System Wars: Serious business.
Does trolling and "ownage" matter that much to you? Lol. Just scores and opinions. Some people like to have fun with it but its nothing to be bothered about, Some games get great scores opposed to amazing scores, no big deal. No need to start a damage control plan.
excuse my ignorance, but is there any benefit for hyping a game AAA? if there isn't any then i see your point.
i could care less about the score. as long as i get alot of great games for my pstrey.SunnySAY87
*couldn't
but yeah I agree with you, idc ab out scores, all I care about is a good game no matter what system it's on.
Wow, nice lack of confidence in your upcoming exclusives, cows. So is Uncharted 3 going to be hyped AA by you guys from some "fear" that GS will "rob" it of AAA because they're "biased"? Look, GS has reviewed 2 PS3 exclusives so far this year. One gets AAA, the other barely misses it, but still gets a great score. No one whines when GS or any other site gives a PS3 exclusive AAA or higher, but oh wow, when the 8.0s and 8.5s start popping up, it's nothing but "they're biased!", "double standards!", etc. See GT5 as another recent example. You guys ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, these games that aren't receiving AAA across the board just truly don't deserve it in most people's opinion?
Nah, of course you haven't. All you guys want to do is scream "biased!" every time a hyped game doesn't get its desired score.
I don't understand why anyone wouldn't hype resistanec 3, infamous 2, or uncharted 3 AAA. I don't understand why and I will not get why some people don't like games that look incredible.

People are just scared of the ownage from System Wars. Seriously, getting involved in the hype is hella fun. Then if the game sucks, it makes you want to rage...
I've said this before, it wouldn't be fair for Gamespot to fairly give some of these PS3 exclusives AAA, that they deserved, MAINLY when compared to other 360 AAA scored games here at Gamespot.
the PS3 has TOOOO many Big Budget Exclusives this year...and Microsoft doesn't have that many, if at all. So if GS gave some of these PS3 games AAA scores, well lets just say it would take a long time for the list of AAA games from both systems to balance out. Couldn't have that, system wars wouldn't be fun anymore.
I mean, don't yall wonder why MLB The Show 10 got 8.0, after System War Gods finally allowed it to be considered an exclusive? MLB 09 got AAA here at Gamespot and MLB 10 was much better with more features. But for some reason, it dropped points just enough for it to not be AAA. What makes it more obvious is MLB 2k10, which was really bad and had lots of bugs got a 7.5 here at Gamespot.
MLB The Show 10 - 8.0
MLB 2K10 - 7.5
you mean to tell me these two games are just a .5 difference apart???? Anyone who has played these two, or heck just tried out the demos would know something is not right with those scores.
MLB The Show has been the TOP Sports game for years now...and in the last few years NBA 2k series has climbed back up there again and joined them...as well as the NHL Series. MLB 2k series is no where near those 3 games.
at first I start this post as a joke, but as I went on I remembered there are some real inconsistent reviews given out by Gamespot. But hey, these are all just opinions right. Everyone can have/hide behind their "opinions". And no no, this doesn't just have to do with Sony. I still remember that day when I saw that Zelda Score :shock: I will never forget that day.
OH noez we dont want people callin our geamz flopzors so lets take our ball and go home.
:(

Hyping AAE for a very high profile game is just playing it safe: Not fun :P
I like playing it safe lol. Hermits show the way, hyping a GS AA series (total war) new addition AAA! SW isn't fun when everyone plays safe.[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="TheGuardian03"] I like playing it safe lol.TheGuardian03Hermits show the way, hyping a GS AA series (total war) new addition AAA! SW isn't fun when everyone plays safe. Fine then i'll vote AAAAE for Infamous 2 just for the lulz :twisted:. Good stuff :P
Haha "Lets hype games lower then what the hype really is, so when it flops we dont have to deal with it!" lawls
Why doesnt everyone just hype every game AA so they dont flop?
Don't let GT5 and KZ3 scare you.
GT5 isn't a finished game. It deserved a AAE score.
KZ3... well, I haven't played it, but it is true that a story can ruin a game, especially if the game is really pushing for an awesome story.
I was massively disappointed to hear KZ3's story is awful, that story trailer really got me pumped for the game.
A high profile game is a high profile game. Almost all you listed are already expected to go above and beyond... there's no need to downplay them.
The Last Guardian will be interesting. SoTC didn't even get a AAA score here, and it is generally viewed as one of the best games ever made. Still a flop in SW though!
Cough HALO 3 ODST a 9 but KZ3 a 8.5 BS COUGH:HelghastXtremeODST got AA on Metacritic. So that doesn't help your case that all sites are biased against PS3.
Lol.
Damage control is the funniez!
Did you ever think the games were rated accurately, and that scores werent inflated to suit SW resident's opinions?

No rating is accurate and represents the opinion of every gamer in the world, every rating is an opinion of the reviewer, games are rated accurately when you yourself play the game. Perfect example, Final Fantasy XIII got an 8.5, i would have given it a 9....Final Fantasy IX got an 8.5 10 years ago, I would have given it a 10. An accurate score is how you find the game, not the reviewer, thats just a general opinion on how they find the game, not you
if the aim here was to make me feel sorry for you it worked.
poor widdle guys, always gettin picked on by the mean ol' professional reviewers.
you are victims of an international conspiracy is what it is! if it will make you feel any better i can sign whatever current petition you have going.
MLB The Show 11 - 8.0 Socom 4 - 7.5 R3 - 8.5 Infamous 2 - 8.5 UC3 - 9.0 I'm a realist :)W1NGMAN-
R3 same as KZ3... no way, man. KZ3 should be higher.
Oh wait, maybe Kevin V won't review it :P
Dont worry, we will know they are truely AAAE titles but for the sake of "system wars ownage" just please hype them AAE.HelghastXtremeNo. I mean, the games you listed are just a massive amount of fun, but the whole System Wars metagame is about putting yourself out there for humiliation if you're wrong. Sure, there's an element of chance to it, but man up and enjoy the risk or don't play. Aside from taking a little crap, the consequences aren't long-term. You still get great games either way.
