Of a 360 exclusive. All these media sources are so quick to rip the heck out of a PS3 game but also so quick to defend a 360 exclusive with their lives!!! This compared to Haze's reviews last week is quite interesting to sit back and watch. If you needed any more proof of a slightly biased media, I don't know where you'd get it.
Haha, fun times!
Yeah, must be the PS3's fault. Development for the camera must have been too difficult, right Shane Kim?
It makes perfect sense to me to send critics an unpolished version of your game. I mean, really, why give the people who provide initial opinion of a product's overall outcome a finished product to review for the gaming community? It's not like reviews matter in this industry or anything.
Oh, and for this pathetic site, why supply a source when releasing news like this? It's not like it's important to reveal the one giving you info that goes against the media's perspective of a...
Obviously the difficult development process of the PS3 caused for NG II to be far less of a game than it could have been.
Notice how both complain about the same thing and yet IGN is 1.7 points higher? In fact, the only reason the metascore is over an 8.0 is because of that IGN review.
Now, consider last week when they over-obliterated HAZE in comparison to the 6.0-6.5 media average. hmmmm....underscore a third-party Sony exclusive then overscore a third-party 360 exclusive....
Interesting.
Screw Free Radical. Haze was okay, but they talked a lot of smack and then dropped a bomb. They disrespected the gamerbase and told us all to shut up and wait when they couldn't justify the del-aze and now they're right back on the horse with Timesplitters 4, a game they couldn't shut up about during Haze's development.
Something tells me that FR were more concerned with this game than Haze during dev time. That to me is a bit of an insult as someone who was looking forward to ...
Let's see....
1) Insult Gears of War in comparison to Halo: CHECK!
2) Insult other potential sellers coming out this year: CHECK!
3) SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!: NOT YET DONE
4) GET FIRED: WELL ON MY WAY!
This man is an idiot. Then again, as a SONY fan, I'm kinda happy he is.
Damage control indeed....and I though Haze's IGN developer response was bad - lying about framerate issues being only in the review build? Yeah, ok!
Completely untrue. I beat Sigma on Normal dying a good number of times but usually due to an unbalanced blocking system or the camera completely screwing me over. And for the record, many sources claim Sigma to be harder than NG: Black.
The story of the series is horrible, no cinematic atmosphere. The skill is all about timing, nothing more. Once the time comes, buttonmashing is just as evident as it is in HS or GOW. And in terms of difficulty, quite frankly, there is a differe...
Nothing wrong with an 8.7 for a normal game, but this was Ninja Gaiden. This is a low score.
Ouch....first Haze no this?
lol, not likely!
Good to hear I'm not alone on this one. lol, aside from the don't cause flamebait bit of the comment. I've been a good citizen as of late, time to be a jerk.
Edit: this will be my only mock post of the month, and atleast I'm not talking in first person like a good friendly Dark Sniper we all know, right?
I'll take MGS4 over this any day of the week. I actually hated NG: Sigma and thought Heavenly Sword was a funner game. Then of course there is Wardevil and GOW3 that will just own this thing next year. Forget it.
We best get a midnight launch here in America at all EB Games/Gamestops!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Blackberry owner, I couldn't agree with you more! Playing games? That's what I've got a PS3 for.
Don't forget he also ripped Heavenly Sword for the button sequences. He deserves this.
