You know. It's not easy for these game sites to actually find people whom are good at games AND decent writers. As I see it, W101 is what is called a game that requires execution skills (using a fighting game term) to master. Keza obviously lack execution skills. Which is why she would be completely destroyed if she ever competed in a game. That is kinda the problem when employing people whom is'nt skilled gamers and have them review games.

Something similar happened with Gamespot's Zelda Skyward Sword review. The reviewer sucked at the controls and assumed we must all suck as much as him.

Still, a review is just a glorified opinion, so they're within their rights to suck at the game. We just need to not take them so seriously.


Why do you think he must have assumed that? He wrote the review based on his own experience with the game. How else should he write it?

Some of you people... ¬_¬

Man this game looks embarassingly childish. How could I not be ashamed to play it in public?

It looks cool though... something to play locked in my room, alone.

D'aaaaw, aren't you adowable!!! Oh yes you are! Oh yes you are! Goochi goochi goo!

I actually thought your post was funny.

"I played the demo!  I know everything about this game!"

Glad to see an appropriate level of maturity in this thread. It'd be really sad if people were being dismissive or calling people idiots because they disagree with their opinion on a game that is only available in demo form right now. Goodness, could you imagine how petulant that would sound?

Thankfully, no one here would do that...



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

It was just the way he framed it, such as "there  are enough noticeable issues to keep you from enjoying the sword-swinging fun." He should have said: "for me to enjoy it."

He has every right to score it as he did, it's his opinion. I just think he presented it poorly.

I doubt you would have complained about it if he had used the same sentence structure to praise it instead.

Not gonna lie, I respond more positively to people assuming I'm skillful than people assuming I suck at something.

dissapointing
i though everyone knew ign is garbage/rubbish

Why post that one review when all the other reviews are very high scores? It looks to me as if Nintendo have a hit on their hands. Now what needs happen is Nintendo fans to support it.
