Never seen games marked down due to them having no multiplayer. Especially RPGs.


Most games do from Gamespot. Some examples: http://uk.gamespot.com/lara-croft-and-the-guardian-of-light/reviews/lara-croft-and-the-guardian-of-light-review-6280082/ (the game has local co-op)

http://uk.gamespot.com/rayman-origins/reviews/rayman-origins-review-6350874/

I think it's kind of ridiculous, but that's just me

What does bad technique means?

So, how did they review Skyrim ? Does the lack of MP play a part?

bad technique means the graphics. pop ups, low textures, shadow flickering, some bad animations, stuttering and things like that.


All of which Skyrim had and did not get points off for. This is why the Review industry is a joke.

for people like me, it makes more fun to play that lara croft game with a friend. so yes, the game was worse for me as long as it wasn't playable with others. i don't see the problem, if people don't want to play with friends, they don't have to look at this minus point.

there is a difference between a game like skyrim which can't run without that growing gras in the backround or a game the reviewers know exactly the same game could be without pop ups.

btw in the reveiw they say: "it is much less busy and detailed than skyrim" so if the game is much less detailed and busy, has even more problems with animations and has even less textures than skyrim, you want to get the same score for graphics?

and the same magazine said about skyrim:

- animations, some bad textures, bad physics, pop-ups, little aliasing

My dig was at Skyrim, which is highly over rated review wise (played over 100 hrs. So I can say that). Dragons Dogma should not have been hit for no MP though.

I have to disagree with you there, Skyrim has more bugs than any other game I've played (Well... other Bethesda and Obsidian games), including game breaking bugs, crashes, terrible animation issues, shadows and textures randomly disappearing, and the AI also spazing out... it's unfair that it got a near perfect score, and even a perfect 40 from Famitsu...

Also, just from the demo, I found Dragon's Dogma's graphics to be more visually pleasing than Skyrim...

It's stupid that games are reviewed by ONE persons opinion... they should have multiple people from each publication reviewing it, and give an average score between them, showing everyones thoughts and opinions...

the game got 5 peoples opinions and they decided for that score. that's what they do with all big games, play them and decide together on a round table.

and i never had a problem with skyrim. i really don't get why people always have problems with it. same with oblivion. had not only one crash within 300 hours and i read everyhwere about crashes...

and you didn't quote my whole text, i wrote that they said the same about skryim with bad textures and so on. but skyrim is just a bigger world. as bigger it is, as harder is it to get it right without problems. if you would release a game with onyl one room, you just can't say "but it only has as much problems as skyrim" because it would be a joke to have problems in such a small area.

Sometimes I think people read just what they wan´t and how they want. I already said that it was meant as joke. And if you would have read trough this you would have noticed. And btw. IGN and Gamespot are not the two biggest Gaming websites for no reason. But this post was meant as a joke.
