Nothing would have changed. Zero. The game was great as it was. Reviewers and gamers were influenced by people who hated it without even trying it. The negative press killed it. It was the cool game to hate just like Knack, The Order and DmC. Sad but true.


I understand where your coming from, but that doesn't excuse it in the competitive scene. The KO system automatically killed it there. Peoples thoughts of negativity (press or Haters for example) wouldn't be enough to stop it from the 1mil people whobough the game and wanted to make it have a community (see games with low sales yet have a community).

As for Knack+The order, people didnt think they were horrible and Knack sold well (right?). The order might of been overhyped so thats where i see It having negativity, but of course i cant say as i didn't follow nor play the game

Knack sold ok, only due to bundles. 80% of the comments I've read about it was that it was shit. The other 10% was that they didn't give it a chance due to all the negative comments they kept reading about. DmC was a great game according to reviewers and many people who bought it thought and still sold terribly. I don't think the Order was ever overhyped. The vast majority of the threads made about it as well as the articles posted, were extremely negative. The press and gamers wanted it to fail because of its genre (being a cinematic experience).

As for PSABR and its competitive scene, you have to factor that the game was not well supported by Sony. I played it for a while, but knew there wasn't much future for it in terms of support. The company that made it was fired soon after it was released. All the negativity surrounding it affected gamers, myself included. Just the way that if all your friends are playing COD, you have to play it too, if everyone is calling it names with ever chance they get, you're likely to stop bothering with it yourself. When I asked my friends to play it with me, they all said: "Pfft. Rip-off". And then I asked them if they even knew who was part of the roster and they told me that they didn't know. They just read it was a rip-off. How long am I supposed to play with strangers an unspoorted game?
