It got a 9/10 from Destructoid and that douche Chris Carter said it is the best next gen game he played so far

That makes him a douche?

No, I love Dead Rising, the review got me really pumped up, i call him a douche because he made fun of my bad english once in the comments and when I said: "Hey, sorry for my english, I am a brazilian, live in Brazil and never traveled abroad" he replied "Sorry to hear that".



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

i'm not sure and maybe this game is gameplaywise great
but a 720p /30fps game+zombieAI=no AI wouldn't be called a technologycel masterpiece even on current gen(especially not with such graphics).

sounds to me he is either blind or he got a nice envelope with some money in it=presstitude review sponsered by Capcom?


money bribes for reviews is a complete myth.....

that said on the bold part you got your finger on it.... this guy obviously is not rating the technical graphic achievment of the game and apparently of any game looking at his other reviews but the fun factor of the game which IMO is the most important part for a console game.... in other words he is more likely to give a good grade to an indie low res bad frame rate game that is fun to play than he is to give a AAA title with just amazing looks and nothing fun or new behind.... I'm not saying the game deserve a 10/10 but I agree with his way of rating things on the fun value over the technical achievement....

 

it's like music I know countless of drumers, bass players, guitar player that are technical monsters.... it doesn't make their music more enjoyable and fun to listen than way less technical musicians...

the guy is obviously RATING the technical achievement(just read the text)

 

money bribes for reviews is a complete myth....

 

lolololol.

It is the easiest way to get a good rating.

You 'll have to invest 20mio+ dollars + hire very skilled guys to get half a dozen unbiased 10 out of 10 game,but you only have to pay a few 10thousand dollars to get the same effect.

 

Seems you don't know how media works?

I'll quote Seymour Hersh(most famous +rewarded journalist on planet earth)about the state of Media.

"We lie about everything.Lieing has become the staple"

And if you want to know how simple this works:Wiki Noah Chumskies Propaganda model.

or do some research about Randolph Hearsts creation of the spanish-american war(the first media war in history)

 

Of course those guys are not so stupid to buy 10 out of 10 ratings for bad games as this would be too obvious and destroy trust and reputation,but a 10 out of 10 for a 8 or 9 game is easy to be bought and will create more hype and attention than a 50 mio dollar advertising campaign 

Corporations are paying and buying politicians again and again and again(calingl it lobbyism,donation etc)they have been caught manipulating ratings(eg Lehman AAA+ one day before they crashed)the libor,building cartells etc etc but they can't manipulate such an easy thing like game ratings???-do you really believe this??

looking at the fact that marketing communication is my job I probably have way more insight on the matter than you do.... and know all about media manipulation and even legal loop holes or the fact that sometimes it is cheaper to run an ad campain that is breaking laws and paying the fine tahn looking for other ways to do it.... but keep believing that they give money to journalist for things like games that most people don't even read it makes our kind laugh hard at work....

especially to the kind of newspaper this is coming from.... but yeah bribery is everywhere lol

Time and time again, I've seen high profile games score consistently high regardless of quality. GTA IV is a prime example of that. That game could bore me to death, and yet it had scored 10s everywhere. Then there are games like Too Human on the X360, which I enjoyed massively, yet every "gaming journalist" buried that game.
I couldn't care less about what gaming media has to say anymore.

(A bit off topic... but anyway!)


Too Human has horrible controls and a super generic story it deserved all the bad reviews it got.   Plus it took for ever to develop for that reason alone it should have been a lot better.


I played that game for 50 hours. I really really enjoyed Too Human. And the controls where actually very smart, once you got the hang of it. Maybe you and everybody else didn't like it, but I did. The point I want to make is that the enjoyment you get out of playing a game is too subjective to put a number on it.

My problem is less the 10/10 (well a bit also) than the inconsistent and unfair reasons given for this 10/10.

A next-generation game is a game that hovers at 20fps (with frequent low at 15fps, just rewatch the 2 DF videos) at 720p? When KZ which is really a next generation game got a bad score and was just pretty for them, no more.

When almost every reviewers on the earth (even at Polygon) said KZ had impressive next gen graphics.

What bothers me is the lack of consistency in those kind of reviews. Same at Polygon who now aren't disturbed by permanent awfull framerate but a drop every 5 mn in COD (when some reviewers never noticed anything) on PS4 forced them to consider this 1080p version worse than even 700p blurry current gen. When all COD player are amazed by the increase of resolution in the game after the patch. Well I am sure COD players won't care about a drop in framerate every 5 minutes when the game auto-save and would prefer 1080p sharp graphics.

Too much unfair, biased opinion is too much, sorry I can't take it anymore. :(

At least Eurogamer are consistent, fair and in phase with the average score of these 2 games.

The majority of people that played Too Human hated the controls.  With the Dead Rising franchise the majority of people that played them liked them and that trent will continue with DR3.

That first line is so delusional I can't take that review (or the entire site) seriously.



yvanjean on 18 November 2013

TO be honest that 10/10 is out of place but that game is getting much better reviews then I expected.... especially that no negative reviews yet on metacritics.

"...the game maintains a steady 30fps (once you’ve downloaded the day-one patch), even during busy scenes, and once you’re playing there are no loading times to interrupt your journey."

I will wait for the DF second analysis with framerate tested by a fair machine.

Because steady or locked 30fps doesn't mean anything in the strange world of reviewer we live in. And also notice that Eurogamer did certainly review the same patched game as edge and did repeat the important framerate drops and most importantly, the horrible effect on the input lag in the game.
