That wouldn't make it a flop. Most sequels don't do the same numbers as their predecessor. It's why most things don't do them unless the ™ is too big to ditch.
It's very probable that even the first 3 day sales surprised them. They probably expected that to be end of year numbers, not end of the quarter numbers.
Holy cope. > it had a better launch than BTOW, it sold way more copy than BOTW, it is still selling like hot cakes, but but but it's a flop, it won't sell as much as BTOW in the long run, trust me
Turns out releasing a port for $70 turns a lot of parents off, even if their kids keep telling them the company that made it bought 18 million copies themselves
I never played Zelda, don't give a frick about Zelda either, but I know it sold like hotcakes and there was a commercial ad on main city streets all over the place.

I assume you mean flopped in more of a mindset kinda way? Like it sold a a frick load of copies so it didnt flop in that regard. I do agree with you that it flopped in more of a staying in the gaming history or whatever. It didnt make as much of an impact as games like botw and tp and ww and oot
Japan used to make some great games like persona 5,dark souls 3,FFXIV,FF7R,BoTW,Animals crossing,Sekiro,Nier Automata,Xenoblade 2,DE,Super smash bros ult, Lost judgement, Nioh 2,Like a dragon 7,MH world,RE 7, Judge eyes,Death stranding and DMC5,(according to metacritics)
from 2017 to early 2020, but how can they fall so soon and gets mogged by Hoyoverse and Neowiz so easily, for having no good game with metascore higher than genshin(81-84) since 2021?
Genshin,Starrail,Lies of P,Scarlet desert,Black Myth Wukong and Zenless zone Zero reduces DMC5,Dark souls 3,Sekiro, FFXIV,MHW,Elden ring,RE4,ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
No wonder why Japanese dev has inferiority complex on genshin so that they have manipulated metacritics like Xenoblade 3 and Elden ring by bribing critics.
At least we Westerners still make good games like Avowed, MS flying sim, D4 and OW2,Halo infinity, AoE4,Elder scrolls 6,STARFIELD,Modern warfare 2,BG3,MK1,Remnant 2.
BG3 and Starfield are genshin destroyers.
Most of them are tendies shitting on every single multiplat release like AC6, BG3, RE4, SF6, Lies of P, Dead Space even, because they're not on the switch.
Often using copy pasted /misc/ talking points like calling everything "pozzed".
I agree with what you're saying, but this is a stupid thread and you need to be raped. Or if you enjoy being raped I will not rape you. I will do whatever you do not want to happen.
Really fricking stupid thread, please delete it. Or else you will be raped. You will be raped whether you delete this thread or not.
TOTK being a lazy assetfip was the worst case scenario for a BOTW sequel, especially after 6 years when expectation were high.
Out of everything released this year like BG3, AC6, RE4, Starfield, even fricking Dead Space and Hogwarts were more impressive.
It's so sad that this game took the spot of a big 3D Zelda game and now we're stuck waiting another 6 years for the next game.
Nintendo doesn't take into account the expectations of players, it's not like "oh well better 2 good games released than 1" because people are expending Zelda games to ALWAYS be in development (that's what they fricking said).
>6 years since the last Zelda >fricking 7 years since the last Final Fantasy >both are extremely disappointing
You know, at the very least SE has been doing the FF7R series, while Nintendo only gave us a cheap remaster of a 2D game, they should really allocate more resources into this shit.
DMC2 also sold a bunch based on consumer good will with the first game.
In fact it outsold both DMC1 and DMC3.
Or more specifically, DMC3 had a huge slump because of how badly DMC2 dissapointed.
It didn't flop, however i still couldn't finish the game, as i realized i had open world fatigue. thank god i play the emulated version. the only way i found the building mechanic fun was installing the mod that removes the time limit for the glue.
>MS and Sony try to pander to LGBT and get the dudebro crowd >Nintendo try to pander to younger audiences and get autistic manchild troons instead
How does this happen?
Not really a surprise. They've been doing it since nearly day one of the NES while Nintendo is still so popular there are still people calling all game systems Nintendos despite the fact that Nintendo got so mad at that, they took out an ad telling you not to aspirin them, lol.
Some people just do not comprehend that power and flash doesn't make for a good game. The last nearly 30 years in particular has proven that real hard.
Because the the ubisoft nuZelda games have awful combat that amounts to stunlocking HP spone enemies and pausing the game to chug 20 meals every time you get hit.

there are a lot of discord trannies seething about japanese games from Zelda, AC6, Elden ring etc i don't know where are from, maybe europoors or third world subhumans?
Lately i saw a lot of morons shiting on DD2
Baldur's Gate 3 came out and you have to like it, praise it as GOTY or GOTG (game of the generation) or else you're a shill homosexual with shitty taste in video games. Doesn't matter what else came out or if they are also good (arguably better, more fun) games, it's BG3 or you're not a true gamer.
Most of them are tendies shitting on every single multiplat release like AC6, BG3, RE4, SF6, Lies of P, Dead Space even, because they're not on the switch.

Has this strategy of claiming the shitposters were tendies ever worked?
Maybe because Nintendo fans actually have taste and can criticize Nintendo games?
If you didn't know this happened you're just ignorant. The ones who are fanboys and keep saying their company's games are perfect are others.

Why is this so hard to get actual proof of zelda combat?

Every time.
1) Horroblins are always in packs
2) Horroblins are ceiling dwellers. The trick is shoot them down where they become vulnerable and useless. You can't convince me this isn't fun and engaging combat.
3) we can quite clearly see the red "X" on your map at this exact spot where you obviously died fighting these things, so they were clearly a challenge to you.
You're so desperate to try and make the game look bad and you only humilate yourself. Aren't you embarrassed by now?
It was hilarious watching this board shitpost every day for years and then get BTFO when the game was declared a masterpiece and sold 10 million in its first 3 days.
>Nintendo have just raised the bar too damn high and now I can't enjoy anything else. Does anyone else know this feel?
Honestly this is true. I was playing Jedi Survivor recently and I kept catching myself trying to Ascend through ceilings. Every game is just shit now after TotK. Everything is so restrictive and simplistic by comparison.
Some games are just impossible to discuss on Ganker. Like Starfield. Doesn't mean I didn't like them, I just hide all the threads related to them here.
TOTK had tons of gameplay discissions when it launched, but once people saw it was the same game just with remixed content and Gmod shit, interest faded away in 2 months. Really grim.
>18.5 million sales
It’s crazy how badly the sales of this is compared to BOTW’s in the same amount of time. Did the $70 dlc meme actually hold some weight?
what are you talking about?
Switch was in its infancy and BotW sold no more than 5 million at the same time
TotK is still the fastest selling Zelda game so far, but it's hard to believe it will reach the colossal sales of BotW in its lifetime.
That wouldn't make it a flop. Most sequels don't do the same numbers as their predecessor. It's why most things don't do them unless the ™ is too big to ditch.
It's very probable that even the first 3 day sales surprised them. They probably expected that to be end of year numbers, not end of the quarter numbers.
It's already on a steady track to outpace BotW. 18.5 million in like barely 2 months when it took years for BotW to reach that.
Holy cope.

it didn't

dont worry, OoT HD remake has to come eventually
There has been up to 2 Zelda games releasing every year.
Probably the most dissapointing sequel since Bioshock Infinite.
It's one of the best games I ever played, so no.
It's because I stole all the hours of playtime
BotW

God there's nothing better than watching Nintendo rape the troons this board endlessly.
projecting this hard
I hate that trannies like video games at all.
Nintendo has blood on their hands.
How do they not realize they're uglier now?
Community of morons telling them they're gorgeous because they might kill themselves otherwise.
I like Nintendo you moron. I just only like the N64 Zelda games. I only want more Zelda games like them. I hate botw and totk.

There are more of everything on the Switch than on any other device.
130 million sales.
There's also probably more people with green eyes.

It's just the same shit?
>probably
It's sicentifically proven.
>100% of LGB are T
No wonder you can't spell with that brain damage. If anything you're proving the opposite since gays hate troons and vice versa.
It was pretty good for a free DLC, I don't get the hate.
With the gained knowledge that it didn't flop, how do you explain it?
I pray some of you discordtrannies don't kys when the game wins goty.
>MS and Sony try to pander to LGBT and get the dudebro crowd

How does this happen?
manchildren and actual pedos
Zelda just sold 18.51 million in one and a half month and there are still people trying to doompost Nintendo, fricking unreal
Not really a surprise. They've been doing it since nearly day one of the NES while Nintendo is still so popular there are still people calling all game systems Nintendos despite the fact that Nintendo got so mad at that, they took out an ad telling you not to aspirin them, lol.

TotK has the unfortunate effect of ruining all other video games.
I find myself wanting to explore open worlds but being hit with invisible walls, linearity and gated progression.
I find myself wandering off the beaten path and finding nothing there to discover.
I find myself peering into bottomless chasms feeling disappointed that I can't dive down there and explore.
I find dealing with baby tier combat set ups and wondering why I can't use all my inventory to create new scenario-specific items and weapons.
I find myself wishing I could create my own solutions to puzzles and challenges using my own wits and resources.
I find myself limited by the sheer inactive sterilisation of the world around me.
Nintendo have just raised the bar too damn high and now I can't enjoy anything else. Does anyone else know this feel?

Honestly this is true. I was playing Jedi Survivor recently and I kept catching myself trying to Ascend through ceilings. Every game is just shit now after TotK. Everything is so restrictive and simplistic by comparison.
The way you unlock great fairies in totk is so dumb, having to do the quest in the exact order or no great fairies for you
But enough about troonystation 5
Haven't seen a legit TOTK thread that wasn't just trolling or a porndump in 2 months.
Gatcha games have more gameplay discussion threads.
Erictroony, stop trying.
Maybe it's because you're not worth arguing with.
We have threads everyday dumb frogposter. And you will continue to seethe for years.
Wrong.
There is almost zero shitposting because haters can't think up a single convincing criticism of the game.
They just spam gore instead.
