I am waiting for EDGE review.

 

I bet if EDGE gives a 6 we have another meltdown thread. Or imagine if they give it a 4 like they did witcher.

What what what???? I can forgive them many things, including this review because a 7 while lower than most other review so far is at least not miles away from an 8/9 but a 4 for Witcher????????? GTFO, seriously, I don't think I can ever trust another review from the writer  of that articile again if this is true, is he senile or into drug or something????

 

I think you missed my comment afterwords. which said "Actually I was a little wrong, they gave it a 5, but remember a 5 from edge means 7.5 from IGN. (but a lot of people don't know edge uses a different scale, so it is funny when a meltdown happens because of it."

I still think the Witcher was one of the best RPG in recent time, giving it a 5 means its worse than game like Resis2 and Fable2 which I call BS.

Edge has no consistency to justify it's review diversity, the same point in two similiar game could be ignored or critically slammed at the reviewer's leisure. (Fallout was panned for having too many gliches, while Fable 2 (which had some game breaking gliches at its launch) barely got a mention in that respect.

This is why I hate them, they hide behind a veneer of civilized journalism but they act more like a tabloid, 'sensational journalism' to them means going against the trend simply because they can.
