"DICE stated that it was a misunderstanding"
No misunderstanding, the lawsuit hurt them bad so now they're backtracking.
Good Blog and I agree on a few points. I have BF3 and I may not have MW3 yet(I'll probably get in the future) but I hate it when on almost every other BF3 article, there is some guy who has to say that BF3 is going to be better than MW3.
Let's assume for a sec that "MW3 = MW2.5" and "MW2=MW1.5". Considering the fact that you liked MW1 and MW3 is "the same game with new maps". What's the problem? You should be liking it too, no? "...
Metacritic has their own way of calculating the metascore.It's not merely an average. Credible sites have more weight given to their score
Why has microsoft "lowered the standards" this gen?
All he said was to give the game an honest and fair review, he never asked for a 100%. Telltale employees gave their game a 100%. This website is severely misinformed and is looking for hits.
They can play the single player
But Kojima also said that all of his future games will use the Fox engine and will be multi-platform.
Just saying.
OT- I doubt there will be any real info about MGS5. I mean he still has Rising to ship!
A zero is pretty harsh and unless a game is completely broken to the point of being unplayable for even 5 straight minutes, no game deserves such a score.
Assuming he is using the normal rating system, its overly harsh and a lot of people have spent time making the game, credit should be given to that.
@da_2pacalypse
Bodycount was published by Codemasters. What u talkin bout?
If the game isn't as satisfying as it was 10 years ago, compared to today's titles, then critics have a right to decrease the score. You can't compare it to 10 year old games.
OT- Great score for an FPS classic but I just hope it isn't buried under the November line-up.
I hope it's on the 360
Slicing and dicing in the third person view
It's the sign that the reign of the Playstationeers over N4G is finally coming to an end. Muhuhahahahaha!!!
I win!!! Boo-Yea! Thanks N4G.
And yeah, Odion's right. Very few people post in the forums.
I have seen this quite a few times in the SP campaign but not in the multiplayer, that's why I didn't mention it
Wait, what?
Not sure if serious.
EDIT - I changed the score to 9.2 as I didn't realise that I could give scores on a 100 point scale
The thing about Reach is that there are huge number of game modes and there are several lulz moments in the multiplayer. I haven't experienced severe frame drops. I'd give it a 9.5, but since there's no option for that, I decided to give it a 10.
Why would they release such a big game in summer? Holiday season for sure.
If it were the devs call, they'd do new stuff but it isn't. I hope you know that.
And I disagree with your list. You just wanna bash the big boys, there are far worse devs out there that make buggy, unplayable games and not games that get critical acclaim from the devs you listed here.
