Course it has average reviews, theres never been a decent Socom game yet.
This game wont be selling anyway.

Um...you're kidding, right?
|
Actually i dont think hes kidding you, it sounds like you really want socom to do this outstanding of a job, it wont break more than 320k its first week sales, have you seen the reviews for it? metacritic is at 67/100 for it right now and reviews like these actually affect the " casual " gamers decisions of picking games up. Socom has declined in sales with every newer socom coming out, but i do agree socom 4 will beat out confrontation but not by much, my predictions life time itll do about 1.5-1.7......... and thats going down a year in the road with a price cut.

I don't think casual gamers go to metacritic and look up review scores...
|
okay so you talk about " i dont think casual gamers " go to metacritic and look up reviews, well that can go by opinions, but i know a lot of casual gamers that go off by the word of mouth or reviews for games before buying it. Then if were talking about " casual " gamers of the cod market, its not like the cod market is just going to up and quit cod to play socom 4, if the casuals want to play to call of duty their gonna stick to and play call of duty. for the fact zipper even thinks s4 is going to steal the cod market away is just a major gamble, thats most likely going to fail.

Yeah, it's more by word of mouth than reviews...look at Homefront for example. Those who frequent gaming websites are most often not casuals, but rather interested in the gaming scene (why else would they visit gaming websites?). Casual gamers game casually and don't really care about reviews (Just Dance 1/2, Kinect games, lots of Wii games).

Yea you got some good points there, but the " word of mouth " for s4 isnt looking to good, and the ones that are positive are only sayings its decent at best, majority of the vets of this game are showing hate and discontent for this game. Its getting mixed emotions, so the " word of mouth " for this game isnt looking to well overall.
