| Doobie_wop said: So basically, it's been about five years since this generation started and reviewers still don't know how to write a review for an online multiplayer game. Most of these reviews are ragging on the bots and the 'campaign', when they should be primarily focused on the online portion of the game (which is all of it). I have no interest in Brink, but I do enjoy reading reviews and some of the ones that have come out have been atrocious, it's basically getting the MAG, Shadowrun, Warhawk treatment of 'if it doesn't have a campaign, then it sucks and doesn't deserve a full price'. Once again, the light will be shed and it will become really easy to tell which reviewer is actually good at doing what they do and which reviewer plays games as a weekend hobby and only got the job because their professional writing course couldn't land them into a better field of work. Eurogamer and IGN have already proven that they are among best at what they do and Joystiq have proven that I need to stay the fuck away from Joystiq (1UP has always been horrible and are irrelevant). Brink should do fine sales wise, if Homefront and Medal of Honour have taught us anything, it's that online gamers don't care about reviews and are willing to jump from game to game. |
