If reviewer understands the goal of this game then its surely score a minimum of 8 otherwise it going to be mixed based on what the reviewer like in games.


What does a goal of a game do to its fun or value? I will repeat my example from yesterday:

A dev-team wants to make a new racing-game. In doing so they decide the most crucial part of the racing game is not steering, it's accelerating and breaking. They let everyone in the public know about it so nobody can say they didn't know what was coming. Now the devs achieve a level of graphics no one has ever seen before in a racing game, everything is jaw-dropping. They even manage to make the accelerating and breaking extremely difficult and challenging, millimeters are crucial in every corner of your trigger buttons.

But in the end it's a beautiful looking racing game where you only accelerate or break.

Now the devs achieved exactly what they wanted to but how would you rate this game, compared to other racing games? I know this is an exaggeration but how does the goal/vision add anything to what the game is in the end?

Bad example.  It does not work like this.  I believe that any game must be reviewed for what it's conceived to be, not lowering the score because that Reviewer was expecting a different game, or the game does not have all the features other games have. My opinion. Thanks God we have something different sometimes...something unique. Also, what is 'fun' and 'value' ? How can we define it ? GTAV got one of the highest score in the last 2 years, but I didn't find it so funny, I didn't even finish it! Plenty of contents, huge game, but I find it boring, with all those boring missions.

I predict a good 80-82 metacritic.

It will be a pretty decent game that we all would have called a rental if it were multiplatform.

Anything above 75 will be a pleasant surprise.

I'm predicting 72.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I'm predicting a 67



I´m predicting 74.

Should be an entertaining thread and I hope that there won't be too many bans.



Hi all

Us mods are really excited about the fall of the embargo on The Order. It is going to be great to see a variety of gaming journalist's viewpoints on the title, and to see some opinions on how great or appalling those viewpoints are.

If you think The Order looks great, tell us about it. If you think it looks poor, tell us about it.

But if you have a go at a poster, rather than engaging with their comments in a constructive way, you're probably going to get moderated - if we're not too busy reading The Order reviews.

And try to bear in mind that at some point, you've gotten your ideas across, and there are simply going to be those that don't agree!

Cheers
Starcraft :)

What sort of review system measures out of 90?
