I also thought the demo for Wolverine was really good, certainly the full game must be extremely good as well. Oh, wait...

Wolverine is a movie liscensed game, that was your first mistake.....

You cannot compare the predestined failure of a liscensenced franchise to a game that has peaked the interest in favor of it in many, given excedingly high marks from other reviewers, praised by early players(who got it weeks before release) and those who also liked the demo(me).

And how about reading the different reviews. You will see Eurogamer took everything that every other reviewer(the IGNs, Joystick, etc) loved about the game and turned it into a negative. Right off the bat they relate Infamous to a shooter...which it is not. They complain about some missions repeating......which is funny, I thought all sanbox games did that.Yet other BETTER reviewers have stated there is much variety. To have these views completely contradict what I have seen and heard from other reviewers makes me question how the hell they could feel that way without being blatently biased. At least in the 8.5 reviews they didn't try to morph every positive into a negative.

I trully think they do this to PS3 games to get hits from a lot of angry fans on their site. Some attention is better then no attention.

Lol. Simply lol at the "licensed" argument. What about Valkyria Chronicles? If you judge that game by the demo, I assure you the score will be lower than it is now, it goes both ways. And why in the world would a movie licensed game, having a good demo, mean that the game is bad?

It's all opinion, and if this guy doesn't like it, while someone else does, then that what it is. That's the reality of things. Why should every living being think that MGS4 is a masterpiece? Not everyone will like it, and the same goes for inFamous.

What I meant by that was that licensed games should make all gamers weary of it's quality, regardless of how good the demo might be.These types of games are always made to look pretty. I don't think the Wolverine game is THAT bad though. It has gotten much more praise then prior liscense games as well as those who played it.

And I personally found VC's Demo to be great. It IS what made me buy the game. I have heard quite a few people complain about it but I never understood it. The Demo give a fairly good depiction of what the whole game will be like upon purchase.

I have yet to see a demo, where the REAL game didn't get BETTER then it.

Infamous's demo will do the same, and from what I have played it is great in almost every way.

wasnt expecting much from eurogamer, its simply on the wrong system

I see you forgot that:

Eurogamer review for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is 9.0, when other sites like GameSpot and Playstation: The Official Magazine gave it 8.0. May be Uncharted is on the wrong system too?

Also LittleBigPlanet - 95, Resistance 2 - 90.

Stop this BS pls, Eurogamer is harsh to games. We all know that, but they are harsh to games on all platforms.

 

 

 

no, Eurogamer is not "Harsh". They simply give games the score that will net them the most attention. They seem to ALWAYS be in the minority of what a game's score is(frequently when it comes to PS3 games) to most reviewers. Only thing is, Every once in a while they like to give an appropriate score, ya know why? Because viewers are just as astonished to see them give a positive score(or at least one that makes sense) to a game, for so often it is not the case!

Can you pls. give me more examples of this "They seem to ALWAYS be in the minority of what a game's score is(frequently when it comes to PS3 games) to most reviewers" from the last PS3 exclusive games.

Here are some form last 2 years.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - 9.0 (metacritic 88, pretty close) - better then average

MGS4 - 80 (metacritic 94, far away) - lower then average

Resistance 2 - 90 (metacritic 87, pretty close) - better then average

LittleBigPlanet - 95 (metacritic 95, on the spot) - same as average

Killzone - 90 (metacritic 91, pretty close) - 1 point less then average

@Brayan

Eurogamer gave LBP a 90, I don't believe they can give 95 with their system.

I don't have a ps3, but this is not a bad score.



forevercloud3000 on 20 May 2009

@Bryan

Resistance FOM:6/10(COMPLETELY off)
Uncharted: a 9.0 (Close, but still off, it was getting some pretty low ones so they thought to spice it up with a high note)
MGS4:80(a game that should have been closer to 10)
Killzone:9(a game that should have been closer to 10)
Heavenly Sword: a 7/10(A game that was close to 8-8.5)
LBP:9.5(Wierd ones like I stated where they give the most appropriate score)

And I am talking of Reviewers and from what I've seen from player consensus. And Eurogamer is not the ONLY reviewing site guilty of this.
