the weirdest thing is that GT6 isnt even nominated for best racing game

I'm OK with it. If a game includes a single player campaign and multiplayer and one of those components is lousy, it should receive a lower score. If a game launches incomplete, it deserves a lower score as well.

My only issue with the Killzone reviews is Battlefield 4. A game which received many a similar criticism of "rubbish single player; but great multi-player" yet is sitting a full 14 points higher than Killzone at the time of writing. The content of the reviews I have read of both didn't seem to match the discrepancy in scores.

I actually thought the Killer Instinct reviews were incredibly fair for the package that's there. It was reviewed in a similar manner to something like, say, LittleBigPlanet. The base provided means potential for a fantastic future is there provided the users deliver the content. In a similar vein, the base provided here has potential for a fantastic future if the rest of the content delivered is as good.

Though, on the other end of the scale you've got Ridge Racer Vita. A game scoring 44 on Metacritic despite a solid base (which I can testify it does have, having played the game) with the promise of future DLC to flesh it out. So in that respect, I actually believe reviewers were incredibly leniant on KI.

well, i think it releases too late. the guys responsible for the nominations could probably play the review versions of games like forza but not gran turismo since there aren't review versions out yet if i'm not wrong.

i just wonder if this can get a nomination for next year then or if it is just bad luck.

Far Cry 3 had that issue which is a real shame.  It could have taken in some awards but it released too late and didnt get nominated because of that.

and i still didn't play it, damn! i plan to buy that on pc since spring lol.

I would not trust any of those mere dozens of payed (compulsive tweeters) reviewers anymore.

Better trust the hundred of enthusiasts gamers all around the world who are not tied in any way (money-hatted, friend-ed, company-ished) with any of the big companies.

Trust only your fellows vgchartz-reviewers and the User Metacritic scores

Pffft my ass they played those games to completion. Hell, IGN delayed their ZOO TYCOON review because supposedly the day-1 patch will add MP features, lmao. Oh, please.

not sure what zoo tycoon has to do with the games i mentioned but no, i don't think they played all games to completition. i doubt that many magazines even play half of the games they review (well, at least games like gran turismo, forza, skyrim and so on...) and i doubt that it is different to the guys responsible for the awards. but they could play forza, killer instinct and especially mario the last days. mario did even get a score from ign few days ago so that people could play that probably already very long.

I think KZ:SF is a victim of being compared to other FPS like COD and BF. Most reviews I have read always have these franchise being mentioned. Other reviews seems like they have FPS withdrawal. So its like more about the genre rather about the game.

Not sure how reviewers can score KI since its not even the complete version but as I said before on how they scored Crimson Dragon.
