None of these titles will flop. The worst any of them will do is maybe get a 7.5 on GS.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Gears of war 3: 9-9,5 ("American"console+ ms money)
Skyward sword: 8,5
Uncharted 3: 8,5 for the lulz and its not on the xbox
After finally playing Uncharteed 2 a couple of months ago, I have no clue... That sub par game managed to gain a 96 critics average... It was the final nail in the coffin for me in regards to "professional" game critics. It feels like main stream gaming has transformed for the worst and the masses have gone with the trend. I'm stuck in the now ancient seeming notion that Gameplay is far more important than cinematic appeal.
There's no chance GS will give MW3 anything below 9. They should, but they won't.Out of those Skyward Sword, also i think MW3 will flop.

I don't see any of those games getting less than an 8.0 and if you consider that a flop you might want to consider lowering your standards a little.

True dat. That luxury vacation and free swag they gave to Black Ops reviewers totally earned the game a 9 :)
Really sad when a giant company has to pay off reviewers because their game isn't worth a decent score.
Gears of War 3 is coming out in September so I'm not quite sure how it factors into "holiday"
Skyrim has been critically lauded with E3 awards
Uncharted 3 was critically lauded with E3 awards and the multiplayer on the show floor was getting great reception, and after having played it I can say that its indeed up there with Gears, Halo, etc. in terms of originiality and the various game modes
Skyward Sword is the sequel to a game that scored 8.5's in MANY places, so it could very well get that score again, but that still wouldn't be a flop IMO
You're missing actual games being released in the holiday:
-Assassin's Creed Revelations
-Saints Row 3
-Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
-Halo Combat Anniversary
-Silent Hill Downpour
-Resident Evil Operation Racoon City
I think it also might have a chance at bombing in sales (in America at least).Zelda fans would go bats*** insane if SS flopped.

Skyward Sword will probably flop.Badosh
Lol probably will with the way Gamespot's been. That won't stop me from buying it and enjoying the crap out of it.
[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]why do you think gears might flop? the beta was perfect. no glitch or lag. dedicated servers. and just pure improvements from the last 2 gears... The beta didn't use dedicated servers.. Epic even said it themselves and yet people seem to think they did.After playing the betas for Gear s3 and Uncharted 3, I wouldn't be surprised if they both flop.

Skyward Sword = 7.5 Quote me on that.nethernova
I think Skyward Sword will be the second highest of the four if not the highest.
I don't get why people think Uncharted 3 will flop.
Aah,the localisation thing.That is bad news.[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

Since many people are saying they are no longer supporting Nintendo products because of that. I have a pretty good (as in bad) feeling it will, alongside Nintendo's other popular IPs (Mario, Pokemon, etc).I'm still getting all those games I can't survive a whole gen without new Nintendo games. I almost missed out of the GCN I last only 3 years and then purchased a GCN because I couldn't live without a new Nintendo console. Neither can I, but due to how bad that reaction was, I have a good feeling Nintendo is in trouble (a lot more than they need to be) in the US after that, and this puts their future in EVERYTHING they do in danger.[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

But do you think it will stop them from buying the newest Zelda game? I mean,it's Zelda.Nintendo_Ownes7
Uncharted 3 will........."flop" ..."FLOP" ....flop from what? A 2-week trial of an alpha stage Beta???? :lol: I've heard GT5 wont sell many copies, Battlefield 3 will kill CoD (sales wise), CoD on PS3 willl outsell the 3DS.........but Uncharted 3 will "flop" ? Oh Im sooo bookmarking this thread :lol: :P tonitorsi
I know. First of all, the beta is a lot of fun with many improvements. I am not going to say its perfect, but guess what? That's what a BETA is for. As IGN pointed out in their hands on with it, it is not a "beta" that is actually a demo, which happens for most games lately. This really is an early beta so they can test it and alter things. Things will be ironed out, tons of features will be added, and the SP will be amazing. The game wont get anything less than a 9.0.
wow i dunno how people can think skyrim will flopTH1Sx1SxSPARTAIt's a Bethesda game. So yeah, the only way it can flop, which is in fact surprisingly likely, is a tonne of bugs.

I think the art style might fool them into thinking Nintendo did something different with the game.I am gonna go with Skyward Sword, GS has a tradition of flopping Zelda games.SolletJust TWILIGHT PRINCESS and spirit tracks tho.
[QUOTE="Sollet"]I am gonna go with Skyward Sword, GS has a tradition of flopping Zelda games.Bread_or_DecideJust TWILIGHT PRINCESS and spirit tracks tho. Even Spirit Tracks wasn't a flop, it was hyped AA and that was what it got. Twilight Princess is the ONLY Zelda game that flopped at GS.

Even Spirit Tracks wasn't a flop, it was hyped AA and that was what it got. Twilight Princess is the ONLY Zelda game that flopped at GS.Majora's Mask got an 8.3 at GS so that could've been considered a flop it was released just after OoT which got a 10 here.

And Ocarina 3DS and Majora if you wanna go back that far! And Majora's mask went on to be considered one of the best in the franchise. Really goes to show you how little GS's reviews mean outside of the metagame.
