Remember me reviews coming in - IGN 5.9.. ouch

So some reviews of Remember Me have started popping up, IGN put up their review and only gave the game a 5.9 :? I wasn't expecting great things for this game but not THAT bad, some people here were also really hyped for it and this doesn't seem like a good sign

"Big ideas abound in Remember Me, creating an intriguing, beautiful world but the game itself is very forgettable"

http://ie.ign.com/articles/2013/06/02/remember-me-review

OPMUK gave the game a 7/10 though 

Visionary ideas unfortunately fall to a
formatted medium. The world is
ambitious and brilliantly realised, but the
fighting and platforming cant keep up

So a game not to remember?

Not suprising, I expect most of the scores in the 6.0-6.5 range... will still check the game eventually, won't be long before Steam puts this one on a fire sale! :P

Don't care, still want.

Meh I was always waiting til it dropped in price anyway.:P

So a game not to remember?

Yeah I kept saying they should rename the game to "Irony"

Not unexpected but still thought it could be pretty decent.

Then again, IGN gave Metro: Last Light a 7.7 so take that as you will.

I always said it would wait for steep price drop, but if all the reviews are this bad I may not bother. Too many others to try. When I saw the platforming that was a red flag.

They're not PS3 exclusives that's why :P

IGN reviews are better than Gamespot...and more respected.

It's Capcom. All they do is shit.

Looks like another game held back by the 360. Good thing Last of Us is close to release. Have fun with this lemmings.CJ_ofCamelot

I'm gonna wait tell a price drop, I have way too much backlog atm, in fact I just beat Dawn of War 2 Retribution last night after having that game for over 2 years lol.

Hah, I wouldn't be suprised if devs try to play that angle when the game flops at sales... after all, their entire marketing was based around "TEH FEMALE PROTAGONIST !111!" :P

Couldn't believe that review when I read it at the time. Soooo much gushing, fanboyism and hyperbole.

No alt. I just like IGN better. The only thing I like about Gamespot is THIS forum.

Well the first review of The Last Of Us called it the "Citizen Kane of games". So ND is just that good...

That's fine, it's your opinion; but it's not so much the score that gets me but the review itself.

Seriously, the beginning paragraph itself just oozes fanboy and hyberpole from the start and there's two pages of the BS. I've seen better writing on high school essay papers than anything from Greg Miller a supposed "proffessional" game reviewer.

They don't even know what that means, just something they like to throw around to sound smart. No modern game can be "the citizen kane of games"

Also I don't doubt NDs talents, but U3 wasn't their best

You shouldn't be so obvious. It's better when you're more subtle

I lost respect for Gamespot after Van Ord's review of Resident Evil 6. That game was not nearly 4.5 bad and the other reviews showed it. The metascore is 3 points higher for PS3 and 2 points higher for 360.

OK, see, you're not even trying right now.

Come on, give me a challenge. Really through us through a loop, you're usual schtick is just not cutting for me or anyone here.

Not really into classics so I doubt I will any time soon.

Still haven't answere why exactly you like IGN reviews more. What makes them better?

So you boast and promote terms like "The citizen kane of games" without even knowing what it means or having seen the movie?

If they said "A game with the quality of citizen kane" then maybe it has some merit or truth

OK then.

I don't mind IGN's reviews and like watching them over GameSpot's, but there's always this
