Soul Calibur V Sales Discussion

REPROBEAN_CHILD you are trying to have an argument with someone that his tag is: SophitiaForEver??? dont waste ur time

^THIS!

And we can't really criticize the "older" women rule when you have characters like Rock, Hwang (still), and Li Long (still) also cut, because a majority of gamers felt they were boring (Rock, Li Long), or underdeveloped (Hwang). They are 59, 49, and 48, respectively. Even the first Yoshimitsu was replaced.

Give it time. I bet you once Mitsurugi turns 50+, he's going to get cut too. Possibly being replaced by "Brosurugi", but this is only an assumption.

Same with Seigfried as he has gotten so...irrelevant lately, but what keeps him in are for many reasons.

Voldo's days are running up too, but seeing his figure, I wouldn't be surprised if he reached 100+

Which is exactly why the original cast either vie for a reboot or find the fountain of youth. Either one would work itself out somehow. And besides, the reason why they wanted younger characters was to appeal to a younger audience if you know what I mean. I would've been hunky-dory with almost the entire cast in their 30s and 40s and still don't give a damn. It's Namco's idea of the 17 year skip that still wrecks my nerves to the core.

I doubt it.

I'll repeat what I said before about it.

Like I said before, the 17 year shift was fine. It's how this was executed.

I bet if it was during the past era, the story still would have been out of place like SCIV's. Algol and his backstory popping out of nowhere was proof enough that they ran out of ideas for the past era, and probably would have ran out of ideas if "almost all of the characters appeared in their 30s and 40s". The new characters are kind of like a blank canvas.

Talim is the shit, there are four other styles almost completely missing, the timing of the mimics was shitty as fuck, the timing of release was shitty as fuck.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. The story is SOOOOO much better than SCIV's or SC2's, never really played 3 too much. The online is fucking sexy. Natsu> Taki. It's a beautiful looking and sounding game, the new mechanics feel as though they belong.

The good out weighs the bad in this scenario, I feel like all of the pissers and moaners will try this game eventually, fall in love, and sales will rise.

ScV>scIV even without my main since 2. with her this game would make me burst with awesome happiness sunshine rainbows.

when i say i didnt bought the game ?
i have the game since day 1(and i have bought all the dlc,because i really hope for some characters dlc ...)
look page 7 and i rated it too
and did give her more than one chance
i finished legendary mode with OP
earned all the titles in the quick match mode with Op and Pyrrha
done all the arcade mode with Op and Pyrrha
i think is enough no?but i still dont like her personnality ><
i was defending the fact that they cant force people to like the new charcters/replacement instead of the old one and 17 years time skip will certainly affect the sales

i have read alot about japanese culture,gaming instutry etc on some french forum
so yeah i know how it work

i prefer this 100 x than 17 years time skip

Ugh! I know my grammar isn't perfect, but oh my goodness. I am so confused.

Can we just declare the "mourning" period over on this game already and start nuking these threads, execution style?

It's getting a little old that in every post, people make themselves sound like they are some kind of marketing genius that knows exactly how to fix every problem. Even *I* am not that arrogant- I knew better due to insider info and industry experience, as in, real world experience.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- the wants and needs of your average casual player are a moving target, and the "outrage" is blown out of proportion because this is the internet. Some people still are crying about GUARD IMPACT mechanics....

I beg of you, please stop. Please?

So how well is SCV selling again?

Because last I knew, it wasn't good. I know why I didn't buy the game for a while, and I know why many of my friends and casual fans didn't buy the game. And it's because of all the aforementioned complaints. Better luck next time, Namco.

i agee 100%.

is reaching 600k the week#4 had a major boost in sales, don't know why :)

People are done with their playthrough of FFXIII-2, mark my words.

Could be, but it also could be related that in week 4, BB, Amazon and other website dropped the price $20 :)

Nobody actually has the sales data, so this thread is just an excuse to speculate and air out the same old shit over and over and over.

No one does, but vg chartz always has accurate data most of the time.

I strongly disagree with this, given their track record we'd be better off assuming they numbers are anything BUT accurate.

Allrite! but as I was saying...SCV had a major boost in sales in week 4 and that's good for the community

its obvious scV isn t selling as good as scIV despite the boost because they cut dodos from scIV.....
its the main reason for sure.....

well soul calibur was sold out at Ebgames today ;P
