Still no Gamespot review, so we can't really say it met the hype or flopped.

How can you call it a flop without a GS review? When it has so many good reviews?

The smartest amongst you should answer me this.

Well it's hyped as AAA. So right now it's only AA. But at GS it has a chance at AAA...they seam to always go a bit to the opposite (one way or the other).

Bioshock and MP3 they went low. They are due to go to the high-side soon. But that may be Halo3 they go high with.

Because this is System Wars, a forum of GAMESPOT. Gamespot users base hype off of what a game will get on GAMESPOT.

AAA but how is it still a flop if GS has not reviewd it?

gameranking says it's under 90 right? then it's stil TECHNICALLY a flop. you're right that until GS reviews it's not a flop but Gamerankings is kinda like the substitute until GS. again their are still more reviews to come so it is possible that HS could still be AAA

it might actually be a good game but gamespot will no doubt destory it. It's like they always have to rate lower than IGN (for the most part) and everyone else to prove something.

But here's the real question: Is everybody that votes a PS3 owner?? Or an owner of a system thats actually getting the game?

Seriously, this hype thing is waaaaay off. Don't you think people that hate the game because they hate the console its on won't try to over hype it? I mean why wouldn't they. If they hype it high, and they're right, no big deal. But if they hype it big, and it fails, they get to claim "teh pwnage." What a joke.

If this isn't the case, how did you guys prevent it from happening?

Unfortunately I don't trust reviews anymore because they are simply biased. biased to popularity, a game like GTA vice city in my opinion should have scored a 7 or maybe just a 7.5 because it had bad graphics, bad gameplay, outdated aiming system, bad dialogue, monotynous missions and so forth but because the reviewers know it will be popular they give it incredibly high ratings. Same with pretty much every nintendo franchise etc. Heavenly sword is only 7 hours long, 7 hours!!! I cannot trust the game to get a 10 rating with 7 hours of gameplay and I've heard some very fair criticism e.g. the final battle being a mess because the hundreds of enemy surrounding you are amost impossible to counter and fight effectively etc. The game is just a graphical showcase and may be fun but reviews being good aren't to be trusted. I wouldn't trust reviews for any major title.

that's why the hype is not anonymous.

Are you seriously serious???? Who's gonna go paging through a HUGE thread to find that one guy to see how he voted? NOBODY!! There's no accountability here. And don't act like there is. There are so many holes in this hype thread plan, its not even funny.

Sorry, meant to put +1 for bretheman, 20+ hours beats 7 by a long shot.
