I agree, but apart from GOW3, what has the PS3 had?

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] I'm sure the PS3 library is benefited by Mass Effect 2 / Splinter Cell etc. also. Ravensmash
no that's not what I was talking about, I was talking about actual multiplats

And, you can't deny that all of those multiplats are a benefit to the 360 library, that the PS3 doesn't have.

again, were not talking about 360/PC multiplats or else SCC wouldn't be on the flop list. I was talking about 360/PS3/PC multiplats

After checking Gamespot, and I might be wrong, but the only exclusives 8.5 onwards that PS3 has had this year is GOW3 and Heavy Rain. :lol:

im really regretting my purchase of the 360 tbh

it was dissapointing in 2008 ( fable was okay gears 2 was just gears 1.5)

it was dissapointing in 2009 (odst lol)

and it is dissapointing so far in 2010

sure i can play multiplats on it but thats also possible on PC and PS3. if i had gotten a PS3 for my secondary console i would have games like Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Killzone 2, MGS 4, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance in addition to pretty much every game i have for the 360 sans gears 2, fable 2, odst and mass effec 1,2 by now

So by your logic ModNation Racers, Heavy rain and God of war 3 flopped due to lower than expected scores and plot holes and a lackluster ending from what I heard from PS3 owners of God of War 3. Fail attempt at bashing 360 is fail. Since when did games that we rated in the 8's out of ten become flops? Oh yeah this is system wars where all Sony exclusives are magically innovative and great and have variety because Sony PR says , where multiplats Like Mass Effect and Left 4 dead and the Wii are ignored, where cows make a big deal over a total of 4 games that look better than 360 games, where all prepubescent teenagers come to bash each others piece of plastic instead of actually discussing games. Sad people are sad.Shuraijuro

PS3 has more AAA and AA than the 360 this year with GOW3, MLB10 The Show and Heavy Rain, Yakuza 3, and ModNation Racers. If were talking about exclusives, 360 doesn't even have an AAAE this year

The 360 has been floping games all gen long, something is really wrong over at MS. Every year theres a ton of these flops on the system and they only manage to get like 1 good AAAe. The 360's glory days really did end in 2007.

It's okay Lemmings. Considering that the PS3 will have alot more future exclusives then the 360 it'll also have more flops as well. So your hearts can be at ease.

Napoleon isn't much of an expansion, it holds it own. Age of Conan is standalone expansion, but even then, all three of these games hold more content and longevity than most console games. The beauty being that they cost less money as well.

but it was said to beat MGS4 a lot, and thats AAAA 110million
To be fair, in the past, before the mechanics were scrapped in Conviction, Splinter Cell was always superior to MGS in regards to stealth and stealth only. That's probably where you saw the comparisons being drawn. I don't think anyone actually thought with seriousness that Conviction would surpass MGS4 as a whole. :P

Conviction was hyped through the roof before the demo and was still hyped AAA afterwardsClank-PS-Snake

You're already wrong, it was hyped AA after demos.

In a year when the Xbox 360 got Mass Effect 2, I'm reasonably happy with the games it got. Just that game alone is enough to salvage the entire library for theconsole so far this year.

MLB didn't really have hype from people who were actually interested in the game, it's too niche really. I personally thought it would get an 8.5-9.0 though.

SCC is multiplat? This is what puzzles me, if people include PC/360 games as 360 exclusives in PS3 vs. 360 threads, cows dismiss the games as multiplat. But when counting flops you do count a multiplat?

Your actually wrong on all counts. Modnation AA hype. Heavy Rain, AA hype, AAA hype after AAA reviews starting coming in and the demo was out, some people people defended the AA hype before reviews was the real true pure hype, the AAA hype after reviews was tainted. And MLB wasn't even hyped, it was simply argued as if it would count as an exclusive or not.

Multiplats can flop just as much as any other game. Final Floptasy XIII? Bioflop 2?

No, Heavy Rain was hyped AAAE and MLB The Show was assumed to be getting AAAE because it was going to improve upon MLB The Show 2009 while still arguing over it counting as an exclusive.

What do you mean no Heavy Rain was hyped AAA. Heavy Rain was hyped exactly how I said it was. It was hyped AA, only after AAA reviews started coming in the the demo released did someone make a new hype thread where the poll had AAA in the lead, and after if scored 8.5 ofc lems used that thread and not the other ones. Are you denying this? It's all here in the SW archives... And MLB 10 wasn't hyped, you won't find threads were cows list that game ever. Even the people that argued it should be excluisve didn't care about the game.

Conviciton was hyped > MGS4. MGS4 = AAAA. So don't tell me it was hyped AA.

I think people compared it to MGS4 because of the stealth gameplay. I've seen most people hyped it to AA and very few AAA.

Kind sir did you read what I said? I don't think you did, I know there was a AAA hype thread, but that was AFTER the reviews started coming in. Before the reviews and demo it was AA, and hype is decided before. You don't pick the hype of a game after you've played the demo, or after you've seen reviews...

Every console has had its fair share of "flops". Has it been relevant in any way? No, it has not. We are getting many great games this year, that's all about it.

I'm not going to argue over Heavy Rain, it flopped. As for MLB The Show Cows weren't fighting so hard for an AAE. There wasn't major hype but the reason Cows were fighting for it was because they thought it would score AAAE being better then 2009.

Kind sir did you read what I said? I don't think you did, I know there was a AAA hype thread, but that was AFTER the reviews started coming in. Before the reviews and demo it was AA, and hype is decided before. You don't pick the hype of a game after you've played the demo, or after you've seen reviews...

That thread was started 2 weeks before release...and since when did you decide what are the rules for a hype thread?

Heavy Rain's review embargo was lifted two weeks before it's release. :/

Heavy Rain had AAA hype

I didn't decide dude, comon sense decided. If you hype a game for a year, put it on every list, and claim how it's such an amazing reason to get a console, and then a demo comes out and the demo sucks and all of a sudden you go from hyping AAA to A one or 2 weeks from release? That doesn't make any sense. Hype is what the community thinks the game will get and has been hyping for the longest time, you can't change it when you get to play the demo and start seeing reviews... That's cheating, that's like changing the hype after you know it's gonna flop or something...

AA Hype

And look at the date. There are more threads like this one. You can choose to use the one that used hype after the demo and reviews came in, but common sense says your supposed to use the general hype that was used for the longer time and not tainted by demo's and reviews.

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"][QUOTE="ZippySlappy"]Nah brah,Convection was hyped AA.ZippySlappy

Conviciton was hyped > MGS4. MGS4 = AAAA. So don't tell me it was hyped AA.

Also look at what i syumbled upon. :3

Official Splinter cell Hype thread.

Hmm.

SCC was hyped AAA this whole generation, it was only once the demo was released that people hyped it AA because it was OBVIOUS it was gonna flop, same thing that happened wioth Heavy Rain. Same reason why those hype threads don't count. You count the hype BEFORE demos and reviews not after. After it always changes.

[QUOTE="IronBass"]Every console has had its fair share of "flops". Has it been relevant in any way? No, it has not. We are getting many great games this year, that's all about it.

But...but... logic. Hurts... brain... malfuntioning. Must. Resort. To. Fanboyi *dies*. :P Get in the SW spirit IronBass.

Time from release has no bearing on hype, neither does playing a demo. Its just like hyping a game AAA and finding out from a website that a feature would be in it was cut and then reducing your hype, perfectly valid.

Polls can change. I haven't voted in that thread, and can slightly modify the hype right now months after release. Future hype threads really should be based on people posting their votes.

People should just accept that both Heavy Rain and Conviction flopped though. Doesn't change their scores or make them bad games. Meh.

How about you read the thread he linked? Eveyrone basically says "the demo was a disapointment, AA hype..." Read it if you don't believe me... That thread was like a week away form release, the demo was out.
