Ah, another "praise/kill the review site depending on score" thread. This time it's pitchfork time.
Of all the many hypes we already saw this gen on all consoles, the one which emerged around Heavy Rain during the last few weeks feels like the strangest and most faked one to me. Quick time hype, so to speak. |
emporers new clothes...?
I'm getting Heavy Rain and will play it through... but I think there is a strange elite attitude surrounding the game
It is almost as though it is impossible to criticise the game because Heavy Rain is somehow arty and high brow and that means it shouldnt be criticised because the developers have been brave.
|
It's ok to criticize it, but with fair and honest critic. I can take EDGE score, but I can't take this teletext crap. Have you read the review? If it's fair by you, why the hell would you want to get that game? Are you masochist?
|
Because I formulate my own opinions... ONE bad written review doesnt shape my opinion. Why cant people just ignore it as an oddity... this constant bleating about the odd low review is just childish.
|
The same reason you cant ignore the thread where people want to talk about it.
For as much as you go on about opinions youre quick to take the time to enter a thread you seem to not care about and argue with people interested in the topic and trying to express their OPINIONS on it rather than just letting the thread door hit your ass on the way out and letting people discuss the topic at hand without having to explain to you why they want to.
Now, on topic. That said as has been pointed out already this is, what, 30 points lower than any review theyve done in the past? They must have hated it but they dont have a history of doing anything crazy so it must just have not done anything for them.
