Still glad that the multiplayer aspect is getting glowing statements even in the marked down reviews. Titanfall is epic. Roll on 14th. I will lose my life to this game. And finally all my friends who don't have an Xbox One yet will finally game with me this Friday. We all will have one then. Even my PS4 mates are getting it. We will have enough for 12 of us to play without anyone else. Come on Friday dammit. |
Actually, I have seen FPS games get marked down for not having multiplayer or having tacked on multiplayer. The reality is that games are not judged in a vacuum. At $60, it's going to be judged against other FPS games that have both a SP AND a MP. In that regard, I think it's understandable that there are so few perfect scores.
Of course, that's also why review scores are meaningless without context. I don't blame the people who make the scores, I blame the people who check review scores without reading the article. One person might be disappointed in no SP while another might never even play a SP if it was included. There can be no standard for that. People need to get over scores as anything but a rough, non-standardized guide.
