It got 7.5 so I guess that means it met the hype! W00t! This how it starts... a game flopping, then a game meeting the hype exactly, and then a game surpassing the hype!

WHAT? Did this meet the hype??? I did not expect this...7.5 is what I would have rated it...but I never expect it to meet the hype...I though GS would 6.0 it.

I played the Demo,it don't seem like the horrible game people are making it out to be,but at the same time,the game won't be making people forget about NG,GOW,or DMC anytime soon.

It appears that 2009 is the year of 7.5 for the 360, no 360 exclusive this year has scored higher then 7.5

Everyone take note! This right here is exactly the mentaility everyone would do well to remember and expose because it runs rampant here.
Gamespot is biased when they flop your games but when it is positive the "faith" is restored.

Back on topic. It is a decent score, sounds like an average game which I think is what many expected. Nothing amazing anddefinitely not something worth bragging about.

Ross_the_B0SS
All the people who claimed it would get a 4 or something, without trying the game itself got owned. But really, anyone who doesn't give it a go gets "owned" it's extremely fun, and nothing like ninja gaiden.

Yep, I expect higher when a Rare game or 2, Forza 3 and Halo 3: ODST comes out. 360 has at least one AAA a year, sometimes 2(like in 2007).

Uh, that'd be a no. If you do think that, then you forget what a Dreamcast game looks like, methinks, because there's no way, no how. And this is coming from a former Sega fanboy and Dreamcast fanatic, btw.

You know, it's not like giving a 7.5 to Race Pro didn't have any relevance to my feelings about Gamespot. Plus I finished Too Human (5.5) and Rise of the Argonauts (6.5), and I enjoyed Ninja Blade more than both, so it was illogical to me, if Gamespot scored Ninja Blade lower than these two (not that I agree with Too Human score, though). And mind that I used the word "somewhat" to emphasise that I didn't really mean it, but the Gamespot surprised me in a positive way. It's been thrashing a lot of underdogs lately. I'm glad it didn't happen this time.

Nope. 7.5 doesn't stand for "decent" or "average". It actually stands for "good". Glad I could clear that up.

Oh and I played Conan (7.5) also, and I enjoyed Ninja Blade more (Conan is a decent game, though, but more like 7.0 to me), so I wouldn't be able to understand if Ninja Blade scored less.

Salt_The_Fries isn't a fanboy...

And, 7 isn't a decent score. It is a good score.

You said it'd be lucky to get a 7 at Gamespot. :lol:

I know you like the game but YOU said it would get a 2 on GS.

I'm not really suprised, expected a 7.0 or 7.5 but I thought this game actually didn't have any hype except by lemmings.

And I will happily accept that I was wrong. :)

Hmmm. I will say this is a bit surprising but...

Who knows GS may try to be spontaneous and give it a 7.5. :PLionheart08

Even if I was being sarcastic I've been scary hot with predictions this year. I called RE5's and MW's scores too. :P

I think this thread would've been a lot bigger had it flopped. It could've scored the same as Leisure Suit Larry! :o Then we'd have a 50 page thread on our hands! :P

Yeah... There would be endless bashing of a game that was hardly hyped, and I would have to leave for a while :P Is it just me or have the lems become quite quiet around here?

Yeah but then it would become "We didn't hype it." :P
