[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="spookykid143"]That game doesn't exist in my mind.

lundy86_4

Wow, I agree.

It exists in mine. I own the CE :cry:

I hope to God they make that game playable with the new team. I wouldn't mind going back and trying it out.

What ever happened to the PS3 version?

Squeenix probably decided to cut their losses :P

I actually dunno if it was delayed or just outright canned. I think all hopes of getting the MMO off it's face have kinda fallen by the way-side.

I am starting to think all these "cows" making these types of threads are fakeboys. There have been way to many damage control threads this week.

johny300

I believe that also they're fakeboys.

No not really cows are really that lame.

It was ok, noting impressive. Story felt like it became a mess later on and tried to extend the game for more gameplay. It was linear as hell as opposed to what the original game should have been when it was on the pc and the combat was simplistic and lame. A meh game.

I'm surprised it was so bad since XI was pretty good.

I loved XI, hence why I bought the CE of XIV. It was fun, but it just failed pretty hard at even the slightest things. Personally, the most annoying was the ridiculous amount of time it took NPC's to load :P Though this was fixed in a patch IIRC.

It was far from being a meh game. As for it being linear, I'm glad it was open world as first suggested. Remedy is the last dev I want to work on a open world title.

Same here, I was expecting it to surpass FFXi after reading some previews. Boy was I wrong lol.

Yet Killzone will always be remembered for being hyped the "halo-killer" before it scored a sub 7 score here on GS.

to be fair Sony hyped it before Guerrila could say anything.

All the hype for alan wake, a 5 year wait, and it turned out to completely suck

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

I wouldn't consider Conviction a flop. Sales wise, it did pretty well for itself. As for the game itself not meeting Splinter Cell fan's expectations is a whole 'nother story.

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

lazerface216

Exactly what I was going to say, AW is a great game.

Only the people who didn't play the game can think it "completely sucks".

Alan wake is a unique case

MS ruined it by forcing Remedy to make it for Xbox 360, that means all of the things Remedy wanted to do with Alan Wake.. well they couldnt do it with the 360's hardware

LucidJubilation

yea...Alan Wake flopped 10 times harder than Killzone 3...it just didn't flop as hard as GT :( there are just so many big ps3 flops, it makes it so hard to escape "teh ownagez".

But it did not flop harder than KZ3. It was a new IP, not a hotly anticipated sequel in an AAA franchise. AW could have been more hyped, that is for sure.

I remember that back in the day, Xbots wouldn't shut up about Alan Wake, and I could never figure out why they were so hyped for it. Yeah, it wasn't as bad as Too Human, but now look at it...

Nor as bad as KZ3, or KZ1... or Lair. Or GT5...

Seriously, nothing is able to rival GT5.

6 years of development, all the $$$ poured into the development, "the return of the real driving simulator", how it would outscore and kill Forza, all the thousands of cars, the tracks, graphics, the completeness etc. I mean, it could not go wrong after 6 years, no?

I would even say it is above KZ1 and KZ3 combined in flopping badly.

There is no way escaping the depth of that floppage.

The reason for the hype was who it was being developed by - Remedy. They had two AAAs in a row with Max Payne 1 & 2 so many were expecting a 3rd. I actually prefer AW to MP though.

...you seem a bit desprate. Alan Wake got a hayday of bashing. Why are you bringing it back up? is it not enough you're getting KZ3? get over it. KZ3 was a flop. Now don't go crying about other things. games flop it happens. Video game journalism is whats killing the industry.

Than your one of the smarter people in the thread. Apparently some think this is legit. I wonder if they realize TC never came back to defend his point further.

At least Alan Wake was something new. Where as Killzone 3 seems like a step backwards. They already overlooked one error - they kept Rico. Who does that? Fail. Both flopped hard.

You know I would have agreed that Alan Wake was a bigger flop, but cows keep on making these damage control threads nonstop that you're just making killzone 3's flop far worse.

I actually believe that cows expected it to score at least 9.5, surpassing KZ2 in quality and being a huge improvement.

And it could possibly surpass Killzone 2 in quality, I can't wait to find out in 3 days. :)

Of course you do. Just because a game improves most if not everything doesn't mean it will score higher. Just look at LBP2.

lol, damage control. You mad Killzone 3 flopped? Alan Wake had diminishing hype over time. I'm not even sure it was hyped AAA.

I didn't like Alan Wake at all but I still liked it better than Killzone 2 so I'm not giving it a chance. Also Killzone 3 had loads of hype so I don't know what you're talking about.

^I agree, it was long past it's due time. [QUOTE="lawlessx"]what the..cows are still in damage control about killzone 3 flopping?mitu123
They're not used to flops.XD

Well....ifyou had a racing game that claimed to be the god of racing games,6 years in the making and then flops...Then brags about the move controller and how hard core it is and going to sell better than kinnect........and flops.......And then...killzone 3. The so called hallo reach killer, thinking because they see the pretty graphics it's going to be much better. It flops. Hey if i was a cow, i would be going crazy too.

It was also a really really bad game, compared to previous Splinter Cell games.. IMHO it wasnt even a stealth game anymore.

Well....ifyou had a racing game that claimed to be the god of racing games,6 years in the making and then flops...Then brags about the move controller and how hard core it is and going to sell better than kinnect........and flops.......And then...killzone 3. The so called hallo reach killer, thinking because they see the pretty graphics it's going to be much better. It flops. Hey if i was a cow, i would be going crazy too.
