But, I tend to look at the averages here folks. And many across the web (critics and gamers alike) dont seem to think of this game as a flop. And since when was 8.5 anything to be ashamed of? I'm still playing Persona 3 (rated 8.5) on my PS2.

Look at the averages for moment, and then ask yourself; is Mass Effect truly and unquestionably a flop?

It's not a bad game. It's just a flop. A huge flop, but still...nothing is going to change that.

Those averages don't matter on System Wars, why even bring them up? We know they exist. It's a flop. A MASSive FLOP.

It's a flop in GSbut in the real world, it's not. However, it's ownage considering the amount of hype thrown at Mass Effect. It's still a great, underrated game but in System Wars, it's a flop.

I'm playings tons of flops and enjoy themmore than some of the AAA games here.

There's nothing for me to get over concerning this game, unlike Uncharted's GS review which I'm disappointed about. Also, I havent even played the game nor do I have a next-gen console. AND I plan on getting a PS3 still. But Mass Effect still isnt a flop.

lol,

I totally agree, I never understand why people hype the crap out of these games like they're the second coming of Jesus. Then they get upset when GS doesn't pull the kneee pads out for all the games that get hyped in the SW forums. If you don't hype it as a 10, then you aren't dissapointed when it gets a 8 or a 9, both of which are great scores.

You are in the realm of System Wars. The score of 8.5 says, "No, you're in denial. Mass Effect is indeed a flop."

I dont really follow the hype much. I like to speculate on my own through an upcoming game's articles and preview vids.

To defend your statement you should have pointed out the "Review" window scores for Mass Effect

GS: 8.5

Critic Score: 9.3

Users Score: 9.1

That is why I always look at the "Critic Score" First. After all, the Average Score is more important than a single one, wich may be biased.

It's because there's a lot of people here to talk to and share your opinions with. You dont want to be at some barren wasteland of a messageboard with only 3 people, do you?

i was just playing it for a few hours and it deserves what it got on gamespot if not less. although i love this game to death there are way too many minor issues in order for it to be AAA.

Well, good for you. It's still a flop though, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that.

GS scored several great games lower than expected, and judging by some of the reviewers, they really weren't given a chance to score higher as the reviewer couldn't seem to get passed the first couple levels on the easiest difficulty. I only go by user score as of now, due to GS' lack of review competence.

Well, aside from the endless verbal abuse and trash talk you throw at the PS3 and it's owners, you completely neglect to acknowledge the PS3's unique hardware and the potential it brings (even though the devs have been doing a less than admirable job of utilizing it until now).

Again.....this is the same situation that arises when any game flops (LoZ, R&C, MP3......and so on).

On this site, it has flopped. And that's all that matters here. Not Gamerankings. Not Metacritic. Gamespot.
