A few examples from past experiences with games. Buying into hype and what not.
Halo 3 and GTAIV. Both huge letdowns. Halo 3 I expected sooooooo much more out of it. And GTAIV wasn't what they had hyped it up to be. Even though I was a fan of that series originally.
Gears 2. I wanted, without much hype. Was fun for me for 6 months. Then I just put it down and never picked it back up. At least I got my money out of that one.
MW2 next week. I wanted it before all the fuckin hype surrounding it. I only rented 4 and 5 several times. I figured when I was playing 5 that I was gonna buy the next "modern" version of this game.
RB2. Never was hyped. I bought that the week it came out and still play it over a year later! The DLC helps a lot with that though.
So really, other peoples opinions don't mean shit when it comes to games. Its what I like and don't like that really matters. Should be the same to everyone else!
i always went to my friends who has 2 360's one to host rooms and the other to play in those rooms.
i would go over there for a few hours and he would be playing gears1 forever.
i never liked online play someone was either cheating or way fucking better than me (in shooter type games) but i eventually after about a year of Gears being out i bought the hype (the megadeth song gears of war also helped)
but i played through it and never really thought it was this UNBELIEVABLE game everyone was talking about. it was basic linear with great graphics and great story. kill 10 enemies here go through the courtyard...kill another 10 enemies...over and over i cant do that for a second game. so i never got gears II.
GTA wasnt as good as i thought it would be but i liked it, and i was hooked on GTA since gtaIII for ps2 so i am partially biased with that game
never liked any of those MW2 type games and i played Halo about 2 hours before i traded it back in when i first got my xbox. I hate Linear locked into only one way to go,only one path to choose games
and im clueless on what RB2 is?
