Forums - Gaming - Prototype gets a 7.25 from Game inFormer...

GI is one of the worst places to go for reviews. i dont even think they play the games. the only reason im subscribed is for the news and previews.

Game Informer is mostly what I use. I agree with the scores cause it seems they like what I like. Different review sites are for different people. I really don't like most the scores IGN gives games but I don't discredit them. Different people have different tastes. A 7.25 from game informer tells me I'd like the game cause it's a genre I like, but a 7.25 in a platformer I would not pick up cause I only like really high scoring platformers from Game Informer.

Do you think Elite Beat Agents deserved a 6.75. Do yourself a favor and cancel your subscription. Honestly, they have a lower quality of reviewer, and are much more subject to group think than most entheusiast press. GI is the NYT of the gaming industry. Biased, outdated, and going out of business.

Okay, why are we getting so many damn review threads for this game?

And on Steam it has the IGN quote, "...perhaps just a tad too much fun" - 7.5? Should probably be higher.

Because SOME PS3 fans want their exclusive sandbox game to be better than this one. They see it as a threat, and thus relish in any negative press this game gets, while ignoring all positive press.

Whats wrong with people? Why do you trust any reviews? Look at the footage, rent if unsure...but why do you care what other people that play this game have to say.

Like id be cautious if the game was getting 4/10 accross the board...but its still over 80 on metacritic and it should easily stay there.

The Xplay review convinced me to rent. The game looks incredible.

Heh... It convinced you to rent.... So you don't even own the game. You haven't even played it. Yet you vehemenently defend it against my "biased" observation that it's gotten a few bad reviews. I suggest you not engage in any sort of debate with me. It's better to admire from afar. 

 

BTW, Elite Beat Agents is one of the worst games I have ever played.

I don't like demos. They more often than not, misrepresent the game they are meant to promote, OR give away too much of the in game abilities. It's like seeing a movie trailer that spoils the plot, or that makes a shitty movie look great, or a great movie look terrible. It just pisses me off.

@Steroid
oh dude give it a rest. There are plenty of people here calling your BS about this game yet you are cherry picking in your replies to pretend you still have any credibility here... sad.



In reviews I always like to go for the words, rather than the scores.

Can you explain to me why I would have any bias against this game Alucard? Choose your words wisely.

Well, everything I've said is absolutely true. You're a troll. It's obvious to everyone. Denying it does not piss me off, or make me angry. I knew it would happen. You are nothing if not predictable. A few other things about yourself, you only own a PS3, absolute despise every exclusive franchise on the Xbox 360, and have never in your life even played EBA. It's getting to the point where you can't even stand multiplats, because they are also on the Xbox 360. Sad, I admit, and unbelievable, but true.

But let's get real here.

I'm gonna just ask you one question, and I think you should answer.

You said EBA is one of the worst games you've ever played. What, exactly, are its worst features. Why did you dislike it?
