I don't understand...so no one is allowed to like a game more than another? or dislike a game all together? Because as far as I know, video game reviews and scores are always a matter of opinnion. Sure, you could tell me that a game like Uncharted 2 is great. But what if I believe the old E.T on Nintendo was better? That's also the thing, everyone here thinks I'm fliping out or something. I really don't care...like I said, the only thing this would do is tarnish Famitsu's reputation. It wouldn't make the game any less spectacular, and it sure as hell wont affect scores. |
Thats why the review system is broken in our industry, as well as them reviewing for ad money and in order to push their views on others.
but take for example a not so great movie, like jet li's THE ONE and compare it to an excellent movie like sisterhood of traveling pants. (have no idea, just tried thinking of some movie i think got great reviews) I'm sure traveling pants is a better movie, but i would never want to see it, and would enjoy the one over it a billion times.
but in our video game industry traveling pants woudl get a 6 or something and be called casual shovelware shit because its not hte type of game that our reviewers like. not saying The One would get a 9+ or anything, but it woudl definately be higher rated than some casual junk.
So for your example that is bullshit. You may like E.T. more than uncharted 2, but it is not a better game. Hell I can think of 50 games I would rather play than uncharted 1 again (havne't played 2), but i appreciate uncharted 1's game and would not rate it bad out of me just not enjoying that game. It just wasn't for me, but like when rating movies, you can't rate an action movie always higher than a female drama due to your tastes. you have to give them an honest review for how good they are and not your own OPINION. Its us readers job to READ your review and figure out if it is our tastes or not, not having you shove your tastes down our throat.
