Can't wait to see how Amazon censors the LotR universe for this one.

It seems obvious that the CMA's pockets are being filled by Sony.

But also, let's not forget the UK isn't exactly full of geniuses. Its ppl voted themselves for Brexit w/o even knowing what it was.

Was the franchise really suffering after 3 and CV? Honest question, I can't remember.

If anything, I'd say RE7's "save job" was more significant, given how poorly 5, 6, and the various spinoffs did.

edit: oh, nvm, forgot about all the bad spinoffs between Zero/1 Remake and 4.

Metroid Prime isn't a remake. It's a remaster.

Honest question, how can anyone in the industry not know the difference?

OW1.5 is already on Season 4? jeez...

I was never a huge fan of the meticulous movement or mechanics designed around movement in Shovel Knight games, and no, I don't simply mean the pogo stick in the first Shovel Knight. That alone makes me reluctant to check out Mina. Definitely looks cool, though.

Good list. What a great console. Some personal faves of mine (altho not universally acclaimed) were Comix Zone and both X-Men games (yes, even the bad first one). And Earthworm Jim 1+2. Which I think was considered better on SNES? But I still loved it on Genesis.

I'd be content if this (and Hogwarts, since ppl seem to bring up politics) got a 7 instead of 6's. The reviews did not make either game sound just "fair". But who knows, maybe Jordan and whoever reviewed Hogwarts DID want to give those respective games a 7, but docked it down 1 point for reasons outside of the game.

I don't think that's the case, if it were for non-gaming politics. Tbh, I think just a lot of GS reviewers are simply overly picky or want to sway review curves or something.

@daidochus: I don't agree w/ "Gameplay > Story", not for all games at least. But yes, Pentiment's 6, Doom's 9, etc...I do agree w/ your points there.

@Crazy_sahara: But Gamespot didn't say it was bad. They said it was FAIR. That's a 6. Stop thinking anything below an 8 is "bad". This isn't the American school system.
