| Vetteman94 said: Thats complete bullshit. Games may be hyped before release for being exclusive, but once the ratings start coming out that doesnt matter. Games reviewers could give less than shit about whether the title is exclusive or not. Do you think reviewers cared that Gears of War was exclsusive when they were rating them as one of the best TPS in recent history? Or Uncharted's exclusivity is what made it one of the greatest Action Adventure experiences on consoles today. Or that Halo's exclusivity is the reason it is still the defacto standard for FPS games? |
Journalists usually review games for their preferred platform. You'll see the same journalist or journalists reviewing all the Xbox exclusives, Playstation exclusives, or Nintendo exclusives. Most journalists are going to have some sort of bias. Aside from that, you also have ad revenue which further increases the score for fear of getting the ads pulled. Additionally you have reviewers giving high scores for no other reason other than to appease the fanbase and to because they're hyped about the game themselves. Let's not forget that journalists now days don't score anything atleast playable below a 6/10.
Uncharted is and the rest of the franchise is a good. When they overrated every decent exclusive that comes along, they're bound to get it right once in awhile. Uncharted is a franchise deserving of its praise.
As for DMC and God of War couldn't be more different. You're right. One series is good, one not so much. They're both the same style game, because they play slightly different doesn't mean anything. In both games you string both single and preset combo attacks together. Devil May Cry 2 sucks, but let me just brush it aside and say it's good "because it's different."
