I have the game and am playing through it. I'll put it like this: If you've been sissified by the more mainstream approach brought about by the PS3, 360, Wii gen then you're going to suck at this game and be frustrated by it. If your the type that isn't bothered by, or even prefers, a difficult game that doesn't hold your hand, then you'll love Shadowfall.
This game isn't frustrating to me. I don't even find it to be that difficult once you ge...

That has to be one of the must gullible things I've read in a while. They nerfed the payouts because of people abusing exploits? Who does that hurt, the people rich off of exploits, or the people who were already struggling to make money because they played legit? Stop drinking the Kool Aid.
More than likely this was a fluke, but in the off chance it wasn't, I'll share how I got on.
I was having the same problems connecting to SEN. I already had the update via USB, but I didn't want to start up Killzone before linking my PSN ID, in case any trophies I earned beforehand didn't carry over. Eventually, I said screw it and popped in Killzone. Started messing around at the menu screen and tried to log into the network from in game. Worked on the first...
You get a well said bubble for that, sir. I agree. Keep an eye on it, but it's nothing to go into panic mode about at this point. I'm sure some of the people trying to play this up are the same ones going "nuh-uh" when the 360 had record failure rate, right up until MS finally admitted it.
Would a receiver have worked?
Xbox kinda has an infamous record setting history, dude.
Have you ever heard of the fallacy known as a strawman argument? That's what you did. The point wasn't that if they score higher the reviews must be biased. The point was that the reviews are biased if those titles are reviewed with leniency.
So Knack is designed for young kids (Why is that exactly? It's cartoony? Are Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank designed for young kids?) and this should somehow impact its review score? Honestly, the only shots I ever hear taken at Knack around here are the "it's kiddy" talking point.
As for Killzone, are we really saying that we think the mess that is COD: Ghosts deserves a better rating?
Obviously you have missed something, or are just lying, as I know that I have been ripping Polygon in this comment section, and I've seen others do the same. I even gave credit to one post, which was collapsed for bad language, for hitting the nail on the head in its criticism of Polygon. If you're going to come with a tired talking point at least read through the comments first so that it isn't readily apparent which orifice you pulled it out of.
Can you really blame them? What we all have to understand is that those poor souls are fighting for their jobs. Would you feel too secure working for the official Xbox magazine given how things are going for that brand right now?
Don't be fools. Release it worldwide already. Do you not like making money?
It's a shame Cell989's comment got collapsed for language, because he actually hit the nail on the head with what Polygon is doing here.

Think for yourself. Highest rated does not equal the best. Step back from looking at review scores for a minute and decide what it is you like, or don't like, about games.
This is why I hate review scores. They teach people to look at the rating without examining the actual content of the review. I watched the video for this, and I could easily imagine them switching one of the oft mentioned positives, it's borrowing from other shoot-em-ups,...
It's a way to try to get cred among the gullible. If this game were being put out their as a flagship title, or some sort of AAA exclusive, do you think it would get the same score? I tend to doubt it, as I don't see any way in the world this game is better than TLOU, which according to Polygon it is.
So Knack is about one tier bellow The Last Of Us? Cool. I'll take it.
Good. Review scores are for people too lazy to engage the content of the review, let alone their brains.
If they didn't find out about the screw up until discs went out, it's kind of one of those SOL situations. What else could they do, but put out a day one path, at that point?
He said "mind blown," not "head blown."
You just made me recall playing Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on the PS2. Yeah. I remember running around that room for hours near the end of the game, looking for a way out; wondering why the sand portal wasn't working like it did every other time. I'll take the patches. At least they have a chance of fixing glitches and what not.
WTF are you talking about? I am a console gamer. Even if I had called out console gamers, like you thought, what would that have to do with my points? Try to engage the material you read with more concentration, in the future.
