Forums - Microsoft - Just Cause 2 OXM review 8/10

the demo should be out today



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Last I knew an 8/10 is a good score.

FF13 is getting some 7s...so 7s are GODLY too these days!

No they are not, flawed games are getting 8s and 9s. Today, 7 is the average.

Damn then every game Edge reviews must be average then.

yeah I know what you mean.
8/10 is not a bad score at all, but it's not exactly what you want to see as the first review score, especially when the gameplay videos look way better than the first game.

yea I know  that's like overall grade of  80%, what I do not get is How is 80% not good anymore?

that's like a Solid B+ if you were going by School grade's

It needs to be 10/10 or the game is an automatic fail and then everyone in the world will go cancel their preorders for something else. Then they will go talk about how they have some awesome new line-up coming out and then they will pre-order those. and then the cycle continues when the new game doesn't have 10/10.

The UK version of Official Xbox Magazine has released their review for multiplatform title, Just Cause 2.

I'm actually really disappointed, I was planning on getting this for ps3. Since multiplats are pretty similar nowadays, I'm a bit worried... :(

i dont know why your so disappointed,just cause 1 got pretty mediocre/low scores on average and that game was amazing.

it's a B- or C+ here depending on where you live in Germany.

But good that you used the school grades as an example. Because 50% doesn't equal a decent grade there either.

anymore now day's it's just getting rather silly, How many Time do we see "this game suck's compared to this game"

what is it about compareing game's?

should'nt you want to try the game to get the unique game experience of each game, and what that unique game experience is?

I mean if every shooter game was like call of Duty,

what would be the point in playing anyother shooter's?

It's like "every game now need's multiplayer an co-op to be counted as a good game noday's

that same idea has cropped up even in game review's, which is sad because they most likely dock it point's in the review.

that's why I never take a stake in review's. I play the game for it's experience. if it's a crappy experience than I move on so what I might add, there plenty of game's to play.

What is up with gamers this generation, why is 8/10 bad? does every game need to be a 9 or above to justify a purchase geesh.


what happened is review creep.  the games that use to deserver a 7 are getting 8s, 8s are getting 9s, and 10s are given out like candy on halloween.  my expectations have been adjusted accordingly.  don't blame me, blame the system.

But here is the Thing is that not subjected by who ever is reviewing the game?

I think that's my point, that's why I do not put stake into any critic hell even less for movie critic's if there were to be any stake it would be who is in the Movie. and that is most likly just my Opinion on why that movie may interest me.

what one critic may say it has this score, another may give it  a higher or lower score. yes some may have extensive reason's for it. but it's still their OPINION, and everyone has one.

I tend to make up my own mind.
