I'm hoping at least 8.0 for the score.

It seems like a great game, but, its just an advancement on a sims game it seems.

Thats why I'm not too excited, its just another game I'll get in the future. =)

It'll score much higher than that for sure.

To be honest I'm not that excited myself. It's the kind of game I don't care about until the day it actually comes out. Then I play it and love it. (the sims)

I don't see why it shouldn't get a 10, but this is GameSpot reviewing a PC game, so who knows? They seems to knock scores down on PC for no good reason.

I mean, look at the WiC review: Nothing bad AT ALL to say and still docked .5 points.

I mean, both consoles 10's had comments in the bad section and still got 10's, yet WiC has nothing bad in the Bad section and gets a 9.5, so who the hell knows?

I don't know why I can't get excited about this game, probably because it's one of those you actually have to play to appreciate.

I didn't know 2 was a lot.

Edit: I'm not saying it will be a bad game, it just looks as if it will be familiar. I'm not entitled to my opinion?

To get a 10 the game must have a large casual appeal as well.

I'm still stumped about MGS4 though.

Post your score predictions here if you like.

stepat201

It feels like the hype has died down since last year, but I'm sure the game will be amazing. On other note....

Can you see?  The sun is shining on me.
It makes me feel so free. So alive. It makes me want to survive.
And the sky. It makes me feel so high.
The bad times pass me by. 'Cause today is gonna be a brighter day!

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again.

( ..feel the sunshine.. )

Without you.
There's nothing for me to do.
Can you feel the sunshine too? It's gonna proove.
It makes me feel brand new.
When you're here,
I wish you were always near.
'Cause everything's so clear.
And today is gonna be a brighter day!

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
( ..brighten up your day.. )
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again.


When the sun goes down, I feel like I am waiting
For another day, when the clouds go away.

( Can you feel it? Ooohoo. Can you feel it? Ohoh! Can you feel it? Ohohoh! )

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
( ..brighten up your day.. )
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again.

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
( ..brighten up your day.. )
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
( ..need to run away.. )
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again.

Reach out! You gotta reach out!
Come back again!
You gotta reach out!

spore doesn't need hype.

If you don't know what spore is you deserve to be shot as a gamer.

the spore creature editor alone sold 2.5 million....if a paid demo can sell that much, its pretty obvious the full game has a lot of hype...especially given that Will Wrights monthly estimates were blown away in only a matter of hours.

Haven't read much about the game, but it looks like it will sell very well.

My bet is no less than a score of 8.8 !

I think the hype has died down due to the delays. In terms of system wars posting, I'm sure everyone is still looking forwards to it.

MGS4's first thing in the bad section was truly horrible and experience wrecking. ( The single player campaign ends )

The hype has died down after all the delays.

Is the Wii version going to be anything like the PC version? Or is it gonna be a completely different game like the DS version.

well, we hype them, but we keep the showing of hype to a minimum, unlike the console fanboys, it keeps the 'pc sux' stuff to a minimum and we can say 'oh snap look at this huge game we didnt even hype'

the 'demo' is just the creature creator from the game so people can make creatures to populate the game when it is released, there isnt any 'gameplay' aside from the testrun area, the rest is just building creatures....

but to answer your questin: yes, yes it is that good

Its been hyped for such a long time there nothing left to say until we get it. I want it real bad but its already installed in my system that im going to get it no matter what so I don't even need to hype it. Its kind of like whats the point really when you know your gonna get this no matter what. I expect more hype when the review comes out and people either call it a flop even if it gets a good score or overrated if it gets a really good score.

Cant wait for it, id love too see it get a 10/10 - a truly innovative game, next to two other games that wernt very innovative at all.

Still the whole standards thing will kick in, and im sure some flaws will be found without the massive hype train to overshadow issues, that the other two 10 scoring games got.

So ultimatley i think it'll get a 9.0 or 9.5

Hermits rarely have to hype a title is why. There are just so many quality PC exclusives that another one arriving is just expected rather than anticipated.

I personally think the lack of hype is a good thing, it makes to hermits seems even more sage like in their power. the reason there aint many hermits here is that they are too busy on their gaming rigs to care about us mere mortals. i tend to lean towards the PC but i wouldn't consider myself a hermit because i own a ps2 and 360.

I hope that the game do good since it sounds awesome, but i believe that the game have to high of a concept to be implemented flawlessly with today's technology that's of course that's just my opinion but to be honest the last time i have read a preview was in quite a while.
