That thread is completely one-sided. If we decide to have a fair discussion about the game, we'll need a fresh thread. You've asked people in that thread to refresh the page in order to artificially bump up the page views. Don't tout that as a feature. The thread is a puff piece glorifying and hyping a PS3 exclusive, which we already knew would be good. It's not a valid forum for arguments against the game, and no one with a descenting opinion was given a fair shake. Avoidance of particular threads is just as important as participation, in certain circumstances. The OP has also grown to unacceptable proportions.

One particular insult to my intelligence is the large amount of Sony fans in that thread acting like they'd never cared about the game until these nearly redundant images have surfaced. For instance, if I made a thread saying:

Oh

MY

GODDD!!!!!!

Gears of War 2 looks SOOOOOO GOOOODDD!!!

I would be over-embellishing my excitement, and pretending that I didn't already know that for months and months.

It's a disguised hype attempt, and apparently it's the hype-de'jour, as it seems that nearly every Sony fan on the first 1.5 pages, used that line. I've seen the same trailers and gameplay they have. The game looks great. The faux excitement is unnecessary, and it's leading to an unfettered attempt to increase the viral hype for R2, by fans of the console, rather than the game. Were this game a 360 exclusive, it would be written off in favor or LBP, rather quickly, and the graphics would be criticized in many instances, while the hype-de'jour would most certainly become Killzone 2.

Every single day I point out inconsistancies in behavious of people on this forum, and every day people try to change their bias up, so it is undetectable. Disguising bias is like being a good salesmen. You always have to end the conversation with, "BTW, I'm selling this." No matter how perfect your pitch is, we can always smell BS when that part rolls around. This is the internet. We know things.

After playing through 3 huge modes in Resistance 2, Ign has been struck with excitement, and amazement on how good Resistance 2 has become.

They think its so good, that it may "easily" be a contendor for GOTY come november.

Resistance 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games this year.

 All previews read like that.

It doesn't mean anything whatsoever.

R2 will be "bigger, better, and more badass" than GeOW 2
