Standards of the platforms are far different. You can't directly compare raw number scores across platforms. Gamespot doesn't work that awy.

-When Critics say it "The best looking game out NOW"..they mean all GAMEs. Even including PC games. Get Owned.

So who said this, when, and what games were they comparing it to.

Hope: I don't recall saying anything about their relative meaning. I merely said that you can't directly compare scores cross platform because of how gamespot reviews games.Vandalvideo

 

Well look,  If you wanna say you dont like gears style of grafix as much as striker,  The artistic and environmental style of the game give it the edge over gears than so be it.  That might be true, i havnt played striker yet...........but as a purly technical standpoint,  in terms of textures, lighting, environment, backgrounds,  purely technical I just dont see how you can compare this game to gears cause it really isnt even that close.....

Who is Hope? But what your trying to state is that Stalker is better looking game then any console game which in turn point is false. Plus there is so many glitch in the game. Such as in the beginning when you battle the dogs, animals,  some of them are not detailed in and the AI suck! I dont have the game, but my friend does and I saw him play it, he has a Core 2 duo with a GS 7950, running the game, not the best but still good.

Then why did Gamespot say that the graphics look slightly dated due to it being pushed back to far?

Its common sense they do. Standards are formed by competition. Gamespot reviews based off of same genre same platform. If there is more competition on one platform, its obvious the standards would be higher. Its only natural.

Gamespy- I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Gears of War is the best-looking game I have ever played. (first sentence in review)

Ign- Yes, it's the most gorgeous lookinggame..(review section)

I see how you could make that assumption, but seeing as you have no proof we cannot confirm this, maybe they judge games on one platform on the same scale as another platform? I can't confirm this either, but we could both make assumptions. So since we both have no proof we should leave it as it is.

So it was in a review that was published over a few months ago. Lets see...........when did Stalker come out? This month right? They couldn't have possibly been comparing it to Stalker since they said "Best looking game I ever played". Played.

So if I were to put in NBA 07 for the PS3 and 360 they'd totally be the exact asme, and there would be no divergence what so ever? Thats funny, i do recall the review saying that there was certain issues with one version of the game. But I digress, multiplats are not perfect, sometimes frame rate issues and added bonuses add extra depth to them. Is COD3 for the Wii the same as COD3 for the 360?Vandalvideo


Taking posts out of context FTW!

 

First off, I began with comparisons with the Xbox 360 and PS3. Using the Wii to try and prove a point is irrelevant and shows your ignorant fanboy views.

Second, you just furtherly proved my point in that post. My point is, you're quoting GameSpot's review FAQ for having games be compared to their respected platform and genres. So, if thats true, why would they review Tony Hawk, as an example, and use the 360 to discredit the PS3 version while they are essentially the same game (as the PS3 version has technical flaws, being framerate problems)? Also, drop the bonus content because THP8 does not have any difference in content. GameSpot's review FAQ doesn't sound too reliable to fall on now, eh? If you're going to use the FAQ as a source, you might not want to if I can easily discredit it with proof from their reviews.

They may have referenced it in the review, but is there ANY indication that it affected the overall scorse of the game other than them mentioning stability?

Why isn't Gears a master piece. Have you played it? It has achieved somewhere around 5 or 6 GOTY awards and you don't call it a master piece? IMO it has the best graphics ths gen so far. I would assume Gears is just as much of a master piece as STALKER

"Though already dated by a few years, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. still looks good, and its visuals are on par with Half-Life 2. What the game lacks in modern-day graphical pizzazz, it makes up for with intricate detail and immersive atmosphere. There's something to be said for the game's environments, which are infused with a ton of character and detail"

From the Gamespot review itself.  The game is dated, but it makes up for it's dated graphics with Detail.

It looks on par with Half-Life 2 Episode 2 which is great, but not quite on par with Gears.

I TRUST MY OPINIONS. i DONT CARE ABOUT M$ PR BS. GEARS OF WAR IS A MINI-GAME. STALKER IS A MASTERPICE. AND CONSOLE BOYS? IM STILL WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THE ONE I POSTED... WHERE IS IT?

It pretty funny how a mini-game scored Game of the Year and recieve the highest possible points at GS last year with Oblivion. But Stalker...8.5, RFOM> Stalker....now that saying soemthing

They may have referenced it in the review, but is there ANY indication that it affected the overall scorse of the game other than them mentioning stability? Vandalvideo

 

The redesigned career mode and multiple difficulty goals inject a lot of excitement into the formula, and features like online leaderboards and Xbox Live support really make the Xbox 360 version stand out.PS3 THP8 Review

 

That is the most straight-forward indication of comparison between the platforms for this multi-plat game. I think you're out of straws to grasp for :lol:

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="360_Degrees"]

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]So it was in a review that was published over a few months ago. Lets see...........when did Stalker come out? This month right? They couldn't have possibly been comparing it to Stalker since they said "Best looking game I ever played". Played.hoankiemdinh

 

Then they would of said "STALKER is quite possibly the best looking game to date" in their review for STALKER :?

But, sadly, they didn't, and you're in damage control now. 

So because they didn't "say it" it isn't true? Thats a scary precedent you're setting. Just because you don't say something, it isn't true..................rut ro. Btw this isn't damage control, its something more sinister.

LOL Hermits..can never accpet defeat :roll:

Proving me wrong is usually more fruitfal than claiming victory.

Yes, thats exactly it.

Do you really believe that a reviewer wouldn't take into consideration the graphics when reviewing a game? Do you have a disability?

Yes, its in the conclusion paragraph (which usually sums up the game and why it recieved the score).

Its also in the "The Bad" section of the PS3 game review.

In the end GEOW, make look better, but STALKER has far more detail and immersion to it, and its a far more Original game, with massive environments, and completely dynamic gameplay.

They do take into account graphics and review "based on same genre same platform". There isn't anything stating to the contrary, and just because they didn't say "OMG ITS THE GREATEST GAME I EVER PLAYED" doesn't mean it is necessarily worse than any certain game. In comparison to other games on the PC, it scored an 8. That is all you can say.

Right, they referenced the game and pointed out how its bad. But do is there any evidence that it actualyl affected the score at all? Like some kind of reviewer commentary or something stating to the point. I won't except any inferences what so ever.

I never said it didnt, Yes Gears of War does have better Graphics, but STALKER has better immersion to its graphics, no matter if they are outdated. In Terms of Whats better to look at...I guess that varies, personally I prefer Artistic detail over Technical Graphics.

Hope: But I haven't really been owned yet. His pretex is a gamespy review and a stalker review. Theres some problems here. In order for this to be a valid point It would have to: A) Be the same reviewer B) He would have to clearly say that Stalker is worse than Gears C) The most important, since the pretext is, "Best looking game I ever PLAYED" you have to be able to prove to me that hes played every game Stalker is being compared to. I can't be owned with a worthless suorce.

So how exactly is my opinion that Gears has dispropotional meat chunks for humans that look plastic and shiney fiction and a misconception. They look like that to me, its my opinion they look like that. Its not like I've said, "STALKER's graphics are technically more advanced than Gears" or anything, even if the lighting system may be. (OMG i just said it).

Have you ever read a GameSpot review before?

The Bad points are contributed to lowering the score, and the conclusion summarizes on how the game recieved the score that the reviewer gave it. In both cases, it makes references to the 360 version (even mentioned XBox Live!).

Thats pure and simple evidence; even a chimpanzee could comprehend it. If you can't, you're are admitting defeat as an ignorant fanboy.

Degrees: They don't mention the 360 version in "The Bad" The Bad: Frame rate is frequently unstable; no online support; skater creation options aren't as in-depth as they have been in previous installments. Those are comparisons that could be made to other games on the same platform. Whether or not they were referenced in the text of the review is not a clear indication that it is included in the score.
