Anyway I looked for the Edge review of FF X but I couldn't find it. But honestly it would be just to understand how bad a reviewer can be. FF X is in the top games list of many FF players. Mine for sure. To have given it a 6/10 just shows a total lack of competence. And yes, I read also the couple of negative reviews for FF XIII-2, at least the one showed in the Metacritic. It seems to me that most of these guys give bad reviews to popular games just to raise THEIR audience. Otherwise they would still sunk in the anonymity they belong to. |
That's aboslute rubbish Edge don't have to adhere to the feelings of fans nor do any other reviewer for the matter, for one 5/10 is average in Edge's scaling which meant they found X above average, many people liked X but many people also didn't to claim it's a lack of competence because it got a score you don't like is being big headed and I'm guessing you also don't know how Edge rates and reviews games either. They're an industrial mag as well as a gaming one so they look at technical aspects, innovation as well as what progression a game has had over it's predecessors and even things like glitches can result in the score reflecting it as seen with the Fallout games.
This is why getting a high score in Edge is seen in the industry as a notable achievement, if every outlet reviewed like Edge the would a much more accurate reflection of the quality of games today.
