That is actually a very good score. the 8s are great so that means the 8.8 is very great.  And besides why do people care about what gamespot says? I don't agree with their reviews myself

So much for the "guaranteed" AAA. You would think people should've learned by now there is no pre-assured AAA.

"officially" ? What does that even MEAN? I dont understand how people can claim ownage on another group of people for a game getting a, literally, GREAT score.....it just doesnt make any sense....no matter what the system no matter what the game. Is this just a way for SW folks to delude themselves into thinking they are talking about games without actually talking about gameplay? Because this whole trend of picking an arbitrary number, predicting a score, and then claiming "ownage" for that game not getting that randomly predicted number, predicted by a small number of people not representative of any group whatsoever, is just an exercise in consumer stupidity.

Halo 3 is about as close to gauranteed as you can get, in my opinion. But you're right generally. Even MGS 3, which was AAA IMO got an 8.6 here, so who knows.

I will take SPM, enjoy it, then I will get Pokemon Diamond and do the same, however this is related to the WIi, but Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will connect to Wii, so it kind of counts. :P I know it doesn't, but after SPM, MP 8 is out in May I believe? It's something I'm personally looking forward too, but then again I've got like 20 titles to buy or beat... :?

Oh, I fully expect a score around 7. If nothing else because 1) It's a PS2 port 2) No multiplayer Still, I love the concept, and it's already been released in Europe with fairly good reviews. IGN-UK gave it a 7.6, ONM UK an 87.5, and Nintendo Power gave it a 7.5. Plus, I'm a flight sim nut. I got fun from Airforce Delta Strike, and that game sucked. I think I'll do well with this one.

Because Gamespot hates teh reading. Reviews for games whose dialogue is presented through text are generally mixed in that area. It depends on the reviewers attitude towards reading. I've got no problem with reading; I'd prefer text then having the game dragged down by cheesy dialogue.

True, Panzer_Zwei, but it's just a fun little exercise to add to the craziness that is System Wars. Personally, I don't care how many people scream "flop!" but it's those who assume "8.8" suggests that the game is awful who really get on my nerves.

Nobody said guaranteed. In fact, if you look at most posts in the "official" thread, most people were saying "Ah, what the hell, I'll risk it." Myself included.

I reallly don't like to associate "flop" with an 8.8.  I mean honestly this is better than what I personally was expecting for it (although I do realize the overall hype was AAA).

Pffft.... 8.8 is the new 9.5. A lot of games reviewers now seem to have a phobia of giving a score above 9.0 for some reason. Aside from Oblivion (which technically came out a year ago anyway), what was the most recent (new) game on any console to get above a 9.0?

Don't you understand how System Wars works? Read the informational thread, PLEASE! If a game hasn't lived up to the predicted hype here on SW then it is a flop here on SW.

Here's my take. At System Wars, it flopped... not by a lot, but enough for me to admit ownage since I hyped it AAA. The good news is that life goes on and SPM is a great game that's a must-buy for any Wii owner. I will move on and hype the next big game... whatever it is.

You know what I don't like? this place is infested with people who have no idea what the word "flop" means. Look guys.. a flop is a game that did not live up to the hype. Super Paper Mario was hyped AAA in the official thread and it failed to meet up to expectations. That is the very definition of a flop! just accept it like a man and move on.

If you don't like whining about your game flopping then don't hype it before hand. The game flopped- end of story.

It flopped. Remember the stickied thread on floppage? Sheep hyped the game AAA(most of them atleast) and as it scored AA it is concidered a FLOP. Sure this is system wars, and even though SW is immature most of the time, theres a few rules we all follow, and one of them is the floppage rule. Lems got owned with crackdown flopping, cows got owned with motorstorm flopping, now sheep add another title that has officially flopped. Get over it.

How can there be any debate wheter it flopped or not? Countless Wii fanboys have be GUARANTEEING that SPM would get AAA. In fact they have been rubbing our faces in the "fact". Its important that these guys eat a slice of humble pride (and with respect some of them have). THIS is what system wars is all about.

I hyped it AAA, and it missed (only by 0.2 tho).  In my defence I actually think Gamespot hyped it AAA!   They ran 5 previews on the game, and a 4 hour live gameplay marathon!   Surely for Gamespot to have gone to all that effort, they must have thought it was going to be a very impressive game?
