that said on the bold part you got your finger on it.... this guy obviously is not rating the technical graphic achievment of the game and apparently of any game looking at his other reviews but the fun factor of the game which IMO is the most important part for a console game.... in other words he is more likely to give a good grade to an indie low res bad frame rate game that is fun to play than he is to give a AAA title with just amazing looks and nothing fun or new behind.... I'm not saying the game deserve a 10/10 but I agree with his way of rating things on the fun value over the technical achievement....
it's like music I know countless of drumers, bass players, guitar player that are technical monsters.... it doesn't make their music more enjoyable and fun to listen than way less technical musicians... |
the guy is obviously RATING the technical achievement(just read the text)
money bribes for reviews is a complete myth....
lolololol.
It is the easiest way to get a good rating.
You 'll have to invest 20mio+ dollars + hire very skilled guys to get half a dozen unbiased 10 out of 10 game,but you only have to pay a few 10thousand dollars to get the same effect.
Seems you don't know how media works?
I'll quote Seymour Hersh(most famous +rewarded journalist on planet earth)about the state of Media.
"We lie about everything.Lieing has become the staple"
And if you want to know how simple this works:Wiki Noah Chumskies Propaganda model.
or do some research about Randolph Hearsts creation of the spanish-american war(the first media war in history)
Of course those guys are not so stupid to buy 10 out of 10 ratings for bad games as this would be too obvious and destroy trust and reputation,but a 10 out of 10 for a 8 or 9 game is easy to be bought and will create more hype and attention than a 50 mio dollar advertising campaign
Corporations are paying and buying politicians again and again and again(calingl it lobbyism,donation etc)they have been caught manipulating ratings(eg Lehman AAA+ one day before they crashed)the libor,building cartells etc etc but they can't manipulate such an easy thing like game ratings???-do you really believe this??
