"LOL. WTF?!?!"

I'll try to make it simpler for you.

IGN widely considered to be the best video game website on the internet gave Uncharted a 91 and Fable II an 88.

Die Hard Gamefan was the greatest American Video Game Magazine of All Time. It is the only American Video Game Magazine to ever rival Famitsu as the World's Greatest Video Game Magazine. DieHard Gamefan is currently called Play Magazine.

The Editor in Chief of DieHard Gamefan was Dave Halverson. Dave Halverson was the original editor of Play Magazine. He has now taken a break from those duties at Play but is still reviewing games for the magazine. Dave Halverson and his associates like Nick Des Barres have been the greatest American Video Game Journalists and reviewers since the days of the Genesis, PC Engine, and SNES in the 16-bit days. Something that can't be said for some 25 year old handing out ten's for Fable II at some of the publications mentioned above.

Play Magazine gave Uncharted 10. That means it is AAA even if a site like Game Rankings only gives it an 89.

He also gave golden axe beast rider a 90 which makes it AAA? Except that pretty much everyone else called it as total trash.

 

 

LOL.  His hero Dave pretty much called IGN rubbish based on their Golden Axe review.

i saw my friends playing fable 2 and i am not impressed. They said to me the magic sucks and fable 1 is way better.

Being about 25 hours in, I can say first hand that the magic is great, combat is great, economy is great, game is great.  If you doubt I have played the game, look at my gamercard. Or go to XBox.com and look at my achievements.

Went to all your links I stand by my staements below

Sure let me make it simplier for you if gameranking gives it an 89 its NOT a AAA game.

IGN is not considerd to be the best game websight by me, so there goes that argument. Play magazine I can point out plenty for Fable 2 stating best game ...yada yada yada

Sorry to say the defintion of a AAA game can not be based on one or two reviews.  Thats the beauty of gameranking

 



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Why is there only 7 games 90+ on the Ps3 for both metacritic and game rankings but you have it at 8? Also, if you were waiting for new additions to settle wouldn't it be 5 for Ps3 since bioshock and LBP were just added? Don't be a condescending ass to me. I expect my apology now.

Rockband 2 is 92% and currently but its not listed yet and its been confirmed as a 90%+ game for the Xbox 360.

 

Like you said... it's not listed yet... as in according to metacritc or gamerankings(as says in his sig) there are only 7 titles right now. And he said he was waiting stuff to settle... well fable 2 has more reviews than LBP and Bioshock... and it released before LBP and with Bioshock... so niether of those should be included. He should have 5 for the Ps3. But this is still beating around the bush with the real problem. Only reason he changed it to metacritic is because it favors his agenda.

And I remember a long time ago a user (i believe DMJ) argued with starcraft that he only chose gamerankings because it fit helped his cause. and starcraft swore that wasn't the case.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/rockband2

Its listed, it has a score of 92%. As the scores are a direct copy n paste from the Xbox 360 review which also had the same score it makes sense to add it. It just hasn't had enough reviews yet.

LBP/Bioshock are both mid 90s games. The chances of them falling below 90% (and making Starcraft look like a bigger ass than some people think he is) is much much lower than a game like Fable 2 sitting on the bare edge of the 90%/89% divide. Also as hes seen to have a bias towards the Xbox 360 he can be much more generous with the games included on the PS3 as he doesn't get as much scrutiny from that side.

 

Spin it for him however you like. This site knows you two are in bed together with 360 spin.

You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby round round right round.

Actually im in bed with Makingmusic476 according to MaxwellGt2000. And the little guy said "roll over" and because of that we all rolled over and Starcraft fell out. So while that may have been true once, its not anymore.

 

Starcraft?  How drunk was I that night.  >_<

You don't even remember the magic?

 



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

"If you go to gamerankings Uncharted is no longer at 90%. So that's not AAA exclusive?"

A little misleading info here. IGN gave Uncharted a 9.1, they only gave Fable 2 an 88; and IGN has long been the best game site on the web. And if that wasn't enough to make Uncharted a AAA game, then a review score of 10 in Dave Halverson (the greatest American video game magazine editor / journalist to ever live)'s Play Magazine (Direct Descendant of the Greatest American Video Game Magazine of All Time Dave Halverson's DieHard Gamefan) certainly is.

*80-89's are good games but not great. Much in the same way that a B+ on a report card is a good grade, but then again it isn't an "A".

Were you lying then, or are you lying now?

You change your opinion to suit your argument. You have no real opinion, except PS3 games > Xbox 360 games. Who are you fooling. You're a 40 year old man, what happened to you, sir?


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.

How did it "go" AAA? Lol I thought the game was already great

Yeah saying its a AAA title makes me a fanboy, considering I own every system. Played all the bigs releases on them , and comment on the good and bad on each system.

I'm just sick and tired of fanboys of Sony going into the MS area (and vice versa). I find it funny seeing people commenting on stuff they have never played, or systems they don't even own.

no, saying that anybody who says otherwise hasn't played the game makes you a sound like a fanboy. mainly because i'm pretty sure that there are people out there who played it and disagree with you. i played mass effect, and i thought it was a pile of shit. yet that's "aaa". you see, it doesn't always work your way.

the fact that you own all 3 systems doesn't mean you're not a fanboy. i'm not syaing you are one, but that doesn't make you immune from that status.

You just mentioned IGN as the best video game website on the internet? Play Magazine credible? You just lost all credibility. +1 Ignore.

 



It's just that simple.
