well you obviously haven't played it if you think it "completely sucked".
...and what stops KZ3 from "completely sucking"?
That may be so but Alan Wake did not suck at all.
All in all they both have the same score so theyre in the same boat.
Dont start.
Not to mention Conviction, Fable III, Crackdown all flopping last year. 360 owners have been neglected for years.BigBoss255Neglected ? how is that fair because video games flopping? Lets not bring up lair now

Well, we know you didn't play the game. Not surprising, TC.
And no, it did not flop harder than KZ3. If you want to see the hardest flop this gen, look at GT5.

Killzone 3 had a lot of hype actually.
Mostly graphical hype. As I remember, Alan Wake was claimed by lemmings as the first AAAAE exclusive with best graphics on consoles.
They both got like .5 less than the hyped score, I don't find any of them to be a hard flop. Alan Wake did have a bigger reaction though.
Funny, I actually remember it for it's sick multiplayer.Yet Killzone will always be remembered for being hyped the "halo-killer" before it scored a sub 7 score here on GS.

Neglected ? how is that fair because video games flopping? Lets not bring up lair now Because of a lak of exclusives and a genuine lack of budget, games like Fable III and Crackdown 2 were obviously not funded properly.[QUOTE="BigBoss255"]Not to mention Conviction, Fable III, Crackdown all flopping last year. 360 owners have been neglected for years.OmegaPillow
It was actually pretty good. And Killzone 3 completely sucks. So there.All the hype for alan wake, a 5 year wait, and it turned out to completely suck

Killzone 3 had a lot of hype considering most people were sure it would score higher/equal Killzone 2. Alan Wake was a new IP. Yeah, KZ3 flopped a lot harder.All the hype for alan wake, a 5 year wait, and it turned out to completely suck

Ugh, aside from bots, the multiplayer was so boring. :P KZ2's multi made it its female dog.
The new gunplay is inferior, and that's a shame, I get why they did it but still. I want to play the retail before I judge though, according to reviewers the new maps are sick.well you obviously haven't played it if you think it "completely sucked".

i played it, and hated it, was expecting a nice scare, but it was an emotional garbage ride. with crappy gameplay
The only non-flops for the 360 last year were Halo Reach and ME2 (which is on PS3 now anyway). SC Conviction, Crackdown 2, Fable III, and Alan Wake all flopped, and in 2011, 360 owners don't even HAVE a game to flop, so they have absolutely no place to call flop on anything. It's like a bratty kid who can't even dribble a basketball sitting in the bleachers and screaming "your jumpshot sucks!" to the NBA players.MrmccormoIs that because Gears 3 and Forza 4 simply cannot flop? ;) But seriously, way too much emphasis on exclusives - 360 still has a ridiculous amount of exciting games coming out for it.

Yes I honestly believe Fable III and Crackdown 2 suffered from a lack of budget. I own Fable III and its tech is just not up to scratch, the graphics and animations are seriously underwhelming. Crackdown 2 used the same city and has the same graphics as the first, a game which didn't look all that great in 07. Either these games were underfunded or they were seriously rushed. They put all the money from Live in their pocket, it certainly doesn't go to exclusives.[QUOTE="BigBoss255"][QUOTE="OmegaPillow"]Neglected ? how is that fair because video games flopping?

GT5 flopped harder than Alan Wake. Now stop making these topics.... Alan Wake was a great game. flop=/= bad.lbjkurono23
100% This.
SW gets crazy when games don't score 9 or above. Alan Wake was a great game and from what I've read (KZ3 not released in UK yet) Killzone 3 is a great game.Stop whining and enjoy your games.
Or even better, buy both systems and play both games. :o

Proof that the TC did not play the game.

I honestly doubt Forza and Gears won't be AAAE but then again I would have said the same for K3. How can you not place emphasis on exclusives?, all those "exciting" games are also on PS3, the only thing seperating the consoles are exclusives and it's not like PS3 only has 1 or 2 more, we're talking about 8 AAE+ games this year.
alan wake flopping was more suprising and shocking than gt5 and kz3 combined.
therefore making it a more dense flop, a supernova flop.

you played the full campaign? you either illegally downloaded it, work for a reviewing company, or are from the future. game comes out next tuesday.alan wake flopping was more suprising and shocking than gt5 and kz3 combined.

GT5 flopped more than any Microsoft title in the history of video games, so quit trolling.
Only Lair and the original Killzone can actually rival the massive flopping of GT5.
Alan Wake was a great game. You clearly didn't play it. Besides, they got the same score.All the hype for alan wake, a 5 year wait, and it turned out to completely suck

Well, there's nothing wrong with exclusives, but even so, what games (exclusive or not) has the 360 gotten so far this year? Dead Space 2? It scored better on PS3, and in the meanwhile, PS3 has been getting DC Online, KZ3, LBP2, Trinity Zill Whatever, and those other two JRPGs coming out in a bit...I mean, it's not even an issue of "focusing too much on exclusives". Where are the games?

Wrong GT5 nobody took that 360 fanatic who reviewed gt5 very seriously. alan wake was the biggest flop this gen.Please Log In to post.
