Dead Rising 3 seems to be a mixed bag of Good and Very Good.

I'm most happy to see KI has solid reviews. Its not even a complete game yet.

Confirmed: MS spent money to keep PS4 reviews low and X1 reviews high.

Sooooo...multiplats?

Read his comment and judge for yourself.

But here are the exclusives.

One:

DR3 - 78
KI - 74
Golf - 68
Crimson Dragon - 56
Lococycle - 53

Average: 65.8

PS4:

Resogun - 82
KZ - 74
Knack - 58

Average: 71.3

I don't know why anyone would say what he said when One actually got lower scores than PS4 (multiplats included or not).

So if XB1 had 5 90+ games and 10 5 rated games, and the PS4 had 3 80 rated games, the PS4 line up is better because its average is higher?

Averaging out the scores is stupid unless there is an even amount of games. Fact is XB1 has an exclusive rated on par with Killzone (KI) and one that'll be above Reso (Forza) and then Zoo Tycoon, Ryse, Power Star and Dead Rising to boot which PS4 has nothing to counter with.

I've followed it, yeah. The headlines don't exactly scream that it will be rated 75-, do they? Quite the opposite actually. To realize it will be below that, you'd have to read comments by people who have played it (and are not limited by embargoes).


I've done better than that, I've watched people play it myself. I've read comments by people that have played it, "half way in in 30 minutes" or whatever that thread was, in reality it's around 7 hours long.



 

Looking through this thread... that Knack score is downright criminal.

That's horrible logic. It just shows that PS4 has less to choose from. Besides, Lococycle and Crimson Dragon shouldn't be in that considering they're going to 360 too. So how about you make that even.

So 2 success stories for Xbox gamers today.

1stly Killer Instinct. Wow. What a reception. Coments like next year will be the best fighter ever etc. Really happy with Double Helix here. 6 characters and 1 mode of play and it is right with the likes of full games Killzone and Call Of Duty. Gameplay is flawless. Cant wait for re reviews and new content in March.

Also Dead Rising 3. Looks to be a great experience. And people seem to love the open world epic. Should fnish around 80 meta to.

With this in mind Forza 5 should 'SHOULD' do 90+. After all it has more content than any other next gen title period.

Really happy with the launch from a sales perspective. As for me? I don't care for reviews. I already new what I wanted. And it looks as though I wont be disappointed.


For somone who doesn't care about reivews you sure take them to heart when they suit you.



I have to say some fans are looking pretty desperate in here. Trying to compare 3 exclusives against 8. Taking an average of 3 scores versus 8 scores is pretty funny. I guess VGC never changes. Completely negating the Killer Instinct talk of being one of the best fighters ever made next year.

Its like Killer Instinct is KI Prologue. Gameplay fighting perfection.

It is always best to go by what is written in the review itself and not the overall score.

Take Killzone for example. Majority say it is the best in the series, yet it is scored 10 points lower than the KZ3, which is considered worse than KZ2.

Between everything we have seen so far, I would wager than Forza does not score 90+. Going by the logic used by reviewers throughout the last couple of weeks it should be an absolute impossibility.

If it does 90+ with half the content of the last game ill eat my hat. 



Okay so, selnor1983, if review scores dont matter to you, stop talking about them, and seece, we get it, you reeealy like xbox, but kindly stop twisting the rules to favor your chosen platform, when you compare launch offerings all of the games matter, regardless of multiplatform or exclusivity.
