@Maize84: Who did the Deadpool creator rip off? I would say both companies had their fair share of 'inspiration' from one another over the decades.
You should do a Google search for Slade Wilson.
It goes far beyond inspiration. One of the co-creators was quoted when the other co-creator pitched it to him, "So we're doing Deathstroke in Teen Titans."
If you want to be nice, you can call Deadpool a pastiche.
@velite: How did the coronavirus show that movies don't need theaters to be successful? Trolls still needs to make another $50 million before it starts making money.
Movies have zero chance to bring in a billion anymore if there aren't theaters. Universal is run by idiots if they didn't think this would he the response and someone's definitely losing their job over it. FF9 has to be in theaters or they're screwed.
@RSM-HQ: It makes sense now that you don't understand English. That's not the appropriate definition of criticism and you're not a critic. Look at the second definition of criticism in your dictionary. That's the one you need to understand.
What you're saying is null and void and it's not because of a made-up way of thinking. It's impossible to get what you want because it's infeasible for them to have multiple people tackling every game with a critical eye. Comparing this review to the other reviews you mentioned just proves you don't understand how criticism works.
@RSM-HQ: That's not how criticism works. It doesn't work that way in any other medium, why can't gamers understand that. No one talked about the Chicago Sun-Time's opinion of a movie. They talked about Ebert's opinion of a movie. No one talks about Rolling Stone's opinion of a TV show. They talk about Sepinwall's opinion.
There is no final Gamespot verdict because Gamespot didn't play the game, Funky did. The only final verdict Gamespot made was that the review was written properly.
If you're looking for a Gamespot opinion, listen to their podcast or wait for game of the year.
@RSM-HQ: How do people still not understand what a review is. Reviews are a single person's opinion. In this case, it's a freelancer using Gamespot's scale. Mike Mahardy reviewed Mother Russia Bleeds. Two different people, two different opinions, pointless to really compare them. If Marhardy had reviewed this, then it makes sense to compare the reviews.
Resident Evil 3 is a completely different game reviewed by, again, a completely different person. Comparing the numbers doesn't mean anything.
Funky wrote the review, someone read it and thought it was professionally done, and printed it. That's all you can deduce about Mr Gamespot's opinion.
@dzimm: All review rubric's are nonsense because they're based on someone's opinion. Ebert's rubric is nonsense because the target audience isn't a single person. I'm the target audience for Animal Crossing. Does it meet my expectations for what I want from an Animal Crossing game in 2020? It does not. Is it a great game? It is. So how does any number I'd assign to it make sense?
A 7 or 8 and saying the game is great makes sense to me.
@dzimm: Well, now it's clear you're just a troll. They explain their rubric. They say that 8 means great. You can't just say 8 means whatever you want.
@dzimm: Look at the user reviews. It hasn't exactly delivered what the target audience is expecting. An 8 means she thought the game was great. I don't see how you could have a problem with it.
