Then, he hits you with some MAJOR spoilers in the storyline. Pretty much ruined that for me. So, I had to stop reading towards the bottom.
Not the BEST reviews... not the worst either.
If I had to give it a percentage... somewhere between 75 and 80 is appropriate for this game.
I will say that his negative points:
I mentioned in my Steam review as well. None of which I think makes this a 6/10 game either.
6/10 is by pure definition BELOW Average in terms of grading. In terms of numbers 5 is the average of 0 and 10... but when you account for grading... in any environment (school, gaming, etc) a 60% is terrible. Even a 70% is pretty sub par.
Anything 75 or above is what most people consider to be "decent".
If a 10 is the max than a 6 should be considered above average. A 5 on my own personal scale is average while a 7 is pretty damn good imo. That's just me though.
Guys I hope you realize that someone can play this game several different ways. Some of the ways one could play are PS4, Xbox1, Pirated copy to name a few.
Again... by GRADING standards... that's not above average. Might be "average" but certainly not "above". Grading standard versus math... not the same.
Binary Domain, Bulletstorm, Red Faction Guerrilla, Serious Sam 3, Hard Reset, Shadow Warrior, Singularity, Mad Max, Wolfenstein The New Order...those are games of 7-8 for the press, masterpieces for me, so they can kiss my...yeah, that.
Hidden agendas, checks, advertising, subjective filias and phobias, mithomany for the great names...all of them bowed to GTA V and I was bored to tears with it. So thank you but I am old grumpy man, I can form my own opinion just nice, today they overwhelm us with previews, trailers, gameplay videos, making offs, devs interviews, etc, etc, etc...we don't need fancy reviewers that much.
I was wondering if I should buy this game or not, and while gameplay gameplay videos was seeing somewhat bland to me, most "professional" reviews like IGN has the smelling of "I'm being paid to rate it good" since it all was kind like "OMG! SO GOOD! I'M FAPPING TO IT!" and the gameplay videos didn't saw THAT good.
On the other hand, the players reviews by most of them just have that crazy fanboy touch with minimal critical sense like "OMG! BEST GAME EVER! I THREW MY GIRLFRIEND OUT FOR IT!", like if the game didn't have absolutely any flaw while I can easily spot some important ones that bothers me in the gameplay videos.
Gamespot one was the only review that actually made sense. They went through a much more impartial path, ignoring the hype and analyzing the game itself. If you love or not this game, you can't deny that they made concise points and was careful both to criticize and to praise.
The internet is full of fanboys praising their games like if it was the best game ever and is very rare to see someone actually being coherent in his analysis. And if you played and liked the game, wtf you cares if they gave it a 6 or an 8? I remeber one game that was rated 3 and I just loved it, and another that was rated 8~9 both by reviewers and players and I just hated it. What I expect from reviews, especially professional ones, is to it to point me out the flaws mainly, not act like a Fallout fanboy glorifying something he not even played yet and will rate it 10/10 with 30 minutes in game. I lost count of how many times I went with the flow just to find out that an 8~9 game was just a huge pile of "meh".
You dont agree with the rate? You think they worth more? That's why they are doing the review, not you, because they try to be critics, not fanboys. What destroyed profissional game criticism was not the bad rates, just the opposite, the high rates for just crap games or exactly rate 6 games being rated more.
Nevertheless, consulting a large pool of review sources is always the best. Generally the best rate is Metacritics player review, some times it really could be IGN or Gamespot one. It will always depend of what are you expecting from the game and what the reviewer was expecting himself. Right now, I think Gamespot was the one seeing the game with my eyes and taste, not IGN, not most player reviews. I was hoping for something more hardcore, but the lame combat system and the shallow immersion logics may break it. Beautiful graphics never ever was a hit on me, and after so many GTAs, neither car explosions is.
That said, Mad Max may be like Shadow of Mordor to me: I really liked the game and had fun with it, but only one playthrough that made it don't worths the cost to me. On the other hand, Batman Arkham games, despite being much similar and I also only doing 1~2 playthroug each title, felt much better and enjoyable.
