Why does everyone forget Sony's other AAA this month?

------------------------

It's one of Sony's most critically claimed 1st party titles AND the only AAA baseball game franchise on the market. If you want to play a good baseball game, you're gonna need a PS4, broski. Will you be getting this SWers? I'll most likely get it a little more into the season. Game comes out March 31st for PS4, PS3, and Vita. Also, if you preorder the ps4 version, you get an exclusive skin for your controller with your choice of MLB team.

no thanks, i still got mlb the show from a few years ago and if this version is anything like last years ps4's version then im not missing anything except uglier hair.

Lol baseball

Yeah, sports games and SW don't typically mix.

Personally, aside from some NBA Live like 10 years ago, the only sports games I ever liked were the completely unrealistic ones.

uhhhh.....

Haha

@ConanTheStoner: so you're more of a nerd type?

Yes, because when a person prefers one type of game over another, that's the only possible conclusion to arrive at.

Really, I just find most sports games to be boring. Even the ones I did enjoy are just too iterative. Of course it's the nature of the genre, but I get burned out on any franchise with annual releases.

Madden, Fifa and NBA Live. Two years of each was more than I ever needed to play.

The last time MLB was AAA was six years ago, in 2009.

To presume this year will suddenly be a break from the norm is presumptuous and more than slightly amusing.

In other words, it is so you.

Stunningly boring game, baseball. Pass.

^^ Did anyone else just see that ownage?

TC getting owned in his own threads seems rather standard

@ConanTheStoner said:

to be fair, TC doesn't seem to understand hype/flops around here so perhaps he just didn't know what AAA means :P

Please. Your title wording made it clear what you were going for. If you meant major release, you would have said 'major release,' or 'big release' or something like that. In System Wars, AAA only denotes one thing, something you are pretty aware of.

right..as if that's what you were talking about when you posted that title.

Because nobody talks about sports games period here. Great for Sony, Cows, the PS eco system as some twit on IGN called it. But nobody makes NHL, NBA, or Madden threads all that often either.

Not really interested in the minor upgrades. I will stick with 14, especially since 15 on Vita is basically the same fucking game as 14, which is the same game as 13.

I will get OOTP 16 instead.

how does that make him a nerd?

And I don't think you should really be trying to call people out as nerds

ITT: Tc doesn't know what exclusive or AAA means. rofl

So just the same as always, then?

Well, you might not have a choice- Sony is ending online support and killing the servers for MLB 14 entirely in June. Just a year after the game released. To push this year's game.

#4TheGamers indeed.

TC getting his face smacked around another thread of his own. Classic.

I've never played a MLB game, if I had a Ps4 I'd buy this.

@charizard1605: Like that ever matters. Vita version don't even have online multiplayer.

Unless you are willing to fap on home run derby online like whom-I-shan't-name-here.

1. It's not AAA (albeit a great game)

2. It's not exclusive.

..next question.

Seriously?

Baseball? Thats like the boring version of cricket!

True story. Only HR derby is playable online.

^

LOL VITA

The only sport you can participate in while asleep, baseball!

There's a reason why Sony is the only one with a MLB franchise. No one else wants it.

Meh at Baseball games and lol TC gets owned again.

2K had theirs, they canned it because they wanted to focus on their NBA monopoly.

Wondering what universe we are in where sports games are considered AAA.

lmao wow

I am drunk.........but that shit made my roommate laugh too.

@ConanTheStoner said:

Lmfao..dat backpedaling. TC got REKT by @charizard1605!

Nuff Said.

Probably for the same reason most people would forget a cricket game that scored AAA. Not everyone is into baseball and certainly not outside of America.

I have no idea how baseball works, LOL =P

We are supposed to be excited for this? It is a yearly release, we are not missing much even if we pick up a copy of MLB The Show 2012 for much less cheaper.

Umm.... Maybe because it's a sport title. Personally I hate sports in real life, and I hate sports in video games. I find them exceptionally boring. If you like it then power too you, there's one more game you like. But personally, I'm awaiting more Fantasy type games, that aren't based off of real life things that I suck at or take no interest in. Witcher 3 is my most exiting game release, because it has nothing to do with our crappy world, has a world I wish to explore. But don't take it to heart, sports games are never the most wanted on many lists. You have to like sports in order to be excited for it. Most gamers, don't care about sports (aside from the ones who just play sports but then have no idea what Bioshock, DMC, Witcher, Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Tales of series, Baulders Gate and so forth.

So basically, Bloodborne is the only PS4 exclusive until this fall/winter (i'm sure they will announce something to cover Uncharted 4's vacancy this fall/winter.

But excuse me while I anticipate the Witcher 3, Final Fantasy 15, Zelda Wii-U, Metal Gear Solid 5, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, Star Fox Wii-u and many others.

PS. I hate it when people I know invite me for a sports night, I usually find some excuse not to go because I don't want to be the only one on the couch playing a 3ds or vita, If its my good friends then I go for the free food and then continue on with my handheld gaming and I only do that because they know me. I HATE SPORTS of all types, so don't take it personally.

NBA Street was brilliant. I find actual sports games boring.

Good god that shit pisses me off so much.

Damn, you've self owned yourself again

To answer the question: because of desperate fanboys like you.

And nobody outside US cares about baseball, arguably. Even most rabid PS4 fanboys.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's hard to decide if Golf or Baseball is the king of boring.

Well, sports games don't normally draw a lot of attention. This is because you can't fire a weapon in them.
