Not always. 50 Cent is a good example.

I don't think it's right to wish failure on a game. you may not like 50 cent but he has his fans and they're probably happy to get the game if it's any good. You're not the target audience for something doesn't mean you should go up in arms against it.

It's funny how many of you are supporting the OP. If I said I wished all other Halo or Mario games would bomb, I wonder how you guys would react.

For the record, I'm no fan of the guy either. I'm simply indifferent to his "artistry"

Even the most die-hard fanboy knows that MArio, Halo, MGS etc all have something a 50-cent game does not have. Soul, and passion from it's creators... or at least, some bloody effort.

You just know that this game is a shrill, a marketing ploy for gullible players who will stand there deciding over KZ2 or Fallout 3 or any other stellar game, and this piece of crap. And it will be such a shame for gaming when they chose this drivel. 

Don't forget the unsuspecting parents. I have a strong suspicion that most shovelware gets bought by parents for their kids.

 

So you guys are already calling the game "shovelware". I bet you've played it too.

 

Considering the first 50 cent game and the plot, it seems likely.

For the record I'm just having some fun here... couldn't care less about whether this game fails or not. Hadn't even heard about it before this thread.

This was one game that it made sense for Activision to drop.

The first one was a mess. It makes you wonder why there was a sequel. Of course, there appear to be a million and a half gullible people out there.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I came in here expecting to say "Yes", but then I saw you were talking about 50 Cent, so I say "No". If it's bad enough, it should bomb. Like NFS Undercover. But often, it doesn't. Like NFS Undercover.

Wow that New Fifty game sounds so retarded just like his music and G Unit all togheter. But i dont know about wishing game to bomb, i mean after all some people are working on it because some douche have ordered them to create it, wishing the game to bomb would be wishing them loosing their job.

By game I mean 50 Cent Blood in the Sand and by bomb I mean fail so hard he leaves the game industry and NEVER returns!

 

I'm sorry I just find the man the most annoying irritating man in showbiz. To top that his "game" is set in the middle east ...

 

I wonder has 50 cent ever visited the middle east, I bet he just wants to go shoot up a bunch of "terrorists"

There's nothing wrong with wanting a game to bomb. But if it's a 50 cent game, then you don't even have to feel bad about wanting it to bomb. Blood in the Sand is gonna be an EPIC FAIL!!!!

Well overrated ones I do want to bomb//but to be honest no I have never felt that way towards a game.



numonex on 07 February 2009

No. It is ok to wish for a shovelware/multi-platform game to bomb.
If you say on here you want X exclusive game on a system you do not own to bomb, that could be deemed as trolling/flaming.



kazad91 on 07 February 2009

no i wish for it constantly, some examples would be

K2
Halo 3
DMC4
Tomb Raider games
Castelvania Judgement

just to name a few, generally i do so with the ones that i feel damage teh industry instead of helping it
