Yet every Mario game comes out gets a free pass 9 score. How much has that franchise changed? How about Mario Kart? Games that have a good formula don't stray much from it. How about COD, each one scores well each iteration, what changes have they made? What a shitty excuse to rate a game down, the way it was originally made is now a negative? These reviewers get worse each review.
Exactly, look at Bioshock, released around COD4 and sold very well, it didn't need to be anything but Bioshock and the game performed great critically and commercially, same as Left4Dead, came out in 2009 right around W@W when COD was already popular and did very well. Problem is Publishers who front the money to make the game, they're primarily to blame. They push the devs to make the games a specific way rather than give them the freedom to create what they envisioned.
wow you really troll dead space articles, get a life.
This game is awesome, best part is I never saw it coming. I didn't have any hope for MGR and it turned out to be the best game I have played recently.
Give it a rest and get off the Dead Space hate bandwagon, the game was extremely long as far as single player campaigns are concerned and the game was good. This is more content for fans, stop the hate for Dead Space.
great, another game I will be passing on because of the screen tearing that comes included in almost every unreal engine game and has been par for the course for this franchise since arkam asylum.
In all fairness, bro's before ho's is a corny cliche line. Anyone that likes the name of the trophy is probably 15-18 with an IQ sub 80. They should have known better, and like I said, it's corny as hell. Like totally dude, bro's before ho's, ya dude. Sounds pretty fucking stupid doesn't it.
This game is antiquated crap now that we have a proper ninja game, that being Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.
Really? Skyrim on 360 is a screen tearing mess, at least the PS3 version is v-synced and doesn't have a fucking line in the middle of the screen more than 75% of the time like the 360 version. Oh wait, you didn't play the PS3 version and probably have no clue what screen tearing is, hence your ignorant statement.
@ Decrypt, nice stealth trolling there.
The Helios head rip absolutey trumps this crap in terms of violence.
I fucking love when developers use V-Sync to their advantage and eliminate screen tearing, the game just looks and feels soooo much more cinematic. I prefer a few dropped frames and a bit of slowdown over my character and the environments getting cut in half everytime a big explosion occurs or there's a ton of action on screen. Also, years from now, the game will still look good because it plays so clean. Unlike say Gears of War which in years from now will look like shit because of the r...
I don't agree with you on the 7.5 for gameplay, this game is the best ninja game I have ever played and Blade Mode is just genius. The gameplay is very well done and reviewing it on it's own merits I would give it a 9. Platinum Games did a great job here. I also don't understand how everyone just plows through this game so fast, they must be playing it on easy or using some kind of help. I'm 8 hours in and I still haven't finished it, though I have replayed a few sections....
Who really cares that much? So many damn games have came out recently and there's still God of War and Bioshock for me. I have purchased Dead Space 3, Metal Gear Rising, Crysis 3 so I'm not worried much by this, I have a lot to play still.
This is a quality game, I don't care what anyone says.
ha ya gears lol
Is this the same person above me on all three accounts? Wow.
I hope this game has a scary co op horde type mode, something darker and more mature than Uncharted's co op modes. Surviving those creatures with limited ammo and baseball bats with a friend on a dark map would be pretty nice.
Agree, an 8/10 is completely acceptable. Maybe the game is a 9 or 10, however, everyone's opinion is different and as long as the reviewer at least recognizes the game is solid(reflected by his score) it's a good review. He didn't give the game a 6/10 which would be average to below average, 8/10 is good, he may just not be a rabid fan of God of War, still recognized the game is good though. A fan of the series probably would review it a 9 or 10. Anything less than an 8/10 for a g...
At least mention a good game like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.
