Forums - Sony Discussion - Ratchet and Clank ToD review thread.

I don't know. I honestly think that Gamespot is the only review site to really "get it" concerning R&C:ToD.

All the other reviews go on about "zomg grafix! and oh by the way it's basically the same as the other games, except with some bad Sixaxis controls and not much of a story. 9.5/10!!" The Gamespot reviewer seems like the only one who actually played the game all the way through.

 So... you didn't actually read any of the reviews besides the Gamespot one?

Realistically speaking, Ratchet and Clank will probably end up with a agregate review score of 85% to 90% at its current rate. There are a lot of sites which are probably going to give it 75% to 85% which will drag the score below 90%; from what I have seen, few games stay in the 90%+ range withouth 1/4 to 1/2 of their review scores being 10/10.

Obviously you didn't read any of the reviews and obviously you don't have a PS3 to play Ratchet, so why do you even bother?

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

 

Wow ,Gamespot forums must be right now burning with rage from the PS3 owners ...its not the first time they give a great PS3 game a so-so review .

THe problem with this is about credibility ....so after Gamespot scores The Darkness in PS3 is a way better game that Ratchet and Heavenly Sword ....suuure .



Does anyone know when ign are publishing their review? they have traditionally given ratchet high reviews ( up your arsenal recieved a 9.6)



How can you think if you don't know enough words?

 

How do you know what I think until you hear what I say.

Does everyone have to agree with you on what a "Great" game is?
What if someone thought that a game like The Darkness was more original, or distinctive, in its genre?

There are times when I agree with people's complaints (when you see Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3 get very similar comments in the review and the games end up with dramatically different scores) but typically it is just someone who is angry that the game they hyped for so long is not going to live up to their expectations.

It's living on the edge right now. 1 more 8.5 or lower will knock it below a 9.

Also, Diomedes, The Darkness sure as hell was better than Heavenly Sword. Still, I disagree with their opinion about Ratchet.

Edit: NM, the Edge review hasn't been applied yet.  It's already going to fall below a 9.
