Or like some people have been saying, reviewers have been upscoring 360 and PS3 games while downscoring other games, for unknown reasons. At first glance, and seemingly based off of recent reviews, you could make the case that they are upscoring PS3/360 games because of graphics and hype. But that's the exact opposite reason reviewers should be scoring games higher on avg... And even if PS3 and 360 games were to be scored higher based on these variables, then the system should be changed. Only rate 360 games vs other 360 games. PS3 games vs other PS3 games. And Wii games vs other Wii games. Its stupid to think reviewers have given GTAIV a 10 this generation and so now every game following is going to be compared next to it, even on the Wii and DS. |
They're not reviewers anymore. They're people locked in a mindset of gaming that has little to do with actual games. Note how gameplay was little discussed in GTA IV compared to this "experience" that it was supposed to give.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
