You do realize you listed games that appeal to Americans more than it does to Europeans, right?

Makes an utter mockery of that PSireland website some people were throwing around that said the game took them 5 day 12 hr stints to complete without looking for any of the hidden or secret areas/items lol

they really said that? :shock: maybe they only played it 2 hours/day? :?

This review made her cry

Resistance: Fall Of Man

IGN= 9.1

IGN AU=8.4

IGN UK=8.0

So, there is a history of UK IGN scoring less.

Better wait for IGN USA and Gamespot to score before claiming ownage people.

this is very good ammo for me if it does get a similar score here. CaseyWegner

It's nice to see you're enjoying Bioshock on PC casey, same here :P

I'm not an expert at European gaming taste, but I'm sure the whole world is neutral on action/adventure kind ofgames.

told you cows not to hype Ninja Theory games...Palax

I remember that Microsoft passing on this game was a big point of Cow laughter and finger pointing some months ago.

[QUOTE="goodlay"][QUOTE="CajunShooter"][QUOTE="OmegaOrtega"]

People are having fun dissing the Playstation fans.

But hey it's their fault for hyping Heavenly Sword, even after the lackluster demo. Oh well atleast the game shows what the PS3 can do graphically lol.

I predict the press avg for HS to be 7.8-8.3

CajunShooter

First off the demo wasn't lackluster and I am still going to enjoy all these games no matter what they score. They aren't terrible games they are still good games.

7.0 is a barely above average game, how would you know other wise since you haven't played the retail copy?

From the little taste they give you in the demo this seems like a game I will enjoy so it doesn't matter what the reviews say. As long as their are no major technical issues that make this game unplayable it will still be a good game. 7.0 is not a terrible score.

Did I say it was a terrible game? No, all im saying is, I wouldn't put all your faith in a short demo. The demo gives you a good taste on how the game will flow and work, but it doesn't give you an idea of how much depth or lasting appeal it has. It is stupid to say, I DONT CARE WHAT IT RANKS IM GONNA ENJOY IT!!! Don't you think you are trying too hard?

[QUOTE="Palax"]told you cows not to hype Ninja Theory games...Dreams-Visions

i dont know if anyone knows what digg.com its where you submit stories from the web and then vote on them and more votes get to the front page. Anyway, there was this story talking about how HS was originally going to be a 360 game and every single comment was about how Microsoft screwed up i guess they know what they are doing..

Itagaki says:

"Told ya so. Not enough...physics...;)"

Say what you will Lemmings, but once Warhawk and Heavenly Sword come along, I won't have to sit here on system wars all day trying to justify my console purchase by calling games that score good flops.

ISA_Scum

so right now you do?

I recall those conversations/debates/arguments/flame sessions. They probably didn't know what they were doing...but I'm sure they're smiling now.

Guys this is Gamespot these other reviews are meaningless. Let's everybody calm down. *points at sig*

I thought it was a great review. They went into heavy detail about what they didn't like, pointed out the portions that worked very well, and were up front about the game being fun. Games are not usually perfect and a 7.0 rating sits just fine with me. If I'm having fun I can usually get passed a few flaws here and there. :)Velric

...and man...Cows are silent as mice right now. First UT3 stuck at 30fps...now this?

Thank you for proving my point, IGN UK usually scores higher than IGN. Which obviously usually scores higher than Gamespot.

since no Cows are here to say it, I'll say it:

"Lazy *** devs! I'm sick and tired of these n00bs not using Cell and the massive booo-ray drive properly!"

;)

there. it's done.

Now that we're done talking about a review that may or may not be meaningless... this is now an image macro thread.

I think the important thing to take from all of the scores he's posted thus far is that there is a wide range of variability between IGN UK, and IGN. We really have to wait untill IGN or Gamespot reviews it. That being said, I don't think it's going to turn out to well.

Wow. Fanboys certainly hear only what they want to hear. I just prove that fact wrong with my first post. If anything, I proved that there is no real facts proving they review one way or another...except for Soccer Games and Offroad Racers. I'll give you that they score higher on those kind of games.

"I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed to press onscreen. I look at Heavenly Sword and it seems really half-assed, because it's asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you are not getting much payoff from it"

- Itagaki.

I felt his whole statement needed to be heard :P

I hyped it AAA, if/when it flops I'll take my ownage nice and hot.

inertk

You're going to claim ownage on yourself?

Yahtzee was right

Past history or not, it doesn't really matter, just wait for the US IGN review and the GS one, good lord, this isn't anything important to argue about.

Oh man. System Wars is going to be terrible if Lair, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword dont do so well. :?Ninja-Vox

It will be madness, madness I tell you.

Thing with this kind of psychology (using a hand full of reviews to suppose a broader inconsistency) is that it dismisses the majority of their reviews in favor of a couple that show variation. Never mind the hundreds of reviews that we can pull up which show their scoring is no more or less consistent than any other review site...it doesn't achieve the goal of creating reasonable doubt in the eyes of those concerned.

Probably going to be AA here. Also, how is it that IGN in the UK got a copy when the game won't even be out for a while there? Hell it isn't out for a while yet here in North America.DSgamer64
