[QUOTE="organic_machine"]you take SW far too seriously. it is only an internet board. not a society on the break of collapse. :|organic_machine

It could affect game sales of otherwise good games. People are stupid and you attach the word flop to something it isn't very positive. I am sure the people who worked hard on games that were deemed "Flops" by some internet site with a large population might not think its so funny.

:| Are you actually saying that SW makes an impact on game sales?

The 200 Heavenly Sword posts in the last hour filled with people saying they aren't buying this game now suggest yes. This happens after every game "flops"

that may be true but that still doesn't stop the fact that cows were hyping lair and heavenly sword AAA back in spring. And yes they were I was here. Sorry for the reality check you needed it.youngtongue

You left out the final fantasy killer Blue Dragon and Metroid Prime 3.

I said that this effects everyone the same and it does. The only game in the hype thread archive that wasn't a flop that scored under 9 was warhawk. Great system there.

Take a look at the hype thread archives sticky. Every single one has a bunch of well known lemmings, cows and sheep voting AAA for games that are on systems that they do not support. Thus making most games flop unless they score a 9. Your stupid hype threads are useless across the board for all consoles involved.

Come up with something better or please stop. I have brought this up in the past but good old Casey Wagner stepped in and responded that nobody would hype a game because they would be OWNING themsevles for overhyping a game. This is not true at all. Nobody remembers who overhyped just that it was "officially" hyped.

Not to mention most hype comes from reading your previews that sugar coat every single game and hardly ever cast a negative light on anything. Read your Lair preview and then go play the game. Preview was so positive, Review was a slaughter and deserved to be.

Discuss before the lock.

I can complete Super Mario Bros in a couple of hours. Bad game confirmed.

They aren't going to score it AAA if it's only 7 hours long. esspecially for this gen. I agree with thier review. BTW have you even played it? Maybe it's not as good as SoTC and GOW.

That font looks craptastic.

Seriously - give me one good reason to buy Heavenly Sword if you can experience the breadth of it's content within a rental. Why would any PS3 user even bother buying the game when you can save 55$ and still have all the fun heavenly sword woulda bought you anyway?

I just don't see this game selling. We'll have to check blockbuster rental charts to even have an idea of how good it's doing, xD

I can beat just about any single player game out there in a weeks time. Bioshock could be completed in a rental. Should I ever buy a single player game again. Oh noes. What should I do?

[QUOTE="Koalakommander"]

very few PS3 games have "flopped", so that destroys your whole theory.

Mercenary343

Resistance Fall of Man

Motorstorm

Virtua Fighter 5

Calling All Cars

Lair

Stardust

F.E.A.R.

Call of Duty 3

When were half of those games hyped as AAA? Resistance/Motorstorm/Lair were well hyped. I don't recall anyone saying much about Stardust until after it came out. Big deal if it "flopped" here because everywhere else it got very good reviews. This community thinks too highly of itself. The reviews here are a joke. Using these reviews as proof of floppage is about the stupidest idea since greedo shooting first.

manningbowl135,All of the PS3's non ported titles are graphically superior to any console product that is available now.There is no difference in QUALITY of a Game port for reasons. A game is made to be ported over to systems. If you wanted your port of Madden 08 to be superior on the PS3, this would require a different engine as well as different player models and other effects. Why would EA make develop 1 unique game for the PC. 1 unique game for the 360, 1 for the wii. 1 for the PS3 etc. What does that say to Microsoftnintendosony? There are no financial reasons to do this outside of alienating one partner in the partnership. They are all sold to make sales equally.

Um...most of the multiplats that came out so far have a lower rating on the PS3 than the 360. I'm not talking about unique games. PS3 should have the higher rated version of a multiplat, not the 360. When you pay more for a product, you expect it to produce better than it's competitors. So far, in terms of gaming, PS3 isn't doing that. And yes, there is difference in quality, that's why most gaming sites (GS not often) review them seperately, b/c the quality is often different. Check out Madden360 on Gamerankings and MaddenPS3 on gamerankings. Which one is rated higher? 360. Not by alot obviously, but it's still ahead. The more expensive product should not have the inferior version of a game. Right now the PS3 does.

Go cry to cheap dev houses rather than sony. They make these games for the 360 FIRST and then port them to the PS3. The system architectures are vastly different. I can guarantee that Madden is not using the cells SPU's at all. The whole PS3 architecture is built to run everything through the cell and if a dev isn't doing that what do you expect to happen. Also why do you expect this to happen right away. It took crappy EA 2 iterations of Madden to get to 60 FPS on the mighty 360. Why would a PORT get there in 2. Wake up.
