EDGE uses a 2-9 scale
really bad games gets a 1
really brilliant ones gets a 10
Here's how the same scores would look in your pulp game rags and websites.
Heavy Rain - 9
Bioshock 2 - 10 (GOM - Silver)
Mass Effect 2 - 10 (Game of the Forver - Gold)
Dante's inferno - 8
Stalker: Call of Pripyat - 9
Darwinia+ - 10
Death By Cube - 8
Undead Knights - 6
Super Monkey Ball: Step and roll - 7
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - 8

Or, you know, maybe they don't like them as much as you do.Dina said:Indeed. Also proves to me that EDGE does not understand those games. Best four NDS games, right there.
Foxtastical said:Or, you know, maybe they don't like them as much as you do.
Crazy idea.
They say although the mechanics it cribs from are solid, and the levelling metagame engaging, the execution in play feels routine, and platforming throws up too many instant and infuriating deaths. Boss battles are a highlight.Rabbitwork said:i'm REALLY interested as to how dante's managed a 6 in edge.
Wow thats a pretty succinct write-up of the game, however I'd personally give it a 7.5; I really dig the art direction in the game. Interesting.RubberJohnny said:They say although the mechanics it cribs from are solid, and the levelling metagame engaging, the execution in play feels routine, and platforming throws up too many instant and infuriating deaths.

"In the wider context, Dante's Inferno fails to rise above its peers, the punishment for which is not damnation, merely a place in limbo"
BrokenSymmetry said:EDGE hated the character modelling, the dialogue, and the cliche story in Dragon Age, all of which are much better in Mass Effect 2.

I grabbed some 360 exclusives and some PS3 exclusives at random and subtracted Edge's score from the Metacritic score, the larger the positive number, the lower Edge was from the industry average.
360: ~0.3
PS3: ~1.6
I know someone ran a more detailed analysis before, but I wanted to verify this myself. That is a huge difference, that is statisticly significant. You can only explain it away with apologist fanboy logic IMO. I'd like to fill in more games, I just took the ones on the top of my head, listed below.
Jexhius said:Sssh, people don't want to hear that an EDGE seven is a good score.

WrikaWrek said:Maybe there's no bias Guzz, maybe 360 games are better. I'm sure you have thought of the opposite, so you know that it's possible to dream, so others might dream other shit.
DeadGzuz said:Translation from retard "I like their bias, so I defend them in their monthly threads."
DeadGzuz said:Wow, rather than address the content, you guy just attack the posters. It took less than five minutes while doing my other work at the same time.
You can get both numbers at the same time, just google something like "metacritic crackdown" and ctrl-f "edge".
WrikaWrek said:Maybe there's no bias Guzz, maybe 360 games are better.
RedRedSuit said:He's comparing to the average idea (MC) of whether that's the case or not. That should take the "maybe they really are better" thing out of the equation. (I.e., either everyone is overrating PS3 games, or Edge is underrating PS3 games. His claim is that one of those two statistically has to be true.)
Regardless, this discussion has been done and redone like a thousand times. Who gives a shit anymore?
Basch said:I thought everybody knew this already. I couldn't imagine anyone ever considering EDGE a reliable objective source for gaming journalism: makes me laugh, especially having finally gone through this thread and reading some your guys' comments. Seriously, I've been away for the better part of a year from the gaming side, and I'm already regretting my decision to come back.
One doesn't even need to round up statistics on EDGE to know they're biased. In my opinion, they're at the top of the list as to why gaming journalism has gone downhill.

Ganondorfo said:So dante's inferno got a 6, this means that god of war 3 will also get a 6, because they are almost the same game with different storylines and locations.
WrikaWrek said:The idea i'm saying is, majority doesn't always prove fact.
Or we have to start looking at user reviews, it won't look pretty let me tell you.

stupei said:What is there to say? You already told us that only fanboy logic and excuses could possibly refute your totally objective conclusions! All we can do is nod and tell you how clever and not at all paranoid you seem.
I mean if I were tasked with responding rationally to the suggestion that a magazine has involved itself a massive long standing conspiracy against one particular company, I would probably want to read the content of the reviews first.
Stink said:You seem to have left out the PS3's 10, Littlebigplanet. Not sure how that affects your figures, but it sure seems to affect your judgement of Edge.

Basch said:Wow, a conspiracy? Is that all you can come up with? Anything else you want to accuse him of? You do realize you're the one bringing this up? Not him. All he did was dish out some stats. A bit irrational don't you think. Opinions are opinions. Some listen to them. Some don't. Get over it.
Probably worth also pointing out that when comparing logarithmic scores (I.e. Typical of the average output from most other review sources) vs. Edge's linear scale, poor outliers such as Heavenly Sword will contribute disproportionately to the deviation. It's just not scientific to use statistics like this without normalising the individual comparisons.DeadGzuz said:I left out a lot of scores, I just grabbed some off the top of my head. I edited the original numbers to include LBP, the goto game for those who claim there is no bias...
