Wow, Heavenly Sword actualy scored a 8.0.

Wow, Heavenly Sword a 8.0 on GS! Atleast the game cannot be called a flop. Take that people who doubted how cool this game would be! I personaly am glad it didnt score lower because of the new Rating Syestem. Gonna pick it up on Wed.

I can now say Heavenly Sword: NOT a flop. (thank god, since Lair flopped pretty badly)

Who wants to tell him?

HS is a flop. Hyped AAA here, got AA.

Still a "great" game, but it is a flop here.

Yup. Barely "great". But a flop nonetheless.

Technically it flopped , but the haters out there thought it would score under an 8 after the reviews started coming in. I see ownage all around except for me , I hyped it an 8.0 in the official thread. I am a diehard sheep btw.

Son, you'll be spending 60$ on a 7 hour long game. Rent it. Don't do it.

With the old scoring system it would probably be 7.8 or 7.9

Not that it didn't flop or anything but seriosuly people need to stop acting like a SW flop = a bad game. Sure it's true that the PS3 continues to have no AAA exclusives but I'll admit that if this game was on the 360 I'd buy it.

Heavnly FLOP :lol: !!!! Just keep racking them up for the cow's cyprus646

[QUOTE="cyprus646"]Heavnly FLOP :lol: !!!! Just keep racking them up for the cow's black_awpN1

The point is not that Heavenly Sword is bad, rather that its AA score - by SW rules - makes it a flop. Fact. End of story.

Iron-Dragon

Won't be the first or the last time I do that. Nothing wrong with spending $60 on 7 hours of fun as long as it is time well spent.

From just reading the pros and cons the reviewer guy seemed to like it a lot......the actual gameplay part seemed to be pretty good....

did the game being short really take away that much points from it??? Damn..I dont even have a problem with short games, considering Gears of War was considered short and it took me 6 months to beat....

I dont know anything about this game though.....never even seen a screenshot or watched a video.....

Wasn't it hyped AAA?

i wouldn't even think of buying it, but its a definate rental. I wonder how well it will sell?

Man, am I the only one who doesn't participate in this dumb SW game? Seriously, this board was so much better years ago before this nonsense became standard :(

Sure, HS didn't live up to its potential, and is unfairly short, but for what it offers and while it lasts, the game seems fun and engaging. I would get it if I owned a PS3.....but yeah, it is a tad disappointing since I was expecting it to be better.

How do you know it wouldn't have gotten a 8.1 or 8.2 instead?

kankthetank

Yup...years ago it was about fun and just joking around about games and stuff.....playful argueing, but everybody just liked playing games in general. so there really wasnt that big a of a deal...

Now it seems to have become a religion for some people...they take games and consoles so seriously its unbelievable......Seeing some of the serious posts on here it makes me question why some people are alive....honestly, does it matter how games score on gamespot? Does it actaully effect you if the Wii has more sales than a 360?? There is more to life than system wars...and games for that matter..

Gears of war had much better replay value and a great co-op/multiplayer mechanic,HS has none of those.

BS look at all the "cows" pull the its not a flop card because I like it!

Dont you dare act like you wouldn't call Halo 3 a flop if it got a 8.5, too bias and it aint fooling me.

By your new standards Viva Pineata and Crackdown haven't flopped!

b b b 8 aint a flop! :( you fanboys its a great game! LMAO

Honestly, you shouldnt use SW logic to decidxe wether a game is bad or not. SW is imainly a place for crazy fanboys to rant and rave about how awesome there console is, like it was a sports team or something. People, listen to me, at least rent this game. A Flop in SW is no way shape or form a reflection of the quality of the game. I mean, Halo 3 could be hyped to AAAA and if it got a AAA, it would be called a flop by SW Logic. black_awpN1

We're not saying HS is bad at all, just that it flopped. You need to learn the difference.

Of course the game is good, but you are on SW, and it didn't live up to SW hype = flop. Hell, they consider MP3 a flop, yet we all know it is an awsome game.

Um, yup. Heavenly Sword flopped according to the rule of System Wars. Sorry. Still a great game though.BioShockOwnz

Let me point out to you all something very clear here : Heavenly Sword isn't the first of its kind to score that decently despite its gameplay length. There are quite a couple of games I can call off the top of my head that were of short duration in gameplay, even on first play-throughs. Nonetheless, they scored impressive marks on GS and other gaming websites because of their other features (whether it be the story, the music, the characters, etc.).

I'm sure many people like me who have fully played to the end Shadow Of The Colossus and ICO would more or less agree to the scores GS has given them (8.7, 8.5, respectively) although I would personally place them somewhere around 8.9 and 9.0. Those games are great projects despite their short duration (SotC takes approx. 10 hours for first-timers) and ICO is even shorter (around 4.5 hours if you're a thinker, lol).

Face it people : not everyone here want games that can last a couple months (Oblivion, FFXII). I have borrowed SotC from a friend and beat it in no less than 10 hours. That didn't stop me from buying my own copy a couple months later, simply because it is too good to put aside from my PS2 collection.

In other words, if a 4-7 hour game like ICO can score a clean 8.5, what would prevent a 7 hour game that was hyped about (solid previews from various gamer websites) from scoring at *the very least *an 8.0?
