Its not, just the reason they gave for taking away a point is pretty damn silly when you compare it to FPS that did get 5/5.

All the same 4/5 is not bad at all!

So wait... what would be a AAAA for that website in that case?

if 4 is only AA and 5 would I am guessing be AAAA. Would it have to be 4.5?

Does that website even use .5?

Well you can "talk" about any review.

As far as "official" results go tho, you can only use Gamespot scores for system wars.

We can 'talk' about any reviews we want, but in determining whether a game is an 'official' flop or not, we go by gamespots scores. That is all.

And in reality, official hype doesn't exist anymore, according to mods. But I guess people can play their little game.

Gears of War 2 got a 4/5 on that site, WaW got a 4/5 on that site and GTAIV got a 3/5 on that site too! :D That site fails miserably.

Caps lock abuse is a crime. Calm yourself down, it's just a video game. Nothing you need to wet yourself over.

Anywho never heard of that site, so I don't care.

lol yea you're right TC. What did CoD and Halo do to "redefine the genre"? Nothing. They're both great games though and I'm guessing they gave CoD4 and Halo 5/5 right?

Not true. You can use whatever you like. It's a myth that that is "the rules".

From what I have seen as far as deciding what is an official flop or not, Gamespots score is the only score that matters.

What other website can decide if a game flops or not?

Did you know that on that same site GTA4 got a 3/5 or that Gears 2 got a 4/5 stars ... no? Well how about Left for Dead which also got 3/5 stars. Why do you always have to criticize?

Ign,G4,Gamespy...

Officially in system wars discussion? Everytime another website is mentioned people brush it off with "Only Gamespot scores matter".

Where did you even pull that list from? I am talking about the score that decides on THIS forum if a game flops or not. The only one people always take to heart for sure appears to be Gamespot score.

If you could use any score in the world to decide what flopped or not than a case could be made for almost any game that it was a flop.

I read part of the translated review and I don't think they even included the multiplayer (or played it) in the review. Still good. No big complaints besides "not revolutionary" lol.

I translated the entire text review and it doesn't mention MP at all...Hmmm...

----------

"There is something very kaxigt with releasing a storspel in January. Nobody helped from a julrusch, for early in the year in order to remember it when årslistorna assembled. Simply a commercial dared move. The creators of Killzone 2 know what they do and it has every reason to go with your nose in the air. The game is quite excellent. While it is easy to tire of war-based shooters and with Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 in fresh memory, I have really had my dose for a while. Yet grips Killzone 2 me in the head hair, shake me and make me jump on the sofa. The initial battle is quite magical and intense maffigt, audio carpet are pressing and when my soldier SEV successful mission to destroy a bunch of rocket marksmen so I shudder. The control is nice and the surroundings are natural, raw and osminkade and it is in this Killzone 2 has its advantage compared with many other shooters: it feels more personal, easier to be you with your character, and feel with your team mates. There is no co-op, which is odd, and certainly makes Killzone 2 is not much new to the genre, but it is great enough to do without a julrusch in the back."

Yeah this review shouldn't even be called that. It's more like a suggestion, they're not even professionals I don't believe. Anyway, people can say what they want and believe what they say, I just hope that it gets a good score on GS and IGN.

Ehh...I'll see some more professional reviews before passing judgement. Besides, no co-op isn't a large enough flaw to knock of a point. Call of Duty 4 didn't have co-op and it was still AAA, why can't this?
