I recall a 21/20 sometime ago...

It wasn't us. It was another French magazine.

 

[Rehynn]

Polygon...what a shock!

10's from Edge, Eurogamer, and IGN? Did that ever happen?

Yes, again: Skyward Sword

 

[Broder Salsa]

This thread is now about Polygon.

ok then

 

[iNvid02]

dunt listten to pullygum gayz day nuh nuthn 10.10

please tell me metacritic has banned polygon..fuck em

LETS GET EM BILLY

 

[amstradcpc]

Polygon people must be raging with the Xbone downgrade ( they are still waiting for the secret sauce)...they must liberate the rage via catharsis...and which better way to do it that give Sony´s best game a 7.5.

 

[jacksepticeye]

lol the bitching at polygon is in full swing already

Honestly, stop quoting that Polygon review. Very few people here care about Polygon. They are the butt of more jokes around here in recent times than any other publication.

 

[1st Course]

META = 93

 

[antitrop]

Some of what I have observed, mind you I haven't completed the game yet:

• Best opening of any game ever (of what I can remember)

• 
  
  Better than Bioshock Infinite, holy shit...

 

[pharmboy044]

Great scores. can't wait for June 14.

 

[Drachma]

Some great reviews so far... Though we all saw the Polygon score coming really. Is Gies the reviewer? Maybe the score will go up when the multiplayer is switched on

Very surprised by Destructoid and Eurogamer though.

 

[Sola Scriptura]

A 10 from Eurogamer? Impressive.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Well guys, Sony did it once again. They closed out the generation with a bang.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

please tell me metacritic has banned polygon..fuck em

It begins

 

[De-mon]

My review, 9.8

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Dudes let's not create another 8.8!!! It is what it is.

 

[Interfectum]

Pre-order cancelled. Can't buy a game where it gets a 7.5.

You guys are better than the Uncharted 3 review debacle.

this is what i was thinking. Polygon will be the next Eurogamer.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

I'm not reading your review, Polygon. I see the bait, but I'm not biting.

Reviewed by Don 'Exbawks' Mattrick?

 

[Despera]

From Polygon's review:

fights against waves of enemies or arenas full of waist-high cover where your only recourse is to kill everyone in your way. These sequences sit at odds with the rest of the game.

hmm... If this is true then this could be a reasonable criticism. But if the gunplay is handled real well and these are rare occasions, then perhaps they're making it seem worse than it actually is?

 

[SniperHunter]

Well guys, Sony did it once again. They closed out the generation with a bang.

I am still anticipating Beyond! I think the that game will be awesome!

 

[halogamer]

Dead Space 3: 9.5
The Last of Us: 7.5

Ddos will be their worst enemy for the next 365 days. ;-)

Freedom of speech, deal with it.

Don't forget that they initially gave Sim City a 9.5.

 

[amstradcpc]

Honestly, stop quoting that Polygon review. Very few people here care about Polygon, and they are the butt of many jokes around here.

Are they on metacritic?.

 

[ultron87]

Bwahaha at Polygon. This'll be fun.

 

[Jarmel]

I love the people raging despite not playing the game. It's straight up Uncharted 3 again.

[Delusibeta]

So, the only website to not give a nigh-perfect score so far is the one that received a fat wad of cash from Microsoft at its launch? Conspiracy!

(Admittedly, they're probably doing it for the hits, and their reviews are notorious for being shit. Ignore Polygon, they don't deserve your ad revenue.)

 

[SolidSnakex]

People should really listen to Adam's review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEs33aWkX2Q

And I mean listen..don't watch it.

 

[FirewalkR]

Is 7.5 the new 8?

And will GAF survive this??

9/10

highest score i've seen them give.

The Mirror: 5/5

The Last of Us review: Is Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic epic the best game of this generation?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/s...-review-naughty-dogs-post-apocalyptic-1929209

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

So Gunslinger and Remember Me are better than Last of Us according to Polygon?

 

[Auto_aim1]

How much did GT give?

 

[dragonflys545]

Polygon changed Simcity score like 100 times. Why would they even matter?

 

[Ratrat]

please tell me metacritic has banned polygon..fuck em

This is so dumb. Have you guys learned nothing from the Ubcharted 3 review mess? Calm down why not.

It begins

Or people are desperate for something to begin?

[SlasherJPC]

I don't mind that Polygon scored it lower persay, the game didn't gel as well for the reviewer obviously... BUT from a technical, sound, and graphic level alone I can't see how it get's anything lower then an 8. Unless this really fuck up towards the end. Though this means that they scored Remember Me (which is a good game imo) better then The Last of Us and that feels odd typing out.

 

[KingKong]

well if this is true

More notable problems with The Last of Us manifest as it leans more on the traditional trappings of third-person shooters — fights against waves of enemies or arenas full of waist-high cover where your only recourse is to kill everyone in your way.

then 7.5 seems fair to me

 

[Pachimari]

Better than Bioshock Infinite, holy shit...

Mind you, I haven't played BioShock Infinite.

 

[TheMink]

Where is that thing that was that gears review polygon did that was pointing out a bunch of flaws but it got an A+ anyway?

 

[Uno Venova]

People should really listen to Adam's review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEs33aWkX2Q

What does he say? I'm avoiding reviews for now but I love his videos.

 

[DukeBobby]

Dudes let's not create another 8.8!!! It is what it is.

It's just knee-jerk reactions. After a while, they'll look back at their posts, and realise how stupid they sound.

 

[Shining]

Pre-order cancelled. Can't buy a game where it gets a 7.5.

This got me.

 

[Burt]

Whys everyone freaking out about the Polygon score?

Where is that thing that was that gears review polygon did that was pointing out a bunch of flaws but it got an A+ anyway?

That was 1up.

 

[Jim Sterling]

Gamers, with a world of tens to choose from, focus instead on the one disagreeable score.

... while simultaneously complaining it was done for attention.

 

[levitan]

Polyfuckingon and their reviewers.
