Don't forget Rock Band 3.
They've always used to be a little harsh, so it's ok if the score is a little lower than the other sites.
This game is gonna blow.
It's about a year, I think, since IGN started giving 8.5 to random games.
I mean, they gave it even to Rock Band 3, which is the best game in the genre, according to... pretty much everyone else.
I used to love IGN once upon a time, now I think they've gone crazy or something. Ignore them.
(Still, 8.5 is a solid score, don't misunderstand me, I just think they gave 9s to games that didn't deserve them)
LOL I missed that.
This guy is really messed up. I bet he didn't even beat the game, like he did with Sonic Unleashed (I think, he might be another one, don't remember lol).
Well no, it isn't in general. But in the world of gaming, scores are usually higher than in other critics such as cinema and music, so an 8.5 can be translated into a 6.5-7.
Which is not low, anyway, but average. And I think this game is awesome, not average.
Good score.
Too bad IGN sucks. Hard.
Finally I can register Portal 2 and play coop. I was dying for it.
Actually Uncharted 2 is one of the easiest platinums out there. God of War isn't difficult too.
I didn't even try to plat GTA and RDR... too much time. I think I'm gonna try with this one.
Never saw a movie like that. Any examples?
Got it. I care more about trophies than achievements, and I don't care about the install. I think I'm gonna get it for PS3.
Are you sure it does run better? Because GTA and RDR had slightly better framerate and resolution on 360.
I know this time it's different because of the lead platform thing, but I want to be sure.
I'm definitely getting this, but... PS3 or 360 version?
I don't care of how much time it takes, but they can't set a time limit and then break it out like they didn't say anything.
This is getting ridiculous. If it takes more time, just say "We're working hard, in the meanwhile, try to get a damn life", rather than something like "PSN is going back online tomorrow!!! Oh wait... no, it's not".
I have to agree with Quagmire. Good game, but crappy storyline...
It would be cool if this update comes also for the console version of the game...
I am already, I was just pointing that out. XD
I can confirm this is on the console version.
It's on the mission "a train to catch", just after the beginning.
... really?
Dude, I shouldn't be the one to tell you this: scores mean NOTHING. They're indicative, and for the most part subjective.
We're not robots, we can't calculate exactly how much a game deserves in a 1-10 scale.
For me, it deserves a 9, and I see almost no difference in giving it a 9.5 (which can be also rounded down, since it's not a 10). You can agree or disagree, that's just normal.
"Only" 9.0? 9 means "almost perfect", I think it's a fair score.
It's the best looking multiplatform game on the market, not the best ever. I would give a 10 to games like Killzone 3, Uncharted 2 or maybe Crysis 1 on PC.
It may be 9.5, it wouldn't make much difference.
@DrHouse: I know Crysis can be defined quite original (I've already talked about that in the review), but it's still a linear FPS. There are some...
They've always been really harsh.
Even LBP 1 and 2 got a 7 from them.
