ThoughI do agree games like Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess are great games, the System Wars requirements for flopping is not meeting the expected hype. Twilight Princess was hyped AAA (9.0 or above) on GameSpot, but only scored AA (8.8) on GameSpot. It doesn't matter (according to SW) that it scored AAA on other game sites or even overall on other sites like MetaCritic and GameRankings.

People say PDZ is awesome? Besides 50 Cent Bulletproof sold great, which clearly makes it a great game, right?

dont know if you have noticed but games with minimal hype that scores lower then a 9 gets called a flop these days. and should the scores really matter that much no its how i like the game how much fun i have had on it. why even hype games have no ideal if they are fun or not until peeps have played it themselfs.

system wars is messed up but its about the only active game forums that i know of.

Entirely decided by what the agreed upon hype of SW is. Don't take it so seriously as to "hate" it. It's just a fun game we play that has no bearing on reality.

It pretty much goes all the way back to last gen, when just about any Xbox game that scored below 9.0 was quantified as a flop and snowballed during Super mario sunshine. It is a horse that has bean beaten to death, brought back to life and beaten to death again over and over...

well its just not in forums anymore its in schools i see it in public places like walmart everyone argues over which systems have best graphics and stuff these days really its a stupid thing to argue about.

my cousin hes 13 told his friend that he has a ps3 which he does and the friend actually called him a loser and called him tons of different names they even fought over it. which is the most stupid thing ever it was stupid of both of em.

but i dont like to argue i dont like to put people down for what they like.

so i dont really know why i come in here its not entertaining i dont have a good sense of humor. i guess try to stop the wars but after 3/4 years of coming here and trying to get people to see that its stupid argueing over games and systems and talking crap about companys is completely dumb havent really changed anything.

but even at that im not sure about it all.

Yeah, I hear that... I wish people would pay more attention to the words of reviews. for example... Mario Strikers Charged review, today. 7.5. ZOMG TEH FLOPZ

But what do people look for often in games? great fun multiplayer. last line of MS:C review: "Those looking for a deep and consistently entertaining single-player experience won't necessarily find it here, but anyone out for some good, solid multiplayer fun, either offline or online, would do well to check out Mario Strikers Charged"

now i don't like GS reviews, but this is a statement that, probably 85-90% of wii owners would want to buy this game, and yet here it is MEGA FLAOP.

PDZ is not a horrible game.. I wish people would stop making out it is, it just isn't AAA.. its more like a AA (Also known as GREAT). And its a million seller.. so it did sell fairly well.

A long time ago I tried to argue why even utilize review scores since I'm trusting a total strangers opinion as to whether the game is good or not. I finally realized that Gamefly is the best thing and I more or less just ignore most reviews...

People actually argue about systems in real life?? holy crap. I'm not even kidding. I cant believe friends would actually get in a fight over a freaking video game system. Why not just play the damn thing.

well i was kinda describing where i live what happens in the electronics dept at times and other things but yeah they really got into a fight dont have a reason to make up something that stupid and would be crazy dumb and all kinds of things if someone made up a cousin who got into a fight over a system.

im sure someone out there would do it though lol. but anyways yeah i seen people argue about systems in walmart and stuff and that fight was the only one i have heard of though could be others dont know. but im just saying system wars just isnt in forums its all over the place. its stupid.

Usually, when a game is getting alot of hype, the mods will sticky an "Official------ Hype Thread". People give their predictions, and if GS review isn't equal to or greater than the SW majorities prediction then the game is considered a flop. Does it mean a game is horrble? Of course not. It's simply how battles are measured and fought here in SW. It actually keeps things pretty entertaining here in SW. But it's definately not a purchasing guideline.
