Seriously, its like PLAY giving a 9 or something.

Yeah, a perfect example of which was my 9.5 for Persona 3...


oh, wait...

 

[rpgfan16k]

Hey guyz, what's going on?

:lol

 

[AstroLad]

Oh well, more time for Bioshock.

 

[manxor]

And what makes either of those mags any worse than EGM?

Have you played Sonic?? ...and Play gave GTA:SA a 7.5! (Xbox, US Mag never reviewed PS2 version?)

 

[Jiggy]

jeanne d'arc: 8.0, 7.0, 8.0
luminous arc: 5.5, 6.0, 6.0

If these scores are accurate to the actual games, my wishlist exchanges one Arc for another.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Or we could just buy the games and decide for ourselves.

what if it sucks?

 

[Tobor]

Oh well, more time for Bioshock.

And Metroid Prime 3.

 

[Tideas]

Interesting. EGM gave TP perfect 10s. Yeah, now I know I definitely don't agree with their review scores, lol

 

[JDSN]

And if it does your account goes bye bye?

nevermind, I thought you meant millions.

 

[AstroLad]

And Metroid Prime 3.

Come on, you know I'm bias against the Wii.

 

[xir]

cute.

wasn't there a japanese downloadable demo for d'arc? think we'll get that stateside?

 

[Yoshichan]

And Metroid Prime 3.

And Warhawk.

 

[the chris]

what if it sucks?

Rent?

 

[Tobor]

Come on, you know I'm bias against the Wii.

Samus versus the Big Daddy. Who would win? /gamefaqs

 

[neojubei]

And Warhawk.

Yes WarHawk PLEASE!!! I am still suffering from Warhawk beta withdrawal.

 

[Tideas]

nevermind, I thought you meant millions.

Yeah my bad about that. more of my fault for not reading what I wrote. I mean at least a million

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Samus versus the Big Daddy. Who would win? /gamefaqs

SOLID SNAKE RAWWRRR

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Twilight Princess? The gameplay was a perfect 10/10 however the game lacked a soul.

 

[the chris]

Samus versus the Big Daddy. Who would win? /gamefaqs

Add Goku and Sephiroth in there and we have a rumble.

 

[Lindsay]

brain age 2: 8.0, 7.0, 6.0

Only game on the list that interests me. How did they review the original?

I fully expected both Lair and Blue Dragon to do that badly. The Blue Dragon demo was dreadful and I never expected the gameplay in Lair to transcend the level of the graphics. Even still, both of the games will sell well. Blue Dragon and Lair will probably both sell well over a million.

It doesn't matter in the end because the game will still sell over a million. It is exclusive and a lot of the PS3 gamers are starved for content that can't be found elsewhere. It's a shame that the game didn't score better, but this isn't unexpected. If Heavenly Sword fails to deliver then the Internet will explode, however.

In the end, the casual market won't care about EGM, and Lair will still sell millions

blue dragon will still sell atleast a million....

Do any of these guys go bye-bye when neither game remotely approaches a million ( > 850k)? Or do they pull the worldwide card?

 

[beelzebozo]

can a machine have a soul

[-COOLIO-]

Rent?

exactly, but if it really sucks then it's still a waste of $7.

 

[the chris]

Better than wasting $60 right?

 

[Teen Ape]

The boys at Factor 5 can't be too pleased with those scores given the amount of time/effort/money went into this flag ship PS3 title...whammy.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

lair: 6.0, 5.5, 5.0
blue dragon: 6.5, 7.5, 6.5

I was afraid that Factor 5 just let only their technical abilities shine in light of other things, really no analogy control to be had, who's bright idea was this?! But now Blue Dragon's score too....that's a sucker punch following Lair's slap in the face showing for me. :|

 

[Tobor]

Twilight Princess? The gameplay was a perfect 10/10 however the game lacked a soul.

That's just the brilliance of Nintendo. See Hyrules soul was stolen by Ganon and it was returned when Link beats him. Nintendo is just so awesome, you could actually tell it was misiing!!

 

[traveler]

exactly, but if it really sucks then it's still a waste of $7.

Worse still, it's a waste of my time. It really is unreasonable, in this day and age, to go out and personally evaluate every piece of media that grabs my attention.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

The boys at Factor 5 can't be too pleased with those scores given the amount of time/effort/money went into this flag ship PS3 title...whammy.

just like their previous games they concentrated on visuals and not much else. I remember going on foot in one of their starwars games.......its amazing something so awful could have gotten past quality control.

Well, I meant at least a million, and that's worldwide, not US. I'm not arrogant like that

Yes. Twice. Silent Hill 5 unveiling and then Silent Hill: The Arcade.

 

[beelzebozo]

if bioshock and metroid prime 3 bomb next month, it'll be my turn to meltdown

 

[Vilix]

beelzebozo gaming monthly is the definitive review source
unbiased, unparalleled coverage

also free donuts for subscribers

I'll take a dozen scripts. Glazed if possible

 

[Tobor]

if bioshock and metroid prime 3 bomb next month, it'll be my turn to meltdown

Will you take 1 out of 2?

 

[WickedLaharl]

what did they say about luminous arc?

 

[sebthelobster]

Add Goku and Sephiroth in there and we have a rumble.

pfft, rumble is last gen, sony said so.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

The first time you go to Hyrule Castle in Wind Waker and see everything and everybody frozen in motion, it was a powerful image.

Twilight Princess takes the zelda fan for granted.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

if bioshock and metroid prime 3 bomb next month, it'll be my turn to meltdown

in terms of sales i think Bioshock might make you suicidal

 

[beelzebozo]

Will you take 1 out of 2?

either way, seppukuville

 

[traveler]

Will you take 1 out of 2?

Yes, I can't afford Metroid anyway.

 

[rakka]

Bioshock and Metroid will both score decently.

 

[DSN2K]

I warned you alot about lair a year ago got banned for it, oh well. :lol

 

[Tideas]

Twilight Princess? The gameplay was a perfect 10/10 however the game lacked a soul.

Yes. Twilight Princess. I agreeded with the Gamespot review, but knowing EGM gave it all 10s...heh,

 

[Proelite]

Idk, but I think EGM is going to 8.5 Halo 3 ever since they grossly overrated Gears of War. They're out to compensate. Publishers! Hide your triple-AAA exclusives! :lol Btw, this means Heavenly Sword 8.0 tops. Mass Effect. 6.5.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

in terms of sales i think Bioshock might make you suicidal

Everybody says that, but so many people around me want to get Bioshock and will. I think the numbers will surprise people.

 

[AstroLad]

in terms of sales i think Bioshock might make you suicidal

Maybe, but as long as it plays well I'll be content.

Spoiler

2k executives on the other hand . . . .

 

[rpgfan16k]

Keep posting ppl, this thread is already epic!

Another interesting note: Jeanne D'Arc is the second level 5 game to get less-than-jaw dropping scores from EGM. Same average as Rogue Galaxy, in fact.

Level 5 losing magic touch confirmed?

 

[jj984jj]

what if it sucks?

If you think it sucks, why would you buy it?

 

[sebthelobster]

I warned you alot about lair a year ago got banned for it, oh well. :lol

if you wanna get banned again just go to media create board and tell them ps3 will win japan.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Honestly I didn't expect Blue Dragon to get good review scores. Lair...I thought might at least get average. But those scores...Bomb.

 

[Tobor]

either way, seppukuville

That's honorable. Me, I'll probably walk the trail of tears.
