MSG4 couldn't afford to stand on its own merits, it HAD to be more. FF 13 I would also say was similar, until it went multiplatform, then it got dumped on, because it stopped serving this purpose. On the 360 side, I would argue the original Gears of War fit into a similar boat as MSG4, in that it couldn't stand on its own merits alone. |
Couldnt disagree more, MGS4 can stand on its own, otherwise it wouldnt have sold as well as it did. Same for Gears of War, oh sure there was hype, but not so much more than any other big exclusive. Final Fantasy still held its hype. It got dumped on because it was a dumpy game
