Great demo, Sanzaru nailed it
metacritic's math is biased. they have a hate on for this game for some reason. why? The law of averages is universal. Add up every score and divide by the number of scores. THAT'S what makes an average. Grade school math.
In this case, last time i checked today, NiNoKuni worked out to 88.5...yet the meta avg sits 2.5 points LOWER at 86, where it remains. And its NOT slow to update, because as soon as the 7/10 reviews hit it lowered...but it doesn't go up.
<...
"the titular White Witch isn't mentioned by name until 40-plus hours into the game"
OMFG, not only did the review say this but they also copy pasted it again in bold print lol. This matters to people?! lmao, what next?
"Resident Evil doesn't actually take place in a residence, possessed or otherwise, 6.5/10"!
"Final Fantasy is a lie, as it's had 13+ sequels, not very final is it?"
...
Shouldn't be, metacritic dropped 1up well over a year ago.
Hey I got 10 disagrees just for paraphrasing the article lol. "Jerry admits he was wrong". Some people can't read.
Of course Lambert knows he was wrong. The way the internet blew up with 'Kevin Butler has a Wii in a Bridgestone commercial', that was all Sony needed right there. Tell the judge to hit google, see everyone using the Kevin Butler name as proof of brand confusion and bang, case closed.
Just glad they settled and can move on. No Jerry Lambert video game hocking for 2 more years as per the settlement. Admits he did it while still under a Sony contract. The fact people ...
another great score. wtf is up with metacritic under-tracking this game though, average wise?! the avg -should- be a 86 not 84 http://www.metacritic.com/g...
The 8 scores up right now add up to 689. Divide by 8 = 86...not 84. Add the Eurogamer score on there and it's still an 86 avg. Wtf lol, an aggregate that can't do simple math?
...
o rly?
LBP by Media Molecule over 5 million
GOW 3 by Santa Monica over 5 million
Uncharted 2 by Naughty Dog over 6 million
Halo 4 by 343, their -only game-, 7 million
math ain't your forte I'm guessing. garbage list anyways.
You namedrop Nintendo but do you even have a clue how many times Nintendo has been up and down? Last online, last to disc, last to HD. One gen' ago Nintendo lost America too, selling only 25 million GameCubes worldwide. Fast forward one gen and they're back at #1.
MS likewise hasn't "humiliated" anyone. They've yet to even win a console gen sales wise, and are en route for 3rd again, while the WiiU struggles to gain 3rd party support. Momentum shif...
Everyone had a messed up 2012. What was Microsoft's last big blockbuster between Gears 3 -Nov 2011- and Halo 4 -Nov 2012-?
In that same space, two Fable games bombed as did an Alan Wake digital sequel. Flagship Forza barely sold a million and Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings only did half that. Akai Katana sold like 20,000. Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor estimated around 60,000 with a metacritic avg of 38/100.
Difference is, they didn't even -have- a...
It will?
God of War 3 sold over 5 million http://www.siliconera.com/2... , THE SAME as Gears of War 3.
Why on earth would anyone even think to insinuate that God of War Ascension is gonna sell 5X less than Gears of War Judgment?! They projecting Gears of War Judgment to sell 25 million, lol? 100 billion million sales of Gea...
Irrelevant? Well, I guess they could you know, start a year before everyone else and just lead that way. Win that one horse race, like a boss. A BOWSE!
This. You know how many patents these companies have filed just for the sake of filing?
It's all a moot point, since the industry is going more and more digital and will eventually be overtaken. When's the last time you traded in an XBLA digital download to Gamestop, or bought a Steam download used from 7-11? Umm, never? exactly. What's a used 0100001001011 look like?
When your blog starts off with:
"I pick up games released for the XBOX 360 relegating the PlayStation 3 to Blu-ray playback duties..."
and you END the article with:
"Stay posted for next week’s installment in the “Why I Hate…” series as I reflect upon the Nintendo Wii..."
Well damn lol. Can't wait for week three's "why I fap to" conclusion. Wonder who wins? Hint: he's already ...
@Dirty
Facts? How did Forza Horizons and Forza 4 do -combined- next to the very same GT5, or GT5 Prologue demo? http://www.polyphony.co.jp/...

Hmm. F...
lol, pretty darn sure MS charges for remakes as well!
RE4 HD, RE:CodeVeronica HD, DMC HD, Silent Hill HD, Zone of the Enders HD, MGS HD, PeaceWalker HD, the upcoming Hitman HD. Try walking out of Walmart with Halo Anniversary without paying for it. I'd like to know what happens. :p
Q1 is too crazy. Agree with him on that.
Disagree where he jabs that only Mass Effect sells for EA. Mass Effect has never even broken 3 million a pop on any given platform http://www.vgchartz.com/gam... .
Battlefield 3 estimates alone are more on PS3/360 combined than -every- Mass Effect combined ever. What's up Sess??? FIFA. 'nuff said.
@aquamela
But it's -not- a $60 game with any kind of EA Day 1 DLC or online pass. WTF lol.
"What would people say if it was a sandwich?"
@streetsofRage
You said the 360 has more multiplayer options and listed a whopping TWO exclusives...then proceeded to list SIX exclusives for PS3. 2 > 6 now? "Don't have any options" indeed.
They could've made a whole new IP for what they spent on the Halo Doritos/MountainDew/MasterCard /David Fincher/Forward Unto Dawn/Liechtenstein cosplay/launch parties/Thames glyph/Double-XP-under-the-cap ad campaign.
Battlefield 3, Star...
@angelicicediamond
You clearly haven't done your homework. Like, at all. It's almost scary.
God of War was successful, both part 3 and the HD collection sold millions and have meta averages over 90%.
MAG didn't fail lmao, it was a new IP online only shooter that sold over a million, better than games like Crackdown 2 and Forza Horizons.
Yakuza 3 sold over a million too.
Motorstorm sold millions to...
