Further proof that GS doesn't have a clue.

Saw the video review, IMO it's pretty tupid to say it's bad that characters play diffferent. That's actually awesome. Who want a fighter with 10 times the same character and just different skins? If I want that I play some old DBZ games xD

TC = :cry:

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale - 6.5... hmmm.... okay, whatever... maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

It's actually harder than Smash Bros, believe it or not.

GS has terrible reviews. Just read professional reviews instead.Mr_Cumberdale

GS is too used to reviewing kids games like Brawl. When a game of sophistication comes along they're like "WTF ITS TOO HARD! FLOP IT!"

[QUOTE="kingtito"] Or they have their own opinions which is no worse than anyone else. kingtito

I can check out (lets say) League of Legends (or Starcraft 2 or Dark Souls or whatever) for a few hours, then uninstal it and think (or even say) that it sucks without ever understanding what the game was all about and what the hell was actualy happening on the screen. Its my opinion and I have the right to have one.

Reviewer who gets payed for his work can not though. Reviewer must humbly accept the game as it is and understand it before he can tell us what he thinks. Review is more than opinion, it should be able to reveal the true quality of the game. And thats what GS reviewrs suck at lately.

Im not talking only about this game, Im talking about their ridiculous Natural Selection 2 review (before they changed it - original score was 6.0), Im talking about the terrible ZombiU review, etc. etc. The GS reviews are REALLY bad lately - to the point its actually embarassing to read them.

Reviews have an ALWAYS will be nothing more than OPINION. Your mistake is thinking that someone's view on a game is more than that. It doesn't matter if they get paid because what they like or don't like carries no weight on what I or anyone might like or dislike. You need to get over the fact it flopped on GS. Move on and if you don't agree with GS reviews then don't read them. It really is that simple.

You got it mixed up. One thing is an opinion, other thing is a quality. Whether you like a game or not is a matter of opinion. Whether a game is good or not is a matter of quality. Reviews should tell you about quality of a game, not about whether someone likes it or not. A good reviewer is one that can reveal quality and describe it to the readers. It has nothing to do with opinions really. The fact that someone hates Dark Souls doesnt make it bad (just like the fact that someone hates Shakespeares drama doesnt make it bad).

It honestly has nothing to do with this lame Smash Brothers Brawl copy and me being butthurt. I dont intend to buy this game and I couldnt care less about it (I didnt even like the original SSBB afterall). I do care about quality of reviews on a site I used to respect though.

you seem to like wall of texts. i'll summarize pretty much every single one of your posts for people who don't wanna bother: ;)

tl;dr - "gs sucks at reviews because they don't like this sony game waaahh :cry:"

The review video stated that it was more complex than professional fighting games. Maybe the reviewer was talking about boxing and UFC games ;)

lol cry me a river. Unfortunate, but a flop is a flop. Not like this review is gonna sway your opinion right?

This is just like IGN's undeserved crappy Tekken Tag 2 score.Sali217

Yes, it is exactly like that.

Why do they give fighting games to reviewers who have no idea how to play them?

I wonder if Maxwell McGee is still on this site anymore or not.. I know he had SOME clue about fighters atleast.

No I got it right. Reviews are opinion and nothing more. There are a lot of quality looking games that just aren't very good but based off your criteria they should get good scores because they look great or have tight controls. When all is said and done scoring a game based on production value and graphics is a horrible way to score a game. Don't confuse what YOU think a review should be and what reviews actually are.

Reviews are supposed to let a person get an idea whether they will like the game or not. If the controls work and game looks pretty but it's not fun to play why should it score high? All i care about is will I enjoy the game. The logic behind movie reviews applies to game reviews. All boils down to the reviewers taste, which is nothing more than their opinion.

try reading the review, or even watching the video review. the system is too complex, even by fighting game standards, and it can't decide if it wants to be a serious fighter or an accessible brawler, and as a result, the steep curve damages the enjoyment of the game.BrunoBRS

Thanks for your comment, it was a very interesting one and it was indeed important to make it, but I propose that only people with brain bigger than a peanut joined this discussion from now on.

You are wrong. See: http://www.gamespot.com/misc/reviewguidelines.html

"Wait, reviews are just opinions. Right?"

Actually, we don't think so. We make no excuses for our verdicts about games and believe our reviews stand for themselves. While our reviews, of course, do contain an element of subjectivity to them, we see the process of reviewing games as one that primarily involves the reporting of facts. To an extent, we naturally color these facts based on our own experiences of having spent much time playing other games in the past, but we make every effort to look at every game on its own merits, and we describe each game in the most factual terms possible. To this end, in the rare event that one of our reviews contains a factual inaccuracy, we will correct the inaccuracy and will acknowledge it in an editor's note that's appended to the end of the review.

Got it?
