Forums - Gaming - Congratulations Guilty Gear Overture on annihilating expectations

With this post representing a near INFINITE amount of exposure that anyone's concern for giving an iota, Guilty Gears Overture now will shine brilliantly (in this post, represented by the fact I actually OWN the game).  It's first post in a LONG time, if ever, have already surpassed the lifetime expectations for the game generating any attention.  Indeed, it seems likely my writing of this will more than double the chance of my playing it, and quite possibly triple it.

With it sitting on my bookshelf, under a shifted pile of other games (including the Genesis Collection, GTA 4 and Saint's Row 2, and Assassin's Creed), this game has a chance to do what Halo 3 did a week or so ago, that is get some play.  Rather than just fire up another game, which will lend my feeling of generic blahs, I think I should directly access this game with my console.  Indeed, this writing may motivate me into actually playing the entire campaign, which is an excellent achievment.

 

Pardon the odd structuring.  I was just inspired by this post waxing on the brilliance of Halo Wars, and figure if I apply it to Guilty gear Overture, maybe it will get me to play it:

Anyhow, on another note, I kinda like the title.  It says Herzog Zwei for me, but with Dynasty Warriors action mechanics.  I should get back to it.  Anyone else out there happen to try this?  I feel it is a sleeper.  Now it is around $40, it is worth looking into.

Besides, I found the thread I am inspired by, to be annoying, along with this feint expectations games that people are playing with titles that is: "Wow, it is awesome it blew away expectations." and  "No it isn't, I hate your console and its games, therefore, I expected your game to sell 20 gajillion copies in the first 5 minutes, and it only sold 2 million in the first week, so  YOUR GAME SUCKS! and is a FLOP!"

Does a game which plays like Dynasty Warriors, but you order up units real time on the map interest you?


For me, it reminds me of Herzog Zwei.  It is a mediocre title by large number of standards, but meets that niche with me.  One review said it was very much like Herzog Zwei, and that sold me.  I like how you can play the game single player and it provides an option where you can pause and order units around the board.

I have seen it going for $40 now.  This was at Best Buy and Gamestop.  I figured I would jump on it before it goes away.  Just like Herzog Zwei, it appears to have gotten mediocre to poor ratings, and didn't sell well.  It is likely to disappear.  Anyhow, expect it to be different, not GREAT though.  But could hit the spot for those who want Herzog to meet Dynasty Warriors.

The appeal of the road less travel, and maybe finding a gem that was ignored, so when you come back years later, and say you own it.
