You are probably the only hero

So PSZero came out today and apparently, nobody gives a hoot. There’s nary a review or an ad for the game to be seen on all of the internet. It’s almost impossible to find in physical stores and is certain to be a financial flop. Shocking, I know.

    Sega’s official PSZ page says that the game is in stores today, November 12, so I’m hoping that’s why I didn’t see this in Target when I checked last night. We’ll see if my adventure to Best Buy tonight fares any better.

    You just made my day with this post. I had completely forgotten the release date. :3

    Oh, now I finally get what’s going on in this picture. That’s pretty morbid.

    I had to order the game off the internet because no local stores had it. I can’t wait until the end of this month though when all I’ll see in stores is SONIC AND MARIO AND SONIC AND MARIO AND SONIC AT THE WINTER OLYMPICS AND SONIC AND MARIO

    That’s odd. I didn’t have much trouble finding the game yesterday.

    Oh well, might as well post my FC info:

    Yeah, Sega has done practically zero promotion for this game. It’s pretty sad.

    And nothing of value was lost. :[

    Probably a bad idea to release any games during CoD6’s week.

    I pirated it and then played it for about 10 minutes. Is it still too soon to NOSTALGIA over BB.

    Good god this game kicks so much ass. It’s not enough of a departure from PSO for it to have become a full fledged console game, but for what it is its amazing fun. Still ten times the game PSU , PSP, or PSP:2 will ever be.

    i was in gamestop last night for the midnight release of Assassin’s Creed II and Left 4 Dead 2 and i saw a couple of these on the shelves already (probably having been out for the next morning).

    Jebus, I didn’t even know it was coming out!
    It’s been totally overshadowed, PSO was the game that made my pre-teen life but the advertising has been played down and down since.
    Shame on Sega.

    Sega, you do know you released a game, right? This wasn’t something some Black Ops section of Sonic Team did under your nose, was it?

    Matt, come online so I can gossip to you about the plot of the game.

    It’s pretty good.

    I tried playing PSU again like a year ago and found the servers to be almost entirely empty. It is very sad, I loved it when it first came out! Everyone seems to have hated it though and I dunno why. I guess the whole lack of content thing which I never ran into because I didn’t play 80 hours a week.
