If my tone is at all negative, or cynical, it's because people keep telling me that my opinion is wrong, and invalid, despite being grounded and based on real facts. You're not insulting me, I just felt that last comment was a bit rude, I did take it personally, sorry. I said most of those games are average because of their metascore. Most of the games mentioned, which you are refering to, had scores in the 70's, some as low as 71. Even Uncharted only got an 80, where the PS3 versions typically score 90+. How do you know that I haven't played a single PSV port/enhanced remake? I belive I stated before that I have played PSV in store demos. --- Also, I don't believe that you're using the term irony correctly, that's why I feel insulted. What's ironic? What am I doing, and critisizing others for? |
Damn it. I had this big block of text typed up and I accidentally refreshed and it got wiped away. Here's my cliffs notes (
)
1. There's disconnect because you place value in reviews and metacritics scores while I ignore them. A lot of favorite games have scored poorly on metacritic for one reason or another and there's been plenty of terrible GOTY contenders that get 90s.
2. I don't consider playing a demo of something a qualifier to give a final say on the quality of the game. I have no idea on how much time you spent with each game (that would creeeeeepy), but I'm just going off the information you supplied. There are exceptions where a game is so broken or messed up beyond all hope, but these are not these extreme cases. If I didn't enjoy a demo, I wouldn't call it a bad game, but that I didn't enjoy it and I'm not interested in buying the full game. I'm not qualified to review it with the short amount of time I spent with it.
3. Ironic only because I would consider someone stating the quality of a product or service they haven't experienced by using another's opinion as the reason for the view as ignorant.
