Eh, you've got a point. Sheep are just trying to play it on the safe side.sexy_chimp

Well, I suppose you really can't blame them. After all, TP and Corruption got wacky scores here (should've been AAA, both, in my book but whatever, it hardly matters.)

Sheep don't really expect the game to be AA-caliber, they is expect it to be a AAA-caliber game (because it just looks that good, it looks like a AAA game should look pre-release) and superior to Melee in every way. if they didn't it wouldn't be the second most talked about (next to Galaxy) Wii game on this forum. I understand that it's being hyped AA to "play it safe" because of past experiences with huge games (Corruption and TP,) but really, what's the point in that? Why hype anything AAA then, if everyone if so concerned with "playing it safe?"

Also, like I said, the automatic AAA hype for Galaxy (and in my opinion is deserves the AAA hype, don't get me wrong) when the original Mario platforming franchise has more recently had an odd GS rating (compare Sunshine hereto Sunshine GR, and then Melee here and Melee GR) compared to how the Super Smash franchise gets reviewed here..... it just doesn't make any sense that Galaxy gets the automatic AAA hype but the other most highly hyped Wii titles gets AA without question. You almost think people would be more reluctant to hype Galaxy AAA then Brawl based on GS's recent history, especially seeing as Brawl has more development time and full online multiplayer (and that is a huge deal for Nintendo and a game like this.)

Just.... doesn't make any sense to me.

Prime has nothing to do with Brawl, I don't think most people realize this. Corruption getting an unlikely AA doesn't make Brawl any more likely to get AA then WarioWare getting an unlikely AAA makes it likely for Brawl to get AAA. The games are completely unrelated.

So, should MGS4 get low, low AA hype here too?

After all, Metal Gear Solid got an 85 here (93 on GR) and MGS3 got an 87 here (92 on GR.)

No, of course not. Giving the most hyped game on a system and hype it AA makes no sense, plain and simple.

Brawl is the second most hyped Wii game here right now, and the most hyped game of the entire '08 year. AA hype? Please.

Gamespot judge games by their respective systems and genre since there isn't basically no game like brawl OR prime.

they are judged by their past franchise games (read prime review you'll see prime got campared to it's previous installment) and other wii games.

anyway i'm not in the mood to discuss today also this isn't thet thread to do it.

Like I've said before, part of me really wants to hype it AAA because it has added so much over its predecessor, but the other part of me knows that nothing is guaranteed on GS.

IMO, Brawl has added more over it's predecessor than any game I can think of at the moment. And even though the game will have some minor flaws (no game is perfect), I feel that the positives will far outweight those negatives. One thing though that worries me is that GS will probably nitpick at those minor flaws and make them seem significantly bigger than they are, in turn, bringing the flop hammer down by punishing the game more than they should. And even though the game uses multiple control s_tyle, GS is sure to take off pts since the gamecube controller is most likely the best. And lets not forget the fact that Super Smash Bros. received a 7.5 and Melee received an 8.9, so you can see the series has never been AAA on GS.

IMO, SSBB is definitely AAA material whether GS gives it that score or not. I guess my final hype will be AAA.

It's a joke that this is only at AA hype. The biggest game, by far, for the Wii next year only at AA? Look the immense amount of content Nintendo is fitting into this game.

Should be AAA, easily.

This is hyped AA because that's what GS will give it! Even if in the eyes of anyone who's following the Dojo site that it's probably going to be AAA-AAAA.
