[quote name='dannyox718']Hey, I'm cool with your opinions about the game, as well as those of others that love this game to death. But I still don't agree with the above statement. You can make all the comments you want about hating a game, but please don't project your opinions and make statements that may or may not be true as if it is in fact truth. I just want to point out some other possible reasons for the price drop, is all.[/QUOTE]
I actually fully agree with your initial response to my post, don't get me wrong, plenty of popular games go on sale and it doesn't reflect a lack of quality. My point about the price had more to do with the fact that many people, in both Japan and the US, traded this game in quickly after its release.
How many people were so quick to trade in Final Fantasy 7 or more modern games that have been critically praised (since that would be a better comparison). A ton of people bought this game because they bought in to the hype, heck I bought it for the same reason, as a fan of FF on the PS1. We all thought it was going to be incredible, it looked incredible ... but I felt it really fell flat after playing it. I'm guessing a lot of other people did too since the game was traded in so quickly. I've always felt that games people love don't get traded in with such a mass volume suddenly appearing.
But back to your point, I agree, and again my point was saying look at the fact that there were so many trade ins and the fact that the price has been lowered, and then I simply stated the reason why in my personal opinion. Not trying to come off as a purveyor of truth, simply sharing my personal experience regarding the game and reasons I think the price might be lower.
[quote name='eastx']Okay, but he didn't say his opinion is fact.
Gotta disagree with Etcrane about the Gears of War series, though. The core gameplay is quite fun to me, regardless of how much variety it has. And multiplayer extends it quite a lot too.[/QUOTE]
Totally understandable, we all have our preferences and likings and I know Gears has a huge following. I actually enjoyed Gears 1 the first time I played it, it just didn't stand up for me over time. And I'll be honest, I actually prefer the MP and gameplay in Halo to Gears ... so there's some ammunition for anyone wanting to critique my game preferences
. Gears 1 was solid for what it was, I just didn't really like it on a personal level, but I respect your opinion.
