GameGodOfAll 04/29/20 1:21:52 AM #1:	Trying to think of standalone video games that weren't turned into a series. Not because they couldn't warrant one, but because they had a beginning, middle and end and that was all. List I can think of off the top of my head is absurdly small. Bully LA Noire (may have under performed given the development expenses, but still sold well) Starting thinking about this after beating Death Stranding. Pleasantly surprised there was no sequel teaser. --- My Words Were True And Sheamus Made You Believe! https://imgur.com/Fc39f <cite>GameGodOfAll posted [p:938284848] in Games that...

pfh1001 04/29/20 5:09:08 AM #23:	I'm going to mention Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It supposedly sold over a million copies & got an 81 metascore but the development of it was a huge mess, so the company went belly up. However, it's a really fun action RPG with a big world to explore. I'd recommend it if you like that sort of game. ChuckSDeuces posted... Did LA Noire sell well? I always heard LA Noire didnt sell well and the T2 shareholders being unhappy was the driving force behind GTA V being announced so early It supposedly sold over 5 million copies, but it also apparently was expensive as hell to make. GameGodOfAll posted... Worst of the bunch for sure. I disliked it a lot, but it still sold 2 mill and has a metascore of 72 which is good. A 72 metascore isn't that good & it got some really bad reviews-- it's reception is referred to as polarized or mixed on Wikipedia for example. Honestly, anything less than a 90 or 9/10 is often thought of as disappointing, in large part because of how review scores have been inflated for so long. <cite>pfh1001 posted [p:938291036] in Games that...

Investments are meant to make money, not lose, or break even. So if it didnt sell enough to turn a profit it didnt sell well, end of story.
