Forums - Microsoft - Proof that reviews are meaningless

SpartanFX said:
every single reviewer is saying that gameplay is very buggy,,,now how on earth did you get to conclusion that AID is better than MGS4?t,,,,,Well it could be that you don't even own MGS4 and been pretending all along to take stab non stop at PS3 without being called out for since you supposedly own all three consoles,,,,

It's fine to like 360 more than PS3 if a person owns them both,,,but it's something else that some one would say he/she enjoyed a bug fested game more than a brilliant game like MGS4.

Let me know if you want me to write you an email describing Metal Gear solid 4 from begining to end to prove I played and beat the game.

If Alone in the Dark came out for my PS3 I would have said the same, system doesnt matter. I didn't say this was better than MGS4 btw...jsut that I am enjoying playing it more. One can deffinetly tell that MGS4 is a better produced title with wider appeal.

So few games these days provide new gaming expereinces...most of them are slight variations on existing formulas with souped up graphics and different game covers. And thats fine...

All I can say is that there are parts in alone in the dark that I've never seen before... gameplay wise. As someone who has been gaming since 1988, this is what I appreciate in games a lot.

I'm not really surprised that you were damning the Wii version based off of reviews but had a complete turn around upon playing the 360 version whereas pretty much everyone agrees that the game is mediocre at best.

Hmm...

lol,,leo I think it's safe to assume that he hasn't played MGS4,,,,

 

he is just pretending that he has PS3 so he can criticise the game and then don't forget about his upcomming Thread about selling his imaginary PS3 since PS3 is not good.

 

 

 I completely agree with you, him squillium and sieaner have tried there best to attack the game. The funniest part is that squilliam thinks the game runs on par with GTA4(rofl), and he also believe MGS4 has pre rendered cutscenes, truley pathetic.

Aww arent you two funny...here you go especially for you...

Spolers...

MGS$ starts with live action commercials, some about excercising, some are a game show, some about shooting guns with laser vision. After that the game really begins and snake is on a truck getting shipped in to battle...

First boss is laughing octopus and you fight her in a house after a long scene where Naomi tells you that you are infected with foxdie which is mutationg. After you beat the boss you have to follow the footsteps of naomis using you IR vision.

On the end you fight Vamp who you have to stab with a nanomachines suppresnat needle to beat him. After that you control metal gear Rex for a bit and fight Liquid in metal gear Ray. Then the second last boss is a female version of Psycho mantis with 2 dols on each side...you have to shoot the dolls. The last fight is with Liqiod on the deck of a submarine and is probably the most boring end fight in any vidoegame to date.

Does that prove I've beaten the game?

 



@Spartan and Leo

You guys need to learn what opinion is. I mean unlike you do, most gamers dont live, eat and breathe MGS4. Secondly, who is the bigger troll? The guy who has a bunch of pro PS3 sigs or someone who states and substanciates his opinion?

You guys are funny.

That's not so much proof as evidence you have different preferences than a single reviewer. Who would've thought?

Considering most people on this site pase their arguments around metacritic scores, I think this is proof enough.

 

 Doesn't matter how you wish to spin it, it's not proof of anything ever.

 Well smart guy...how is not the fact that a game that was reviewed at 3.5 is more enjoyable to me than a game that was reviewed at 10 by the same publication proof that reviews are meningless?

In what way does a reviewer speak to you and your gaming tastes when reviewing a game?

Because the world doesn't revolve around you. But if it did then reviews would indeed be meaningless in this case.

Of course I am assuming that the point of this thread wasn't just to say you have a different opinion to a reviewer. If that was actually the point I would've replied simply with "Duh" and left it at that.

Meh, I hear the same schpeel for every low rated PS3 game.
