You don't consider a 9 out of 10 to be a disappointing score for a game whose developers and message board fans were all shouting was a guaranteed 10 and the guaranteed game of the year? A 9 for Gears of War 2 with all of the hype it was striving to live up to is a bad score and if it only winds up with an average score in the 8 to 9 range then it is one of the biggest failures since Daikatana. You see, a 9 is a good score for most games but it is a disappointing score for the most hyped game on the planet. If MGS 4 had just received a 9 many would have been all over it. A game with Gears reputation has to be held up to higher standards than other games and according to this score it seems as if Gears 2 isn't going to live up to its hype. |
There is no hope for this poor soul. What happens when there is undoubtedly a 9/10 for LBP? Are you going to say the same thing, with PS fans claiming it's the second coming of Christ? (Oh, and no need to take me literally, I'm not saying anybody has claimed LBP is actually the second coming of Christ)
EDIT on bold: AHEM!
Read 'em and weep, buddy. :)
The BuShA owns all!
