Eurogamer MW3 9/10...... UC3 & Geow3 8/10

if thats their opinion theres nothing you can do about it, just enjoy the games and live life

What's their criticism of Gears of War 3? If it's too similar to Gears 2, I will :lol:

Here Eurogamer gave MW3 an 8 what you talking 'bout

Edit - at least the English site did who cares about the Portugese one.

Though I think that's a bit out of line, MW3's campaign is actually surprisingly good. Like it's one of the beter Cod campaigns

everybody has an opinion you should learn that.

If anyone actually expected anything but high scores and praise for MW3 I'm not sure why. It's just going to be that way. I'm not sure why people continue to care, because - Either there's money involved, or Critics simply look at CoD like the transformers movies, not holding any standards for them other than a few mindless hours of enjoyment.

It's a bit of both. Activision sends reviewers to resorts for CoD launch party's, I know they did it this time and for Black ops, probably something similar for MW2.

Activision is basically the biggest troll to ever come about since George Bush ... and I LOVE IT !

COD FOR LIFE BABY !:cool:

I don't care for reviews that have to be translated.

I'd care more about MW3's stellar reviews if I didn't already know they're 'incentivized'. Why Bethesda games get such stellar reviews I've yet to figure out though.

I'm pretty damn sure they gave it an 8.

they are an all around moronic site.

I'm pretty sure linearity wasn't the only thing that decided the scores for either game, and that's assuming the three of them were reviewed by the same person.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmz COD gives a good campaign, fun co-op, incredible online and HOLY **** 4 PLAYER SPLIT SCREEN! It also has perfect controls, nice graphics, appropriate sound, and if not good, at least intense story... to go along with the addictive RPG nature of it's exp and unlock systems. Too bad for all the COD haters, they are missing out on one of the very best series this gen! :D (it works better if you skip Treyarch ones btw :P)

Okay...so? They thought MW3 was better.

what does that have to do with anything here? no games we are talking about here have gotten a 7.

they are a plenty of reasons why eurogamer is a terrible site. Reading one of their reviews is like watching the Siskel and Ebert "women in danger" special. it is full of such pretentious tripe that it is unintentionally humorous.

they seem to think that generally scoring games lower than all other reviewing sites makes them "honest" or "edgy" or "objective." but in reality, they are just a bunch of pretentious chodes.

So in other words you don't agree with their lower scores. I've read quite a few EuroGamer reviews and have never noticed what you're talking about.SF_KiLLaMaN

random excerpts from their uncharted review

Uncharted 3 is a game that has an unshakable sense of its own identity. The series has always had clear aims: an unapologetically mainstream Boy's Own romp whose primary interest is in creating unrivalled thrills through daring spectacle rather than daring design.

so they are basically saying the uncharted games dont make any gameplay innovations and are soley based on visuals? i think the 30+ 10/10 reviews of Uncharted 2 had alot more to say than just "it has a daring spectacle"

But in this, the third outing, it has settled into the kind of assured swagger that comes from finding repeated successes in a specific creative mine.

so they are essentially trying to psychoanalyze the game, or rather the developers. yeah, that's not sickeningly pretentious at all

Your freedom of choice risks ruining the shot. Indeed, throughout the game, if you jump into an area you are not supposed to visit, Drake will crumple on the floor dead, Naughty Dog switching role from movie director to vindictive god. That is not your predestined path: Game Over.

so they are accusing the designers of playing god because you cant go always go where you want to go? that is just laughable. also, I would like to see some examples of this. did they try jumping into a burning room at the chateau? did they try jumping down into the spiked rusty wreckage below them during the ship graveyard segment? that is called "sucking at the game."

also, the game has plenty of open areas and especially during the combat where you can strategise and take all sorts of different paths. so not only is this pretentious beyond all beleif, its also not even really true.

The world is destructible, but only when Naughty Dog says so,

uh yeah. in real life you would not be able to personally cause a building to come crashing down, using just your handgun. things happen in this game that are outside your control. i know that seems impossible in whatever fantasy land this reviewer clearly inhabits, but here on earth it makes sense.

and at times you cannot even un-holster Drake's gun, the developer simply disabling the button till the appropriate juncture.

oh my god, how terrible. the unmitigated horror. how dare this game have moments where you arent running around shooting things.

It doesn't make any gameplay innovations at all! It is actually the perfect line, it uses scripting and great voice acting/locations to give the thrill, the levels themselves aren't special

But in this, the third outing, it has settled into the kind of assured swagger that comes from finding repeated successes in a specific creative mine.

How is that line negative at all? It just means they have confidence in what type of games they do.

No it doesn't. The game's destructibility is very limited, not a bad thing, but it's very limited. It's not realistic at all.

mainstream reviews are also generally expected to make an effort to be as objective as possible. The less universal a critique is, the less professional it makes the review look. saying something like

"the game is linear, therefore the game designers are playing god"

is pretty far removed from this professional philosophy. the review's credibility is severely lowered for anyone who doesnt share its narrow and in this case largely abnormal views. and that is why eurogamer doesnt have as large of an audience as IGN, gametrailers, or gamespot and most likely never will.
