Ok this might not be a far fetched as some people might think and I'm not saying it'll get poor reviews but just what if?  We know it's being made by Ninja Theory that has just one other game to their credit, Kung Fu Chaos for the Xbox which received reviews averaging 68 on Metacritic.  What if this game gets reviews that average in the mid to high 70s?  Would it be able to keep the PS3 in the race for September and keep the PS3 from losing console sales to Halo 3, Eternal Sonata, Project Gotham Racing 4, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage, and a slew of other games?

Honestly, I think HS will sell moderately well no matter what it scores, but I don't expect an aggregate below 75%.

If it gets a low review it would give me more of a reason to hate sony and love nintendo, and more importantly microsoft for throwing this game away from there console.

the hell happened to you.

i know right?.. O.O

HS getting a low score..
guess same thing that happened when lair got a low score x2.

and why would HS getting a low scre make you love Nintendo?. that makes no sense.

As long as the graphics look good, people will buy the game. Regardless of what gameplay is like. Thats what its all about. The graphics.


"Although I am well aware that solid gameplay is absolutely critical for making this a good game, I would buy it just for the cutscenes."- Ryan Clements IGN: PS3

Lair got poor reviews? from what unbiased site? IGN doesnt have their review up yet...

It proves the theory that nitnedo makes better games than sony.

edit:(folks sorry if that statement was somewhat fanboyish)

^Of course... When LAIR game gets a bad review, reviewer is biased. When Lair gets bad review from IGN, site all of a sudden turned biased.

I don't think HS will have review under 8, the demo was good, short, but good.

I just hope the havn't show all about the fighting system in the demo, because even if the system was interesting, I think it will become more a button smashers in the end like God of War.
