    Will 2k Survive This Game?

    I'm just wondering...with so many of us returning and canceling pre-orders of this game is 2k going to be around? They probably will, but no doubt that sales from this game are going to be extremely crappy for them. Just look at these forums...holy $hit...everyone is now back after playing the game and posting what a crapfest it was.

    Word of mouth has got to be hurting them! What do you guys think?

    Sales for this game will be very good because of the hype. They now just have a crapload of angry customers and could care less because they have our money now.

    I doubt sales will be very good for their next Mafia game though. Lots of rentals instead.

    I actually hope they continue with the Mafia franchise. I just hope they learn from their "mistakes".

    Well, Actually, Sales of the Game were pretty much going to be high since rental places buy the game from 2K to place In stores, and those who got the game for 24th August.

    well concidering the only people that make money from returns is the actually distribution company, i wouldn't think this hurts them that much. if anything, their reputation would be damaged from word of mouth and the amount of returns after release.

    A good indication to see how popular a game is to the general populace is to see how many copies there are in the Preowned section of a store. Only then can we start guessing how well their doing.

    What a big F#&*ing let down this game has been man. Speaking from my heart, really, what a let down. I was really looking forward to this game. It just baffles my mind as to why the hell they went with some of the worst development decisions in the history of game development. Oh well, back to Red Dead I guess...now thats a tittle worth every penny of the 60 dollars I paid for it.

    I think that the forums might be a bit of a skew right now - we want feedback and bugs to be reported here, and this is, after all, the best place to be heard if you are unhappy!

    The devs are looking in to your feedback, and I know there are quite a lot of happy folks out there, so we're going to be okay. I just hope we can help address some of your issues and make you one of them!

    In the mean time, since we have a lot of opinion threads already, let's keep the chat there.
