Who is surprised here ?

This game was overhyped on the whole internet because it was supposed to be the "BEST GAME EVA", the BEST GFX EVA, the best survival horror game that is so good that you DO NOT HAVE the right to call it a survival horror game (thx you Remedy for this last point)

also, the game has no online multiplayer which seems to be more and more important for gamers today ...

It is released close to RDR which is getting high praising

AND the pre-orders where showing us since numerous weeks that game will not have amazing sales.

Conclusion : plz port the game to PC and I will buy it. Thx you Remedy.

Were not talking about the following gamese

• Uncharted 1/2
• LBP
• R2 (Remember that guy who said Its the best looking game of 2008? LOL!)
• MGS4
• Selnor
• Westley Yin-Poole (He said Crysis 2 on 360 was better than PC crysis LOL!!!)
• GT5
• GoW3
• Gears 3

 

 

But this game is incredible, The graphics are mind blowing.

Since when were these "overhyped" ?

There was that stupid "HUGE" Bullshit going around when LBP was gonna come out, it was supposed to move millions of playstations and sell a million first day.

 

GT5 is supposed to be the saving god of the PS3 for some reason, people are hyping it up like it was just announced.

 

UC1/2 is the best game ever cus its only on the PS3 and the graphics are amazing and anyone who gives it less than a 100 are Xbots.

GoW3 has amazing graphics and can only be done on the PS3 and blah blah blah. We get it the game is good no need to over hype everything.

Dude, how is this even relevant here ? its way off-topic.

These games were hyped, yes..because they are amazing games...

UC2, GoW 3, LBP all are 90+ on meta and overall fan reaction has been extremely positive, unlike games like GTA IV which received a lot of meh reactions from fans.

Why exactly is GoW 3 over-hyped ? It delivered on everything it promised imo, you haven't even played ANY GoW game and you label it over-hyped... Why ? And what position are you in to say that it is..

If my memory serves me correctly, you are the same guy who said Uncharted 2's graphics were average and the textures were bad. You also said Dante's Inferno had a better story than GoW despite not playing GoW.

You continuously say these type of things which you aren't in any position to say and get away with it....

On topic though,

Games like Alan Wake, inFamous and all which were pretty hyped and didn't get the review scores as fans expected are still awesome enough for some, but not so for others.

AW sales are mildly disappointing, yes. ioi expects about 150k from America first week...so around 250k Worldwide isn't bad and it will eventually get to a million...or even more if it has insane legs. Which is brilliant for a horror/thriller title that isn't Resident Evil.

1. no one said that AW is suppoed to be the best game ever with the best graphics, unlike those games above in the read. AW had little to NO hype on the internet.

2. GoW3 is a good game im sure, but people are acting like its a new Mario 64. GoW3 is the least hyped game among that list.

3. I said UC2 had average graphics, it was just colorful and yes DI actually has a Hero that isnt always pissed off and some big brute idiot.

4. Im in no position to say my opinion? Gee Wiz most of the people on this site say their opinion like its fact. I guess since im a 360 fan im wrong for that.

 

AW will do fine in the long run, like a stripper it will have long legs.
