| Chrizum said: For me, articles like this is what is killing gaming for me. IGN prefers flawed realistic graphics to smooth cartoony graphics. IGN thinks online gaming is MUCH better than splitscreen multiplayer. According to IGN, it's even no contest. I can't express how much I disagree with both these beliefs. I'd hate to spend my gaming time playing semi-realistic games with twitchy framerates and no real multiplayer but appearantly, that's the direction the gaming industry needs to go. |
This is why people need to read reviews. As much as people hype or downplay numbers, reviews still have value-- in the actual text. Sometimes what the reviewer sees as a negative may be a non-issue for you or even be a positive. These are actually games that I am most confident about liking. If a reviewer doesn't like a game and only points out things I like as reasons why, it is better than a reviewer gushing over the awesomeness of said game.
