IGN AU has a very controversial review.

*let me just say...that I am not here to comment on anything at all....I am only saying what was listed on IGN's front page. In fact...Im not even gonna add my opinion on the game here.

So? Halo:CE got reviews in the 80/100s. It happens, people have different opinions. That's why we take the majority.nowakawon

Exactly... so why aren't we doing this with Nintendo games?The generalopinion is thatMP3 is AAA.

Because this is a Gamespot forum.

IGN =/= Gamespot.

So then why didn't you say "we accept whatever GameSpot says"?

In what instancesdo we take themajority, and in what instances do we take GameSpot's review?

I am fully aware how scoring works here. My question to him was, since when do we "take the majority"?

So now you're saying that we should take the majority, but we don't.

Now see, that makes sense. :P

Yea, i'm sorry. *facepalm* I messed up.

I'm sorry. I messed up my wording. Let me make myself more clear. This is why we SHOULD take the majority. As one persons opinion isn't enough. nowakawon

Some legimiate complaints and a well written reviewIMO.Zero_Fate_

Indeed. I just read through it, why is this considered "controversial?" The breakdown of the scores and their reasoning at the end of the review is very much along the lines of what I expected from early on.

89's not bad, not what I'd expect though. anyway, It's just one reviewers opinion, no need for it to be controversial.Lab392

There are three reviewers writing that article. :P

thats sounds like a very honest review.

i find it strange that gs review of mp3 completely focused on minimal negatives like the slighty easier difficulty and the sameyness of the game as justification for such a low score, while halo 3 is just as guilty of being more of the same, yet there was no mention of it in the review, despite the fact they made such a big deal out of it for mp3.

im not saying gs is biased, i agree with their review of TP, but that metroid review i think really tried hard to make some little things into a big deal for no apparent reason. i could find MUCH more viable complaints for games like oblivion, gears of war and warioware that managed to get AAA scores. how exactly is mp3 worse than a three hour minigame collection and an unchanged gc port?

I am suprised so many websites gave halo 3 a perfect score. I mean a perfect score means that game has a long, exahilarating campaign, breathtaking visuals, innovative gameplay, and deep, emotional story. Halo3 doesn't have a 10/10 story, the gameplay is very similar to HALo 1, and 2, and the graphics are good, but not the best. I think this review is unbiased, and the people actually have the balls to give the game an honest score. I am not trying to say Halo sucks or anything, is just its not revolutionary.

How so? I don't play on Live, so clearly, any hours that the multiplayer ostensibly adds are meaningless to me.

Ars Technica gave Halo 3 SP campaign a 7/10 for the same reason. They're reviewing the multiplayer gameplay separately, because it has a separate design intent.

[QUOTE="nowakawon"]

No.

Yes. Plus it's one point higher for Halo 3.

Yea, i'm a Halo 3 fanboy. No, that's not the reason I think we should use majority.

---OkeyDokey---

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. For MP3, GS said it was too similar, but too different in that it was paced too much like a standard FPS. But then here comes Halo 3, and nobody cares how similar it is to Halo 1-2. Plus, they considered the differences to be good things.

I respect both series, but to change the rules is totally wrong.

metroid prime 3 is hands down the best game on the wii and should have been scored accordingly.

Of course it does. If it's not worth playing for me, then it's not there for me. It might as well not exist, and Halo 3 to me ends up as a short play session. This is why I'm so opposed to games that try to mix it up and do both SP and MP: the SP almost always gets short-shafted, like Gears of War, Halo 2, Resistance, GRAW, etc., and the vast majority of gamers are still SP gamers.

Then you get games that do ONLY SP, or ONLY MP, and you get masterpieces of our time, like BioShock, Battlefield 2, Metroid Prime 3, etc.

One of the few games that does both SP and MP right is the Half-Life series, but that's the only one I can think of.

I've never play metroid, so please correct me if i'm wrong. While I do think if Halo 3 shipped with campaign and multiplayer it would have just scored a 8.5 for the same reasons MP3 did. However, Halo 3 did not just ship with campaign and multiplayer but also forge and saved films. Some push these off to the side like they are no big deal. Yet forge will last your hours of gameplay and entertainment. As saved films will also last you hours of entertainment.
