| dhummel said: @nyanks Wii Sports is bundled with almost every Wii sold. Consumers have no choice but to own a copy of the game. That being said, Wii Sports may perhaps be a mst own title, because it has penetrated pop culture and many purchase a Wii to play Wii Sports. Still, I don't believe it is one. Sales is not the ONLy factor, just a large one. Read my above post. @reask Mustn't must own games have a compnent that deals with its sales. How is it must own if no one owns it? What does it mean to a must own? Certainly not just that it is AAA. There are usually dozens of those for each console each generation. Innovation has little to do with must own. Execution and attraction, as well as fun factor are the most important components. Similarly, an identifiable mascot (Mario, Master Chief) helps to draw in outsiders who feel they must own a certain game to properly experience gaming on whatever machine the game is on. It's not really about what preexisting owners and gamers think, though they are a component. Sackboy failed in this regard (at least as of now). |
I did say hype has a lot to do with it but you have to look at reviews and more importantly forums with real gamers opinions on the game.
Take this site as an example where a certain mod done a gears 2 review which had high praise for the game with a few niggles about online.
When I read the review I just said this review says what I feel about the game and I knew it didnt come from some overpayed hack.
So in my conclusion gears actually lived up to the hype which surrounded it and that ican be very hard to do.
Now will Killzone 2 live up to that hype who knows maybe it will maybe it wont.
If it doesnt will that mean the analyst was right?
A high end console like PS3 needs to start standing out from the crowd with its price tag would you not agree.
