| Machiavellian said: Lets be honest, in today's market an 8/10 is not considered glowing by most gamers today. You only have to read the forums to see how most gamers feel about 8/10. 8/10 games are considered renter games or buy used for highly discounted. They do not inspire the gamer of today to purchase the game day one at full retail price. Anyway, I rather get the honest feeling of someone than the one everyone wants to hear. Yeah Cliffy did not like any score under 90 and thats to be expected of someone who spent years on a project, loved what they did and felt it was a great achievement even if it's not. I hate the fact that it's so easy to jump on such statements and attempt to make them bigger than they are. It's his feeling and he has a right to it. We may not agree with it but we do not have to because as human we all go their. As far as I am concerned people like Jim Sterling is the problem more than Cliffy B believing his game should be a 10. To make such a big deal of such a statement is more childish than Cliffy believing his game should not score lower than a 9. |
@bolded. I guess Sqaure Enix should be furious with a score lower than 10 considering the development cycles.
OT: I think he has a point. Sure, they're not hater reviews, but kind of unfair ones. A 9 or (at least) 8,5 seems more appropriate.
