Kind've dissapointing. I mean, if it had gotten a 7 then that means it's good but according to them, it's mediocre.

Have you played it yet? I mean, I'm going to wait until I play it to say if that's what it deserves.

I thought the demo was something new and fresh... I just had worries about the whole game but I guess it did'nt work out the way I thought it would.

I was expecting it to be average at the very least. Hey, it's only one review so I guess we'll just have to wait for the rest.

well IGN gave BIA a 7.9 and gave the graphics a 5. I think lately they've been lowballing the numbers. While I haven't played Fracture, it's probably at least a 7+.

Im sure they have frontline you keep telling yourself that it's called an opinion they don't give it a bad review for no reason.

Silent Hill games have always scored low. Just like almost every other famous survival horror series.

That means that the game is "above average".

Whats wrong? Not every game can be revolutionary or perfect.

Meh, I didn't like the demo. I figured it would turn out bad anyway, I can feel these things happen in advance and I'm almost always right.

Ouch,
I actually enjoyed the demo so this is kind of disappointing. But they did only give BIA:HH a 7.6, and that game is awesome so i'll wait for more reviews.

What's wrong with some of you guys? Sure, reviews aren't always accurate, but most of the time, they really are. The fracture demo was horribly boring and i think a 5.9 is a bit too generous to be honest.

i played the demo and it felt really cheap and easy. i think its somewhat like mercenaries 2 where they made the game just for the hell of it. the idea was good but the game itself was bad.

Yeah, reviewers tend to lowball numbers when alot of great games come out around the same time. Like Mass Effect with 8.5.

I said most not all. So obviously that means that Resident Evil is in there if there are exceptions.

I enjoyed the demo for the most part, except for the fact that you need to get pretty damn close to the enemy to be able to hit them with a machine gun.

websites give a LOT of games out there bad scores when the games are really quite good, or even awesome.

I think people should stop basing whether they play a game or not on scores they read online and actually buy or rent or borrow the game and try it for themselves and form their own opinions.

Also, you can't know if they really get bribed or not or they just have some personal angers against said company :P

I always think it's the best to wait for a game to release then read the opinions of the users instead. You can simply ask and get a, hopefully, true and honest opinion.

I agree, id rather hear what other gamers have to say. A lot of times i'll still play the game. Ive played plenty of games that people have said were horrible and i ended up really liking them. same goes for movies. everyone's taste is different so why judge something off of someone elses taste.

Same thing happened with PDZ, many said it was bad, and I ended up liking it.

I havent played it yet, but for the price it is now i am definatly thinking about picking it up to try it out. I have heard from quite a few people that its half decent, but for the price even if its not the greatest its still worth trying out. I picked up Prey and ended up really liking it and its super super cheap now.

There's a chance you might like it, but it has a steep learning curve, unlike most shooters like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

\

i personally played the demoed and loved it. its new and refreshing to me..and i would prefer playin some like that than playin another fps . gears of war is going to be good..but its the same as the first. even after all the vids about how its going to be newer and better...its pry not going to be that newer and not that much better. and i am really hated that it seems that everyone is basing their whole entire view on a game about ONE review. its the same with too human. one website said it was the worst they have ever played. and then EVERYONE is all refusing to play this game and trolling boards.

my view....if u like the demo..try out the game..if u didnt ..dont bother..and u dont have to go out tellin people to avoid it or whatever..just say it wasnt my taste.. i like the demo so im gonna get it..

I didn't find it all that appealing from the previews and videos. Haven't tried the demo yet because I don't have my Xbox.

Reviews don't mean much, there's loads of game sout there with lower scores I'd give them, and theres loads of games with way higher score than I give them, the point is, it's what the particular person reviewing the game thinks about it, and what he wants from a game could be a whole other story than what Me or you wants, the demo wasn't bad, but yes I've just played too many shooters on this console, shooting things can only get so fun man, after you do it a thousand million times, it looks the same. but don't let a review make you think it will suck, figure it out for yourself.
