[QUOTE="360reachwake"][QUOTE="SolidTy"]
Xalaten (poster quoted above) isn't talking about this poll...since it was created after scores were released.
I don't really care too much, I posted on the sixth page of this thread, and I never came till tonight since there was nothing else to do in SW.:(
:P
Before there were any scores to affect the hype, it was AA hyped game.
Then, some crafty guys got the idea to create Hype Threads AFTER reviews came pouring in from other sources, creating this fun yet broken scenario.
This thread went a step further by monitoring AAA early metacritic reviews right in the thread title. When posters came in it was easy to vote AAA since Early Metacritic had the game at AAA, as it was in the thread title and OP. That's not how Hype works though, you don't use scores from other sites to get Hype higher.
So what happened is that people saw early high Meta scores, they came in and voted as if that's how this works, and essentially this entire thread and any thread after reviews were manipulating the hype of Heavy Rain (which if you look at Quantic Dream's history, it's kind of funny).
That was Xala's main point and going by Old School SW, he is right. The new kids are just looking for some easy ownage on Heavy Rain...which is an artsy fartsy game to begin with. It's funny to me, but this thread was broken from the get go, but that's how it went down.

it was a flop, i mean please enough with this, this game was touted for about 4 years and everyone talked about the graphics and then we found out it was a qte FEST. Game is a flop dont care what cows are trying to get at, they will have less AAA's than the 360 in 2010 that is for sure.Feb. 17th, 2010. :o
That's when you joined Gamespot.:shock:
Glad you came here to let us all know how SW works and what a exactly constitutes as a flop as I can see you've been one of the community making these decisions with us for oh so long. ;)
You are right about the QTE stuff, it's certainly not going to win everyone over, but if anyone knows who Quantic Dreams is, they shouldn't be too surprised.
Seriously, it's SW, there is no threads on page one, so this is the only interesting thread right now. Eh. Something to chat about, right mate? :P
*shrugs*
Welcome to Gamespot and System Wars by the way, hope you enjoy your stay.:P
You may be right about AAA's and the 360, it looks that way, but E3 will certainly give us all a clearer picture for the year.:)
Have a good one, mate! :P
yeah its definitely a flop IMHO. I thought AAA for sure as i even voted for it.
