You're right Pro. Frankly, it sucks. Hence why I despise people using scores for anything other than wiping their ass.
Stop playing the victim. plz.
LOL. I like how people STILL hide behind "conspiracy theory" excuses, when time and time again we've seen PROOF.
$800 Halo 3 swag bags anyone?
Bu... bu... conspiracy!
Reviews are a BUSINESS. Businesses are in it to MAKE MONEY. Advertising revenue drives said industry. You piss off the wrong publisher, you don't get free/early access to their games!
Beliefs are not the same as organized religion.
Beliefs are great.
Organized religion just mucks it up.
Though Blaze... I have to wonder... if someone posted "straight and loving it," would they fall under the same ban?
A review can be an honest opinion, but I rarely see that, especially when it comes to the large franchises with a lot of clout. I own L4D, I enjoyed L4D, and will be getting L4D2 when I have time. My beef is with biased reviewers, not "pro 360 reviewers" or "pro Ps3 reviewers" you'll notice. You are misreading me. You seem to think that I am suggesting that they are biased because of the scores they gave L4D2? I did not mean to suggest any such thing. They are biased becau...
People SAID the earth was flat too ya know.
Form your own opinion. The game is solid because it's solid, not because some biased/paid for fanboy slapped some number on it. =)
Disconnect? I think the cutscenes to gameplay flowed better than any game out there.
But it's a funny thing, as one can literally take ANY stance on a title in a review as long as they make valid points. I could make the argument that UC2, Halo 3, MGS4 are all just "meh" experiences and not the perfect titles they are reviewed as, depending on my mood and the tone I wish to convey. Frankly, I don't see a need to make a "count argument" articles for hits, unles...
Wow. You're silly. Is this site one of those "professional critics" that you use to base your own opinion on? If so, kudos to you son.
HAHAHA, your tears feed me child. Moar, moar, cry moar!
Bring back Billy Zane as Xehanort dammit!
That's fine, as only a fool allows his own opinion to be influenced by outside sources. Try thinking for yourself, it's amazing.
- Read anything by Jim Sterling
- Konami flew reviewers to Europe to review MGS4
- MS handed out $800 Halo swag bags for Halo 3 reviewers
- Gametrailers caught faking comparison videos
- Gertsmann fired from Gamespot
- "too much variety"
- Gametrailers contradicting their own UC2 review with MW2 not a month...
Critics can be, and have proven to be, just as biased.
Unusually quiet in here.
Interesting.
And what of those who don't WANT goddamn motion controls on EITHER system?
Well said... except I have to disagree with this - "Sales, reviews, gamers playing...Look up the stats for Xbox 360 games"
Reviews? Really? Time and time again the media review system has been proven to be based on business and politics, and people still go to reviews? Hell, do people realize that even Metacritic plays the bias game by leaving out certain outlets (such as their personal beef with Sessler thus cutting out his reviews, how is that an accurate aggregate I ...
Don't you guys get tired of arguing the same sh1t day in day out?
I'm getting both and will enjoy both. ME1 was way too short though, so hopefully they've fixed that.
It's rather sad that you use arbitrary review scores which are nothing more than someone else's opinion to judge the quality of a title.
Kudos.
Metacritic is a joke. Consider that they keep Sessler's reviews out because of a personal beef with him. How can I consider this source reliable if they let personal squabbles get in the way?
Form your own opinions people. Meta is a joke.
Let the FUD begin.
BTW, Gears faces stiff competition from Quantum. Fact. ;-)
