With posts like these, I'm wondering why you don't have 8 or 9 bubbles by now. Perhaps you're TOO kind for this place :P.

Funny enough, I can actually agree that having more gaming sites switch over from grades to just written material in some cases. I can't imagine there would've been any fallout of honestgamer's credibility had that reviewer who gave UC3 a 4/10 just ended with "It's not bad, but I can't recommend it to anyone" a...

Tough to rely on those PC numbers since so many sales on the PC are made digitally.

Sigh...another game to buy. At least it's cheap.

^Then why are you jumping to conclusions?

@JellyJelly

That's expected I suppose but why should Battlefield 3 be the ultimate divider between tactical and arcadey? Why can't Arma II be the deciding factor for that? It just seems that we arbitrarely use these words as if to smear a game before even considering another perspective.

Although I disagreed, I had to give + bubbles for such a well-stated piece. I personally don't want the removal of scores altogether because they're so inherent to our nature thanks to schooling-and other activities. Since childhood, we've needed some kind of stamp or medal that marks our success when words can be easily forgotten. It's just how these numbers are interpreted by the average user that needs an overhaul.

Just like in my Social Network part o...

That's a bit rough to call people a moron over that. I personally hold back a word like "arcadey" to see what they actually mean. Considering that I've always seen arcade FPS MP's to be the types where everyone starts out with the same weapon, and the power-ups/better weapons can only be attained at certain parts of the map, don't see CoD's killstreak playtype as an "arcade" shooter just like I don't see Counterstrike's purchasing system as an...

Spending spree? When gold's at an all-time high?

Todd Mcshea has some new enemies.

Enjoyable review with some fine details. It's cool to see how well the animations have progressed in the UC series.

I'm not trying to say we should disregard MC entirely or not have a central hub for game review scores. My goal was a bit different in this blog.

"When it comes to GOTY worthiness, there is no real barometer"

When looking at certain posts on here, I don't think that's the case. I sometimes get the feeling that some people fail to recognize that both a 9 and a 10-and everything in between-fall under the category for "universa...

They haven't announced anything for PS3 at this moment. It's tough to see a PS3 port coming into fruition IF they're also planning on making Witcher 3.

It would seem wise to wait and see what the future holds because the dev never ruled it out either.

Don't spend it all in one place :P

Says GOTY nominee which doesn't necessarily mean they predict it to win GOTY. I think the article just wants LBP2 to be nominated for the sake recognizing it. Same goes for Hollywood: Does anyone REALLY expect a Pixar movie to win Best Picture, like Up or Toy Story 3? Short answer would be no; however, just recognizing a cartoon G movie's ability to convey emotionally powerful scenes on par with more "grounded" movies released that year is considered a huge honor to the gu...

I PM'd one previous reviewer and mentioned it on the other's comment section stating that they can just copy/pasta + resubmit their review and I'd be one of the five to approve it.

It's unfair for those opinions to be discounted from the "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" pool-the one everyone sees on the front page-simply because of human error.

Edit: If any other poster see this message, plz go through through the recent rev...

You gave it a lower score than the original BIOSHOCK! (Mega64 reference)

"Objectively speaking, was Conviction better at being the game it is than UC3 is at being the game it is?"

You didn't take my first reply to heart. This question already failed when you added the words "objectively speaking" to ask me-a normal human being with biases-to make a comparison.

Objectively speaking, I'll say this, I've never come across a single person without his/her own opinion, therefore making their opini...

Although I agreed with your statement overall, I'd like to point out Resistance 3 fares very well for the SP-only gamer imo.

You never know what kind of replay value Infinite may have. With the probability of story-based DLC, Infinite could be more than just a rental.

@Your edit

Can't edit my first reply. I see, thx for clarifying.
