I'll stick with valuing my own opinion over some random "journalist" thank ya.
Winner - Not hardcore gamers.
Reviews scores don't necessarily mean the "best".
Then why have scores at all. Thanks for proving my point I harp on incessantly. :)
MGS3: Subsistence for me. :)
Do I win a prize or something when/if the PS3 passes the 360 in WW sales? Are both consoles not a success? Are both not going to be around until the end of this generation?
I love how the media and fanboys stir up this wonderful "finish line" for their MIGHTY war... race... thing.
Sales are all that matters. Until it's a positive for a PS3 exclusive.. then they don't. Silly posters.
Hahah wow, I really think a group of PS3 fanboys raped this guy's mom, because he has a freaking vendetta against them. I could bring up the same argument with the MGS4 to 360 "will it/won't it" BS, and how it's an "overrated movie/best game ever" back and forth... but it's Destructoid, so screw it.
Pot. Kettle. Quality journalism it be not.
"probably because it's not Final Fantasy."
Conversely, just because it IS Final Fantasy doesn't mean it should get a free pass if there are genuine flaws with it.
"You got to stop with all the "reviews dont count" nonsense"
Reviews do count somewhat. They are a good way to INFORM yourself of a purchase via the opinions of another. But people today treat them as law, that's what disappoints me.
Review SCORES, however, don't count for sh1t. Believing arbitrary numbers matter is the real nonsense here. Unless you really can tell me the difference between a 9.5 and a 9.6? I'm sure you've seen Sessler's rant abo...
I find this a good thing. Last year was saturated by FPS. Now if only they'd bring back more platformers...
Yes, because a reviewer's opinion is ALWAYS RIGHT. ;-)
Well, look at my examples as well, as most are from the FF franchise. Have JRPGs stagnated? Have they taken a turn for the worse? Are reviewers bored with them in general, or just this guy? I couldn't tell ya.
You really shouldn't care about the scores anyways, it's what is written that is most important. If the game truly is a hallway/linear title without much room for customization as I've been hearing, I'll be disappointed. Just because it has the FF name on it doesn't mean it...
I don't understand why you'd think that western reviewers don't like JRPGs? Check out the scores for FFVII, VIII, IX, X, XII, Persona 3, Persona 4...
It's entirely possible that FFXIII simply just isn't all that ya know? Or that it left out enough of the JRPG formula to make it disappointing for some fans.
LOL.
Wow, sad. Do you even know how these scores are "computed?"
Some guy basically says "I'll give it this arbitrary number!"
But hey, glad it means so much to ya son. :)
Oh my backlog is freaking massive. But, I'm doing it anyways. Poor, poor wallet.
My purchase of LP2 hinges greatly on whether or not they include splitscreen. I pray they do.
I'm getting both.
While Morgan is being melodramatic, i still agree with him. Dead Space was awesome and filled the horror void left with RE5 being all actiony.
sigh. I LIKED being scared by Dead Space... now they tear it away from me? Weak sauce.
Soooo... the summary is.... people have differing opinions on a piece of entertainment?
Hmmm. Weird.
In other news, sky blue, grass green.
Huga is right. Reviews are good to inform, but review SCORES are utterly useless and 100% arbitrary.
