I like your posts more every day.

As for Bioshock, I think the first 2/3rds of the game deserve some credit. Rapture is possibly the most engaging game world ever (maybe the Wastelands from Fallout 1/2 are better but it's close) and the beginning of the game is definitely engaging.

But you're right. It's System Shock 2 for retards. Too bad, really, because that game had so much potential in its world, political and philosophical undertones, and antagonist (whose death happens to coincide with the game turning to shit).

This is the five most HYPED, not overhyped. MGS4, KZ2 and Crysis lived up to the hype, Halo 3 came close, only GTA4 was a disappointment.

Ah, the wonderful System Shock 2.

I can never understand the thinking that games like SS2, Deus Ex, Thief, etc. must be 'dumbed down' for consoles... but it does seem to be the common developer response.

A good reminder for people living a sheltered life in the vgchartz bubble.

Don't gaming folk use Google?  How the heck can Yahoo have so many more results than Google?

Interesting stuff, but to get an accurate picture you'd need to factor in one is the total for a game with lots of pre-release hype plus years on sale vs a game with lots of pre-release hype and a few days on sale - i.e. this data is not normalized in any way and is just the usual stuff flung back and forth between fanboys.

mmm i dont know about the rest but mgs4 lived to the hype and gta4 failed badly

I was surprised by the huge Yahoo numbers aswell.

That post was in response to the statement: "Halo 3 is nothing but a blip on the internet radar compared to the hype titan Killzone 2." It may not be perfectly accurate, but it certainly proved a point.

Also if I am not mistaken wasn't numonex one of those those this month and last month that admitted to being tired of all the KZ2 threads on the front page?

How many did he just make now? 3? 4?

Take your own advice. Post in the Official KZ2 thread.

But hey, either way, thanks for putting KZ2 in the spotlight more.

LOL! Wrong thread.

Overmarketed not necessarily overhyped.  Halo 3 was marketed like a monster.  Killzone 2 was hyped beyond belief on here.  And did have prelaunch.
