[QUOTE="blitzkid1"]I still stand by what i said , Too Human is a flawed and horrible game, all you have to do is play the demo, its your 60 bucks, 5.5.BioShockOwnz

Alright, xjet -- now can we get back to the topic... you know, Banjo? The TC would've probably liked more people to answer his question instead of flinging mud.

Whatever.

And Spore, too? :o Those are the 3 (Banjo, LBP, Spore) I want the most. I hope they don't flop, because defending a game against a whole board isn't an easy task. :( :P

Spore has 6% And if they do flop at least SW will be more interesting for me.

I really doubt it will flop. It seems to be a lock for at least AA, and I don't think AAA would be a surprise.

A game flopping on system wars is supposed to be entirely dependant on the score hyped by the majority. If it is hyped AA, and scores AA, it is not a flop. Also, if only a few people hype Banjo AAA, and it scores AA, then those people are owned, but the game overall is still not a flop because those few people who hyped it AAA are not a part of the majority.

I don't have enough faith in this title to hype it AAA. RARE's 2 sequels over the last few years have scored worse than their original titles...Conker and PDZ. I still can't believe PDZ scored AAA though. But, even so, it scored nearly a full point lower than Perfect Dark. I'm hyping Banjo AA.

It's not being hypedat all, which isn't that surprising I suppose. It's not bloody.

I think it will get AA. This is the only 360 title for the year that I really want to play.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]If Too Human can flop, than any game is open for flopping.After_Math

Wrong. After the demo, a lot of lems including myself weren't that interested in the game. A demo of Banjo will be out before the real game is out, we'll find out than whats the chance of flopping.

Unless you're like me and don't care if it flops as long as it is fun. I'll preorder it soon.

Banjo is going to brim with polish and quality.

I'd say put down a preorder with pride. How can you go wrong for $40?

How could you not expect too human to get low review scores with all the things dennis dyack said about neogaf. Underestimating how many people take neogaf for the seriusly, and how many people in the gaming industry acually frequent there?

the chance of banjo flopping would be zero to none....banjo kazooie and banjo tooie...got a 9.9 ( kazooie) ...and a 9.6 (tooie)....unless they didnt keep the same people from the makers of banjo kazooie and tooie.....and have the same people from viva pinata...... and OMG JakeTD21 your sig is annoying...im trying to type and ur sig is bothering me.....anyways....ya if they have the same people from viva pinata then it will have a chance of flopping.

Depends on who reviews it, and what the Hype is, if AAA it has a mild chance to reach high AA status. even as AAA hype it's doubtfull it will flop, nostalgia if anything will secure it a high score.

If MS does a good job of marketing the game then it will be a hit. There were millions of people that bought the Banjo games for the N64. If MS does a lame job of getting the word out then yes it will flop. Too many people have thier eye on Fable 2, Gears 2 and Fallout 3.

Tru, if R&C flopped for having too much gameplay variety and stuff to do, this game will probably flop for having too much vehicle customization options

Except too human got destroyed because of it hideous flaws, Banjo doesnt look like itll get a 5.5.

oh come on, Too Human flopping was not suprising in the least....I mean I keep reading how most Lems knew it was trash months ago.

But this game being priced $39.99 at retail will help it immensly when being scored on sites. If it was a typical $59.99 sale price, yeah it would probably flop. Right now it's probably going to get AA (8.0 probably) just because the price is great.

Flop, nah as there is no hype thread. How about the next Motorstorm or LBP ? What's the hype on those ?

Banjo N&B will deliver the goods for gamers yearning for the open world, build your own almost unique vehicle to get through this new, truly innovative third installment of a legendary platform franchise.

Then take those vehicles on-line and experience what others have dreamed up and challenge for superiority.

No flop, Nope.

Did you read that descrption from a box or do you work for MS lol? Exactly who yearns for an open world to fly/build your unique vehicle on a previously legendary platform franchise. From what I've seen people yearn to kill stuff with guns in 3rd and 1st person shooters....hence why Gears 2 will make people ignore this game. Although the pricing is nice so it might do a little better than I thought in sales.

oh and Banjo for the record was being hyped AAA.....that is until that doomsday announcement of it being a vehicle game. All hyped went away after that. For those using the word "innovative" to describe this game......Too Human has proven sometimes you don't want to change too much or face the wrath of reviewers.

realistically there's a moderate chance of flopping

it might get hyped AAA, then only get an 8.5 .. a flop here at GS, but still a great game
