I dont understand why they even bothered with a singleplayer... I mean, its not like they had any new compelling ideas they wanted to bring to the table that they thought was going to be worth putting all this time and effort in... Why didn't they just put all the time they spent on that and put it into the multiplayer?.. Thats all anyone cares about in socom anyways....

I don't want to call out anyone, but the "flopzzzzzzzzzzzzz" vs. the "it wasn't hyped up anyways" will be fun, especially from a few certain people. ;)

I honestly have no idea why they would give a great game like Socom 4 a 7, lol wow some people are just impossible to impress. Socom 4 is a great improvement over the previous Socoms, and confrontation of all games, was awful, yet i would give that a 7. Socom 4 should have got a 9 at least.
How did Halo reach or odst or whatever the new halo game score higher, thats much more terrible than socom, id say Halo is the worst shooter franchise ever made.

here's the Metacritic link, currently the worse review goes to Destructoid, which gave it a 3/10, Jostiq gave it a 2.5/5 stars, Eurogamer gave it a 6/10, the IGN rating would be the 4th worst rating so far

We need to prepare a flop name for when the GS review hits.

5.0 Presentation The story is unimpressive, and cliché. Five dudes vs. all of Southeast Asia.

7.0 Graphics The character models are amazing, but everything else varies from good to mediocre.

8.5 Sound Voice acting is well done, and the weapon sounds and explosions are awesome.

7.0 Gameplay The campaign is short, but fun squad-based gameplay. Too easy on anything but the harder difficulties.

7.5 Lasting Appeal Multiplayer is fun, even with the limited game modes. There are plenty of options to match your play style.

The last known hype(If you want to call it that) thread for the game I think. It's hype is at AE for now.

It'll flop if GS gives Socom 4 a 6.5 or less.

The game seem to be getting average scores. I hope it can please the fans of the series.

I personally thought it would have gotten better reviews than what it is getting. Regardless though I am still getting the game, beta was hella fun and the co-op looks amazing. The single player still looks really fun too.

I love the way a non-scientific poll (still open by the way) determines if this game is/was hyped. The fact this game is a big title for Playstation is apparently irrelevant (according to the Gamespot SW cartel, committee on hype & flop determination).

The highest I thought it would have scored here would have been a 7.5, just based on the previews. I'm sure it'll be fun if you like SOCOM, though. :D

I didn't even know this was coming out this year being that the Ps3 has so many exclusives for 2011. It's really hard to keep track of them all.

Well, according to Gamespot only one other games' site was frequented more yesterday. I'm not sure which SW committee defines 'hype' but I would say this counts.

Socom was a decent series last gen but for with the new higher standards of this gen its crap can't compete with the likes of call of duty black ops which is perhaps the greatest game ever made.

A bunch of people guessing the what a game is gonna score isn't considered hype. When people are praising a game and are uber excited for it and calling hell I could guess the score for infamous and it wouldn't be considered hype. Just my opinion on what it's gonna score.

The Hype/Flop game on System Wars is so simple to understand. Scientific methods need not apply for this.

I'm just going how it's usually determined. A person create a hype thread with a poll to determine the hype. (not every hype thread does this though) I'm not saying I agree with it. It just how it is. You can try to change it but such a feat is near impossible.

So an unscientific poll open to everyone, including people without PS3s, and remains open even after poor reviews arrive determines 'hype'.

Not sure what committee you're referring to. Since you know there isn't one.
