 they gave 50 cent 4/5. Maxim is just a Skin Mag, NOT a gaming mag.

Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

I think this goes to show one very important fact though. Mainstream gamers are not the same as the "Hardcore" internet dwelling gamers. Nobody here has even played the game but are calling "BS" because internet dwellers take hype into consideration when reviewing something and Killzone is definately at least a 9 without even playing it based on hype alone. They fully expect the game to get 90% or above just based on marketing and the industry buzz.

But for a mainstream gamer, you give them a stack of games and they are just going to say which one they like best. They don't know what's going on on the interwebs, they work at a softcore porn magazine. given SFIV, KZ2 and 50 cent blood on the sand they are saying from the perspective of the guy at the office that doesn't know shit about videogames other than he plays them on occasion, that he liked 50 cent better.

And that blows teh hardcorz MIND. Because without even having played these games they can say objectively with absolute certainty that he is wrong. TEH HARDCORZ is not the MAINSTREAM. And the mainstream is what buys 90% of videogame software.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

The problem for KZ2 is that Maxim is the type of publication that will appeal to the casual audience. Specifically the ones in the KZ2 core demographic of 18-30 year old males.
It's all well and good having a game for the gaming hardcore, but there aren't enough of them to translate into massive sales for a game, it needs to appeal to the "less informed" gamer as well like the GTA series does.

just to spice things up, if maxim gave this game a 5/5 would people still question its credibility

 

Of course they wouldn't.  

 

Any site/mag that posts a review with a less than amazing score is obviously clueless, bias, fanboy ran and has no credibility, no matter how well known the reviewer.

 

Of course if some no-name site never heard of before gives the game a 10/10 this review is 100% credible and completely fair.

QFT! We need to make a list of reviewers who are "biased against PS3." And seriously MEGamers, wft are they, and when did they become credible?
