I really want to try this game out but the idea that it's episodic and they might never finish it due to poor sales is troubling.

Have they flat out said "No matter what the sales we will deliver the remaining episodes" at all? Or is it all based on how well this first batch is doing now?

I believe it's the latter, which is especially unfortunate considering dat cliffhanger.

Damn good trailer, deserves its own thread.

 

[exmachina64]

I have no idea what this game is about and have seen Zero ads for it probably why its selling like shit

 

[Gnome Scat]

Downloading now. Did it take an insanely long time for anyone else because mine has been going for a couple hours now and is only at 20%...

 

[Anarkin]

So is the game selling better now because of this thread? Any new numbers?

 

[Hockeymac18]

I don't think anyone really knows.

 

[spons]

There's so little new exclusives for the Xbox One at this point in time it's just absolutely ridiculous people aren't picking this up. I mean, there's this, a Halo rehash and Sunset Overdrive. I'd totally get this if I had the console.

 

[tokyostomp]

Can I call dibs on the Bayonetta 2 version of this thread?

 

[_Ryo_]

So, I was interested in this game but don't have the console... but I gotta say the visuals put me off after I watched a bit of a lets play just to see what the game was like.

Anyway I still hope people buy it because I love adventure games and anything to increase the chances of more of them is a good thing.

 

[AmuroChan]

I did not even know this game came out. Saw no previews or advertisement on this whatsoever leading up to the release. WTF is Microsoft doing?? If they want people to stop thinking that XBox is only about Halo and Call of Duty, then start marketing these other titles that add variety to your portfolio.

Project Spark is another such title. Comes out next week. Where's the marketing campaign for that??

Project Spark has been out for 6 months already in beta, I doubt the full release will do much for that title.

And yet I've heard virtually nothing about it. Is MS just going to let this die too??

 

[a secret-boss]

Bought the game already and I don't have Xbone yet

Yeah, that's the trailer I was hoping for. Hoping this game has legs the more people find out about it.

If it was dying it wouldnt be able to go from beta to full release with big DLC plans including the Conker pack and a retail launch next week. It was on-stage at two E3s and been around the store a lot, perhaps youre just not looking.

At some point reviews will go up in the next few days, it has its own twitter account and weekly twitch streaming I believe and theres plans for some trailers I think, not sure how they're going to do what they have planned fully

 

[StudsMcKewl]

Anyone have any updates on how this game is doing sales wise?

Not bad. They chose the right song.

Best part:

No way to know now that the leaderboard surpassed 10,000. It has dropped a bit from the "Top Paid" list on the store.

 

[T.O.P]

If some hands me an Xbone, the money for the game it self and five extra euros for going through the trouble of putting that filth into my room (I mean the Xbone), then I'll gladly support it!

Anticipating the moment

Anticipating the moment

Oh god that is terrifying D:

 

[Figboy79]

I really enjoyed the bit of Deadly Premonition I played before my 360 RRoD'd on me, so I bought the PS3 Ultimate edition when it was on sale.

D4 looks right up my ally, but I don't have an Xbox ONE, and don't plan on picking one up anytime soon. I would certainly buy this asap if I did, though. All of my friends also have PS4's, so I don't really have anyone to pimp this game out to. Sorry.

 

[Sioul]

I will buy a X1 the next year probably but..

 

[LordBaztion]

Nice MS, keep advertising the game.

Yes, Project Spark is different, it's a community-driven "game" (it's a game-making tool, really), and there have been constant extensive updates and interaction with the community. The base package is free, and across the three platforms that it's on, it's already found its audience.

It's not that they couldn't do even more to push it, you can always do more, but I don't see it as being in the same boat with D4.

 

[DownloadingData]

I lol at this topic. Save D4? You save D4 by porting it to PC/PS4/WiiU so that it reaches a wider audience. This is the exclusive that Microsoft does not deserve.

Since when did the Xbox have a good track record selling quirky Japanese games? Eternal Sonata? DOAX2?

 

[SteveMcqwark]

Is this an indie game?

Port begging gets you banned Jr, careful

 

[Leopold]

Can I have the $10? I really wanna play it but I'm broke.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

I already bought on launch day. Not much else I can do.

 

[Certinty]

Seems like my kind of game. Will probably wait until I buy it though because there's far too many other games I want in the next few months.

 

[Steverulez]

Depends if you consider a game funded and published by Microsoft to be an indie game

You bumped and then port begged a Microsoft paid exclusive. Goodluck. Your very first post too.

 

[Deified Data]

Definitely would have bought it if I had any intention of buying an Xbone.

Stealth console wars thread haha. Guys don't quote to give him a chance.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Dammit, I have an Xbox account with $150 USD and I would love to buy this game for my friends. Is there a gift system or something? I don't own an Xbox console anymore (I had those 150 dollars to use on my 360 but I sold it)

You won't be missed. Not a bit.

It hurts my brain!

OT: I just want to say, I'm glad MS are taking small risks on these kind of games.

D4 was definitely worth the purchase.

Ouch didn't even notice that the first time, hope everyone buys this game so by the time I get around to getting an x1 I can just get all the episodes

 

[John Harker]

Bought it. Played for just shy of an hour.

Didn't like it. Controlls are a bitch

Does not deserve lol

Why is this is shit continuously allowed on here

It's not, he will be gone soon enough

How much has the leaderboard entries increased lately for this game?

Yep, Trials was a good game.

If this dev didnt waste the marketing budget than it may have did better. Id get it but not a fan of digital or VN. Tried Pagan Ronpa, not too good.

What else has this dev made?

 

[Monty Mole]

Is this an indie game?

If you actually mean 'game not being sold at retail' then yes. But if you actually mean 'indie game' then no.

 

[Papercuts]

It's capped at 10K so there's no way to really know.

You've tried with and without Kinect?

If using a controller, set the cursor to FAST.

But Onechambara, DOA4, cave shooters, and ninety nine nights did well. Odd. Those are quirky Japanese games.

Didn't those games survive off of the limited 360 Japan base? The X1 is doing way worse than the 360 (in Japan...and everywhere).

 

[Doffen]

I would guess the majority of sales were in NA for all those games.

Nope, only the Japanese exclusive cave shooters did. Month nine nights got a sequel because of good ww sales for example. DOA4 was a big success. One chambara did decent for a niche severly low budget game as well.
