Good score for Just Cause 2, I guess.
And once again, regarding NMH, Edge gets it: good game, but way worse than the first one, unfortunately.

Misinterpretation of the comment.
I like the Heavy Rain threads and discussion. I dislike the game itself. This guy asked "why are we having a thread" about this magazine, directly questioning the reason for this threads existence.
If you don't like the thread, don't participate.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Yeah but now we also know they gave GOW3 an 8. Edge am biased total.

Wonder if this will end up being seen as the worst #'d Final Fantasy in the series? Doesn't seem to have effected sales very much, selling right around 2M in Japan, and with the 360 release, it probably will outsell many other FFs outside Japan.
I don't even have much interest in a PC port any more, with a review like this, I'd like my nostalgia of FF to be mainly the II and III US releases, with a dash of VII and X/XII. The only FFs I've played and beaten are the NES ones, IV, VI, VIII, and X. I couldn't stay interested with XII for long, and never gave IX a fair chance.

I don't mind the thread, I'm just surprised people feel the mag deserves it's own one. But then again we don't really have a "March 2010 Magazine round up" thread. So I suppose it makes sense.
But I do mildly enjoy the Edge discussions that come up. They are, like the mags opinions themselves, completely polarizing.

True true, they are not as consistent as fanboys and sellouts, they are lacklustre in providing fanboys the scores they demand by right, they are better than the rest and so they may seem pretentious.
And they absolutely deliver the lulz when people like you come in bitching.

So FFXIII = Dragon Age. I'll accept that.

Games journalism is a sad, sorry place. In this sad, sorry place, EDGE stands among the best. That says something about games journalism, true, but since we also have threads for Game Informer and fucking Nintendo Power, EDGE definitely should get its own.
EDGE uses a full scale, and attempts to justify their scores in detail. They often fail in the details, but they attempt at it. It's what it is.
But complaining about the thread is what won't be allowed.

You know what, I will actually truthfully agree with this.
FF13 has a bad-ass battle-system as its redeeming feature.
DA:O has the companion writing as its redeeming feature.
Pretty fair (though I have only played a little bit of 13 thus far).

I've seen many games that score a 3 or a 4 on their scale.
But, think of it this way. Just like it's semi-rare for a game to be as good as a 9 or 10 on EDGE's scale, it's also semi-rare for a game to be as bad as a 1 or 2 on the scale. There simply aren't that many games that are so fucking broken that they deserve a 1 or a 2, much like there simply aren't that many games that are so awesome in their high quality that they should receive a 9 or a 10.

So true. So very true.
I think the only time they featured a game that I cared about was Witcher, and I raged at that score.

7/10 for NMH2 sounds about right, it is a great game but lacks the classiness/style of the original.
for reference, NMH1 got 9/10, deserved score

Huh? The first 20somewhat minutes in God of War 3 are breathtaking - never really experienced anything similar to that. Just EPIC.rezuth said:
I experienced Bayonetta fighting mechanics rather chaotic compared to God of War 3. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely playable, no question, but at times I just lost the overview which is not happening for me in GoW3. And maybe that's just me, but the fighting mechanics in GoW3 feel so much better now since GoW2 - they just brought it to perfection.

A 5 for AVP?!?
I know it may not have all the fancy bells and whistles that modern games have but its still a damn fun game and definitly deserves more than that.
