Why bother constantly scanning metacritic in case in lowers/raises 1 single point? After seeing over a dozen 10/10 reviews, knowing that it sticks to a formula millions enjoy, and hearing that the multiplayer has improved (one of my pet-peeves with UC2) I fail to see why this metacritic-scanning matters.
Is there any doubt that it'll fall below 90 on metacritic, like Gears 3's early 91-ish score? Go buy the game and stop worrying since it'll receive enough awa...

You need to understand how to argue. Let me help you out, in my first reply "You haven't even played it yet" I'm insinuating that gravemaker's post "8 is way too low" has no grounds since HE hasn't played the game yet. Never did I state my knowledge on the game or the review itself, only stating that since the game isn't out yet gravemaker has no right to assume what score is "too low" (neither do I).
You haven't even played it yet.
I finally came around to purchasing Haze, since I was enthralled by the "not-too-distant-future aspect" of the game. The only thing that stands out-for worse-is how is the abysmal dialouge. "Like taking candy from a crippled baby"? Who the hell would write that?
The rest of the list is basically true for anyone who hasn't purchased a PS3 yet.
Although it's impossible to find the article now, Bioware themselves stated "TOR happening doesn't mean KOTOR can't happen" (not verbatim). KOTOR 3 can still happen.
This is still my fav. game of all time. I have confidence that TOR can deliver on the same level for MMO's as KOTOR did for movie-licensed RPG's.
Although a great price (especially bundled with Child of Eden), I find it tough to consider this to be the price where everyone should jump in. Quite frankly, I still think the initial price should've been $99.99 upon the 2010 release.
Many of their fans should try walking in their footsteps.
So now a 4/5 or 8/10 by a reviewer means they don't appreciate the hard work of the developers? I'd like to hear what ND has to say about such an awful statement.

You're playing a comparison game between an FPS's score and a TPS's score (AND only BEING a .2 difference!). tbh, I can't recall another FPS that had the pseudo-future militaristic weapons of MW2. Ex. : Drone attacks, plethora of different attachments, etc. All minor-most definately-but I think people tend to ignore these aspects since they'll harm their arguement.
Shouldn't we, as a community, be more shocked that a gaming site has to justify why they gave a game a 9.3? People practically hanged them for that score, as if they tried to make it out as an atrocity against gaming.
I have a feeling the average n4g user will constantly use this quote, while completely ignoring Carmack's quotes.
Well stated, superman. Don't let me be mistaken, 360 fanboys are going to be bad with Gears 3 and their exclusives as well; the reason I stated UC3 as the example is because it's really the last major HD exclusive to release this year, so the example is more because of timing then anything else. Thank you for your posting, despite this already off of the front page :P.
There are more Splinter Cell games than Conviction. He/She could be harking back to the original SC formula.
One of the greatest game of all time imo. Even in today's age, the immerisive level of picking up a hooker is rarely replicated in other games not called Grand Theft Auto.
The puppy picture alone is enticing enough to read this blog :P.
This is n4g, having a comment laden with disagrees doesn't mean I'm mistaken (could be quite the opposite, knowing this site).
"No why would you make that assumption?"
My reasoning falls back on you insinuating that because the Japanese purchase apple products in other categories (music players, computers, etc.), then there must not be a "console xenophobia", even though there clearly is. Just because an item doesn't sel...
Are you speculating that an apple console would sell like hotcakes over there? Simply saying "they buy apple products" without any other reasoning to combat their xenophobia is just foolish on your part.
"Jim's logic like many others sites... cough coudhg, EDGE, Eurogamer.
Sony+ PS3 + Exclusive = Bad"
This is the BS the majority of the n4g community needs to stop spewing.
