Ninja Blade is just like God of War except not as deep but still great game.


wow thats quite a statement. I would say it is not as great as God of War from a technical point of view.

Ninja Blade is good nevertheless, it is underrated. 8/10 seems fair for me.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I don't think that you having fun with a game makes reviews wrong. They only slated it as below average according to meta. I've enjoyed tons of games that were below average, doesn't mean that reviews are wrong. Most games are fun, an average game is fun, so you having fun with a below average game is not a huge surprise.

As an example, I have fun with Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars, but that doesn't mean that the meta score or my own review score are wrong.


I disagree.

 

Most games rated 7 or less aren't fun at all.

well many games are underrated - just look at Fuel. it's great fun game with decent graphics yet people are bashing it all the time. i admit that it have some flaws but it's still a good racer especially after first few races it's getting better. i still don't get it how some reviewers were bashing this game. it deserve 7-7.5 mark.

What?! What bull is this?

I love games that are 7 or less, and I've probably enjoyed more games rated 7 or less than games rated higher.

I didn´t find it fun...too many QTEs ruined it for me.

6/10 as far as I´m concerned.

I played the demo and didn't like it at all...then again i wasn't crazy about Ninja Gaiden either.

I agree this is better than Ninja Gaiden 2.

Hell no. but I do agree that its much better then reviews state. But seriously man...Ninja Gaiden 2 is better then pretty much every hack-and-slasher out there.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

I agree this game is really cool. From Software is on a role making games they obviously enjoy making (and it shows). But at the same time I can understand why it got plenty of negative reviews. Not nearly as polished as NG2. And the way you have to constantly go back through entire cutscenes when you screw up a quicktime event... that's pretty mind numbing.

I think it was great fun. I remember a comment i read after one of the first reviews "I really liked the demo but wont be getting it now" when he saw the low review score. Some people really are mentally unhelpable

It is not because a game gets a 5/6 on gamerankings it can't be fun. Look to all those DW fans for example.
