| twesterm said: Yeah, it's a pretty rare thing that the last 10% of a game will suddenly turn it from an 8 to a 9 and pretty much unheard of for the last 10% to turn it from a 4 to even a 7. It's easy for the end of a game to hurt it (Uncharted and Uncharted 2 both come to mind) but I can't really think of a game that's bad enough where I would call it a 4 to have the last 10% to bump it much higher. |
This. Video games are all about the journey, not the destination. If even the first 50% of your game is an unfun mess, then that certainly justifies a reviewer panning it. This is 90%. You do the math.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
