All just a publicity stunt IMO, and unfortunately its working.

Hope metacritic doesn't count with Edge's score case they give a(nother) ridiculous score to GOW 3. How is it even possible to ignore vgchartz reviews and count with Edge?

I'm glad I read the Edge review. I had slightly considered investigating the purchase of this game. Hearing that the first 20 hours are easily linear kills it for me. I can't buy a game that I feel I'm trudging through just to get to the "fun parts." Maybe a rent. Or a gamestop $10 game at the end of the year.

 

Since when did "linear" become a synonym for "boring" or "not fun"? Some of the best games ever made are totally and utterly linear. 

Since people started losing their minds.

 

This I agree with.

I have to say this caught me by surprise.

Given the game is technically fine, then for me it's at least limped to a 5 or 6 out of 10 right there. Reading the review I'm really surprised they didn't go for a 7 - which would be game is fine technically and okay for the genre but nothing special.

A 5 means the game has serious issues, which is pretty much going against the general views which seem to be the game is fine if somewhat linear and nothing new.

A 5 means that the game is fine technically and okay for the genre, but nothing special.

A 7 means that the game is very enjoyable, and has a few flaws, but is among the better games in its genre.

This is Edge.

they're just stupid FPS lovers with no sense of criticism. FFXIII can be a bad game by the opinion of some, but not in quality, just in the way it is created.

no you are totally wrong.

1-5 means it sucks, no exceptions. A 2 just means they hate the game and it sucks.

6-7 menas it is good "for a Wii game"

8 means it is good

9 means it is AAA

10 means it is overhyped.

Bayonetta was a great FPS, wasn't it?

yeah, i didnt think about what i posted that much :P

 

but i hope you understand what i mean, because FFXIII can suck - i didnt play 'til now, BUT can it be reasonable to rate it THAT low? it cant be, that Game Informer and IGN are that wrong with their score, so i think EDGE is like a common Fanboy in reviewing. 'nah, not my type. so i give it a bad score.'
