If they told, for example, that they prefer Sci-Fi settings, then yeah, it will make sense. It doesn't make sense when they say that, in 2009, a game need to be innovative in order to get a score above 9.3, why it was 9.8 in 2008? Who knows. It also means that, in GT, from now on, a game won't get a score above 9.3 if it doesn't innovate, and we both know that they won't abode by this rule. And on another note - Great avatar :) I'm planning to play Juri in SSF4 |
Things change, that's how the world works. Also, you know, you might want to stop and think that maybe, just maybe, in this particular reviewer's opinion, Gears of War 2 innovated more, or simply was just that more much fun. Now, honest to god, I think it's fairly well-known on this site that I'm no big supporter of the PS3. That said, Uncharted 2 looks absolutely glorious and when/if I ever do get a PS3, the two Uncharted-games will be one of the biggest reasons why. But it doesn't look like it innovates much, from what I've seen. It looks like Uncharted 1 again, but with added multiplayer. Is that awesome? Yeah, I'm sure it is. Is it awesome enough to bump the score up massively? I'm not sure it is.
The thing everyone in this thread needs to embrace is - Different strokes for different folks. This guy thinks Gears 2 innovated more and liked it better. Does that make him wrong? No, it's his opinion. Rather than trying to scream your longues out about how terrible he is, why not theorize on what Gears 2 did better than the first one, and not in a condescending way? Maybe then, you'll understand his viewpoint a little better.
Other note: Thanks :) Really excited for SSF4, and I can't believe how great Juri is. She just might convince me to switch my main from Ken, who I've had as my main since I was a kid and played Street Fighter II at my friend's houses.
