.. Interested and will get this game.. maybe Eurogamer also thinks its suppose to be a FPS shooter like COD perhaps?.. just like how IGN reviewed zombiU with COD googles on.. and got disappointed it wasnt anything like COD.

but eurogamer gave ZombiU a great score (as far as I remember a 9) ..



Around the Network

If you think they game looks good play it, we can't live life worrying about everyones opinion on a game, just buy the thing and worry about your own opinion.

Looks kind of like Super Stardust and that was great. But, Eurogamer say there are some camera problems with this game.


It's a top down shooter how can there be camera problems? 



And this, kids, is why review scores don't mean anything. And why metacritic is a useless tool for judging the quality of any one game.

*EDIT*

A quote from the review:

"Ultimately, Nano Assault Neo is my least favourite kind of game; the kind that follows in others' footsteps with little to call its own. It's not a bad game in the conventional sense - it's not tedious or broken - and it's even moderately amusing, but it's not especially refined and I'm not sure why it exists beyond trying to score a quick buck during a deserted launch window."

how is that response "brilliant" in any way ?

it's factually wrong as the review is clearly different to other reviews for that game and that's a very good reason for it to exist as it offers a different perspective on the game, something potential buyers should appreciate even if they ultimately don't share that perspective

people who want it to not exist either are more concerned about the meta-score than the game or need a 100% positive feedback to make up their minds about whether or not to buy it

 

and ofcourse simply exchanging words of a text to alter it's meaning has been done to death already, that's not something I'd describe as "brilliant" anymore
