Anyone who's saying PSASBR didn't flop for Sony, it was supposed to be the Super Smash Brothers for Playstation(although i realize Mario etc. is a stronger franchise). Anyone wants to compare sales between those games? Yeah didn't think so. But heres the truth, i think PSASBR sold exactly like i expected it to sell for what it is: a mediocre game.

I bought PSASBR and i was royaly dissapointed, it just isn't much fun. The whole mechanic of finishing opponents with a ''finish move'' ruins it for me. The rest of the fighting is pointless, since you don't do any damage and it just serves to fill your finish move meter. Also the weapons that you can pick up are hardly interesting, and again you can't finish anyone of with them. The fun of Super Smash Brothers was trying to hang on to a life with like 300%/400% and not get knocked of the stage. And then the singleplayer challenges witch aren't interesting, some bad characters(Nathan Drake for example) etc. etc.

I consider PSASBR to be an ''okay'' game but i wouldn't give it any more than a 6/6.5 out of 10.

Just curious. Why did you buy the game? Did you not play the beta? Did you not hear about the finishing moves? It's not like it was something they decided to include at the last minute.

Also, about the weapons, yes you can. The head of the medusa turns your opponent into stone and you just have to attack them once and they die. I get that it's all a matter of taste and that's fine, but I just don't get how you were unware of the finishing moves.

No i didn't play the Beta and yes i did know about the finishing moves though i guess i didn't fully realize how this who make it so much different from SUper Smash Brothers for example. Also all reviews stated that it still was great fun playing with friends, and that is why i ended up buying it. We've played it like two times and haven't played it since, it just isn't that much fun. I guess i should have tried out the beta first, but that doesn't make it a better game. On the other hand i probably does explain why it sold less than most expected, since alot of people probably decided not to buy it after trying the beta.
