I wasn't gaming as extensively then as I am now. And Nintendo is usually the odd man out in regards to launch games. Usually.Mr C said:Not picking on this chap in particular, but this is a common theme throughout this thread. You all must be young whipper snappers as I remember Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 being launch titles. They were both awesome, they still are!Casual Shinji said:Launch games are always not great.
In a world where 8/10 is an average AAA score. Do you not recall the backlash Greg Tito got for giving GTA 5 a 7/10?Hazy992 said:In what world is a 74 a bad game? If a game that I'm interested in has a score like 74 then it tells me that I should still check it out.
On Metacritic there are more games with a score of 90 and higher then than 40 and lower released this year, Just under 50% of games have a meta critic score of 75 and up... You can more or less take 5 of the final score and use the scores like a five star rating.Hazy992 said:In what world is a 74 a bad game?

Must. Resist. Fanboy urge. To cuss you out. BLARRG!Robert Kalmar said:I'm sorry, but I have to do this. "Sony is DOOOOOMED, there are no GAAAAAAAMES! They should stick to making cd players and TVs!". I thinks it's unfair that there are only dumb Nintendo doomsayers. Seriously, i'm not that surprised. Outside of FF15 and MGS5 I didn't found anything interesting in the upcoming library of games for the PS4 and I would say that there is a 99% chance that they will be ported to the PC. PC is the fastest growing market these days and I think MGS5 is already announced for PC and Nomura said, that they are making FF15 for the PC, then downgrade it for the consoles. My prediction is that the PS4's sales won't meet Sony's or anybody else's (read: Sony fanboys) expectations. They will be higher, than the Wii U's, but not that amazing.
Yeah but a 74 is not enough to convince non-target-audience gamers to pick it up. Which is what most bloated publishers aim for. Universal appeal.Hazy992 said:In what world is a 74 a bad game? If a game that I'm interested in has a score like 74 then it tells me that I should still check it out.
Actually I was joking and making fun of the Anti-Nintendo Squad. It's just so stupid to say doom and gloom about a hardware that's not even 1 year old. PS3 had a bad first year, 3DS had a bad first year, yet both of them came around, when good software is released. Maybe the PS4 is much stronger, but until the games are released for the current gen machines I wouldn't predict total dominance of the PS4. Until CoD, Battlefield, FIFA and Madden is released on PS3/Xbox360 people won't care to buy a new console. Most people won't even notice the difference in graphics... It's not like last gen, when the polygon count quadrupled and every game has fancy shader effects.MrHide-Patten said:Must. Resist. Fanboy urge. To cuss you out.

That's all well fine and for you not to find particular games interesting and thus system is doomed without them, but other people have different tastes. People love the shit out of Angry Birds enough to justify make sequels than there are Nintendo generations, doesn't mean I have to like it.
And to use one that's a bit closer to home, I didn't feel compelled to buy a 3DS or just Pokemon again, that's justifiable to a lot of people (as the sales have proven) not myself personally.
The reason there are Nintendo doomsayers is because: a) there isn't a Wii Sports to suck in the casuals and gimmick isn't as esay to sell, b) it's been buggerising around for a year now with without the big franchises to boost sales, and c) the hardware gap between it an the Xbone/PS4 is steep enough that it's going to/is driving away 3rd party games.
Sorry to jump up your ass on your first post but... yeah.
In a world where anything less than 10/10 "Metal Gear is a PERFECT GAME" by paid off reviewers is unacceptable is where.Hazy992 said:In what world is a 74 a bad game? If a game that I'm interested in has a score like 74 then it tells me that I should still check it out.
Sega Megadrive/Genesis - Golden Axe.Evonisia said:They're launch titles, of course they aren't going to be received well. Which console has had a good start/decent launch titles? I've heard that the Dreamcast did but we all know how that turned out.
Forgive me if I am reading this wrong, but neither of those titles were first party. Both actually came out for the Sega Saturn. Wipeout was by Psygnosis, though the franchise was purchased by Sony later. Toshinden was by Tamsoft and actually got a Gameboy release in addition to the Saturn and PC.Thr33X said:Here's a history lesson for you. Launch titles, ESPECIALLY first party launch titles...suck. Sony has historically only released one or two first party games at launch of of each of the previous generations and only in the case of the PS1 which saw Battle Arena Toshinden and Wipeout were their real standouts that became Playstation franchises.
So I'm an idiot? Nice.josemlopes said:Because they are idiots that need to have the new shiny gadget. There are still a shitload of games coming to this gen, some even exclusive like Dark Souls 2 or Gran Turismo 6.WeepingAngels said:So why did so many pre-order a PS4 knowing that launch titles suck?
