Thanks for digging this up. Now everybody can see that people expected more from Killzone 3. Except ElGranCabeza, but he was also way off on Gran Turismo 5.


Riiighht. You and I both know that the people predicted high because of YOU! Only because of you and your mind games. Your extremely high prediction made all other high predictions appear plausible by comparison. It's called the desensitizing effect. That outlier tapped into people's subconscious and made fairly high predictions seem okay. By predicting so high, you suddenly made realistic predictions appear pessimistic, and overly-optimistic predictions appeared realistic by comparison. You caused them to predict higher than they really wanted to. I bet if you hadn't messed with that thread, people would have predicted lower and the average prediction would have been at around 2.6m.

 

I see you tried to do that again in this thread but luckily I PM'd every member about your intentions already.

For a more visual representation of what ROL did. 

This is Nate Robinson. 

Nate is 5'9.  He is at a pretty normal height. Most people would notice this by looking at him

 

 

Now, here is Nate Robinson standing next to Shaq.

 

 

Suddenly, Nate doesn't look so average now, does he? He looks short as hell! Almost like a bady

 

 

The same thing applies to Rol's actions with his over-predicting. RolStoppable needs to be stopped for fucking with peoples' heads!

So in other words, your argument is that Sony fans are very easy to manipulate.


So you admit to manipulating Sony fans in these prediction threads?

ROL's specialty is manipulating Sony fans. You were never in danger. I didn't have to warn you about anything.

I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
