| Marucha said: I'd have to play the game or watch a Youtube of someone playing it in a real world situation to see whether the criticism in this review has weight... that's a problem if you're not doing a video review. I think that's one of the problems getting worse with website reviews. They are used to being able to do video reviews and the standards for writing a regular review has gotten lower and lower... it's like, "we know you read multiple websites, so I'm not going to put all my effort into being objective, make this more like a blog and fill it with my unfiltered thoughts. However, watch our videos, because then you can see our faces and we can feel important and personality counts! ♪"...just my 2 cents. Other than that, OK... I usually weigh my decision based off of numerous reviews anyway, not just one... so no biggie. |
Same here since there is so many opinions.
As far as video reviews vs written reviews, how many sites actually do video reviews? I can only think of a few. Gametrailers, IGN, and gamespot. And Carolynn Petit usually does a phenominal job at reviewing games with a lot of details. Not saying you said she did a bad job.
@everybody_else I reccomend the people who does not agree with this review to read or watch other reviews. If you guys don't like this review then fine, but there is no reason to attack her on a personal level. She has had to deal with the same constant attacks since joining gamespot and it is immature guys. No reason to attack her based off of her looks.
