You don't get it do you? The masses will take whatever you feed them as fact. Look at haze. Before it came out lots of people hyped it up. One review for it was bad and then everyone hated it without even playing it.

Look at halo, microsoft and a few pin heads were like "zomg this is the best game, evaR!" People decided to get it. Wasted their money and convinced themselves that it was amazing and clearly the best game ever.

People are sheep. My friend pre ordered killzone 2, was waiting for it so greatly. One of her friends said the demo sucked, so she canceled her preorder.

If someone in power tells you what is good or what isn't, then you will believe them.

I shall call this the halo effect from now on. :]

 

I think it is YOU that don't get it. I got Halo:CE a full 3 years after it came out. I heard of it, wasn't impressed, didn't have an Xbox. Then I started hanging out with people that played it, and the game pulled me in. They didn't convince themselves it was amazing, the game convinced them. You disagree, but fortunately everyone knows you're wrong. "People are sheep." I agree. for the first year out of the gate, the PS3 had almost nothing but disappointments and misfires to call its own. Fortunately, sheep bought the $600 console based on their love of the PS2. This isn't an argument that you want to go into, because unlike early PS3 adopters, just about everyone who bought any of the Halos was happy with their decision.
