Zelda Twilight Princess.... too little Zelda and Ganon in it.

That's why OoT------------>ZTP.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Theres a difference between game quality and sales.

Halo 3 sold wonderfully but the game quality lacked compared to hype.
KZ2 sold ok but not as much as the hype warranted but the game quality is great. lacked compared to the hype.

Tomb Raider???? where was thy hype? that game shouldn't be on the list. Maybe a list of franchises that need to die but not hype/disappointment

R2 should be on the list as it disappointed sales wise and game wise

Fixed.

Don't use double standards.

Difference between Halo3 and KZ2

Halo hype>>>>>>>>>>KZ2   Halo was touted as the greatest game ever.

Both games quality are good.  Maybe good would have been a better word to use but Halo was suppose to be fantastic while KZ2 was suppose to be PS3 FPS answer sales wise and it wasnt.

 

But I would say that those who hyped it the most (largely Halo 2 multiplayer fanatics) also have the most fun with Halo 3.

GTA: Chinatown wars.

It's more of the same with crappier graphics.

Madworld

Not only mmindless but mindless and boring with horrible graphics.

 

Smash Bros. Brawl

Same old tired Smash Bros. we've been playing since 1997.

I'm sorry, but anybody who was expecting GTA to change significantly because it is on a handheld needs to have their head examined.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Everyone hyped halo 3.  Average gamer, forum users, gaming website and reviewers, the news media and everyone else in between.   Sure the most hyped are the ones who enjoyed the game but even I got hyped for halo 3 and I am a strong Sony supporter.

It delivered a strong game but not the game it was suppose to be.  Sure the most hyped were probably the ones who enjoyed it the most but a good number of past halo fans became CoD4 players and if halo was the greatest game ever then why did that happen?

KZ2 was never meant to be the greatest game ever but in terms of quality it is right up there with Halo3 (albeit very different game play experience from each other that come down to preference)

Cause CoD4 is THE shit !!!!

Haze hype was there are first, but died down a lot, so it wasn't really over hyper, though the game was quite dissapointing. KZ2 was definately overhyped, but I wasn't dissapointed by the final product.

Killzone 2.



Boutros on 30 October 2009

Far Cry 2 was surprisingly very fun.

Mine:
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Paper Mario
- Valkyria Chronicles
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- GTA IV (Of course)

Mario is very oftenly over-hyped and overrated.

Super mario galaxy was a great game imo, what did you not like about it then?
