I'm not a MM10 fan, let alone apologist, so I wasn't trying to argue what the game is or isn't. I was just trying to point out that the review seems to say what you have have reiterated here and that as a statement it can be read both ways. It can be fun as a difficult game but completely forgettable as an easy one. So it's a forgettable game that's only fun when it's hard, or a fun game that's only forgettable when it's easy. Not my opinion, just trying to clarify how I thought the review quote read.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the relatively good score for Dead to Rights because I'm a big fan of the first game (not so much of those that came after) and plan to get this if it isn't a total failure.
Can't wait to read the Dead or Alive review and find out how they arrived at that score.

Mega Man 10 - 6/10;
I really hope they didn't dock points from the game because Capcom gave players an option for easy mode, since that would be really stupid on their part. It's their own bloody fault if they play on easy and complain the game becomes too short because it's easy. Maybe they would have preferred it if Capcom didn't include the option at all.
Does anyone know what MM9 got?

Fair enough, it just seemed like you and the person you were responding to were concentrating on the difficulty in the review when at least to what I read into that paragraph, the review seemed to take a step back from the difficulty and look at the big picture. I didn't mean to try to spin anyone.
On a different note, i typically respect and enjoy Edge reviews, but the DOA score is baffling. I'd like to read a summary on that, but...yeah, that's a bad apple most likely.
^ Thanks bookerman
I think that the RoF review is unfair. The criticism isn't really true--the review is implying that the only real course of action in battles is to spam hero actions and scratch damage. I disagree. Not a huge deal. RoF got a really rough shake in the Western press, and I don't even like it as much as the big fans do.

Well, in this generation, it can be clearly seen that the most rabid fanboys are the Sony fanboys, this is especially the case if a "omg it looks better than reality itself" game gets "downgraded", or simply rated slightly below 9 or the obvious 10.
You should check out fanboy ravage on KZ2's 7/10, EG's MGS4 review, EDGE MGS, some backlash of someone giving a 4/5 (8/10 was it?) to Uncharted 2 and recieving huge amounts of hate - when your favored system is the third, suddenly every exclusive starts to matter SO MUCH - therefore the cited reactions .
no. my point still stands. you misunderstood ME. the reviewer says that on easy the game "will take mere hours to finish" and that this results in a forgettable experience. and i'm saying: the game takes "mere hours" or usually even less than that ANYWAY (on the regular difficulty level) for experienced mega man players. and that has been the case for any mega man. and it has never resulted in a forgettable experience, at least not more or less so than it does now. and since this applies to all mega man games i can only conclude one of two things: a) the reviewer realizes this and thinks all mega man games are forgettable or b) the reviewer doesn't realize this, hasn't played any other mega man games or somehow remembers them wrong. i'm inclined to say it's probably b) though, as it apparently takes the reviewer several hours to finish the game even on easy, which is a clear indicator that he is not used to playing mega man games. either way it's clear to me that this isn't the person i PERSONALLY would trust with reviewing a mega man game, since he either doesn't like mega man in the first place or singles out mm10 for something mega man games have always been "guilty" of and that is not what i would call valid criticism. i agree with the score though (even though i generally dislike scores) or at least i agree that this is definitely not mega man at its best, if for entirely different reasons.chicken_ramen said:
Although after 18 hours playing Resonance of Fate and liking it quite a bit, I understand and agree with their comments. The fighting system is unique and fairly fun but it seems like every fight is the same strategy and I don't even see how else one would play the game. It is fun but very limiting.

Do you think you could enjoy SSF4 if you don't have any friends who are into fighting games? If I am basically, just buying it to play single player and online?
I haven't played a fighter for a very, very long time, btw.

OUCH! A tough month for most games. Only Street Fighter got a 9 but I don't like the fighter genre.

Hell yes. I only play it online cause my friends are not into fighting games as well. This time, there is a lobby system (about time). Buy it and we'll have our own GAF lobbies and shit. You can play with us.Vigilant Walrus said:
Also, you don't have to be great/godlike to enjoy Street Fighter. I'm semi-decent and I still have a blast every time I boot it up.

I bought SF4 for the single player only, even though I have friends who play it online and one who participates in national tournaments. The game is great playing solo. Lots of characters to play, lots of challenges. It's worth the money even if you never play against another human being.

They were the first magazine to get a huge story on the original LBP. Still, it'd be strange for Sony to unveil it this close to E3.

Are people still pretending that Edge uses the whole scale? They used to, but they haven't for quite a while now. They also give out 9's and 10's all the time theses days. Edge isn't any better than any other videogame magazine or website out there.

Next month pages aren't always reveals. It could just be a feature on how user generated content in games has evolved since it started. Plus the art isn't terribly distinctive, lots of other designy-make shift things used it before LBP.SolidSnakex said:

By that I mean like this:
Or I would if I knew what they're trying to say. . what are the reviewers negative issues?
