First flop of the year?

I dont recall anyone expecting AAA on this one.  Ratchet, Jak, and Sly never get Mario kind of hype.  They mostly fall in the 7.5-8.5 range as far as scores.

hmmm sig needs updated, flop or not, at least it's a game!blue_hazy_basic

haha exactly.  As usual, here we are with 360 fans ripping everyone else's games while their shelf sits empty waiting on the inevitable fall release of Halo, Forza, or Gears of War.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]But than why is ni no kuni on two systems?Blutenmonat

Nope it got decent ratings everywhere else mostly. First Flop is Dead Space 3 now that game had more expectations then Sly Cooper. Sly did a good job of stiuck to its roots with better graphics and funner gameplay, thats a ll I wanted from sly.

Honestly what I was expecting. I don't remember there being hyped though. I could be wrong though, I tend to miss threads because I can't get on here everyday. 

I may check it out at some point.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] well crap on a cracker ...blue_hazy_basic

Is there a link for the thread where this game got hyped? Because otherwise this thread is (even more) pointless and dumb.

Sony released a "good" game, how dare they :evil:

Damage control up in here!

If the game was AA people would go "Not Bad, Good Score, Good Game."

If the game was AAA people would go "OMG! BEST SLY COOPER EVER! OVERRATED! MEGATONS!!!!"

7.5 seems right, even though we have people saying "It wasn't hyped, can't flop." and "OH IT FLOPPED! HAHAHA!"

hmmm sig needs updated, flop or not, at least it's a game!blue_hazy_basic

No hype = No flop.

Sly Cooper Theives in Time 7.5

OUCH

Animal-Mother

7.5 is bad?.......also I did'nt see much hype for this game here dude.It seems your trying to make something out of nothing here if you ask me.

I think it sad that nowadays a 7.5 is considered bad if I only played AAA games I would not be gaming that much. It is a worthy successor to the PS2 classics, and I'm loving it so far, though on the Vita, the visuals take a hit.layton2012

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] :lol: Holy ****, you're not very smart are you? Polling is reliable to the greatest extent we have. Reliable enough to actually be used (as we do). You're claiming that the method skimming a thread and guessing at an opinion is also reliable enough. ****ing prove it you moron :lol: And butthurt? I've honestly never heard that from someone who wasn't some fanboy. And don't worry. having accounts means absolutely nothing when they are free to make. I even have a Live account for the sole purpose of playing games stupid enough to use games for WIndows Live, lol. I don't even own any Xbox, just gaming PC, PS3, DS, and Wii. Though youre obviously not intelligent enough to realize that isn't close to proof of anything anywhere, any time.lx_theo

My point is and will still be that the only accepted form of judging hype is polling, despite its flaws. This is because its the only thing the community uses. Prove otherwise with your before made claims of skimming a thread and guessing being just as valid. lx_theo

There´s precedent of games having a hype thread without a poll to measure the hype,like this one.

In fact,this one was a desperate move made specifically to avoid the game flopping at all costs by removing the poll,since it had happened a few times that year already and the cow´s excuse was that the poll´s were "rigged" so they were ditching it and counting the votes by individual posts that time.

So as you can see,a poll is not the only way to judge hype around here.

But how exactly does that apply to this guy's assertion that skimming a thread where no attempt to record hype (and so only a limited apart of community would have voiced their opinion on such. Mainly the excited ones) and then guessing which is most prominent?

Was the game even hype to begin with?

Wait.. what? you really dont know how this thing works do you? lol.. in order for it to work there has to be a poll with actual votes, only 1 person in that thread actually gave it number and wasnt even sure it would crack a 7 and it did more than that.

it did not flop sorry to burst ur bubble.

what does Ms got this year? :oops:

lx_theo

Sorry Chum.

Also who said anything about the 360. It's doing terrible right now.

You can always depend on Sony to deliver the first flop of the yearRR360DD

Well the more games you make and take risk with, the more chances you have to flop. MS whores out Halo, Gears, and Forza over and over. Of course MS is going to have less chances to flop. Now if you prefer using a game you'll never play as ownage for strangers on the internet, seems 360 is your best bet. However if you just want a high quality games library that mostly consists of titles that released after 05-06 then PS3 is your best bet.

these are the main cows of system wars...all the other cows are just newbs who never post.... are we supposed to count all the level 1's now?

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] No I do. THere has to be a poll? Where are the rules where it has to be a poll? Can you show me those? AND alas, people did hype it in your thread. It's not validated proof that it %100 HAS to be a poll.

There's been various levels of hype for Sly from many different posters. Making an assumption off of the "usual" isn't really enough to validate anything here.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="lx_theo"] There has to be a poll, yes. It means people can't just make stuff up based on skimming the predictions, people can't go back and change, and much more. Its just common sense.
