NOT just Eurogamer, and Edge, but also "games" (yeah, good name... "games"... I don't know... Go to Metacritic... But "games" also gave it a score of 80). Okay, so three reviewers, gave it a score of 80. Okay. Now, "WHY" did they give it a score of 80? Especially, this early on, when hype, naturally drives one to give a higher score, this early, before the game has even launched. Wait for more reviews to come in? See, that's the thing. Later reviews, are always of lower scores. I'm sure 70's, and maybe a 60, or two, will come in, later on. If three reviewers gave the game 80, when the game hasn't even launched, that definitely tells you the game is not what it's supposed to be, and it will end, far lower than what it should have been. But hey, screw the reviews, right? They don't know anything. Okay... But are they simply "imagining" such flaws, to give scores like 80? Prove me wrong. But hey, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. Scores will not improve. They will be lower, throughout time, so 80's now, is an ignominy for a MGS game, with only EIGHT reviews! |
You assume that all reviews will only be lower from here on out. It's not definite.
Also, why is it horrible that MGS4 is recieving similar scores to MGS3 (and better, in certain cases such as GameInformer)? It doesn't matter what order the reviews were released in. Edge and Eurogamer gave the same score to both games. GamePro did as well, only a 10 in both cases rather than an 8. GameInformer gave it a higher score than MGS3. That sounds great to me.
And I don't even know who GamesTM is...
