Whats up with thisc onservative trend that lemmings are adopting lately?

Definition of Hype: Exaggerated or extravagant claims made especially in advertising or promotional material: "It is pure hype, a gigantic PR job" (Saturday Review).

Hype your games!!! Eternal Sonata hyped only A? That's not hype at all, that's a conservative estimate. Cows hype (well, maybe a little over hype - Lair hyped AAA :P), but lemmings are playing "gamespot reviewer game". You should hype AAA/AA based on graphics and your "anticipation" to play the game.

nohype,no flop, no fun, no SW.

edit: dang space disappears.

We don't need to hype 360 games, because there's a general understanding that most of them are going to be great.

Can the same be said for PS3 or Wii games?:P

duhh, they're hyping Halo 3 AAA :|

Anyway, I think cows are doing enough hyping for everyone. Watching games that they hype as "the REASON TO OWN A PS3" flop is fun.

The lemmings are afraid of being owned. So being a manticore I'll hype some of their games, since they don't have any balls.

Mass Effect = AAA

Eternal Sonata = AA

Too Human = AAA

Halo 3 = AAA

PGR4 = AA

Alan Wake = AAA

Thank you! I really hope for Mass Effect to live up to the hype. I might buy a 360 if it does.

Good god, if there's one thing you should learn its NOT to hype a game based on graphics, thats what caused the Lair debacle. Despite everyone warning the cows they wouldn't listen. The cows problem is that the lack of great games is driving them nuts so they are prepared to hype any old rubbish and they do!

Lems hyped Bioshock AAA, halo 3 AAA, mass effect was high AA (8.5) or AAA I don't remember, but whats the point of hyping a game that looks and sounds average? I don't get what you're trying to say? That Lems should hype the crappy games so cows can get some revenge?

The way I see SW is that, you hype, you get owned (sometimes), and that makes it fun. Blind fanboism, zealous willingness to believe and anticipate fora game thus hyping are part of SW. What's the point of hyping conservatively after careful analysis of gameplay, content, past developer performance? That is not HYPE my friend. Hype is when you go nuts after seeing a screenshot :)

There is no need to hype our games since we have so manytitles to choose from. Some are great and some are not so great, but I enjoy having such an array to chose from and I have enjoyed all the ones I have played. I absolutely love having many games to choose from, as opposed to pondering what movie I am going to watch.

??? Isnt System Wars the forum to "talk trash and hype games"? I dont know what are you talking about? At home I am busy playing Warhawk, Lair (no, I rented it :))DotA (Warcraft III expansion) I post in SW when I'm at work.

BTW, I honestly dont see the "great game selection" that Xbox supposely offered until recentlybefore Bioshock and Blue Dragon came out.

Yeah, after BD received a less than favorablescore, lemms stopped hyping that game.

But, it's to late now, it's hyped AAA and the Final Fantasy killer.

Just becuase the the PS3 games keep flopping theres no reason to make things up. Read the stickey its AA (although i think it will be an A)

It is but not to hype every single game (like uncharted as AAA) when they are clearly not. Games worth hyping are hyped as I said before. So this quarter the hyped games for the 360 are Halo 3, Bioshock and Mass Effect. With these quality games coming out theres no need to hype games which are not of the same quality as AAA (ie Lair, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, etc etc). Its only cows that feel the need to hype every and any game, especially when they haven't seen any in game action (ie Killzone2)

unlike you cows, we're actually smart in which games we choose to hype. Just because a game looks great doesn't mean it's going to score well and one would think that the cows would have learned this by now.

Bioshock was hyped AAA and that delivered. Next there's Halo3 (easily AAA), Mass Effect and PGR4. Those games at least feature gameplay as the main course with great graphics and replay value to boot. :)

since launch, the 360's had AAA titles with one at least every other month. It's your own fault if choose not to acknowledge those excellent games.

The irony of your response... Is the xbox 360 library better than PS3? Yes. Is it a great selection of games? No, at least not for me.

There have already been many strong 360 games, with more coming out, so we don't necessarily feel some constant and desperate attempt to prove our system's worth like a certain particular section of gamers does. ;)
