This game has been more heavily advertised than Halo 3 :lol: I can't watch a tv program without seeing 2 commercials for it every time there's a commercial break. Somebody needs to tell Sony that it's just not that good lol.

Can you tell me where these commercials are cuz i haven't seen one at all. In fact pretty much every videogame commercial i see is for either Halo 3, Eternal Sonata, or PGR4.

Waits for cows to lumber in mooing about how its really a great game and Gears of War was shorter...

They do play the commercial a lot but it seems to be on certain stations.

jedigemini

wait . . did you just say that it was more advertised than halo 3?? lol. well, hey, at least HS wasn't advertised on mountain dew bottles . . . and also, it's an excellent game, but of course, being the fanboy that you are, just assume that it's not good

If they made it longer then it would be infested with repetitive gameplay and the boringness of the game would start kicking in.

Not if they spend more money on advertising than they make in game sales, which looks to be the case...

then it's just stupidity.

...I've seen the HS ad a few times on TV. I've had the Halo 3 ads shoved down my throat. And Heavenly Sword is actually really good, don't badmouth a game unless you've played it

Well, it's selling better than Warhawk, and much better than Eternal Sonata. So I guess it's working.

You just killed your own post when you mentioned Halo 3.

Did you fall asleep during that entire fiasco, or what?

BELIEEEEVE! BELIEEEEVE! Ready? GO!

Mountain Dew, controllers, action figures, diaramas, commercials, viral marketing, websites, special-edition consoles....what, did I miss anything?

Besides 1 CGI ad that I see on average of once a day and some crappy flash banners on random websites, what other advertising are you talking about? I doubt they've spent more money on advertising than they made off of sales. :|

Grasping for straws? Seriously, stop making topics.

And your defintion of desperation is what the business world calls... well, business. :|

Lemmings get possibly the JRPG of the year (eternal sonata), and HS is outselling it over 2:1.

I agree with the TC it is kind of sad, but the game sucked to me. It was the redheaded step child of God Of War and thats not a good thing. I bet it in one day and took it back and got Halo 3 Legendary editon.

Heavenly Sword sold so badly, I'm sure Sony aren't even CLOSE to breaking even.

Another $$$$$$ black hole for Sony.

It's a very solid game that deserves good sales. It could've been a bit longer, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Definitely one of the better games on the PS3 and I don't see what's so wrong with a company trying to get extra sales for their game.

For a game in development for 5 years it deserves nothing.

It was really good, but it couldn't have lasted longer then 6 hours. I wasn't in love with the ending either. Why end a promising franchise, with such a short tale.

First off, HS IS a great game. Its just short.

Second, Halo 3 can have mountain dew "gamer fuel" and they're not desperate. But when HS has a lot of ads running its desperation?

Get a clue.

I see HS ads all the time, hell, I see them more then Halo. It's ok for MS to spend about $10 million on advertising for Halo 3, but god forbid a PS3 game gets any ad time on TV :roll:

thats pretty funny. Maybe its the tv programs I watch or lack of them or maybe where I live, but I have seen more HS ads than Halo 3 ads. I migght be the exception though, I don't watch much tv and what i do i tend to dvr and skip through most commercials.

I just bought Heavenly Sword at my local gas station/convenient store andI bought some weird tasting soft drink with Nariko on it. They are supposed to have a blueberry flavored Kai drink but I can't find it.
