Well, you would be misinformed then. We had 3 games (Halo 3, MGS4, Mario galaxy) all jump from around 70k hits to around 800k hits in a matter of days. We don't even have nearly that many page views to ever acheive something like that. There are extreme fanboys on all sides and I can easily point out people in each camp if you want.


That was before the hitters were re-set.

what makes you think that us resetting the numbers actually stopped the fanboys from auto-refreshing?

Honestly like I said, we should remove all indication of page hits. Page hits could be a useful metric to measure interest in a game except ours is skewed so horribly that there is no reason to even pay attention to it. The number of owners and people who have the game on the wishlist can be used to gather information because they can't easily be skewed.


From what I have seen at least. Coming from the front page... I rarely saw a game get over 1k hits. And that was when infamous launched.

yes, well the anti-spam-hit-counter works better than before, so you won't see huge numbers, however you can still get your favorite game on the front page if you want with little problem.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
