Ugh, aside from bots, the multiplayer was so boring. :P KZ2's multi made it its female dog.

tagyhag

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.

I agree with what you said, but I was originally talking about the PS2 Killzone. :lol:

Oh, lol

[QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"][QUOTE="kyacat"][QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"]

alan wake flopping was more suprising and shocking than gt5 and kz3 combined.

therefore making it a more dense flop, a supernova flop.

Wrong GT5

nobody took that 360 fanatic who reviewed gt5 very seriously. alan wake was the biggest flop this gen.

What? After all the hype GT5 got around here? After all the Cows saying it was going to destroy Forza 3? After all of the delays you seriously believe Alan Wake was the bigger flop? :lol:

A game that has not been released yet cant be considered a flop.

Mmmm..... Your damage control is so delicious, especially for a game that came out last year. More please. :lol:

first of all, i hate sims, never played them and never will. i was looking forward to to play Alan Wake over my friends house, and it was a big dissapointment. dont forget, Alan Wake was a new IP and it failed hard, on the other hand GT series got AAA scores before so i can care less for that, suprised? you should be.

So an 8.5 = "totally suck" now?

:roll:

i guess so. to keep up with the times, maybe we should only count AAAA and AAA games on the spreadsheets and leave the A AND AA games out? (sarcasm if you couldn't tell)

5 hours ago, nobody played Flops. Now this thread is created, and Flops are good.

I love, love, LOVE System Wars. :lol:

I believe Conviction was hyped AA. Closer and closer to release, Crackdown went from AA to A hype. The only one that flopped was Fable 3.

We're talking about individual games, and GT5 was a massive flop. I agree with the GS review.

Totally man. Any game that scores under a 9.0 from *Insert gaming site here* is obviously a pile of trash that no one in their right mind should waste their time playing.

(Oh I could definitely tell, I had my sarcasm detector on today :P)

These two hype threads have Crackdown at AA hype, that was a flop. Conviction was a flop too, a heavily contested one but in the end it had more AAA hype than AA. But I won't have those links until I get home.

well you obviously haven't played it if you think it "completely sucked".

...and what stops KZ3 from "completely sucking"?

antifanboyftw

i played it, and hated it, was expecting a nice scare, but it was an emotional garbage ride. with crappy gameplay

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.

what? i was talking about alan wake

Interesting approach to damage control... Too bad Alan Wake is a better game than KillZone 3 could ever be, so the point's moot about which flopped harder. KillZone 3 is a nice thrill ride though, I'm sure.

killzone 3 had very little hype, only graphical, which it surpassed and became the console graphics king

Both = 8.5 therefore KZ3 has flopped jsut as bad seeing as score is ALL that matters on this website. Yep .Killzone 3 has flopped just as badly as Alan Wake... oh and both are great games... go figure.

Bro, Killzone 3 was hyped to be the best graphics on a console, the best FPS on console, the Halo Killer, AAA (hyped AAAAE at one point but I won't mention that :P ) and it was supposed to be the thing that killed the 360 :lol:

killzone 3 had very little hype ?? you are nothing but a blind fanboy.

compared to kz2, i think the hype for kz3 was very little too.

so you think that makes more sense to compare with Alan Wake which has no hype at all? this thread is a joke.

It is shipped, so stop trolling. :) Shipped means nothing. The game has to sell-through those copies, something it failed to do in America.

It did not do particularly impressive in the UK, either.

Wait what? Please tell me how do you collect sell through data at 100% accuracy at anywhere around the world, I'm sure big corportations would love to know how you do it!:)

Sold like hotcakes =/= sold 5.5 mln in 12 days. Far from it. Thanks for trying, though. :)

don't mistaken Alan Wake's lack of sales for lack of quality, I thought it was a great game
