We can't expect a good score for a PS3 exclusive on Polygon.

The Last of Us - 7,5 (Metascore: 95)
God of War: Ascension - 7,0 (Metascore: 80)
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - 6,5 (Metascore: 85) * the same guy, by the way

That site IS A JOKE.

That's some logic right there. How do you feel about 9/11?
 
Got to be a mistake, or he's thinking he's connected a head shot but hasn't. He said this was the same thing for Uncharted but it isn't. Generally in Uncharted a headship is a one hit kill unless it's an armored helmet wearing heavy.

Yeah, this. I doubt ND would ignore something like this because it is a pretty big issue for a lot of people. Headshot is an instant kill. Always has, always should be.
 
GAF hates games that review well.

I think I'm just going to avoid gaf for a while

First, "GAF" is not a hivemind, and you should probably learn that because mods ban for that shit. Just a heads up, not trying to be mean I don't want to see you gone just because you're being a little naive. Also, nobody hates games that review well - nobody is in kindergarten or thinks it's hip to "go against the crowd." Virtually all us like this simply don't care about reviews one way or another and form their OWN individual opinions, which often are at odds with the reviews because game journalists are a joke.

So Darknessbear, do you really need to do this AGAIN? Just ignore the posts that offend your delicate sensibilities, and quote and respond to posts which frolic without negativity and have rainbows and pretty butterflies hovering over their posts ;P
 
I don't see what's wrong with this. I've rented and beat almost every Sony exclusive on PS3 for cheap. If Sony has no drm for ps4, it will probably be my main console of choice just so I can be able to rent or get used games for cheap. None of my PS3 games that I bought are new. All are used from Ebay at 60 or 75% off what you would get at retail stores.

Really? You don't see what the problem is? I guess gametrailers documentary was right about some on GAF not understanding the industry. You do realize zero day full price sales are super important to a games success right? If you don't support the developers at the most important time why should they value your opinions on their game?
 
You guys should of written off Polygon a long time ago,... long before the review for this game. I thought most people already had done so, honestly.

He gave Ni No Kuni a 6.5...what the fudge. This guy should stop reviewing games. Only being half sarcastic.
 
So this is Uncharted 3 eurogamers 8/10 all over again?

Did you even read the text?
 
It'll be really interesting to see them caught between a rock and a hard place when Diablo III comes out on PS4.

Late ports usually score lesser marks in most cases, unless there are notable improvements or additions.

In any case, I'm looking forward to The Last of Us! Will probably hold off for a month or two while I finish Fallout:NV and State of Decay.

Ehhhh.... To be fair, I'd honestly give Ni No Kuni a 6.5 as well. I put in 23 hours and stopped because the combat was lame and the story wasn't hooking me. This is coming from a huge Level 5 and Ghibli fan.

Does not compute. I found the combat to be simple, quirky and fun. The fun is in the Familiars and mixing up abilities for tactical or dramatic effect.

its a joke indeed.

imagine if your paycheck depended on sucking up your master(ms) and had to bad-mouth their competitor all the time. some miserable folks over there.....
 
Ah yes, the old "post the lowest score to show up at the bottom of Metacritic, drawing the ire of gamers and scoring hits".

On the other hand, I think it's time we broke the 10 scale. 12/10 for TLoU sounds more appropriate.
 
*takes a look at the OP*

What. Don't think I've ever seen this many 10's before. What the fuck. Okay, I'm hyped now.
 
I agree with a lot of people that the inundation of 10's for what seems like every huge release certainly has me skeptical... But the game does look amazing.

Might be the first game I buy at MSRP for the whole year.

They even gave Journey a 10 (Metascore: 92)

THEY NEVER GET IT RIGHT ITS A CONSPIRACY
 
Did you? He criticizes it for being ultra violent and keeps going back to it, almost as if he wants it to be another game or something.

This was my main beef with it. He completely and utterly missed the point of the game and it's premise. When the chips are down, and when your life and survival are at stake, when everything is shitty and anyone can be a threat, the killer instinct in you is what you rely on to get by, and you have no choice but to desensitise and accept it as a natural way of life, even if you have a young passenger.

In such a world, even if you had a daughter, or especially if you had a daughter, you'd do exactly the same. It's the harsh reality the game exemplifies.
 
Why no rage of Gamespot and their 8? Dat .5 salt.
I believe it's because of the stigma of the connection Polygon has with Microsoft through independent funding.

I think it's a little ridiculous, but Ni No Kuni getting a 6.5 is shameful.

Didn't Microsoft only fund the documentary and not their day to day operation or the creation of their site? Last time I checked the facts, this was the case.
 
I wonder if someone can do a statistic analysis on these review scores and see which sites are the most biased...and which sites always goes with the average...
