GH: WoR Sells Less Than 100,000 Copies

Eh, the first thing I thought when I saw the article was:

"So THAT'S where all the people that can't play for shit have gone"

Don't see it as a large sales drop-off - as long as we appreciate the game no matter what kind of hate it gets, then that's fine. Besides, everyone knows all the games that sell uberly well are often bought by the players that tend to make either the fancircles or the online gameplay aspect a complete joke >_>

Well, it is a little disheartening, but hopefully WOR, as well as the rest of GH pre-VV if the series does tank, will be vindicated by video game history as great games, despite what happened to it.

Not really a surprise, but still a bummer nonetheless.

But what matters is always having fun with the game, and if some asshole uses these numbers as excuse to put you down for playing WoR, he couldn't be more wrong. Mr. Green

I doubt we'll see another GH game after this, considering how much of a dick Bobby Kotick is and how quickly he is to drop the axe when sales aren't there. Hardcore businessman that could give two shits about gamers or the people who make the games.

I'm like Micheal Pachter up in this bitch with my game sales predictions. I told you all this was gonna be awesome, but get crap reviews and bomb, and some of you actually doubted me.

As for "Guitar Hero am doomed" you guys are ignoring the Activision flow chart.

New IP>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>switch devs>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>sequel>reboot attempt>reboot attempt>New IP

There will be another Guitar Hero, but they're probably gonna take it in a new direction. I have no idea where, but it'll probably be a Tony Hawk Ride deal where they doing something way different. Even Harmonix is taking drastic measures with a new instrument and all the pro modes.

And really it's like anything, there are diminishing returns.

You forgot Proving Ground. Which I still play from time to time. <_<

I wouldn't mind a new Tony Hawk lol.

To the people who say you don't care, that is kinda sad. If it sold well it would lead to more of this type of GH, even though I do think this one was handled poorly also.

The GH series was just handled terribly. Blame whoever you want, it's irrelevant now. Quest mode was fun for a bit, but they should not have centered most the game on it.

While this game may have had the best setlist this side of painsville, that's all it really should have been at this point. Nobody wants to spend $60 on another GH game when the market is saturated, a better decision would have been to scrap everything except quickplay and party play.

I and pretty much everybody I know does not want any progression, any story, any pointless bullshit in a music game. I want to rock to music. Should have been a setlist, character creator and that's it with a $30-40 price. Or go DLC, always a good option.

I really don't see GH going anywhere unless they do the above.

There is a big difference between not caring, and accepting that the genre is declining.

I don't get it. They sell under 100'000 copies in 3 days and people get worried? I'd wait for the numbers for October before I panic.

Also, it sucks that they'll probably mute the "FIST FUCK" part of Wish by Nine Inch Nails, the most iconic part of the song. :/

We didn't edit it out. In fact, not only did we boost the volume of that vocal phrase, but we replaced the vocals of every song in the game with the phrase "FIST FUCK" repeating over and over.

You can still...
FIST FUCK Ahh-merrr-I-Caaahh

Although it isn't surprising (GH isn't as popular as it used to be, that's undeniable), it still bums me out. But as long as the people who bought it enjoyed it, it's all good.
