike 2:
is seen as a Kinect control title
Strike 3:
it's cray cray
All of these limit the amount of people that will buy it =p
Kinect controls are optional though, no?
Yes, but perception is important.

Very true.
Strike 3 doesn't bother me if the game is good... but It's on Xbone AND uses Kinect? Automatic no sale, especially if I were to perceive that Kinect was integral to the experience.
Then again, I'm the crazy bastard who has a grudge against KLEI and just tweeted the devs of Ethan Carter asking about an achievement patch once they launch the PS4 version.
i doubt people really know that

It's selling poorly because Microsoft literally came out and said "Hey, this is out tomorrow" after an extended period of radio silence. Which seems incredibly silly but hey, at least they funded it.
SWERY isn't Beyonce.
SWERY isn't Beyonce.
it was marketed (heh) as a Kinect-focused game when it was first revealed.

It tells you flat out when you start the game you can use the controller. But yeah that fact should have been main with the kinect secondary.
Game is great though did my part and bought it.

this is getting depressing
Not just that, but they went extremely dude-bro with the way they promoted the system. It was pretty much all NFL/Halo/Titanfall etc. Sony was the company that put forward the impression that they were embracing all the interesting quirky stuff, even though a lot of it isn't exclusive.
So even though the One's install base isn't terrible, they probably don't have the right type of audience to market this to.

OK I'm a few hours away from finishing Fable...I've totally forgotten some of the combat moves cuz I hate always struggling with enemies that block my attacks and the charge attack never comes out sometimes.
Sooooo 9 PM on Sep. 30th for me.
Does Mordor have a pre-load?

Or it would have been bundled within a week like Deadly Premonition
Yep, preload is live.
thanks pal. I'm with you on PS5. The new game from zeboyd is our last best hope.
I would help you out but currently my trader told me to keep the shop closed. So I can't help anyone out right now sadly :/ I want everyone to get Mordor.

Did GMG send out codes for Mordor yet?

I'll just assume you typo-ed, but thanks, how big is the preload? Gonna start it when I get back home, need to also reformat my brother's lappy so it runs Windows 7 since it oddly crashed on him yesterday and he had to reformat @_@
Très fast considering my internet speed.

I want to get Mordor but honestly I need to stop buying games right now. I've pretty much bought most of what I was wanting and none of it was at full price thanks to bundles, sales, GAF posts, etc so at least that helped things out. I'll pick it up later though.

Games don't get funded on Russian game prices and 99 cent minimum bundles

Made it to 400 Steam games thanks to a bundle that had Blades of Time in it. Big deal for me; I'm not much of a collector.
Thank you, SteamGAF. Never would have bought so many shitty bundle fodder games if I hadn't lurked in this thread for years.

I don't know, but I certainly hope so, since the game is <72 horus from release and has pre-load available. I'll be keeping my eye on this, as I'll want to know how they'll be handling The Evil Within.

Only the minority buys from traders, and bundles are optional, no game is forced into one.

Be strong. Play your backlog, man. Your backlog! SoM will be there next month.
This is what blows my mind. Everyone keeps blaming MS due to marketing.. yet so many Steam games sell great with almost none.

A year ago I have a hundred and seventy something games, I have 450 now, GAF did that to me.
It's a Mac app, man. I use Windows.
I had 800 at the end of January this year. I'm at 1843 right now. I do wonder if this rhythm will keep up.

The original post that your responded to was in regards to bundles and "deals" of undisclosed origin
Sudden, surprise hits like Rust are few and far between. Not to say many games don't do incredibly well on steam, but I imagine the expectations or "selling great" point for something like Neverending Nightmares and D4 are somewhat different.

I'd hardly call Rust a sudden surprise hit. I mean yeah, it sold well beyond expectactions, but it's a Garry's game. Good sales were basically guaranteed.

GAF Giveaways/Raffles, Humble Bundle Store, Green Man Gaming, Bundle Stars...I've never used a Russian key or anything of the sort
and I did pay full price for a game...bought The Vanishing of Ethan Carter at full price this week (forgot about that)
