because obviously they wont play it for NEARLY long enough before writing the review. The SSBB game that the reviewers play in a week for the review will be a totally different one from the game played by gamers in the next 1-2 years. Im talking metagame + adv techs included.

Then they'll proably say its more of the same, and if the sp sucks (which it probably will) they'll hit it for that too because it is actually trying to have a good sp (and probably wont), then they might even say it doesnt use waggle.

After giving SMG goty and NMH AAA, gs can do no wrong right? what happens when SSBB flops? its going to MP3.

ROFL that's true.

and honestly i wouldn't care personally, GS's credibility has been on the line for quite sometime really.

Lol. Both are great games but have NOWHERE near the replayability of SSB.

that was different, MP3 didn't cause any damage control, just disappointment because anyone who played the game knew it deserved better.

TP though was a hit in the face, till this day i don't know what went on in jeff's head.

so this time, we're actually expecting it.

Well most people will be playing it and wont care about the score until they return to GS and see the score then criticise GS. For those people who didnt get the game, Eg myself, we will be surprised at the flop, and if we're lucky there will be some suicide threads. I wont partake in any mass sheep suicides but i will have a good time watching them unfold. Besides whats the official hype for it anyway? Isnt it just AA?

im glad i bought handful of pitchforks and tourches at walmart. im going to be rich selling them to the sheep in gs if gs flops ssbb. if not i will just sell it to the cows later when one of their first/second part games end up flopping. win-win situation for me. its all about the money.

Hype = AA,

So I think it's fairly unlikely to flop.

Even so, SSBB will still do fine at GR (where it really matters), and sales will be brisk. As usual, the GS review won't mean much outside the confines of this forum.

Well, here's the thing:

1. It won't flop. Gamespot reviewers seem to really like games that have a variety of features, and SSBB certainly has that. I've lost count of the different modes and such they have available so far.

2. If it did flop, no one would care... or at least not as much as we would have before. I can't believe I'm saying it, but after the whole Jeff fiasco Gamespot really has lost part of its credibility.

3. All of the "tough" reviewers are pretty much gone from the Gamespot staff, so it's unlikely that it will flop.

It would have to be 7.0-7.5 to flop here, I really don't see that happening.

I'm going to enjoy the game for years on end without giving any credence to GS's score.

The game is hyped AA anyway. I doubt it will get a 7.5, and even if it does, I really won't care. I won't agree (most likely), but I won't complain.

Well SSBM, fantastic in my book, got a AA. Also with some harsh reviewing going on it makes sense. I think It will be AAA but if it did manage to be AA I wouldn't be to surprised. (R&C)

I think Brawl is only hyped AA anyway. I doubt it'll score below a 7.5, honestly.

AAA all the way. Melee got 8.9. Brawl has more everything, plus online, plus a proper single player mode. I've never been sure of GS scores before. But I'm sure for this one. 9.0 or higher. Of course if I'm wrong feel free to mock.

Well for a fighting game SSB has great single player with all the challenges and adventure modes. Also this game has been hyped AA for ever based on the series but it looks like it may be edging around 9.0.

Same exact thing from cows over Uncharted and Ratchet. And anyway I hype it AAA. Hype threads always have random a$$holes going "B" in them.

Everyone says some official hype is "AA" but that's bull. We know deep down they hype it AAA, and when that game gets it they'll all explode and pretend to act surprise or just continue this metagame spree at SW and claim "Ownage." Don't lie sheep, you know you hype this to be AAA regardless.

Frankly, I don't think it will NOT score AAA here, but should it fail to obtain that status here at GS. I will turn no head, and instead patiently wait for the day I can play the game. (Assuming the review comes out before the game.)

Maybe because this is SW, and as much as we pretend, review scores are vital to this forum, because without them, there wouldnt be very much to "war" about?

Sheep are just scared to hype anything. Be it "the bias" or "GS doesn't like SSB because SSBM got teh 8.9." :| I wish I knew. You mean to tell me, the most hyped game out for Wii is only expecting AA status? Bull! Sheep know as well as I do, they are hyping this game to be AAA secretly. They just can't man up to some "ownage" on the forums that would happen should the game not reach a shiny 9.0+ score. Well frankly, it's idiotic if you ask me. Melee got 8.9, if this review standard was the same back then, it no doubt would have been pushed into the 9.0 mark. Regardless, I can't buy it. SMG gets GOTY and a 9.5. NMH recieved a 9.0 and you still don't think SSBB can recieve 9.0 or higher cause you are afraid of what? :|

I think main reason why they're afraid to hype it is because most likely GS will pull the "more of the same" card.....although that never applied to halo 3. >_>

the reason i'm not expecting SSBB to get AAA here is for two reasons.

1. GS is very unexpected lately, not to say they are biased against anything, but their scores really surprise me every now and then, i don't want that to happen with SSBB.

2. read the preview, it's not AAA positive.
