NO there AAA hate to break it to ya but because a reviewer says their no t AAA doesnt mean their not. u believe everything u read?

hfgames

I don't believe everything I read, thats why I don't believe you. and the numbers are against you, Motorstorm 83% and Fall of man 87% in gamerankings, I know gamespot is law so Motorstorm 79% and FOM 86%

no AAA there, both games are great but not AAA.

I agree that RFOM is a AAA title. Who else agrees? Game Informer, IGN, Gamepro, G4, PSM, Official PS Magazine, and most other respectable review sites. I know that doesn't count on SW, but he's right when he says that one reviewer doesn't make it not AAA.
Motorstorm is a solid AA title. Almost everyone but GS agrees with this.
Just like Perfect Dark Zero getting AAA here is almost a joke. No real reviews out there agree with that (IGN, Gamepro, G4, EGM, et al).
But unfortunately, that is just system wars for you. There is the idiotic rule that only GS scores count, regardless of whether or not the rest of the reviewing world agrees or not.
Zelda is not AAA because one reviewer in GS says so. Forget that every other review on the planet said AAA or AAAA. GS is the God of system wars.rpawloski2458

So, if a game gets AAA in more than one publication, it's AAA?

Then the 360 has an insane amount of AAA exclusives...

Gamespot Editors use professional opinions not personal, those are called user reviews.

Go tell it to someone who cares. In SW (because of people like you who cherry pick reviews), only GS scores count. Thanks for playing.


How was that Cherry picking? I merely stated that those reviews to show that maybe GS's isn't the only review that SHOULD count. I am not challenging the rule exists. I am stating that it should be changed to include other respectable sites. As far as someone who cares, this thread was posted by someone who apparently agrees that GS being the only thing that counts is ridiculous.

Why would we use OTHER sites on GS ?? Then there would be no point in flopping a game because some one an say " Oh IGN gave the game AAA so that means it's AAA on GS" That wouldnt make much sense would it :roll:

TC if we all have the ablity to decide whats AAA and whats not then system wars would die

But remeber scores do not mean YOU won't like the game, but reviews can help to see if a game has flaws that you don't like

motorstorm gameplay is AAA, yes. but the total content on the disc is too lackluster.

Resistance is a VERY good shooter, but with no texture streaming and a little generic.

sorry man, neither one of them are AAA.

Have a good day though.

if i hear someone talk about reviews one more time i'm going to crack. unless the people who review games have the same tastes as the millions of gamers in the world they are not going to be accurate for every single person

That's fine...but the term AAA refers to the score that a game gets from a review site....not from "millions of gamers in the world. Obviously we can't cater to millions of gamers opinions. So it's simple: If you don't want to discuss reviews than don't click on topic titles that refer to reviews.

Sorry, dude. I'd like to help a fellow Sony gamer but even this cow can admit that nothing was truly next-gen about R:FOM and Motorstorm was a graphically great, gameplay terrible experience.

Stick with the rest of the year's line-up to defend your PS3 purchase.

It's so sad how you guys let reviews control your out look on games.. these guys aren't "professional" they just write their opinion and post a score.. and explain the game a bit.. but no apparently to you mindless saps their opinion is law which makes no sense.. but seeing as you guys don't have minds of your own...

The only thing I'll take from reviews are technical problems such as framerate, sound issues, glitches, etc. Other than legit reasons like those to convince me to save my money instead of wasting it on whichever game.. their opinion is most likely completely different from mine.

it is sad... that's why you should check out many reviews to give you an idea about the game's quality. in the end you never really know until you play it yourself

Reviews originally are meant as guides for players to see whether they will like the game when they buy. They are not meant as laws to be rigidly followed. However, for all purposes in SW, these GS reviews, as a rule, are taken as laws. Else there will be endless bickering that would really bring this place to new lows. Can you imagine threads saying "No this game did not flop because I SAY SO!!111". No tq.

~-~Really? Well doesn't 50 Cent Bullet Proof have more numbers on it's side? And for you information, reviews aren't about their opinion it's about the quality of the game. I know it's hard for some people (LIKE YOU!) to think they can put opinion aside but they can.~-~

[QUOTE="shoeman12"]ok, since we're going by our opinions here, TP and SPM are AAA. why do cows think the rules of SW don't apply to them?Mordred19

why do you hide behind the SW rules like they are a shield?

Wow, that comeback made as much sense as a Monty Python flick. Why use simple guidelines to keep order when we can simply use our opinions as 'facts' Brilliant, sir, brilliant.:|

okay, how about this? "why do you hide behind the GS standards for what meets or doesn't meet AAA status? why take their word as absolute fact rather than playing the games before discussing their merits?"

Gamerankings says its not AAA material,in your opinion those games might have been AAAA games, but fact is, its not in general.
