well this case.
It is a critisism if you want to play the game on easy. It's not a fulfilling to that particular person it should get dinged. If they don't want people to play it in easy. DONT PUT AN EASY MODE IN.
However stated. I know review in formats are not that good. But videogame reviews everywhere in general are so awful essentially everywhere including this site. Yes there might be a few reviews. But videogame reviewers have.
But look at the meta average everywhere. The review scale should not be 90% in the 6-10 range. That's omitting 6 whole points on the scale. |
Oh it could be argued that hiding the endings from easy mode adds replayability?
|
yes, but from that revieweres perspective it didn't. That's why there are more than 1 review on the internet. From that persons perspective the review was completely valid imo.
if you don't like the game that much to begin with you're not going to want to replay it again. It can add replay value for certain people, and I'm sure it's reflected in those reviewers scores. Or it can negatively take away from the experience like it did in this case. The perspectives should even out.
Obviously the best review would incorporate both perspectives but then assigning it a numerical score doesn't really work.

But...it's his job, it's what he gets paid to do...played the game from start to finish and test the game as best he can.
Everybody knows that Easy mode is when the game doesn't try too hard. Think about it, if Dark Souls had an "easy mode" for example and the reviewer played that and then said the game was really easy and didn't live up to the expectation. That's being unfair to the game, it's the exact opposite of people moaning that game X didn't get 10/10 without playing it.

dark soul's doesn't have an easy mode. for the people that want to play it in easy mode like "darth" it should be fulfilling.
He should have played it in other modes. But I mean, I'm pretty sure revieweres didn't review dark soul's in it's enhanced difficulty after beating it once. and other games to the like. Or Catherine in all the modes, theres' only so much time reviewers can dictate to a game.

I know it doesn't, it was an example. ¬_¬
If you can't play the whole game, then you play a happy medium to get a full representation of it.
How can you judge the quality of the AI for example if you don't play it hard
For example, I would never have realised how broken Pro Evo 12 was if I hadn't played it on all difficulty levels.
If you don't have enough time to do multiple playthroughs then play it once on Medium to get the best of both worlds. I don't buy the excuse that oh noes!!221 my job is too hard, I don't have enough time!!
If you can't finish the game, either ask for more time or say so in your review, don't then lie and say the game failed you, that's inexcusable.
