And this is why none of you should take any other peoples reviews or opinions seriously. Your opinion is all that should matter to you, and to get an educated one, you have to play the games you're interested in. If you can't afford to gamble with $60, then rent it out for a week, and see how you feel about it.BioShockOwnz

6-8 hour games can be completed in a week, even by the busiest of people. Game an hour or so a night, and there ya go.

[QUOTE="Delsage"] What if you rent it and find that you like it, then buy the game and find out the rest of it stinks? Well, that is why I read reviews at least. Although I am glad that I didn't read the Kingdom Hearts review on Gamespot before buying it, or I might of missed out on an awesome game. shadow_hosi

I could do that, but I can't/. I get a little too spastic if I try to sit and play a game for long periods. :P

Took my 2 weeks to beat Mirror's Edge. I only got to play it like 2-3 days each week so I had to play it fast. So many times I died...god damn that game drove me insane.

[QUOTE="pretzelmeister"]... when the US team of IGN gives Football Manager 2009 a 2, and the UK team gives the same game a 9.1 (I'm not sure if it was exactly a 2, but it was close to that)HoldThePhone

Yes, but now I can't seem to find the US team's review. They may have taken it down after so many people complained. The 9.1 review is still there. http://au.pc.ign.com/objects/142/14270939.html

If you read all the reader reviews they show their utter digust at IGN's 7.1 point difference

I see your point, but don't you think something is wrong when there is a variation of 7 points? I know it may be a love it or hate it game, but the fact Americans don't like Soccer, or the fact it's too in depth doesn't seem to warrant such a score difference IMO

• It feel Crisis Core deserves a 40% or below (G4 XPLAY, GameCritics)

HoldThePhone

I agree with G4 on this one.

Crisis Core have had to be one of the most disappointing games I've played all year. What a pathetic RPG. Why is it even a game? Theres almost no gameplay, and the only interesting aspect are the plot holes covered from FFVII.

Did I say theres no gameplay? None, just mindless button mashing. Take everything you love about FFVII: exploration, characters, magic, limit breaks, chocobo raising, materia, mini-games, airships. Add a dumbed down story with a slot machine and you're left with a game thats supposed to be AAA? Good to see GS caught in the hype again :roll:

they R&C:TOD a 7.5 (GAMESPOT)

they give sanit rows 2 a 5 and resis 2 a 6. (EDGE)

Am I the only one on Gamespot whom felt that the criticism in the Radiant Dawn review was actually justified?I'm not saying the numerical score itself was spot-on, but it did bring up some good points.

*sighs*

even i agree crisis core isnt that great... it isnt even that good...

i mean, it strayed away too much from the formula that made it FFVII, the gameplay was almost non-existent, the environment was dull and the only reason why people would buy the game is that they played FFVII, and nostalgia feels nice... :?

TC, you forgot:

We don't know why he was fired. It may have been his informal tone.
