It's the only game I have for the PS3 so far, and it's one of the reasons that I bought the system. I love it and I don't know what your basis for it "flopping" is, show me sales figures or shut your trap.

One site's review does not make a "flop"- look at the overall ratings. Out of 72 reviews given in magazines, web sites, etc. the overall average is 88%- hardly a "flop". The sales for the game was 75,000 in the first month of release- not as big as some titles did on the PS3 but from the articles I have read Sony was more than happy with it. The only flopping done here is by the OP.

.62 mil sold right now, and if thread is any indication, R&C's been sold pretty well with no sign of slowing down like this game.

Depends on how much you trust vgchartz, but R&C should have long legs from word of mouth and being probably the best kid-friendly game on PS3 right now.

cmon man, you know what im talking about. for example they are in a stack and i break the bottom layer only the top layer remains floating.

also when you kill some enemies they'll stick to the roof, or stay suspended in the air.

it didnt 'flop'.....you should be the judge of whether a game is good, not a reviewing site (who have proven to be bias in the past)...to me, R&C is a great game, and to me, thats all that matters, FULL STOP. What about you ps3wizard45, what do YOU think?

Nothing is wrong with it- it's just a habit of mine to bold it when posting.

I just finished the game last night. Other than a sudden increase in difficulty for the last few levels, it was an AMAZING game. I thought the story rocked (the voice acting was top-notch), the use of different weapons for different situations and the great graphics.

GS review was pathetic. Either way doesn't matter, it's a great title for the PS3 and I definitely enjoyed it. I did notice a few glitches, but nothing that ruined gameplay just a floating dead enemy from time to time and I'd get stuck on certain portions of the areas (mainly because I'd try going into areas that weren't meant to be in). Otherwise solid title and seems like people know it. If people are only relying on reviews to form their opinions of games thats pretty sad.

yes it did flop. at the time I thought Gamespot was crazy but that was before I played the game. To me, it's a solid 8.0. Maybe 8.5 at a stretch. So, when you think about, Gamespots review was a little harsh but not terrible.

I know you didn't post too much here, but already you've been on Gamespot too long if you didn't check every other review in every other site known to every single gamer.

Note: I have no intentions on buying the game or even renting it.

You got to love the fanboyism. The "other game" has sold 10 times as many copies, but has slowed down over all (what did you expect with those numbers). In number of units it is still selling way more.

Look I love the PS3, but you can't compare those two games....not when it comes to number of units sold

Again, people are calling each other "fanboys".:roll:

Just as annoying as fanboys I say. There's no foundation that could lead to "fanboyism" as you state.

Basically implying that R&C is doing better than Gears isn't being a fanboy?????

If we complain about the 360 people misrepresenting stuff maybe we should do a better job as ps3 owners...

Reviews, regardless of the amount, don't make anything a flop. Critics bash the top weekend movies all the time. Who cares what critics have to say about anything. Name an entertainment industry (music, movies or games) where reviews and success match up with any significance.

Reviews only matter to people who can't make up their own mind.

Racthet and clank future metascore: 88

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/ratchetandclankfuturetoolsofdestruction?q=ratchet%20and%20clank

I loved it btw. Just cuz that idiot Aaron Thomas said it had an "identity crisis" doesn't at all mean it flopped.
