Whats with all the news about Haze reviews?
I know it's not a bad thing for people to want a game to be good, but this game isn't exactly like GTAIV which had reviews popping up on forums before it was released.
I can't understand why people are so interested in what review this game gets.


PS3 fanboys are hoping it's good, 360 fanboys are hoping otherwise.

So they must make threads whenever it gets reviewed... It's so annoying that every review Haze gets will warrant a thread... Someone should make an official thread.


I agree. Someone should make an official Haze review thread, especially since it's getting mixed reviews. Too bad I don't trust any of them who reviewed the game already.

I don't think this game will score AAA status, but it could be a decent shooter.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

That also has to do with the ridiculous way metacritic handles reviews with letter scores.

I did some investigating. And for every Ps3 exclusive game (that I played) they are always close to the bottom at metacritic.

Here is another example but not as bad as yours.

The very last one. (22 points from the average)

2nd to last one (21 points from average)


 Heh, just like the Haze review, it's pretty much a short summary without much explaining.

It'll probably get an eight.


 Add one, then divide by two.



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

That happens when all the games announced suddenly get "AAA STATUS CONFIRMED", before fans even know what the game is going to be about. I'd say Killzone 2 should not be hyped like it is, probably it wont do better than the 1st one.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I think it's a generalization about game overhyping as a whole. Killzone is probably the next closest "unknown quantity" game that is being fed through the hype machine.

This is one of the PS3 exclusives(timed exclusive) that I already lost interest in. I could care less what it gets.....
