Forums - Sony Discussion - (Probably) First Heavenly Sword review - This is next gen!

As I have said for every other game thats come out recently, Ill wait for the big sites/mags to review it.

The fact that the two current reviews are from a magazine with 'PSX' in its title and another one thats Sony based dont really give me a huge amount of confidence in them.

Just as many people who HAVE played the demo claimed it was a pretty looking buttonmasher as claimed it was a good game. Take a glance through the HS forums on this site and you'll see im right. I was interested cause i wondered if it was worth buying a PS3 this yr on universally great HS reviews. They didn't come, it was 50/50 at best, so im not. And this review clearly states that KEY GAMEPLAY AREAS such as bosses, enemy variation, lack of secrets and poor collision physics are LACKING. The point is these reviewers have said that gameplay was lacking even if they didnt mean too. They clearly care more about graphics than anything else.

The demo was the GDC one, and you've now seen 2 reviews give it a 9 and 10.

But hey, judge away at minor flaws that you are overemphasizing. I guess reviewers shouldn't list a complete assessment so people don't pick apart their reviews.


 Minor things? Can some one please tell me what he just said, cause im clearly reading it wrong? KEY GAMEPLAY AREAS ARE NOW MINOR THINGS? Dont worry, i understand now.  The reviewers clearly place far greater emphasis on technical specs than gameplay, lenght and depth.  At first i couldn't understand why windbane was defending them, now i know.... he does too.

I'm asking you once again - are you for real? You didn't read this review you dumbass ! Your posts are out of this planet you know ! Go back few posts and read review summary translated by Wojtas - and quit this bullshit because you act like total idiot and paranoiac.

Edit:

Try to read my previous post addressed to you once again.

I'm shocked how pathetic people can be... Why so many people try to discredit this game because of great graphics... It's an asset. Did Genji get 9+? It looks sweet you know. Zelda? Yeah... Zelda is a direct competitor for this game. Why not Oblivion? I like the analogy to Gears. Game is intensive and there is also Hell mode. You will need at least 22 - 25h to beat game twice. You will WANT to beat it twice. Regards bosses. There are 4. Every single one is great.
Starcraft is the dumbest poster in this thread so far. Probably he will commit suicide after few more positive reviews. He didn't read this fucking review and he start to bitch that reviewer don't care about gameplay... Do you even know what 9+ mean? Are you for real? How old are you? 12?
If you feel bad because of this review try to accept it. This game will get 9 - 10 everywhere. Wait.
@Kasz216
C'mon this thread isn't about Play review.

 What is it with you man? Someone questions a reviewers motives or values and that person is "the dumbest" as long as its a Sony game being reviewed? FACT: Many people are claiming the gameplay is reminiscent of a "button-masher." FACT: Game length, enemy variation and physics all affect gameplay significantly. FACT: This review notes that these features are substandard and yet still gives it a VERY high score based on its graphical pro's. FACT: At no point in this forum have I claimed graphics are not an asset, but they alone should not garner a game a high score, and in this instance it appears they have.  

 

Clearly when you started this thread you werent prepared for anyone's opinion to differ from your own, and clearly anyone that questions the credibility of someone who rates a Sony game as 9+ based largely on graphics and who works for a magazine called "PSX" cannot be more capable than a 12 year old. 

 

ATTENTION ALL GAMERS, if you decide to have an opinion that challenges a Sony exclusives greatness, you will do two things: garner the wrath of Kber81, and prove that you are under 12!

@ starcraft

Are you kidding? Button-masher? Is GoW a button masher for you? Ninja Gaiden maybe?

Physics is perfect in this game. Go back and re-read my post about issues with collision detection (Kai's crossbow)

Variety of enemies doesn't affect on gameplay - let's say we fight uniformed army. No magic here. It is a minor problem. It would be nice to have more enemies but it's not a drama.

Based on graphical pros? Man you know nothing about this review ! I'll try to translate gameplay impressions to provide some info about it especially for you.

You told someone they were making weird predictions, i think 9.5 million is a "weird" prediction.

So saying the psp will only sell 25million by year's end is not a wierd prediction? Even though a new psp is coming out and in japan pre orders are exceeding exectations. You may think 9.5million is a wierd prediction but anything is possible especially with a ps console.

I know I'm a bit late into this discussion but:

Your signature predicts that the PSP will outsell the DS for the rest of the year, and you're calling someone elses prediction weird? Sorry but your predictions are WAY off base.

Time to Work !

For the last time dont bother translating graphical impressions i am NOT questioning the games graphics, I LIKE THEM.
You say the physics are "perfect" but then tell us there is a problem with them?
Again, I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME, i simply said that a LOT of people who have played the demo claimed that it was a button masher.
Variety in enemies doesnt affect gameplay? Less than ten hours is a good thing if its repetitive as hell.
ALL i have done is question the premise this reviewer has given for the high score, with overwhelming praise for graphics but quoting numerous cons that damage gameplay. I also questioned their motives, as have many in this forum, as the magazine they write for is called 'PSX', which i assume means PLAYSTATION EXTREME

Also, I wish people would stop making shit up with AAA and AAAA... these descriptions have nothing to do with review scores or anything, so stop throwing them around.

AAA means the title is a fantastic game with a large following that is expected to have large sales. Examples are: GTAIV, SMG, SSBB, Halo3, GT5. These are the heavy hitting, console selling titles of each generation. They are games that are expected to be of exceptional quality, have a large budget, a lot of advertising and, most importantly, are practically guaranteed to sell millions upon millions of copies.

AAAA is just some crap that leo-j made up and has no meaning.

Now let's hope we all fully understand the distinction and stop using these titles without meaning.
