Muramasa-7.5 I knew it!

Right when IGN reviewed it I knew they would give it a 7.5. Anyone else notice that whenever IGN gives a Wii game a 8.5 to 9.0 GS always gives it an 7.5, there are many examples like MadWorld. It seems that IGN is always hyping Wii games so much and they don't want to give a game a low review becaus they spent so much time talking about how good it was going to be.

Late for the party I see..

Really? You knew? No way. And you made a totally new thread about the review,

Your cool.

Ouch. Though, Odin Sphere was 7.6 and one of my favourite games of the generation so far. But I oddly have very little interest in Muramasa, especially since its become much more action-oriented. That and its on the Wii.

Muramasa got a 7.5...here's a rug, sweep that game under it.

It could be that IGN's Wii reviewer has his needs met more often than GS's Wii reviewer. IGN is at least consistant where GS gives out random 9's to games that dont deserve even close. I.E. No More Heroes or Assassins Creed.wooooode

Same score Odin Spear got and that game was amazing.....So no big deal really. HarlockJC

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]
But still, wasn't it being hyped AAA? And McShea reviewed Muramasa, and Muller reviewed Odin Sphere... so obviously there must be a connection. Plus, despite Odin Sphere being fantastic, it suffered from some severe and crippling performance issues, as well as a very unintuitive inventory system.

By 15 people too :P

Well Odin Sphere had glaring issues that would bring the review down.

And yet again so many folks only pay attention to one score. Yay, that's what we have become...

True gamers will buy Muramasa and become addicted.

It was definitely AA.

It seems that Muramasa is Odin Sphere without all the depth.

So you're only a "true gamer" if you "buy Muramasa and become addicted"? :| Words can't even describe how much fail is presented in that last sentence.

I am surprised this game got a Game Spot review at all.

Ouch. Though, Odin Sphere was 7.6 and one of my favourite games of the generation so far. But I oddly have very little interest in Muramasa, especially since its become much more action-oriented. That and its on the Wii.

Some people just don't like the controller, including me. Definitely not a console I'd want to own long term.

Gamespot doesnt care about Wii people.

Is a game at fault simply for being on the system? Has your hate for the wii grown that much?

Ironic you say this considering you call anyone who found gears 1 to be superior to gears2 "delusional"

After playing the game for about 30 minutes I wholeheartedly disagree with that review score and agree with IGN's review score but I guess different critics give different scores.

Doesn't change the fact that I'm still getting it.siLVURcross

okay then. You're delusional for irrationally hating a game simply becasue it's on a system you happen to dislike. happy now?

Shinobishyguy

who cares.. the different tastes different opinions.. no more heroes got 9.0 here and 7 something at ign.. this got 8.9 at ign and an A - at 1up and 7.5 here.. little king story got 8.5 at ign and 1up but got a B - at 1up..

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] okay then. You're delusional for irrationally hating a game simply becasue it's on a system you happen to dislike. happy now?

foxhound_fox

Not bad. Looking foward to trying it out. Looks fun to me.

I was refering to wii games in general. if it's the focus of the game that irks you then thats understandable. But if you're hating on a game (any game, it could be the be the best game in the world for all we know) just for being on the wii...thats irrational.

So impossible for a game on the wii to be good in your eyes simply because of the direction that the wii is going in? (regardless of the quality of the actual game)

and does that have any bearing on the quality of the games released on the wii.

riiiight

again what does the wii's "direction" have to do with games like galaxy or metroid the other m?

does it somehow magically make it worse in your eyes?

I noticed that about the scores too. IGN's are actually very accurate.

I saw this score coming.

so you're not enforcing your little vendetta on the actual good games for the wii?

You apparently hate the direction the wii is taking.

But if a game looks interesting (and has nothing to do with the "direction") will you hate it simply becasue of the system it's on?

again let me ask the question.

Just don't try to use the whole "hurr durr opinions" card when discussing the actual quality of a game.
