He has got a point though, some games are better on PS3 (like Castlevania) yet the PS3 version get equal score on both consoles from gamespot for example. Then look at Bayonetta and it gets 1 whole point more on 360. I know that they do play both versions but seriously; with most games the PS3 review feels rushed. This is only common from western reviewers though primarily UK and US reviewers.
I also heard that PS3 version of Castlevania looks better, so i will buy that.

It's not about what version of the game is better in reviews, not as long as the experience is essentially the same. Castlevania can get the same score for both platforms if it's the same experience (even with slight graphical differences), but the graphics in Bayonetta (PS3) were so bad that they affected the experience. When it makes a difference with the experience you get when playing the game, it's worth detracting from the score. If it doesn't affect the experience, no reason to hurt the score over it.

Castlevania has game effecting frame rate drop issues on the 360, so there goes your argument
|
It's not whether they affect the game, everything affects the game. It's whether it affects the experience, and if it doesn't, the score doesn't need to be different. So my argument is intact, as neither of us have played the game and can judge this ourselves, we only know that journalists will drop the score if the experience suffers because of these issues (as seen with Bayonetta), and as they haven't, the experience is probably pretty much the same on either platform.
|
No it really isn't from what I read the 360 version practically freezes every time you use a certain move, how does that not effect the experience?
|
I haven't read up on it to be honest, but I expect reviewers to reflect issues in their scores. If these framerate drops do affect the experience really badly, then I would expect that to be reflected. We can't know this for sure until we get our hands on the game ourselves, which is why we have to rely on reviewers for now.
So, if the reviewers are dumb as shit and don't want to put the score down because of complete and utter loyalty to the 360, I will gladly change my opinion about this when we get the game in our hands to try out, but I really hope that that is not the case. I would much rather assume that all these reviewers have some integrity, and wait until we can prove their scores to be an utter mess, than assume that their scores are a total mess, and totally discredit these reviewers before we play the game ourselves.
