| dougsdad0629 said: I was thinking about some of the bigger releases of the last couple of years and wondering if some of those games would have gotten as high of a score if they weren't part of a big name series. I'll give a few examples. Were Resident Evil 5's "tank" controls forgiven just because it's RE? Would the ungodly long cutscenes and complex controls of Metal Gear Solid 4 have been tolerated if it wasn't a MGS game? Would Grand Theft Auto 4's clunky controls and jittery framerate have been tolerated if it wasn't GTA? I have no doubt that all of these games would have still scored well if they were new IP's, but how much does a name really help their scores? |
alot apparently. There are lots of those so called high scoring games that i didnt like. And its not just the name, most of those games are made by huge companies who pay the reviewers to give them those high scores
