Hello everyone, why all the upset. A 7/10 isn't terrible, and if YOU like the game the reviews shouldn't affect you much. Come on guys, sometimes we aren't going to agree with a review, but that doesn't instantly make the review biased...

I guess since I've yet to play the game I really can't have a subjective opinion of it myself. I doubt I feel that it deserves less than an 8.5 or 9, but everyone has their own tastes, likes/dislikes. Eurogamer is no different.

 

I think the real problem is all the people who are going to use the metacritic against sony as a way to bring it down. If they didn't do that so avidly, I doubt half of the people in here would care about this review at all.

I partially blame the Sony hype trains. If it wouldn't have been a title that Sony fans started obsessing over after Killzone 2 came out then I don't think that people would be so quick to call out the a game on sales and reviews....

I must say that logic like this escapes me.

Let me get this straight. Sony fans (in this case anyway) get excited about an upcoming exclusive game that looks to be a quality title.

In turn, those who dont like Sony feel they should try and discredit the game in any possible way (latch on to less than glowing reviews, talk about how it wont sell as much as a game in the same genre, etc.)

This action then serves to make shit that doesnt matter, actually matter (like a 7 from Eurogamer, which isnt bad considering MGS4 got an 8 there.)

And you blame Sony fans for being excited in the first place? Right. I guess PS3 fans have no right to be excited about their exclusives, while everyone else gets to be excited for theirs. Punch Out had people blowing their load over a fucking DK sighting.....No one asked them to calm down. I see people creaming over Alan Wake daily even though we barely know anything about it. Nothing's said. But oh gaming gods, dont get excited for a PS3 exclusive. You have committed the unholiest of forum sins.
