Biggest Self-Ownage In System Wars History?

Cue drum roll...

Doom 3 AA--Causes a good chunk of "hermits" to leave

Twilight Princess 8.8--If it's true that JeffG got fired because the Kane and Lynch review was the last straw, chances are, this was one of those straws

JeffG getting fired--Never before have I seen such backlash to anything in this industry.

MGS4--Causes lemmings to question the intregrity of reviews, until *insert AAAA 360 exclusive here*, then it'll be the cows

The arrival of Apple fanboys--someone is going to get owned hard either way

The Conduit reviews--I don't trust High Voltage anymore

teh foliage king!--You mean people actually debated this?

Crysis--In one way, I thank you, Crytek, for bringing back PC gaming to a new level of reverence, but I hate you for the same reason, because thanks to you, half these threads here are Console vs. PC. I guessyou can go Apple gaming, that way, nobody wins expect you, I use that same logic to support Linux in front of Mac and PC fanboys:P

Your sixth point will be destroyed if the devs actually prove themselves when the sequel releases in about a week.Complete and utter ownage will occur on SW if that happens.That wasn't big ownage anyway.

That there is a board called System Wars. That people actually are passionate about it. [QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]...JeffG getting fired--Never before have I seen such backlash to anything in this industry....shane_orija

I think most people just use the forums and social features the site offers.

when the first Alan Wake gameplay was released, the PS3 had been dethroned but when the game came out, it was pretty much self ownage for the lemsKevinButlerVP

I also want to mention how surprised I was at the backlash against the 3DS at launch when everybody loved it when it was announced. I remember someone saying it was better than porn.

not really seeing the self ownage here.......sony is popping out alot of games this year

Does any of that really qualify as self-ownage? It seems like plain ownage.

I thought self-ownage is when you own yourself.

i didnt know 85 and 8.5's(which is a B) are considered "flop" but ok

I'm too lazy to look. Has this been posted yet?

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] whoa, we are talking about this year not the whole life span, ps3 has infamous 2, uncharted 3, socom 4, Disgaea 4, resistance 3, last guardian, twisted metal coming out in the coming months all 360 has is gears of war 3 and forza 4. come on man, year of the ps3

[QUOTE="eboyishere"]

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]First of all about half have flopped so far (according to SW). And more importantly exclusives are such a tiny percentage of quality games (Metacritic scores of 85 about). The whole exclusives thing couldn't be more overrated. KC_Hokie

i didnt know 85 and 8.5's(which is a B) are considered "flop" but ok

the biggest self-ownage in System Wars history is in 2010 when Xbox 360 owners said "with Alan Wake, Halo: Reach and Kinect this really is THE YEAR of the Xbox 360."

one did TERRIBLY sales wise, and was beaten critically and commercially by another PS3 exclusive...Heavy Rain.

one had the lowest score out of all Halo games (next to the abomination that is ODST)

and one has yet to release a game worth purchasing.

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]After how many years? Now list off the multiplatform games that received a 85 or above according to Metacritic. Completely crushes the 'exclusive' list. KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] ughhh, why do u keep bring in metacritic all the time? if i went by scores all i would play is call of duty and halo, naw, ps3 is really pumping out great titles this year, about to go play some yakuza 4 "which is a ps3 exclusive" oh look it got a 78 on metacritic, oh man, now i can't play it because it didn't recieve a 85 or above..... pshh, i don't play scores yo, i play games. you should try it sometimes.

Maybe he is referring to the fact that they say that every year almost by default in a random way that obviously since it can only be true or false will be used as ownage if in the 50% positive result chance or ignored and lost in time and space if in the 50% negative result chance.

Two pages in and this hasn't been mentioned?

What you ALSO meant to say was that Reach was the 2nd HIGHEST scoring Halo game next to Halo: CE. Halo 2 is right behind Reach at 9.4 on GS.

And no one ever said that Kinect would have must-buy games in 2010. In fact, there were plenty of 360 fans who made the point there would be no must-buy games.

... Oh wait, how about Dance Central outscoring GT5? :lol:

basically a "the boy that cried wolf" type of deal

That is as old as the 360 itself, if not older.:lol:

we should be talking about the biggest self-ownages THIS YEAR. like the Xbox 360 not having released any exclusives yet going well into May.

I know, a poster here made a serious argument about this a long time ago. I still think that's the biggest self ownage in System Wars. Most people here aren't even posting things that qualify as self ownage :?

I remember some guy predicting Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is gonna outscore GT5. People laughed at him.. that was a lot of ownage.

this year it'll basically be:

PC>PS3>Wii>Xbox 360.

and this isn't me,

it's the truth.

All those people who were hating on that one guy who said GTA and MGS4 would both get 10s.

People are confused as to what self-ownage is. When you say GT5 will be AAAA and destroy FM3, and somebody says the opposite, that is just ownage for the FM3 fan. Now, an example of self-ownage is the halo reach pron-gate incident where the poor guy made an edited printscreen of gs giving reach a 2.5, but he forgot he had a prontube.com tab open. Or when this dude tried to prove kz3 was cgk over c2 with a link that literally called c2 cgk in the opening paragraph. That is self-ownage.

"London, France!"

Wait..you kids probably don't remember that one...(mutters to self)

someone need to find that ps3 treadmill thread, now that was self ownage

Best fad ever.
