Thats exactly what I'm wondering about for this game. It was supposed to be a really good rpg that was supposed to be big time and its a complete flop according to some people out there. Anyway do you already consider the game a flop and are expecting more bad reviews or do you think the bad reviews will be few and far between?

If you ask me I think more bad reviews are on the way and I think Lair will get more bad reviews as well.

Woah woah woah, don't get ahead of yourself. Every game gets a few lower reviews, even if the majority say it's good. We should wait and see.

The best of the best games don't get reviews in the 6's or 7's. Look at Resident Evil 4, Goldeneye, FFX. The best of the best don't get those scores.

Most said AA. A few fanatics it seems said it would be AAA. Most realize it can't be AAA because that means it's Mass Effect quality which we know it's not going to be.

The hypocrisy in this thread is astounding. Lair gets 2 bad reviews and it's a massive flop, but not Blue Dragon. It gets 2 bad ones and the only response lemmings could give it is 2 bad reviews doesn't make it a flop, wait for Gamespot's review thats what counts.

Metroid Prime received a 66% from one review and Metroid Prime 2 received a 78% from one as well. FFX received three reviews in the 70% range. Really, it's to early to just write this game off.

I don't know about the rest of you all but if a game gets like 5 or 6 bad reviews I really start to wonder about the game. The games that I listed above that I considered the best of the best may have gotten at most 3 bad reviews in the 7's. You can check it out for yourself at gamerankings.com

Yeah but FFX only had 3 bad reviews and that was it. Blue Dragon already has about 2 bad reviews out of 10 reviews or so. FFX got 3 bad reviews out of 30 plus or so reviewers. So odds are it will be very hard for Blue Dragon to stay under 3 bad reviews at this point as it would for any game trying to surpass or be as good as FFX when it comes to reviews.

That's why I said we should wait and see. I never said that Blue Dragon wouldn't get more bad reviews, just that guessing gets us nowhere. I thought that was pretty obvious in my first post. And you were still wrong about the reviews.

Thats what I like about gamerankings.com is that it takes into account every review and then it gives you the avg review from everyone so the review from that site isn't really an opinion when they that many scores are compiled together. It still is an opinion to a certain degree but its more or less how good the game really is in most cases.

Oh and once again...the majority of people hyped Blue Dragon as AA. Crazed Mistwalker fans mainly claimed it as an AAA GOTY JRPG killer.

Which is the minority.

Not necessiarly either of those. Actually most people look at this game as its supposed to be one of the main rpgs for the xbox360 coming out in the near future. Just like Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Fable 2. I've heard countless times where xbox fanboys would add that into their lists of great up coming games for the xbox360.

I love it how when Lair gets a bad review in EGM, lemmings all jump on it and say "LOL! I knew this game would flop! TCHBO!", but when Blue Dragon gets a bad review, it's "Nonono! That's only one review! It shouldn't count!"

I can't believe that these games are getting compared, lol. Is it because they're releasing in the same time slot, or because they both have dragons?

Indeed. It's pretty pointless to discuss idiotic fanboy behavior, all sides are pretty bad.

I'm still interested in Blue Dragon.

I think the reason that people are discrediting the Blue Dragon score is because it already has many good reviews from the Japanese release...
