Sony is a kiddy console, confirmed, lol....j/k

Anyway, if LBP had been on a Nintendo console, then some of these fans you see, they would be marginalizing it as a kiddy game, that they hate to play, and they would instead be touting in Killzone 2. These are they hypocrisies of a fanboy.

If it was on 360, the one's currently marginalizing the game would probably put it towards the top of their list.

I've said it many times. I can't get this. I don't have a PS3 currently, and I don't like the look of the game enough to make me want to play it without even a rental. I do think it will sell well, and I also think it might top the gamerankings review scores, because critics would feel like hypocrites, were they to give it anything but perfect scores, after the ravings they've done over the previews.

This game, like Halo 3, and probably Fallout 3, Gears 2, and Resistance 2, are all destined to get AAA review scores, no matter how good or bad they are.

Games like RE5 are also pigeonholed as AA games only, due to their lack of innovation over the last iteration, and generalized impressions from demos, no matter how good, or bad they are. This, despite hyped games such as GTAIV, and Halo 3, which are also replicas of their previous entries, being hyped to hell and given perfect scores.

Wii fans all of a sudden like shooters just because of The Conduit. 360 fans seem to be, out of the blue, large fans of Japanese RPGs just because Microsoft bought off tons of developers. OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FANBOYS ARE HYPOCRITES! WHAT A STRANGE AND EXCITING CONCEPT! SURELY THIS CAN'T BE REAL???!!!

Besides, you really believe that developers would give great scores to mediocre games just because they'd look like hypocrites do to their earlier hype of said games? It's a shrewd theory, and I give you credit for it. Funny that you didn't mention any Wii games despite the fact that I could name several of them hyped out of the wazoo (hint: one comes from a shovelware developer). Anyways, if that were true, how come some highly hyped games with positive previews end up with average scores? Remember Lost Planet: Extreme Condition? Besides, the games you mentioned are destined to get good reviews scores because they'll BE good (well except for Fallout 3, not so sure about that one). Halo 3 has an amazing multiplayer experience, despite what many shooter/PC elitists try to say. The first Gears was amazing and the first Resistance was above average, so there's no reason to believe that the sequels won't be at least as good (especially since they won't be rushed).

And why are you picking on Halo 3? Because it's popular? Hell, EGM broke a trend and had one of the reviewers give it a 9.5/10 just for the game. Halo 3 is only the 7th best reviewed game on the 360 (Source: Gamerankings) despite the other two games in the series being in the top 3 rated Xbox games and having higher ratings (let me remind you that Halo 2 has more reviews than Halo 3, bringing the average down). Anyways, if you're complaining about games that were hyped to hell and given perfect scores, why not focus on Super Mario Galaxy and Ocarina of Time? They have higher ratings that they certainly didn't deserve.
