^an interesting topic thats found in the bonus round #4 on gametrailers

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41975.html

6:45 onwards, all three panelists pick thier games and came up with these 4 below, ive just put in a little quote on each game summurising why they feel so.

  • saints row 2 - "campy over the top game, in the shadow of gta4"
  • mirrors edge - "might turn out fine but looks scetchy"
  • banjo kazooie - "its just a racing game all you do is build cars"
  • fable 2 - "might not do as well as publishers hope, mabey people will pick up after fall 2008, only x amount of $$$ this year"

i think they are kinda correct in this.

i love saints row 2, but it is in the shadow of gta4, ive traded my copy of gta4 and have saints row 2 its a very good game imo

mirrors edge looks fantastic and i predict this will be this years assasins creed, in that it recives average scores but sells million

banjo kazooie, well it was confirmed ages ago that its over 80% driving and might dissapoint some purchasers thinking its another classic banjo game.

fable 2, should have a good opening week, but many players might be put off as there are other many better games out on that platform like gears 2 and...... mabey left4dead, i think however fable might have some good legs after xmas 2008, i predict in the uk the price for fable 2 will be slashed like ninja gaiden 2

------------------------

out of the games above, i already have sainst row 2 and i like it, mirros edge i will give a shot after xmas 2008, banjo is a non starter for me i wont bother, however i might purchase it for my son after xmas 2008 should find it used, fable 2 good game but to short for me, i dont like some of the game mechanics.

do you agree with the GT panel?

 

They criticized Fable 2 because of sales, not because of quality, or at least you make it appear so. IMO, this whole thread was created to enable you to point that out, without being seen as biased.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

well you do have eagle eyes most of the time, but that wasnt my plan of action at all. sure im not interested in fable 2 but that doesnt mean a shed load of others wont be interested in it, fable 2 has released as a good game but not one for me thats all.

if you look at bullet points it clearly stating regarding sales. the "pick up later" tag is not only on fable 2 or others but also on ps3 and wii games. most people simply wont be able to buy all them games that are coming out, hence many will buy later. jan-feb-march is the time of year where used games come into fray



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Zen always seems to find bais in others not himself.



Zucas on 26 October 2008

Yes Banjo Kazooie deserves to be in there. Ugh what have they done to my bear and bird friends.

I always find the truth, or at least the most likely scenerio.

If I was wrong about Skeeuk, I apologize, but I was point out a very likely scenerio.

I openly admit my bias, buy my posts rarely have alterior motives. I'm gonna tell you what I think, and you can deal with it. I'm usually right anyway, I dunno why you're complaining. Shouldn't the PS3 fans be held to the same high standard that you all obviously hold for me, instead of basing their victories lies and fanboyism?

There are plenty of positive points about the PS3 and negative points about the 360, and none of them have anything to do with Fable 2.

-1 to Neos.

Kitchen sink wasn't even partly funny.  If that's the case, then why not put Forza 2 there, since people (read:  360 fans) are so intent on it being better than GT?



NNN2004 on 26 October 2008

lol again another thread against the 360 from Skeeuk



Tremble on 26 October 2008

I agree with mirror's edge and Bk. I would also say LBP. I know I know ... What I mean is that it's pretty special and that young people may be surprised.


But hey, LBP will be b3yond huge ^^

Well Mirror's Edge has had one review from OPM UK and that was a 9, so I am not so sure there. I am not sure about the rest, but Fable has already sold 1m pretty much, so I would expect it to sell 3-4 m overall
