A conservative figure given how few games, and how few of the true Shovelware like Anubis has been reviewed by Edge


I dont like Edge not because they are harsh, but because they have NO standards and hardly justify their low scores. I mean Dementium got a 5/10

Seems like a conservative estimate to me, I would have said 80-85%

Well that means 35% are good, something most on SW won't even admit to. That's enough GOOD games to keep normal people happy.

Youre right, on PS3/360/PC, 35% is AAA let alone 'just good':P

Nope, on system wars any "real"/"hardcore"/14 year old gamer has to own at least 100 games. Anything less than that is ridiculous. Then you enter reality and it's like the 360 has the highest attach rate and it's only like seven games, if it was even that many.

You think Wii gamers get enough "options" when it comes to games? Was 2008 a good year for Wii gamers? Just how many "good" options came by.... 18? Or was it 19 games?

90% of the games are trash to me. There's not one game that comes to my mind that makes me even care for the Wii, except possibly Metroid.

I didn't think Edge was really respected around here, but that's beside the point. Wii does have a lot of crap games, but other systems do too, and the Wii has a lot of quality games. I love how select people around here take every opportunity to bash the Wii but don't bother playing many games for it, if any at all.

man, firstdiscovery you really hate the wii with all your anti-wii, anti-non gamer threads

anyway, doesn't EDGE rate like 80% of its games below 7 anyway?? why would you take EDGE seriously?

they gave R2 a 6, MGS4 an 8 (they also said raiden was still a lame character too! i'm not sure they were playing the same game i was)

Sure they do. The first half of '08 was great for Wii gamers. Second half not so much, but that seems to be the same problem with the 360 for this year.

Isn't Edge the poster boy for 0-10 grading? Like, a 7 from Edge is considered a good game?
Then why are they limiting the Wii's good games to 85 and above?

I mean, I like to bash the Wii every now and then, but Edge is pretty :roll: worthy.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

But that also means that the other 35% of those games are good and, like it was already said, that's plenty for the average gamer.

no, just they seem to grade games lower than others. (and their MGS4 came out a bit before the game, and saying raiden wasn't cool makes me think they didn't finish the game, they also said the ending was lame. really? i know opinion is opinion but a mgs fan knows thats a good ending, maybe not the best)

what only 65%. I would have thought it was at least %80. 65% crap sounds normal for the standard most popular console.

I could say the same about almost any system :)

Dahaka-UK

You could but then you'd be wrong with that baseless claim.

Well let's go by GS.

According to them the 360 has 296 games above A.

239 games under A.

Total Games = 535

Percent = 44.6% of 360 games are trash.

That's alot. Which is why I can make the arguement almost 1/2 the game on the 360 are trash. I bet it's even more lopsided for the PS2. The most popular system will always attract the most rubbish.

I'm sure the people who actually read the magazine and don't just glance at the review scores they've given every month when they're released on the web do.

This thread contains too much of 2 things:

1. Trying to discredit Edge like there opinion even matters in the grand scheme of things.
2. Trying too hard to bash the wii for things we've known for a long time.

I really don't know why you keep posting things like this FirstDiscovery, any point you might of had just gets nullified or lost by all the anti wii threads you make. Also, do people actual trust Edge? (serious question because I'm seriously getting mixed messages as to whether they are liked by the public)

65% is pretty conservative. I'd say 80% are utter crap, 10% are good, and 10% are awesome :D

Actually not a single game website or magazine is really what you would call trustworthy.

You know what I meant though. I take all these sites' opinions with a grain of salt but just in general terms, is Edge considered accurate/trustworthy to the general public?

Well that means 35% are good, something most on SW won't even admit to. That's enough GOOD games to keep normal people happy.

Bigboi500

No the remainder of the percentage ranges from great to average, not good. And I really don't think you can make the assumption that "normal" people would be happy with it's library.

Why not?

Just because you like to play a lot of games doesn't mean you're not "normal".

I think the word you were looking for was casual.
