Maybe if R & C gets a good score, they'll man up and actually hype things over AA again.

Of course!!! Specially after LAIR. I agree 100% with you, and I'm a cow. Just one thing, what's wrong with that, and, would lemmings or Sheep do different if they had a flop ala LAIR?

I do agree that Cows have an air of insecurity about them. Nintendo and Microsoft both have games and sales on their side, while Playstation 3 has had a lot of failures.

I didn't hype Zak and Wiki, but I think a lot of people were surprised. It sure didn't look like an 8.5 from what I saw, but sometiems we get stuff wrong. The only reason I see Brawl not being hyped AAA is because online hasn't been confirmed (?) and its predecessors were never AAA. Lost Odyssey doesn't seem to bring any new concepts, so it was figured it won't score that well. PGR has never had a AAA title, so it was smart to keep it at AA.

Now, some cows have been hailing Uncharted AAA and now they play it safe. What gives? I understand Ratchet being hyped AA, seeing as it has never had a AAA title.

It must be said, the next time a cow makes a "this holiday will be great for Sony!" they'll be effectively admitting that cows are awaiting two or three AA games this year.

Just the timing of releases ....... but cows will have their AAA hyped games (for gs scores) coming up , just not for the rest of this year. It just happened to work out that way. There will be plenty next year that will get overwhelming AAA hype.Is that a huge problem for you or is it difficult to understand ?

Maybe because Ratchet and Clank is not a AAA series, the first game got AAA, but the rest got AA. Maybe there using common sense. And it's sad you have to make a thread about this.

Hype and excitement threads are different than AAA guaranteed hype threads. How you can't see the difference is mind boggling.

Do they have shots at AAA ? Sure they do. Do the majority of cows expect them to be AAA ? Nope.

I just find it funny how games like the one in your sig and Ratchet and Clank get multiple hype threads (some even GOTY-hype) made about them on a regular basis, and yet, COws hype it as AA in the official thread. If that's not insecurity and uncertainty, I don't know what is.

I am not a cow but reasonable expectations arent something to call cows out for.

There may be 1 or 2 games a year, is some years 0 games, that I would be willing to hype as AAA for any system.... ps3 360 wii pc... any system.

:| That stuff is irrelevent. You don't have to expect AAA GS scores from Uncharted and Ratchet to be super excited about the games. You can even think they might get AAA.

I think Gamespot is more likely to give Uncharted AA than AAA , but that won't change my excitement.

Where in the HELL did I say that you have to hype a game AAA to be excited about it? Stop putting words in my mouth. ALL I have stated is that I find it strange how I have seen many posts by Cows that SPECIFICALLY proclaim either of those two games, or both, AAA-GOTY material. That is ALL I have said. Seriously, calm down. :|

Mind boggling, you say? Are you taking things seriously enough d'you think? :roll:

It's very simple: a game is hyped over a period of time. If over that period of time it becomes obvious that a certain group is hyping a particular game to be a hit, it is irritating to find that in the official hype thread they then go against those months of constant hype and say "no... we only thought it'd be AA."

You know it's true. You dont have uncharted in your sig because you think it'll score a happy little 8.0 - you think it'll be awesome. And so do many more. The sheep think SSBB will be incredible; they're just too scared to admit it.

There is nothing strange about it. Look in the official threads and you will find people hyping the games AAA , so I would imagine that there are people out there that think they will have shots at AAA. Is it really that confusing to you ?

Will you be confused when people hype SSBB AAA closer to release or will you be confused when some lems hype LO AA or AAA ?

Wow, I really expected better composure from you. Seriously, I am confounded at your aggressiveness, as you seem to be thinking I am attacking your games. How am I not getting through to you? I see the majority of Cows making AAA-GOTY predictions for said to games, and then they suddenly turn around and hype it AA.

Mind boggling, you say? Are you taking things seriously enough d'you think? :roll:

It's very simple: a game is hyped over a period of time. If over that period of time it becomes obvious that a certain group is hyping a particular game to be a hit, it is irritating to find that in the official hype thread they then go against those months of constant hype and say "no... we only thought it'd be AA." Fanboys like yourself only see what the vocal few are spreading. As we all know a vocal few don't represent the group , especially in the case of Rathet and Uncharted.

You know it's true. You dont have uncharted in your sig because you think it'll score a happy little 8.0 - you think it'll be awesome. And so do many more. The sheep think SSBB will be incredible; they're just too scared to admit it. I do think Uncharted will be awesome , 8.0 or not. It isn't going to make a huge difference to me whether it scores an 8.0 , an 8.5 , or a 9.0. They are all possible. When it comes to what GS will actually give it , I think it has a slightly better chance of scoring an 8.5 than it would a 9.0. Do you want me to hype it AAA just because it is in my sig ?

Yes , I said mind boggling.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Vox"]I even made a joke before about "before you know it they'll be hyping Uncharted AA!" and then i was amazed to look at the front page and see "AA" in the hype thread. That game has had at least five hype threads from the cows every day.Nike_Air

Hype and excitement threads are different than AAA guaranteed hype threads. How you can't see the difference is mind boggling.

Do they have shots at AAA ? Sure they do. Do the majority of cows expect them to be AAA ? Nope.

I had a chuckle at the TC's post, but the truth is, yeah, there is a little insecurity going around, due to the fact that GS has yet to give a PS3 exclusive title a 9.0, and we all know that games get scored rather harshly here.

But even in leiu of that, I officially hyped Uncharted AAA. I hyped R&C AA, and I still think it has a 50% chance of getting 8.5 here on GS (-.5 for being a PS3 exclusive, and no chainsaw bayonet... JOKING) but It also has a chance for 9.0, and the glory of being the first (Undisputed) AAAE for the PS3 here on Gamespot. If not.. well.. the wait continues. Either way, I'm going to play the hell out of it, lol.

I do agree that Cows have an air of insecurity about them. Nintendo and Microsoft both have games and sales on their side, while Playstation 3 has had a lot of failures.

[QUOTE="Nike_Air"]Bait thread , how original. Lock please.Nike_Air

That was constructive.

Why wasn't Zak and Wiki hyped AA ? Why isn't SSBB hyped AAA ? Why isn't Lost Odyssey hyped AA ? Why wasn't PGR4 hyped AAA ?

Are they insecure?

None of those games receive the insane amount of threads that R&C and Uncharted does. None!

You missused the term "insane amount". neither have anything close to the amount of hype Halo 3 got. And besides, Cows have a LOT more to gain from having a POSSIBLE solid AAA title, so they talk about it a lot, but they also will lose a lot of (already sub-zero) respect/dignity if they were to hype it AAA and it were to flop. It all comes down to predicting how the GS review crew thinks, and generally they seem to think anything on the PS3 isn't worth AAA. Reality hit the cows hard.

ostracize cows for hyping high, now ostracize cows for hyping low? really...

the smart thing to do would be for lemmings, cows, sheep, and hermits to hype all their games -A. That way, no games flop, and nearly every game becomes a gem.
