How can people say that YAKOOZA 3 is AAAE if the first ones werent even AAE!

Why do you guys refer to each other as animals?Fightingfan

Indeed:D

bow to the master race :P

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"]I'm starting to think lemmings are randomly making up hype for games just so they can turn around and call it a flop later.SolidTy

That's been going on for a few years. It's a shame too. I guess with no exclusives popping up so soon, the fun is bashing other exclusives?

Oh well....same old SW. lol at Heavy Rain flop manipulation. Putting scores, a poll, and a sticky for the game to manipulate hype? That's not how it's done.:|

Also, comparisons to Killzone make no sense, since the demo for Yakuza is out and it's not anything special, unlike the KZ2 Beta and Demo's. Finally, we can see the scores for all three games, and see it's just going to be a fun little game that PS3 almost didnt' get.

I don't see ONE person in this thread so far Hyping it AAA or AA that is a reputable account. Heck I don't even see low level alt accounts hyping this AA. However, you can see the polls are already being manipulated in the fun fashion we see above.

Take a niche game, hype it AAA (like Heavy Rain) and get ready to bash it to heck! :PIt's a great formula that's worked for a few years, and there is no one going to stop them, because too many don't understand what's happening.

Even though, we see no actual posts claiming AAAE or even AAE at least in this thread.;)

This is one of those little forgotten games. Perhaps the TC is smart in trying to find a method to stop the trend we've seen.

Also, alt accounts will pop up and claim funny things like AAAE! just for lulz, so be weary of those guys. It hasn't happened in this thread, but I've seen it numorous times. Then, that alt account is referred to by users as the entire faction HYPING it AAAE later in conversations.

So cows underhype their games and never overhype 360 exclusives to watch them flop? Riiight.

"Flop manipulation"? One of the better excuses I've heard. Dude, Too Human didn't flop. Cows hyped it up. It was manipulated!

You are right, but Lems underhype their games as well (not REACH, but smaller games), it works all ways, for sure.

My point is the tactic of overhyping random niche titles. We can look through the posts together and see the lack of hype, but the poll says otherwise. You know? This isn't any different than other threads set up in the same way.

I'm talking this way because we are talking about another random game with little to no hype that in a few short weeks will be pwned if these guys get their way...for no other reason than for lulz. You don't see that going both ways in the same fashion, and I've been watching.

It's one thing to say Cows underhype when we are talking about a God of War III or an Uncharted 2...which didn't happen. Those games are AAA hyped. That's understood. Sure, there are always people that make claims, but I'm talking the overall hype. It's another for a tiny game like this or Yakuza to get manipulated into AAA or even AA hype when that's not warranted.

I'm a defender of these small titles, it's lame to attack new IP's trying new things. I'm glad the industry isn't just cooking out shooters left and right, and the small games shouldn't be used by fanboy's for fodder, in this case Yakuza.

First of all, there is no way to hide from 2008's TOO HUMAN 5.5/10 score, so nice try. I'm sure it was hyped 4.0.:roll:

Secondly, hype threads aren't created after scores come out, that's outright manipulation if anyone is been in SW long enough, they know we don't change hype if a game is getting lower scores from other outlets. The Hype was set.

Now the hype is being set by other outlet scores? okay.:roll: Sure. IT's not how it's played, but whatever. I'm sure if you had your way, I wouldn't post about Yakuza, and it could be hyped AAAE, or AAE and get the flop it deserves.

Every faction has their faux pas, I"m not saying anyone is worse than anyone. However, when it comes to this hype game, it's been lame how controlled it has been recently. I can't get very specific without risking someone getting upset, but it's been very interesting to watch, I suppose.

As far as lately, what titles have come out? None. There isn't any to bash or underhype, since none have been released, just a bunch of multiplats.

Look at it from a different perspective.

You are claming the opposite of guilty parties, my friend, when you say it's the cows that really started mass manipulation. It had nothing to do with anyone but the cows, right? See? Same thing, either I'm guilty and you are guilty, or there is some truth to both statments.

Perhaps the truth is no where either one of us. You think the other populace is more guilty from the past, who's to say that is correct? Something to ponder.

Anyways, I just am not going to sit around and watch Yakuza 3 get involved in all this mess. If it gets uberhyped when no one is clearly posting that kind of hype, someone needs to say something. I have elected to do that in this thread. I should have gotten involved in Heavy Rain, but I reacted to late.

Why do you only do it with PS3 exclusives? Or at the very least only mention PS3 exclusives? Why is it some grand conspiracy or manipulation when a game flops, yet not when it succeeds? If a game fails to live up to the hype, then the hype was a lie. Yet if a game succeeds at living up to the game, the hype is justified.

Why not just own up to the fact of a flop? We all do it. There's no need for me to make excuses. No matter what, even with your involvement, a flop is still a flop. That's the bottom line, my friend. However, I do suggest you open up to 360, PC, and Wii games more and accept them as worthy of your defense. It's not just the PS3 games. It's every game. Manipulated. Controlled.

What do you mean? I do it for Wii and I did it for small games in the past, I don't care about the console. Let me explain something to you that maybe you didn't pick up on about me. I like the small games that try to break away from the mold. The games like Too Human (actually I didn't like it after I bought it), but I liked what it represented. I love Viking lore and mythology, and I have studied it in the past, I liked the futuristic setting, I liked the 4 player co op (I love co op)...it just ended up tanking which blew for me. I wanted to love it...and I still own it, but I don't like it. I tired so many times.

What I don't like is the uber MW2 overhyped games. I can't help that these niche titles for a while now have been coming to the PS3 and Wii. That's not my deal. Do I play those games, yes. In fact I got all 69 Spec Ops missions done...because I love Co Op. I love it. I'll take it. Games like Gran Turismo 5 or Reach don't need my help. I don't care about games once they hit that level. In fact, in all those Forza vs. GT5 threads, I barely posted or got involved at all.

I have so many posts loving on niche games from where ever...right now, that's not the direction of this board or the 360, but that doesn't mean I'm not on top of it.

A game like Nier I would love to defend, BUT I can't because I disliked their last game, so I'm apprehensive. As far as the Wii, I pretty much post good things about the Wii 99% of the time. The PC isn't an issue in SW, but I can link you to some choice love quotes from 2010 if you want to see some PC love. I go with the discussion of the board, I am not making new discussions because I learned those seem to die down if their is no controversy.

I commented in your Alpha Protocol thread a few days ago, showing only love, if you recall. I would defend that, but it's not getting mixed in this mess. Alpha Protocal could be a PC only title, or a Xbox 360 exclusive, and I don't care, I would defend it. It's just not under fire. Unfortunately, a lot of New IPs from 3rd parties aren't trashed around here, it's the ones from Nintendo, Xbox, and Sony that suffer. However, I can't help that Sony has been putting out more new IP's than the competition, which why I get involved, for games like Heavy Rain (I've like Quantic Dream since Dreamcast days). Get Xbox to get more games like Alan Wake. Nintendo's Wii has been slacking on New Nintendo IP's this gen as well, which is odd to me. Sure, I can talk about 3rd Party new IP's like NMH's or TvC, but those don't need defended.

For the record, I plan on loving Alan Wake. I'm one of Remedy's biggest fans, I may try to joke with my posts, as you do, but don't mistake me. I will pwn that game. I alwasy caught your jokes, and I thought you caught mine. If you think I'm that serious, rest assured, Im not. If I'm on trial, than you are going to be on trial soon enough. :P

Yakuza 1 & 2 got less than 8.0 on BOTHGS and MC.

7's ARE good,but its more of a rent than a keeper.=/

Dont get the hype....Demo was nothing grounbreaking either

It's called fanboyism! Some retard wants his console to have more AAA exclusives than someone elses... Honestly who cares!

and KZ2's demo was atleast more impressive than this ones,i was actually quite taken back

to me, 'Yakooza 3' sounded like a pretty good idea (I never played the previous games), and i thought it would be a AAA game, but after i played the demo, I was extremely disappointed, and my expectations dropped. I am hyping this game AE or possibly BE... but fans of series should enjoy :)

Awesome game.

It will be a good game. Its just not going to be AAAE. But no one was every hyping it AAAE either. So really my only problem is when its included in the line up of gaems that is suppose to "destroy the competition". If AAE PC and Wii games somehow aren't good enough, why is Yakuza 3?

No one is saying AAA.

Awesome game.

I played the demo and personally thought it was terrible.

Well.. Those were way underrated then because the games were clearly better than that. However I wont be buying yakuza 3 because of the cut content. Sega can just go to hell

(*Looks at poll results*) Hm...eight people voted AAAE. That must mean that there are eight lemmings in here, at least. I'm sure there are a few people legitimately hyping it AAE, but I'd bet a good majority of those votes are from lemmings as well. After looking through the actual thread, and having seen the threads passed, there's no way that may PS3 fans are hyping this game over AE.jalexbrown

I hope it gets AAE so I voted AAE lol but I know its probably AE or maybe BE if GS reviewer was harsh anyway its an AAAE game for me I will take reviews as a grain of salt :P.

You americans wouldnt understand Yakuza anyway.
