Probably not. PS3 owners are really picky when it comes to buying 3rd party games.

Anyway, again, I expected this game to bomb, and I still do. I think if it manages an 8.0 or above on gamerankings, it will be a monumental success.

Also, M, I think it might make a profit on the 360, there was a rumor that it had a million pre-orders or something(don't attack me cause it seems inplausable, I can link you the thread). I'm fairly sure that it will sell well for at least one week, to the crowd that didn't read reviews before purchasing. The Demo was some kind of record on live, so the game will probably see excellent sales, and it could be the best sales ever for a game that got below a 7 average on gamerankings, lol.

Though you're obviously trolling and couldn't possibly believe that, you should read this because it makes me smile:

Let me speak on the "power" of "The Cell." Another delusion of PS3 fans.

IMO, "The Cell" is just a phrase that symbolizes a promise Sony made at E3, after the Killzone trailer. The promise is that the PS3 will have much better graphics, and much more horsepower than its competitors. A promise that will never come to fruition. We have people that will try to explain the complexities of the architecture. You know what that is? Cherrypicking. Even if somehow "The Cell" physically existed as a substantial entity outside of talking points, and would eventually play a role in the console wars, Sony didn't think to include the other "features" required to boost the graphical power of games, beyond the processor, like say, a future proof video card and ram setup, I'm guessing. We tend to believe in generalizations because we don't understand everything, but I think it's fairly clear that writing videogame code isn't rocket science, and "unlocking the cell" amounts to calling Sony when your 360 port has a lot of slowdown and you don't know why.

The Cell is a magician's trick. A salesman's gimmick. All products have them. They are items within a product that do something you'll probably never exactly understand, but they have a cool name, so when you say to your friends, "Hey, I just bought this badass Toshiba television. It has Dynalite," or, "I just bought this awesome Samsung TV. It's the model withthat includes the Tru-color picture," you'll have a nice talking point right in the introduction. Nobody knows what this stuff does, but it's a cool word that makes people who listen believe that something they don't know about makes your purchased product better than the average.

It's an old vacuum cleaner salesmen trick. It's selling firewater off the back of a covered wagon in 1859. It's a Rainbow vacuum cleaner selling talking point. It's a Billy Mays product. It's oxy-clean. Now with Stain-Gaurd(trademark). The Cell is Stain-Gaurd.

It's the Playstation 3. Now with The Cell(trademark). We've spent years and billions developing our super processor, used by the US government in tests, and seen as the fastest super-computer known to man. This will destroy your 360, /snap, like that. Set it, and forget it. A pitch. Simple as that.

Its purpose? To battle cognitive dissonance, and when you're trying to devide on one console or another, and you're on the fence, you might say, "Well, this has The Cell," so I'll get it. Mostly, however, it is to comfort purchasers and give them a talking point. It makes you feel better knowing you have the "all powerful cell" at your fingertips. You know what "The Cell" is? This is the deepest secret no one knows. The Cell is nothing. It's the same thing that every other computer has inside it that does what "The Cell" does. It just does it in a less efficient way in order to appear different. Those other ones are just not called "The Cell."

imo

Now maybe my opinion is wrong. I'm not a technician. However, I do know bullcrap when I see it. The signs are universal, and I know marketing. It's easy to spot. You can't mistake it.

Alright, back on topic.

I expected scores around this range. Means the game is not for everyone, but contains some merits. I played the demo, enjoyed it, and will buy it. I also enjoy the Dyansty Warriors games. Look what scores they get. :)

 Your talking rubbish, Haze had a shit load of people on every forum all over the net defending it, until a couple of weeks after its release, when they stopped playing it and just didn't bother posting anymore.

This score is about as expected as the sun rising tomorrow. I think its prolly pretty close to the mark, there were already doubts in most people's minds that something wasn't right...

^ I also like the DW games, but I don't think this is like that, DW games can be interpreted as a genre of their own, or not. Hence negative reviews....From Too Human, it just sounds like its been in development too long and gone stale and bland.

I am not surprised by the score. This game will simply get mixed reviews all over the place. I expect the same thing for Killzone.

Your wasting your time dude it was a joke.

I thought it would score higher because I always thought it looked better than Fable and Fable 2. Anyway, I will make my final decision on whether or not to buy the game on how well either Play or IGN rates it.

Even though IGN only gave Heavenly Sword a 7. Dave Halverson in his Play review gave it a 10, and after purchasing it, I did come to the conclusion that it was worth it (worth the purchase price). Also, a couple of games that have received lower review scores in the bigger publications that Play has influenced me to have an interest in purchasing Viking the 360 version and Assassin's Creed (360) which Halverson also gave a 10. The thing I like about Play Magazine and Diehard Gamefan is that like a good college radio station that isn't playing the popular songs like the larger radio stations in the same town, they do a good job of making you consider buying products that you otherwise would not have done so.

I enjoyed playing the Too Human demo, but I must admit it did control a bit strangely..putting attack on the right analog stick, so I wonder if that might have effected GI's review score (I do think GI is a quality publication, and they usually have good early exclusive articles on upcoming games.)

well could care less what reviewers rate it, wasn't planning on getting it anyway as soon as I heard the guy say this about the game.

the first playthrough can take like 15 hours but if you level up to like 50 it can take up to 50 hours or whatever it was he said exactly. So basically a bullshit short story that only takes 15 hours (at most, any hour number is usually always shorter than they say) and then if you want to hack and slash for another 40 hours you can.

Regardless of the quality I think this will sell well.

1) Timing (lack of competition)

2) Marketing. They are trying to sell this to the Halo crowd, and they seem to be succeeding. I think a lot of buyers will be unhappy with it though.
