Is it wrong to want a game to bomb?

I don't think it's right to wish failure on a game. you may not like 50 cent but he has his fans and they're probably happy to get the game if it's any good. You're not the target audience for something doesn't mean you should go up in arms against it.

It's funny how many of you are supporting the OP. If I said I wished all other Halo or Mario games would bomb, I wonder how you guys would react.

For the record, I'm no fan of the guy either. I'm simply indifferent to his "artistry"

Even the most die-hard fanboy knows that MArio, Halo, MGS etc all have something a 50-cent game does not have. Soul, and passion from it's creators... or at least, some bloody effort.

You just know that this game is a shrill, a marketing ploy for gullible players who will stand there deciding over KZ2 or Fallout 3 or any other stellar game, and this piece of crap. And it will be such a shame for gaming when they chose this drivel. 

How do you define souland passion? I could argue that nintendo is also milking mario with the different mario things like "super sluggers", "tennis, etc because people would be led to buy it because of mario on the cover. Same could be said for halo wars and halo 3:recon. This is no different from getting people to buy a game because 50 cent is on the cover. 

Just because you have an intrinsic bias against something doesn't mean others should share your values and I know fanboys who'd argue that mario and halo don't have that "soul" you're talking about.
