As for "Me," the poster, I rejoice in the fact that your not buying this wonderful game. Someone with enough intelligence to let the lowest available and least respected review of a game, 8/10, completely deter them from playing what is probably the most critically acclaimed non-shooting action game so far this generation, either is a "fakeboy"(as in, Wii hater) and wasn't gonna buy the game anyway, or never deserved to play it in the first place. You think you have power because us "Nintendo fanboys" don't have your sale, when in actuality, I could care less. I'm in it for the games, and the Wii just got a AAAExclusive, first one of 08. You know, people said the Wii would never get a 3rd party AAAexclusive.

Where do you get off attempting to label me on the strength of one post - you have clearly already labelled me a fakeboy yet I fully support any game that appeals to me, bought Zak and Wiki, RE4, REUC, Mario and Sonic, Tiger Woods 08 on their first days of release cos they appeal to me but what I do not love however is these sandbox games - never bought Godfather, never bought Spiderman 3, in PS2 games never owned a single GTA game but as I liked the style of No More Heroes I was willing to give it a go. I had a concern in the back of my mind that it may get tedious and when I read that the missions dont allow to be replayed and some of them include killing loads of people without getting hit once made my mind up to give it a miss.

completely deter them from playing what is probably the most critically acclaimed non-shooting action game so far this generation - by who exactly? does that include Super Mario Galaxy?

Well, here we go.

 

What you said doesn't give me much confidence in your abilities to do virtually anything.

 

I don't know if your a fakeboy or not. Are you? Do you think the Wii is the best system? Worst system? What is your favorite system?

 

SMG isn't an action game, imo.

 

Now, let me get to the point. When you make little quips claiming that you've made up your mind about a game purchase made off, not just a review, but the lowest available review for a game and only that review, without giving any other information, don't get all righteous and holier than thou when someone busts you out on the obvious implications of your decision.

 

I don't care what you think. However, I stand by the fact that if you actually let just the IGN review, and that review alone, deter you from playing what is obviously a great game, without even considering another review, you honestly don't deserve to play it, imho, I hope you don't buy it, and I'm not gonna apologize for it.
