12 Threads on the front page... yeah.

 

Holy shit... Still not SSBB levels but bad enough to annoy.

 

Much worse than SSBB, much more people seemed to stay in the official SSBB thread during it's hype.  Which is what lead to it's ridiculous size.

 

I think our memories differ then. There were tons of SSBB threads, of this kind;

"Do you want this move in SSBB", "Do you want this/these character (s) in SSBB", "Which score will it get from -insert review site here-", "What will be its metacritic average", "Will you play -insert character here- in SSBB", "Is SSBB the best fighter around", "How much will SSBB sell", "What's your favourite SSBB character/stage/move/combo/controller", "Look at this SSBB -insert pic or video", "How many here are buying SSBB day one/at all", "Which SS title is your favourite", "SSBB will be the best game ever/huge/epic", "SSBB will sell -insert number here- worldwide/in Japan/in NA/in EU and others", "-insert site here- gave SSBB a -insert score here-", "-insert figure- says SSBB will be -insert superlative-", "SSBB set for launch in -insert region-", "What are your expectations for SSBB", "SSBB featured on/in -insert magazine, paper, program or website here-". All this in addition to the official thread being perhaps the biggest we had. Now that's hype.

I mean, come on, it was just as bad if not worse, have people already forgotten? I remember loging in a couple of weeks before launch and damn near all of the hot topics were SSBB threads of some kind. Mind you, it was much the same with MGS4, Gears 2, Fable 2, Wii Music and GT 5: Prologue.

My point is; the amount of KZ2 threads is within norms of popular games in here (hate or love) and is in no way exceptional or extreme. It is simply a title which is more popular to point out than the above, since we know pretty much for a fact that SSBB, MGS4, Gears 2, Fable 2 and GT5: Prologue would be good (no comment on Wii Music).

 

Many of those questions were kept in the official thread, not seperate ones, as I've already said.  But yes, these big games do get hype.

I think I'm more sick of how hostile many of the KZ2 threads become (probably why they ring louder bells in my mind). I suppose SSBB escaped that to a big extent because not many games are like it.  Jabs at other games, or comparisons drawn to other games turn many of these KZ2 threads really bitter.
