Tbone on 13 February 2009

I think 8/10 is a good score or is it just me.

Wait!

COD4 and RE4 were both revolutionary and received 9/10's

Cod WaW and RE5 might get 8's

So revolutionary games = 9's/10's while normal games get an 8?

What about Killzone 2?

Only in todays ridiculously stupid Game climate that only 9s and 10s are acceptable scores. 8??? How quaint, I expected a 9. Who the fuck cares? This is just getting stupider and stupider.

 

If things continue like this we may have to extend the score system to 15 :p otherwise every second game released will be a 10.



Check out my game about moles ^

I agree.  Did GeoW2 get an 8?



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

that's a great score and the game will be epic(except for the knifing part).


most of 90+ game will have a number of 8s and a few lower than 8 scores.

Well, they had RE4 to follow up to, which is a big task to begin with.

Second of all, they played it safe. Capcom did not want to become a victime of the HD-expenses, where they "pay big money to make a good game but nobody would buy it so they lose big time." So to avoid that situation, they simply copy and paste RE4 with better graphics. Sure, they added a cover system, a co-op system as well...but I guess the reviewers weren't wowed by it as much as they were wowed by RE4.

But, like they said, it still a good game to buy so if you liked the demo you might as well still buy it. Of course, I'm not (don't like horror games with complicated shooting controls...bought RE4 Wii for my bro and he doesn't seem willing to buy an HD RE right now....).

 

 My take is adding something so gameplay-changing as co-op instantly disqualifies Capcom for "playing it safe". There's nothing safe as doing something completely different to the previous 5, 6? games in the series.

too much drama here. 8 is good.... and again, it's just someone else's opinion. Why don't u play the game, and decide for yourself. But 8 it's good. Everything above 7 it's ok, above 7.5 is good.

Yeah, after the demo I've been expecting mostly 8's and a fair amount of 9's and 10's. It'll probably fall short of 90% on Metacritic.

It's just too similar to RE4. That said, it's still my most anticipated game and will most likely be my favorite this year unless GOWIII makes it out :)
