Seriously, no one's safe.:?

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"]Halo wars is a console RTS and as such it shouldn't be measured with PC RTS standards, but MGS4 has to be judged by PC standards despite it being a PS3 GAME? :lol:Stevo_the_gamer

Metal Gear Solid should be reviewed by Ebert and Roper because it's 90% movie.

All do except AC. MGS4 is amazing though, outside of Stalker and Crysis(beats MGS4 by a lot), it stands close to most PC games which is impressive.

There it is...unnecessary MGS hate in a Halo topic. lol.

Just looked at Metacritic and out of 26 reviews, Gamespot has given Halo Wars it's lowest rated review. Congratulations Gamespot. The average is a 82 is anyone is interested.Stevo_the_gamer

Same deal with Ratchet and Clank remember? GS was tied for the lowest with some no name.

All do except AC. Kahuna_1

All do except AC. Stevo_the_gamer

Yeah, but doesnt it require a ridiculous amount of power? Also, how is the framerate? I just didnt like AC and on consoles it chugged hard.

What on earth are you trying to say?

Ahh I'm pulling hairs. Consolites always laugh at Hermits for saying PC has higher standards, and now they're hiding behind our high standard excuse. xD

Why is MGS4 and Crysis being mentioned isn't this thread about Halo Wars?EPaul

Because they are defensive so they pick on MGS4 and compare it to Crysis.

Another lame review from gamespot... After Fear 2, comes Halo Wars review... I Guess all the other websites I checked are ALL bought by microsoft because it has a 8.4 from IGN, a solib B from 1 up a couple of 9/10 on paper magazines, 16/20 on jeuxvideo.com ( I assume a French website bough by microsoft as well).

I can trully say I will never check gamespot rating in order to buy a game... What's next gamespot??? are going to give dawn of 2 a 5.5???

Damage control in the purest form. "Gamespot have no credibility! Other critics gave the game a better score, why didn't GS?! Why don't they think the same way as everyone else?!!! Gamespot write lame reviews....". Could you have made that anymore blatant? Are you really that upset that someone didn't tell you what you wanted to hear? The world dosn't rotate around you, ya know. Some people will not allways align with your own way of thought, and that's called a "matter of opinion".

[/QUOTE Yeah I guess you are right, I'm probably the only one in the word thinking like this, and the world rotates only around me... lol "damage control in the purest form" because I disagree??? good point "the world is flat" why don't they think the same way as everyone else??? I'm stretching it here :) Sorry for not agreeing with gamespot, or as you say: DAMAGE CONTROL, because in your own eyes the world rotates around gamespot...

This is System Wars, everything that goes on around here rotates around the activities of Gamespot. To actually go on and to question the authority of the website with no merit to do so is damage control. You wanted Gamespot to tell you it was good, it didn't matter what the review said or how they truly felt, you didn't care. All that mattered to you was that they told you what you wanted to hear, and when they didn't you had a little hissy fit proclaiming that Gamespot had no credibility. That is not an opinion, there is nothing to back up what you said, you havn't evaluated the review, you havn't even played the game, you are just taking a stab at something with no credibility to do so. How can you disagree with what Gamespot is saying without playing the game? You see why it is so obvious that it is damage control now?

After you've all read through this, I implore you to go back into history, and reread through this.

Hmm.

I have issues when games score poorly because of what they don't have.

Somewhere Blackbond is smiling :Dblue_hazy_basic

People, people... Keep it about Halo Wars.musicalmac

Yeah, people, get back on topic! Here, I'll help.

Cue the horns!!

I've never played an RTS, but a flop is a flop.

Does anyone think that Ensemble put less effort on this project knowing it was their last? Or did HW get the Russian judge treatment?

"Gamespot... came... from .... behind!" *boom*

I think it was asked before, but hay, I'll try again.

Anyone who was planing on buying this game actually not going to buy it now?

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Indeed -- MGS4 isn't judged by PC standards, by PC standards it's hardly impressive, and is average at best. Crysis and Crysis Warhead, along with games like Assassin's Creed, and Stalker runs circles around MGS4. :|AAllxxjjnn

Still at 82 on metacritic with a few extra reviews. GS review still the basement for this game. :?musicalmac

Same deal with Ratchet and Clank. Everyone had 9s and 8s, GS had a 7.5 tied for last with an unknown reviewer.

It's not even that.

Lets see then:

Have you played the full product? No. Check.

Do you disagree with the review? Yes. Check.

Do you belive Gamespot has lost credibility because of a single review of a game you havn't played except for a demo? Yes. Check.

So basically when we add this all up, your post = damange control.

It's as simple as that.

So basically, after reading and watching the review, if it's not a shooter gamespot won't like it. Doesn't anybody find it strange that they're the ones that gave this game it's lowest score? Don't you also find it strange that Age of Empires scored a 6.8 here also?xsubtownerx

AoE 2 is AAA, and AoE 3 is AA. Nothing odd about it really, except that it was a bit of a strange score. Well that is odd, but it dosn't suggest anything other than Gamespot can be a bit random sometimes. Games like CoH and Sins of a Solar Empire have scored AAA aswell, so it's not a Gamespot + RTS thing here.

It's not even that.

Right. Expect for the fact GS gave the lowest score so far out of all the critics. I think there is reason for some damage control for those who have played the demo. I for one, after reading the IGN review this morning, think this GS reviewer is pretty weak.

All anyone has to do is READ the review and know that it doesn't match up with the score it received, simple as that. hopesfall2own

PS3 owners called out Aaron Thomas for his Ratchet review and 360 owners ripped them for it. The site didnt like the game, cant do anything about it. If you like the game, then buy it, who the hell cares about other people's opinions. GS gave socom a 6 right? IGN gave it a 4.5 and I play it online more than anyother game I own.

Sites ranking this a 9 are ultimate fan boys. I can accept an 8 but a 9? Give me a break. Its an uber easy short boring looking uninnovative CONSOLE Rts. 7 seems like a decent score.

Gamespot has been rating games low lately almost to make up for their overrating games for so long

[QUOTE="Flamestos"]My first expression was :lol: because I thought it was a joke. I was seriously expecting AA for this game but A at the worst. This is why I don't depending on reviews. I enjoyed the demo and Halo Wars is still pre-ordered for me.Franko_3
