But that is not what this blog is about
It's about how a fair rating could and should be created rather than a rating system purely dependent on emotional response
I think Emotional Response is part of the review equation but not all.
Considering the trouble Niko gets into in Liberty City I would think Croatia deported him....
"Although we have seen an extremely low volume of contacts to our customer service department regarding such an issue, we want to ensure that every consumer has a great experience on our console and with GTA IV."
and that says it all...
the issue is rare but it does effect some people.
A fix is needed but it's not a rush in the big scheme of things.
Halo is all about Balance in multiplayer
Haze is the opposite it's about asymmetric warfare.
Halo - aliens
Haze - Humans
Halo - vast invasion
Haze - personal discovery, and who are the bad guys even?
you need to try the game - it's hugely popular among the RPG/Tactics set in Japan.
It's considered a genre defining game (and Sega back on top)
Been online most of the day. Oo
Graphics do hurt it but the game is excellent anyways ^_^
My feelings have always been Storyline > Graphics but both should be excellent for the best of breed.
Gamelocking bugs are a no no in my mind for releasing a product - so while it was awesome they released it it probably should have been QA's a bit more before release...they delayed it once - they probably should have a 2nd time. (otoh that evil EA thing forced their hand)
as a big UK review site put it:
...
Otoh nightvision, faster aiming, etc all make a mantel trooper be all they can be...
memistors... well they have been long theorized but I didn't expect to see on for a while yet
Should be cool - they do have some serious benefits (1 circuit = 1 bit rather than a collection of circuits)
so cooler running mem
higher density of mem on same size silicon
the real question is the speed it can flip at....
oh I totally agree... removing stupid scores since they mean nothing anyway.
I still am excited about it... not like I was at launch though
It still sounds like a fun game and if they really did fix the 360 issues it should be a good game as well.
All I can say is...
Finally. ^_^
played GTA 22 hours now... and Witcher is still better
try it ^_-
Gano... mine is a launch 60gig and am 20 hours in with no freezing...
hmm same thing for me
60 gig
no freeze up... Oo
The manga was a blast, the anime fun, the game looks to be channeling it fairly well.. I will have to look more into it!
way violent though and expect a semi depressing storyline.
/facepalm
M rated is M rated... why the hell... I would report that gamestop to their headquarters.
they really need to enforce the ratings by law like with cigarettes and alcohol.
Otoh they made huge mistakes with the initial release and this one fixs many of the issues and comes at a truely budget price.
Been waiting for this game for a long long long long time
now... as a PSN title.. is it NDRM locked to a single account like GT5p and Warhawk are? If so that sucks.
when you base a review on a feeling rather than on rock hard facts you get anomalies in what rating is given... Feelings are only part of the equation. Technical aspects effect how the game plays as well and they can be marked by an objective standard.
