"Largest selling DLC to date"
Somehow, I'm reminded of DA2 where everything was going so well right up until the last second
What do you mean?
Before the DA2 team admitted that the DLC sales for DA2 were abyssmal they continued to state how well everything was going, how much MORE was coming and how excited people were for new content.
Then two DLC's in, one cancelation and a Videogame pannel later we find out that DLC sales were damn near 1/5th or so of DA:O sales if I recall correctly And DA2's reception was warm and fuzzy by comparison
So when Chris says, despite absolutely everything pointing to the oposite, "biggest selling DLC to date" I'm more than a little skeptical.
A company, for any number of reasons won't come out and just flat out state "Yeah. Our **** isn't moving"
Weekes got his coat pulled for even SUGESTING they might sell poorly before Leviathan released. "Future content depends on the success of leviathan"
Then barely two days later a day or so before or after Levi released (don't recall) "Oh you don't have to worry about more content. We have lots planned and are working on it! Slip of the tongue:lol:." (Paraphrasing)
So yeah. I'm skeptical on the statement.
Also, though its nitpicking (I tend to do that) "Biggest Selling" could actually be Chris using word play. Which he's known to do in the past Biggest selling does not equal best. Could mean "BIGGEST" as in filesize.
I haven't downloaded Levi so I have no idea how big it is or how it compares to LotSB in size. But that could be a meaning *shrug* A nit pick as I said, but as I also said he's known to do it every now and again. (Usually did it to prank us rather than reassure people of the success of his company though)
You might just be over-analyzing this though.
Pre-release polls for Leviathan showed quite a bit of people who voted that they were planning to buy it.
I never even heard about an official poll for Levi, and if your mentioning the one or two that were seen here made by normal forum users I didn't even bother voting. I can't speak for EVERYONE of course but by that point I didn't really care for a poll that Bioware may or may not read.
Despite what a lot of Pro-enders seem to think people don't like repeating themselves over and over again. I didn't see a point in voting on a poll for a DLC that was already planned in which I already commented that I had no interest in buying. Many people here expressed no interest in buying. Why vote on a poll that was just a rehash of what we'd seen/said repeatedly leading up to the release date?
And if it was somewhere outside the BSN, like facebook or something, you have to remember that the people STILL discontent have also moved on/sold the game back. Why in the world would they get on facebook for a poll that doesn't affect them for a game they no longer own/care about?
A lot of things affect the natures of polls.
Not EVERY poll is invalid of course. Mikec9 and the EC poll I believe was VERY well done and very much valid because it was announced through several mediums, including Facebook, BSN, Gamefaqs, Gameinformer, Games Archive, Games Blender, HTL and IGN.
So yeah, with that one even if people who had sold their copies back may have gotten wind of it and voted along with people who are happy and don't join these forums/polls in general.
So I say that one since it was announced everywhere and got a sizable chunk of people, 12,000 or so, I can buy. But a rag tag poll here on the BSN after a massive portion of the unsatisfied have washed their hands of it? No.
Retour en haut
