Sega Makes Good Games, Nobody Cares - 06-30-09

Remember MadWorld? Ultra-bloody hack n' slash gorefest with Sin City's graphic style and Sam Raimi's one-liner wit? Well, it released to praise from the press over its bold mission to bring a new age of mature gaming to Nintendo's little white box. It even rated an average score of 81/100 on...

Re: Sega Makes Good Games, Nobody Cares

Well, I bought MadWorld, Both House of the Dead games, and recently The Conduit. Idk what else one individual can do to help. We as a collective, need to focus our attention if we want another chance at mature wii games.

Re: Sega Makes Good Games, Nobody Cares

i had my wii since day 1 and i never bashed it.....reason is that i play third party games while i wait for the first party games. I have madworld and the conduit so im one of those people who actually know that the wii has good games. Mad world can be beat in 3 hours if you skip all the cutscenes and focus on creatively killing guys to rack up the multiplier.

For instance.......take a couple of signs, a trach can or tire, a bat, and then hit them into an oncoming train or spikes all the way across the lvl.....now that is some big points there......as for the conduit.....i was really hyped about that game. And yes....it did live up to my hype. The first 50 percent of the game sucks but when you hit the last 50 percent the game becomes a all out holly crap fest. Theres fun around every corner. Now while the online chugs/ not lags, with the more people that you play with it is still really well done. It only has a disconnect feel from lack of wiispeak with random people, but still its addicting. i play at least 5 hours a day just online.

So what i think is that people are still recovering from the economy and some big titles on other systems didnt do as well as planned. They still sold good because ninty doesnt have that many HARDCORE gamers on their system as other companies do. I do think The Conduit will still sell more.


edit......and yes i do have a 360 and yes i do buy games like gears, left 4 dead, Fallout 3, etc etc.......but to also my credit.....what im saying is coming from me and my wii60 fanboy self

I think the poor sales may also be due in part to the negative attention parents and the media gave to the game for its "unique" violence. Parents •••••ed so much about the game it couldn't help sales.

Well, I didn't think MadWorld was that good. It's just a game filled with killing people in the most bizare ways.. Seriously, that's not fun!

Re: Sega Makes Good Games, Nobody Cares

No Sega did not make House of the Dead: Overkill or MadWorld because sega just Published them. The developer of House of the dead overkill is headstrong games and the developer for MadWorld is Patinum Games why not give them the credit? Publishers just buy rights to the game/'s and do marketing manegement, money management, advertising and distrubution. (maybe other stuff to like sound recording and other resources)

And i thought sega doesn't make games anymore?

Exclamation Re: Sega Makes Good Games, Nobody Cares

I personally think that Sega doesnt sell games IN GENERAL because they became
un-trustable when it came to selling games when they RUINED the Sonic series with games like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Heros.
