TLOU - 3.4 million the first 3 weeks. Pikmin 3 is going to be lucky just to break the 1 million mark. But as far as gamespot goes yeah they scored the same reviewed by Tom Mcshea who is on a quest to review games harder.

Don't care what GS rated the game.

What I do care about is how boring the gameplay looks and how laughably off the mark early bullshots are.

Here's what I think of Gamespots reviews

inFAMOUS 2

-Gamespot: 7.5

-Me: the best PS3 exclusive of last generation and one of the best PS3 games in general.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

-Gamespot: 7.5

-me: the best Wii exclusive of the last generation and one of the best games of the last generation in general.

Pikmin 3

-Gamespot: 8.0

-me: I don't own it yet, but based on what I know, there is a pretty good likelihood that it'll end up in the running for best game of next gen. We'll have to wait and see though.

In the end it doesn't matter what they think. If I avoided games because Gamespot reviewed them "low" I'd be missing out on some of my favourite games.

2. System Wars is really needs to rethink the definition of a flop.  inFamous, TLOU, and now Pikmin are in no way flops just because of a single number given to them by some guy many of you will never meet.

They are flops in the GS metagame, no way around that but that doesn't mean that they aren't overall critically acclaimed. Fanboys will mix up the 2.

Pikmin 3 didn't flop tho.

As far as impact/reaction goes Twilight Princess is still easily the biggest flop.

As far as just being far off meeting hype score, Pikmin 3 certainly does not win the "biggest flop in history" there, seeing as how it actuallt met hype,

Oh really? And what sort of fanboy would I be if I followed the meta? Every platform has had a major flop this generation according to the rules of the meta.

Lets face it the "meta game" is used to talk smack to the opposite fanboy faction, nothing more. The meta game is irrelevant cause if we only go by GS scores then we should only go by video game news, updates, information ect ect ect that's on GS only and not from other sites. But you know what we don't do that cause we let that slide cause this place would be hella boring.

The meta game utilizes scores as a way of measuring how accurate hype was. You'll notice a game is only a "flop" on System Wars if it scores below what hype threads predicted it would. GS scores are not necessarily an accurate indicator of a game's quality and people who use the term "flop" to imply a game is shitty and not worth playing are using the meta incorrectly.

 

So yeah, Pikmin 3 and TLOU are both flops on System Wars because on GS they scored below what was predicted. That's it.

Not much of a flop, but I don't think it will be a system seller either.

Nobody ever really thought Pikmin would be a AAA game.

It's just another decent, unique game to mess around with.

But it's not anything that will blow people's minds.

I hyped it AAA since the other ones scored 8.9 and 9.1, but I'm not surprised it got AA. :P
