Hello.

Eurogamer.es : The Ghostbusters: The Videogame is the answer to the hidden dream of millions of kids during the 80 imagined picking up his team of protons and fasten the zipper brown monkey out to save the city assembled in the Ecto-1. This is the premise with which the Texan studio Terminal Reality will have the game and is something that is noted in each of the bits that compose it. What we have once adrenalitic their 8 hours of ectoplasmatic fun is the observation that is as close as we ever be a Ghostbusters.

Nice!

But honestly, reviews don't mean a thing to me. I only trust first-hand experience.

numbers have no meaning, if one follows reviews they should at least read it and come to their own conclusion.

That's the very reason why I like Kotaku's reviews format:

  • The game's description
  • What they loved
  • What they hated
  • Conclusion

Period. No damn scores.

I like Kotaku's take on reviews too. I usually rely pretty heavily on gameplay videos to determine if I'll like a game or not.

Interesting. The site that recently scored inFamous as a 7 has given Ghostbusters a 9. Something smells...odd....

A good review offers all that too, if you're willing to look past the numerical score.

That is pretty cool. If this game truly is good then it will be another classic movie that makes a good game. The Warriors was another one.

Eurogamer is not reliable. Most of their scores represent absolute incompetence.

according to them..
Resident Evil 5: 7/10
Fable 2: 10/10
Dead Space: 7/10
MGS4: 8/10

The score they gave unreleased games like Infamous and Ghostbuster mean nothing

No, has nothing to do with that. If anything I would think the opposite. I'm more beginning to question they're taste/judgement and its relation to my own. Their review of MGS4 was the beginning of the end of my respect for their reviews. If you trust them, fine by me.

Exactly. RE5 I can agree with, but Fable 2 getting a 10, and MGS4 getting an 8(not to mention how poor the actual review itself was) Oh man... It makes me laugh.

When i hear the ghostbuster theme tune, then i'll be sold. It deserves at least a 7 for that.

Same here, RE5 kind of deserves a 7.0 ...the other scores are hilarious without mention the recent 7.0 given to inFamous , not reliable at all.

Yea, I saw that too... That really caught me by surprise. I haven't read up much on the game as it doesn't really interest me... but I'll wait for the video reviews before writing it off.

Looking at those other review scores, it seems to be a pretty unreliable source. I think the Gamespot and IGN reviews will be closer to the mark.

OMG thats horrible!!! Fable 2 got a 10?? Yeah, man, screw those guys because if they gave that game a 10 then their view of video games is far different from mine. RE5 I also agree with, but DeadSpace a 7? MGS4 an 8!?? What kind of games do you guys like to play over there in Europe?? Apparently crappy ones. Anyway, it seems you should bump each game down or up two scores to get the actual, justifiable score. That's make it Ghostbusters a 7, Deadspace a 9, RE5 a 9, MGS4 a 10, and Fable 2 an 8... Wait... Fable 2 destroyed my theory. It'd actually need about 4 points subtracted. :lol:

I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but they just may be getting paid to review certain games well. As we all know their console doesn't sell nearly as well as the PS3 over there.

They removed the actual review. You can't read it anymore. Something about Sony and beurocratic embargos... lol Anyway, is this a Sony exclusive or something? They referred to Sony as if they are the game's publisher. I thought it was multi-plat.

Well, I don't see why they'd stop a site that just gave them a 9/10. I'd let 'em run with it myself! :) At any rate, the site said that once they are inside a certain timeframe they'll be able to put it back up for all to read.

Why does anyone even post these types of topics? All it accumulates to is a bunch of people putting down the reviewer, and or thinking their opinion is held in higher regard.

Some people completely put the game down without even playing it ..

'Tis a sad day ..

Some people like it .. some people won't .. to this day some people still don't understand that ..

:lol:

Well I come here to read topics .. and some people around here know I like to read them all ..

But why can't people keep their dicks in their pants and just accept someone elses opinion about a game.

People tend to lose the focus of what the topic is suppose to be about .. the discussion about the game itself. Yet people get on their high horse and begin putting down the person/site that reviewed it .. and they start an unnecessary battle ..

I wanted to come in here and see what people had to say about the game, instead all I got was people questioning the review site, and links to why they thought it was a wrong score. Or questioning them for a score they gave one of THEIR favorite games, so that means everyone has to like it or think it's a 10.

These things just get to me .. ;)

Well, I can't argue with that. We did get a bit off topic there. You're right. People won't always agree with a review because all reviews are basically subjective and can completely differ from the way you see things. I guess we were all kind of shocked at how we ALL disagreed with some of that sites review scores, and were basically deeming them unreliable. Unreliable, though, only because they were SO off from everyother review site and our own personal opinions. I mean, c'mon... Fable 2 a 10/10? Seriously?? :lol: Anyway, I see where you're coming from. Sorry about that, dude.

Wow. Way to sound like a punk. I played the demo at Comic Con. It was a blast. I loved it. Definitely getting this game.
