now, with all the talk about bias reviews, i need proof. I can post as many bad ps3 reviews as wii. I think. As a PS3 fan, i got used to certain bad reviews, espacially early on. I remember that 67 Uncharted got, man was that funny.

| ZenfoldorVGI said: Truth, you don't flame PSP games for not looking as good as a PS3, and you don't flame Wii games for not looking as good as the PS3. Technical graphics aren't nearly as important as artstyle and functionality, and technical graphic ratings are relative. The idiotic Gamepro review wasn't purposefully biased, Gamepro just always sucks, and has become completely irrelevant. Get your reviews from a notable source, not Gamepro. They have 30 year old women reviewing jrpgs over there. That is NOT representative of me, and their reviews are always horrendously and atrociously wrong on game that they don't take their lead from IGN on. Gamepro is the worst review source metacritic cites. |
While I think you're right, it doesn't make much sense to me when you compare a handheld to a console.
You know guys, once there was a time, where games' graphics were compared to the console they were on. Happened to NES and Master System, happened to SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis. The MD/Genesis had better graphics to offer then the SNES, but this wouldn't cost the SNES-game score points in the graphics section). Happened as well to Game Boy and Game Gear. Maybe I was pretty young back then, but I still remember this.
It slowly changed during the N64-PS-area, because the storage problem and therefore the N64 wasn't capable of showing as great video sequences as the PS.
This gen, the problem is that the gen before there where 3 consoles (if you don't count the Dreamcast in) all competing for the best graphics. So then a graphics comparision made sense.
What the reviewers don't seem to get is, that this gen there are 2 consoles fighting over graphics and one fights with a totally different control scheme. So it makes no sense like last gen to compare graphics, because the Wii will always loose. But that's what everybody knows, and the readers want to know, how the game's graphics are compared to what's possible on the console it's on.
As it makes no sense to say that Tiger Woods for PS3/X360 is bad due to the lack of motion controls, it simply makes no sense to judge wii games for graphics the wii are not capable of.
It even becomes more ridiculous if you would include all the handhelds in this standard.

and somebody with the basic ability to press a button can beat some PS3/360 games.
are you also trying to say there are no "deep and immersive" games on the wii? that has to be a joke.
This thread is some funny shit =D and I have to speak for Daemon for a sec here, there are people who don't like the Wii, and I can fully understand it, Daemon Hatfield is one of them, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like the good games on that system, good games will be good games. I don't always like what I see on the Wii myself, but that doesn't take my enjoyment away from good games on the system. it is only a problem when people think all Wii games are garbage simply because they don't like the system and ignore the good games on that particular console altogether. Haters are worse than Fanboys and are even lesser a real gamer, keep that in mind =P.

You are very probably right, but it's hard to qualify because different people will have different ideas about what constitutes a bad review. I'm sure some folks are of the opinion that Too Human and Haze are much, much better than the scores they got.
Ok i have a project for people here. Find me a review of a multi console release that scores LESS on PS360 because of controls.
We'll see if this is even possible and then we'll talk.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I'm gonna have to disagree. I think most of the games that get low reviews deserve them. But look at Super Mario Galaxy - Its a great game and it got a 97 metascore. Is that biased? No, it's a great game and it got a great score.
But no matter what score the game gets, if you like it then play it!
