This IS a flop, right?

This is a minor flop considering how much this game was hyped.RedruM_I

No. Just no. Cows, don't try and make this look like a flop, because it met it's AA hype.

I'm taking a break from playing Shadow Complex and 2 hours just flew by so fast having fun. The best $15 I've spent on a game. I unlocked a gamer picture and I think you'll unlock Avatar awards too not sure. The critics weren't lying about this game being a must buy and one of the best games this year.

Iv been playing this all night Its really really good !!!scottiescott238

Yeah, i cant stop playing it! Im level 14 right now and its getting better and better :D

played the demo i didnt like it much

Yeah, the demo wasn't very good. Do you think it's because they released it on XBL too early? I think the demo would have been much better if it had been more polished.

I was sold when the review said "super metroid of the new generation"

EazyD91

Still better then Uncharted it got only an 8. ;)

Fat Princess was hyped AAA and only got a 7.5 so I guess that is a bigger flop. Get it bigger flop! :D

It's a good score, I was expecting higher though.

Still, I'm gonna buy it soon.

Please read the text, fellas. Sorry, it just annoys me to hell and back when people only look at the score (a damn fine score, I might add). Like crying about a "great" title isn't already bad enough, but when they say it's basically the "Super Metroid of this generation", and yet some still want to try to downplay it. Come on. Let's get real for just one moment, my friends. Also, official hype was recorded at AA, so those saying "flop" have no grounds to walk on and say such, as it's 100% false and misleading. It met its hype. Just because Fat Princess didn't do so well and flopped, let's not make things up in an attempt to diminish those that succeed, like Shadow Complex.

I never understood the hype for the PSN game, at all.

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Bioshockownz had a hype thread about it, it counted up to AA, so no.PS3_3DO

[QUOTE="PS3_3DO"]

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"] .....but seriously I find it awfully amusing that people hate on a game like this. Seriously. Its 15 bucks and it ruins games that cost much much more. I am loving this wake up call to $60 game devs. Make it fun. Make it look good. Make some money! TY Braid.KingTuttle

Haha, I've actually been busy at work, so no Gamespot posting.

And I was glued to Shadow Complex for the last couple hours. :P

And I agree with ya on Fat Princess. I don't get that game. It's not even a good team-based game, as only a minority use headsets on PSN. Blah!

Can someone please explain to me what the big deal is? So its the same exact system for 100 less.... Its basically the same thing as a price drop. You dont get anything else in the box. Plus all you guys freakin out about it already own PS3's, thats the saddest part about it lol.

On topic: shadow complex is awesome and im only 3 hours in!

Shadow Complex is an AAAE because Metacritic says so. They round up all the reviews, gamespot is just one site.

Sweet just as I called it. Good score though i'm still not interested.

I'm still on my first play through, trying to collect everything and getting 100%, I'm at 85% and I spent a good 6 hours of playing already. The only item I've fully collected are the pass keys, which unlocks the gates to the helmet and it unlocked another gamer picture when you get all the parts to your super suit. This game is really good.

Best game I have played in a while... a long while. Its Super Metroid reborn... and honestly, its better. Much better.
