Take my love, take my land..

Perhaps Force Unleashed. I've read a lot of complaints about how the game permits the player a great deal of freedom only to snatch it away during the QTE-laden boss battles. The latest OXM gave it a 7.5/10, for whatever it's worth.

I'll probably still give it a shot, but my interest is waning a little bit in the face of Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Mercenaries 2. I'm sure it'll be good but probably not the AAA affair so many people were hoping for- me included.



Possibly Killzone 2. But then I'd consider below 7 average a big flop and an average of 8 a small flop. I expect KZ2 to get 8 average.

Ummmm probably in terms of hype possibly FF13.



I expect Fable 2 to average less than the first. I'll throw in Wii Music and ToV just for the hell of it.

@ tayne, no one is expecting good review scores for Wii music

Erm... The Force Unleashed. With OXMs score of the game (7.5), I'm not too excited for the game.

LBP Will be huge.



I'll be honest. I think in 3 months time a popular phrase on this site will be LittleBigFlop. I think the game is kind of cute and may crack a million in its lifetime, so as a new ip I would consider it a success. But the amount of frantic hype and expectations of sales that it is generating by small circles on this site is bordering on creepy. I think it will be a nice quirky title that will have a small but loyal following, not the second coming.



Last remnant.



 

In terms of sales I would say Conduit .

In terms of a game not meeting the hype/expectations it will be Fable 2. GeoW 2 will get an honorable mention, but the game is so generic it will appeal to the Halo crowd.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

I take that as a personal insult. KZ2 will be game of teh year in 2009. XBots will eat crow.
