Forums - Sony - Destructoid LBP 2 review 7.5/10 (Jim Sterling of course) - what do u think?

Guys, ignore the scores, and read the reviews themselves. Also, just FYI, remember the Sonic Colors score? Yeah...



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I'm just gonna wait and see how PS3 fanboys rage over this and how we will hear about people creating accounts on that site just to bash the reviewe. It should be fun.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Why would anyone expect anything else? The first game was innovative, exciting, new and a pretty good game on top of that. The second one cannot benefit from being innovative, it's not new anymore and some of the excitement would have worn off. It'd have to be an astronomical game to match the first because it doesn't benefit from it's newness anymore.


so only innovative games get over 7.5?

ok looks like 99.99% of reviews ever written are wrong.

I LOVE Jim Sterling reviews, they may be brutally honest but they always cause a shit storm, what's amusing is, I don't think when Fable III got massacred by him any of the X360 crowd decided to make a thread about it, but when PS3 exclusive gets crucified.. *Shitstorm inbound*

You can't be serious. When the Fable 3 score was revealed half the review thread was spent shitting on him and his site, I know mainly because I was defending his review from the feral 360 fans willing to reference his weight and mother. 

I will still defend Jim by saying that even though he is inconsistent and I'd like to think he does lower or raise review scores on purpose (Deadly Premonitions 10/10 or Assassins Creed 2 4/10) to start up shit storms just for the sake of it, he still does write some good reviews and the LBP2 was one of his better ones.

Also, the people saying that he uses the full scale are wrong. He just fluctuates depending on his taste, a game could look and play the best, but if it involves space marines and he doesn't like space marines, then his probably going to give it a 5/10.

Any links of the 360 fans going nuts over the Fable 3 scores, don't recall that much tbh.

I'm sure that Jim has a valid point or two, but seeing the number of perfect scores this game has gotten, I'd say it's safe to assume that it's a good game.

I've got it preordered anyway, t'was 49.99 on FS boxing day.

This site really needs a search function.

After reading through it, I've realised that it wasn't as bad as I originally thought, I must of mixed it up with the Alan Wake thread or something. Though it does have some backlash with people calling him a fat ass, saying he talks from his ass, someone calling for his death using superpowers and just some mild attacks against his reputation as a reviewer. It still backs up what I said, which is that every exclusive (or even multi-platform title) that is reviewed lowly by a specific site is going to be defended by it's fans and it's not specific to one platform. I've seen it happen with Reach, Alan Wake, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid, Crackdown 2, as well as Sony games.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

We aren't obligated to trust him because he's a reviewer.

I wish people wouldn't give him so much attention. That's all he wants and that's why he gets paid.

Cheers I'll have a read later, I do recall some small outbursts to Halo Reach scores but other than that it I've rarely seen too much whining on 360 scores.
