| mii-gamer said: People are allowed to express there opinions, and a handful of harsh reviews doesn't necessarily mean they hate Nintendo. There are instances where Gamespot have showed Ninty love, for example Bayonetta 2, Super Mario Galaxy and they gave A link between Worlds Game of the Year over the Last of Us (greatest butthurt comment section of that particular year). Polygon on the other hand... |
Basically 5/10 means that the game is 50% broken.
And you cant go and whine about feature X but then not about feautre Y in another review.
This has nothing to do with opinion. E.g Visuals are completely irrelevant in gaming they are an EXTRA a nice addition. Smooth framerate is not since it directly influences the way the game is played.
Yet most games with bad framerate dont get CONS for having bad framerate. But when the art style of e.g Yoshis New Island is not as good as the art style of Yoshis Island SNES its a con? WTF? (I agree its looks ugly but that that should not influence the actual score more than framerate)
We need a new review system.
With 1 part focusing on the technical aspects like sound design (can you hear where the enemy is coming from?) Framerate (Is it perfectly smooth or is the framerate killing precision?) Controls (are the controls suited for what they are supposed to do?)
Then we should have the second part focus on OPINION stuff like good/bad music. Trophies. Art style etc
We should also seperate multiplayer from single player score. COD single player s nothing like COD Multiplayer yet it gets 1 score for all of it. This makes no sense. I dont care about competitive online play so how am I supposed to know HOW much "fun" i will have with a 90% COD? I simply cannot know.
(Btw TLoU is nowhere near GOTY imo. When you focus on visuals presentation MORE than on gameplay (framerate?) you cannot be GAME of the year. Entertainment Software of the Year maybe. TLoU is the most hyped game I have ever seen. I mean seriously all the Naughty GOD (facepalm) stuff that happened because of it....
It has exceptionally good presentation etc but it says presentation>gameplay. So it automatically disqualifies itself.
