The game is more of a strategy game becuase it's dumbed down by so much compared to other RTS games.

You do know what the S in RTS means don't you? and the fact the game is also Real time.

I'm failing to see your point.

Yeah, its 79 metacritic is telling.

If there's one thing you should know by know, its that Gametrailers is a bunch of console bots who will take every opportunity to destroy the credibility and integrity of the PC and its games. Hell, they rated Crysis down for destroying their 8600GT system on High settings and STALKER down for its difficulty.... :roll:

The review IMO was spot on BUT i'm biased as i love the game :D, it's the first RTS on a console that i think works (i'm getting it for MP alone) due to the voice system.

Yea, because games NEVER get docked points for difficulty, right? I guess GS is a bunch of console bots because they just marked down Castlevania for tough boss fights.

Not to mention the way you talk about those games, the uneducated would assume everyone but Gametrailers loved them, which is sadly not the case.

I just dislike GT reviews because it ain't the reviewer that is talking on their video review.

I'm pretty sure that they only have one reviewer.

I follow reviewers and not gaming sites/magazine, because not everyone in the gaming site will share the same opinion as the reviewer of a certain game.

I actually prefer GT's review system over GS's by a long shot

but the actual scores is another matter
that depends on your opinion

I agree with some of GT's scores, and disagree with others; just like I do with all the other game sites

You people need to stop whining about review scores. If I think that one game is amazing, but someone else doesn't, guess what? That it their opinion. Nothing can change that. Just because you don't agree with their opinion doesn't mean you have to bash them.

This person speaks the truth.

After all it is YOU who is buying the game, not gametrailers, not gamespot, not IGN. It is you. You make the final decision... do you feel special? :twisted: *le sarcasm*

But no way in hell do I even consider any of their PC coverage/reviews. They're a joke in that section.

Are you serious? Do any of the current gen consoles have an RTS library as large as PC's to compare to?

Does EndWar have to worry about a Total War game? Or World in Conflict? Company of Heroes? Didn't think so.

I've played all of the MG games besides 4, and I can say two things about it:

1. Overall, I think it's story is pretty good...

2. ...however, it doesn't mean that it's all good. MGS still has some stupid plot lines and story moments to it.

Also..Gametrailers' community is one of the few places on the internet with a population of gamers worse than what System Wars has. Viewing comments there is a nice way to get your daily dose of rage.

True dat mate. So far, I've agreed with all the GT reviews, except those for Far Cry 2 and Endwar. But then again, it seems like all critics were stupid enough to give those games high grades, so I won't hold it against them.

True.

Its either GT or Games Radar for one of the worst; even if GR has some great articles.

Gametrailers outsource most of their reviews, which tends to lead to a lot of inconsistency in their reviews. What GT excels at is the presentation of their video reviews which is the best out there mainly due to good editing and good narration done by the same individual for all the reviews (which gives the illusion that all the reviews are done by the same person).

The demo was HORRIBLE. RTS games should stick to PC.

I also agree with the person above who said they enjoy gametrailers presentation of there reviews more then the actual reviews themselves. Definatly very true.

GameTrailers is second only to Eurogamer and Edge in terms of reviews in my opinion. They may not be that great for PC Game reviews, but their accuracy on console games is second-to-none.

They can totally justify their scores even when I completely disagree with them, like in Mass Effect. They AAA'ed that game. I A'ed it.

And are PATENTLY RIDICULOUS. It's not that they break the suspension of disbelief - it's that they smash into it with a car, get out, light the pieces on fire, and piss out the flames. It's as though Kojima is offended by the idea of plausibility.

Kojima is like George Lucas - and I mean the new Lucas, not the old one. He needs someone around that will tell him "no", and he needs to listen to them.

well Kevin still overrated it but it didn't get a 9 (thankfully). Guy knows his strategygames I'll give hime that

and Gametrailers is still a disgrace. When you rate something higher than IGN you need to take a long hard look in the mirror

they became a disgrace when they gave cod4 graphics goty instead of crysis.BIOWAREISKING

But you need a billion dollar PC to get access to those great graphics. I think they might have taken into account that the typical PC gamer will never be able to see those graphics.
