Whilst it may be a good game, it's not selling as well as the old banjo's because it's not as good as them. I'm sorry, Rare lost so many devs when they went over to MS that they just aren't capable of making games like they used to

Except it's made by the original Banjo team. Play the game, then talk. Everyone in this topic who has actually played it has said nothing but praise.

i cant belive how much you are attacking everyone in this thread. It rated 79. Clearly there is something wrong with the game!

and, in your first post you said 'fail' at the OP. Yes your opinion is cleary different (and more bias probably) then the first poster, but by the way you sound its like the OP said some crazy, absurd stupid thing.

When a game, whos franchise has sold over 5 million in its previous two installments, sells only 200k in the first three weeks of sales you cannot in your right mind claim it to be a success. Its just plain stupid. Sure, it may have great legs or whatever, and it may not. But at this stage it isnt doing very well

 

First and foremost, notice I only "attacked" people who haven't played it yet critisized it like everyone is doing. The other people I critisized had a PSN in their sig with no 360 games owned, and are fooling themselves if they think the game was hyped. The only intelligent response to me came from Nazna, which I will respond to in a bit.

Did you ever read the reviews? The majority of negativity come from the fact that Rare uses vehicles. Most review sites have a strong bias, and it CLEARLY shows. It goes to show that, if there were no traditional-platform bias, this game would be rated around 85-90 pretty easily on Metacritic. If it had been Banjo-Threeie, you can bet your asses multiple 9.5's would've been thrown out. But enough of that.

You don't realize there's a big difference between you and everyone else bashing sales. Everyone else mentioned "hype," while you're comparing it to previous installments. That just goes to show that you're really not seeing why people are bashing those mentioning the word "hype." Your argument is very credible, theirs isn't. The OP DID say a very absurd thing. This game was the OPPOSITE of hyped; people were running away from it before it even launched because of the mention of vehicles. All you saw was massive negativity, so much so that Rare had to address it with conferences and statements to try and secure it's previous fans. Judging from the way you constantly mention "previous installments" (even in other topics), I'm guessing you're one of those upset traditional fans.

You talk about "great legs or whatever" as if it's nothing. Look at Viva Pinata, the legs is what carried it to 1.70m so far. Did you SEE those first month sales? And that's counting Japan! They were HORRIBLE for one of the most underrated games of this gen. But, as you can see, legs can make you travel a long way. Hence the term "legs." Now look at Banjo's sales, without even counting Japan. This game releases in Japan on the 11th, so counting that and the rest of the holiday, this will be an easy 400-500k seller by the end of December. And being that it is Banjo, just imagine the legs. EASY million seller. What will you say then? You're right, sure it doesn't compare to the sales of the original in '98, but for other people to mention the word "hyped," it's a pretty sad thing.
