@ JWeinCom

That's not above average buzz. Nearly every game has buzz like that. If a game doesn't get that sort of coverage, then its probably a small game, which probably did go on to sell less than PABR.

For real. The job of gaming sites like ign and gamespot is to inform people on the latest news of gaming. PSASBR was the latest news in gaming so they covered it. Unless this game got media coverage outside of gaming sites then it recieved no special treatment.

Make a voting poll thread and see who was right. Was it hyped or not.

Lol, polls like that don't work and you know it. You still haven't given me proof. I could name the people that thought it would be a huge seller on one hand.

Edit: And then you already did that...lulz


this is exactly why i left the sight for 2 years. Too many people claiming something was hyped up because of crazymann and leo-j predicting crazy numbers that any game would have problems reaching. Its ridiculous.

Whoa, whoa there.  That was crazzyman.  I am crazymann (not to be confused with the other crazyman (one "N") on this site).  I didn't predict anything crazzy, and I really could not care less how PASBR sells so long as it sells enough to get a sequel IF it is warranted.  If I like a game, I buy it, I don't need sales for affirmation.

Maybe I'm getting my members wrong. Who was the guy with the finding nemo shark avatar?

That was the real CrazyMan, this guy isn't him.

That one was a fucking loon, this one is only a half-moon-loon.

You cannot release a rip off this shameless and expect to come close to the figures that the real deal achieves.


Yes you can.

Dota came first, then LoL, the successful rip off.

Back at E3 everyone was saying the PS3 would eat the other consoles alive for the holidays because of the great exclusive content...

PS All Stars, LBP Karting, and Last of Us... Plus Wonder Books for the casuals...

In hindsight looking at the articles PS All-Stars didn't really help Sony win E3... Last of Us and Beyond were the big ones...The funny thing is that Sony keeps winning E3 based on vaporware for the following year...  The actual shipping games for the year don't...  People should pay attention to that...  Games like Last of Us, Beyond, Guardian of Light, GoW Ascension, etc.  Are going to all be good games but they are all 2013 or farther out games.

Until its first christmas, is preposterous to call it a flop.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Damn that's pretty low..I never though it would be the type of game that suits sony's audience.However I think it could work as a playstation plus gift and if they choose to create a sequel to it,it would be far more exposed and gain more sales...still it's all about characters and I think without major 3rd party characters like from square It would still be boring.
