Which GS review was the bigger crime? Mass Effect, Twilight Princess, or R&C

[QUOTE="Spartan070"]Mass Effect. New ratings scale = 9.5 Old ratings scale = 9.3-9.5.All_that_is_Man

mass effects not that great of a game buddy....

Yes, yes it is. Ever played it?

I explained why i didn't like it and like I said I played a lot of RPGs in my time so I have experience with the genre

Why are you getting so defensive? Different people have different tastes and different standards

MarloStanfield

None of them. I do research and and make sure I'm 100% sure I'm going to like the game before I buy it.

Reviews are opinions, simple as that. One person may like one game, and another may hate it. I hate Dead Rising but I know a lot of people absolutely love that game.

To answer your question, I'd say Mass Effect, but like I said prior, one mans 7 is another man's 10

IMO, Mass Effect was, but there were bigger underrated games this gen.

Mainly GRAW. That game ushered in next gen and only got a measly 9.2 or whatever GS gave it...it didn't get a 10 and that was a mistake.

Fable 2 FLOPPED, who cares about the past...this topic was made because Fable 2 floppedneomatrix909

So how about you start respecting one's personal gaming preferences instead of turning to insults and personal attacks. :|Stevo_the_gamer

I'm not insulting anyone dude, i'm just pointing out that wee have different standards and opinions

jeez

"You're a Mass Effect apologist and a Halo fanboy so you obviously have questionable taste" -- "Mass Effect was garbage mate, not everyone has such low standards"

I find that hardly complimenting, lad

That was a different thread. I said that in response to what I thought was a criticism of my taste in TV shows but what actually turned out to be good old fashioned prejudice

and I've already laid out my arguments about mass effect.

In which case I'll say the following (again): "So let me get this straight -- you dislike a certain game, and that makes it automatically garbage? In that case -- Halo, Half-Life, Crysis, Stalker, Battlefield, Fear, and Counter Strike are all garbage considering someone must hate it -- right? Aw, I see -- someone using their personal gaming preference and shoving down one's throat as facts. Very SystemWars like."

First half, yes; second, no. I never criticized your display picture -- I merely pointed out I can understand why you'd say that "blah, blah, blah" by looking at your display picture. Did I ever say a racial remark? No. Did I ever even indirrectly insult your favorite TV show, whatever it was; No. Either way, my point still stands -- "So how about you start respecting one's personal gaming preferences instead of turning to insults and personal attacks."

Stevo_the_gamer

You said that you could understand why I thought many Mccain/Palin supporters were racist. Why? Because my avatar is a picture of a black man. That's not only a silly thing to say but it also ignores the videos I posted that illustrated why i felt that way

I have an opinion, I've explained it very well. I've pointed out where Mass Effect goes wrong both in general terms but also in relation to other WRPGs (including bioware's previous games). Your only argument so far sems to be that the game is awesome

You posted those videos after you called Republicans racist and after I posted why I could understand why you'd feel that way. Nice try.

I never called the game awesome -- I never even called Mass Effect a "good" game. I mere stated the following: "Mass Effect's review was poorly written, had inaccuracies and was full of nit-picking. Kevin really screwed up big time while reviewing Mass Effect. Personally, I don't even think Kevin completed the game by doing all the side quests, exploring, ect."

In which case you blatantly called the game garbage after I posted such.

Yep. I posted the videos a few posts afterwards whe someone called me out on my remarks. It was one of my first posts in the thread, and I never said all republicans were racist just a lot of them. Something that is illustrated in the videos

So you agree it was rubbish? Excellent. then we have no point of contention

The review seemed way too positive to me. The interface, navigation and combat were definately weak. But it had a lot more problems than that

I wouldn't be surprised if he never completed all the sidequests. I missed a few of the sidequests because i couldn't be arsed to grind for them but the ones I did play were the worst I have ever played in any RPG.

The exploration was absolutely terrible thanks to the boring repetitive Mako sections and the same goes for the level design, I've had enough of long corridors and elevator rides TY. It was also incredibly short and had a bunch of other problems

Terrible game

Whatever floats your boat, lad. You're entitled to your views -- as I am with mine, we're done here.

a compelling argument lad

although I would say that, my avatar has a black guy in it

Skate. Criminally underrated.foxhound_fox

thats the whole truth and nothing but the truth

I'm glad tensions over these three scores have subsided (more or less), but when you look back on em' which do you think was the most unjust scoring?

nervmeister

R&C obviously.

what the heck was that about the "lack of identity" for an installment that only added to what was offered from the previous titles?

Nobody said fable 2 yet? :lol:Zerocrossings

have to play it before we find out how overrated it is

Fanboys dont actually have to play games to see their pros and cons.
