| albionus said: I think there are quite a few other games that could be added to the overhyped on video game forums list. I have to say God of War is the overhyped game that bugs me the most. Reading reviews of it and listening to Sony fanboys it's God's gift to gamers, one of the greatest series of all time, etc etc etc, and yet GoW1&2&3&PSP combined will likely fall in the range of Halo alone in sales. Sales-wise (I don't care about how great the game is or isn't since that's different for everyone) I think Lair, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Bioshock and the rest will also fail to light up the charts. They'll do alright, but they'll be more Lost Planet/Crackdown (if that) and less Gears of War/Halo. |
Oh, I see, so the quality of the game is judged by sales alone. Gotcha.
Have you even played God of War? (Don't worry, I expect you to say you don't like it, even if you did play it, but I decided to ask the trap question anyway).
EDIT: And which Halo alone do you mean? GoW1 sold 2.5 million alone, and GoW2 is just now out in Europe. 6.43, 7.89 are the sales for Halo 1 and 2. Seems to me that the third GoW game will surpass 6.43 and the 4th will pass up 7.89. I'm just glad that sales alone determine the quality of a game, though, because that means Halo sucks compared to Pokemon.
EDIT2: And just to stay on topic...Lair isn't overhyped because some people are excited about it. Most of the people that are excited about Lair are probably more excited by one of those games listed. Choosing between a lot of games you like doesn't mean that a low percentage for one game is bad. You know what is overhyped by VGChartz members? A lot of things.
