I also dislike hype but its just the way things are right now in the videogame industry. Good games these days can’t sell by themselves and is usually the mediocre ones that have a movie-tie in or huge amounts of hype that sells. Maybe if Capcom would’ve made more effort into marketing Okami, it would’ve sold more copies.

Well said Monir. When will they get it through their thick skulls that hype doesn’t equal an actually compelling game but all those silly Halo dick riders will foolishly take the bait. I dislike fanboys but I hate Halo fanboys. Master Chief is like a green storm storm trooper fused with Samus in a half-assed storyline game with total emphasis in multiplayer. There you go I said it. I practically summed up the whole Halo series.
