tell me if REsistance 2 hype never crossed MGS4, Halo 3, GTa 4, FF13 & even LBP

how the hell was it meant to be "the best game ever?"

how do you come to such a dreadful conclusion?

 

Resistance 2 was, has been, TODAY, touted as the best and most innovated console shooter ever, by a number of people who has posted in this very thread.

I call BS!

That's how it works. You guys use after the fact assumptions, instead of what was said.

LBP in Japan:

"Nobody thought it was actually gonna sell a lot there did they!?"

Trust me, on this forums, I've heard plenty of hype about R2, and from that hype, one would assume that it would be at least as good as Gears 2, which as certainly been hyped to the level of "best game ever."

Let me prove it for you:

dis game is sony's answer to halo right now resistance 2 will blow away dis christmas

Now look at this thread:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=46871

Over half the people in this thread hype R2 as "better than Gears 2."

If Gears 2 is hyped like those games you've mentioned, then R2 was hyped by a ton of people to be better than those games you've mentioned. "Best game of all time" isn't a reach.

Don't ever come out after the fact and say what happened was "obvious." It wasn't. Nobody knew if G2 was gonna get higher than R2 until it happened, and more than half the people on this forum expected R2 to be better than G2, and some still do.

I hate having to keep saying this, but it doesn't matter anyway.
