Joystiq and Polygon .. working together to poo-poo the PS4 launch ..
It's interesting that both of these sites are the one's that also proposed that there is little difference between 1080p and 720p and that resolutiongate is a pointless affair.

anyone who lets anyone's review influence them is just silly.
Hearing that the more open level design quickly regresses is probably the biggest disappointment for me. I've always felt Killzone, as a series, really isn't all that great (I don't think Killzone 2 is a good shooter at all, but Mercenaries does some great stuff), but the wider play space and open level structure had me more excited than I would be for a Killzone game.
Can we just ban polygon on GAF now?
I genuinely feel sorry for people who make purchasing decisions based on what Arthur Gies says about it.
I thought you were probably overreacting, then I read his review, what a joke.
To sum it up:
Hey guys, remember how Killzone sucks?
The story is good, but I couldn't get into it.
I'm not very good at the game.
I'm an MS fanboy
5/10.
That absence of meaningful evolution might be Killzone: Shadow Falls biggest sin. For all the next-gen bluster of its visuals and the repeated blunt-force attempts to ram a message home, Guerillas first shot on the PS4 retreads shooter cliches, and poorly. In a launch lineup crowded with shooters, Killzone: Shadow Fall sits at the bottom.
Polygon conspiracies?
Shit I have the game and im not going there. Most outlets gave it a 7, polygon justnusesmthe whole scale 1-10. Looks like its just mediocre.
Holy shit. Has Polygon gone insane?

What? they couldn't even review KZ SF mp properlyBecause perhaps Ghosts is a more fun MP?
I don't get why it possibly cannot be lower then Ghosts lol.
Perhaps the game is just not that great. Graphically it looks pretty, but graphics aren't everything.
Yep, Sony should have dropped Killzone and kept Resistance going. Even if it meant giving it to another developer (who can actually make a game unlike nihilistic).This was to be expected, Killzone games are average shooters wrapped in great visuals. I'm people that enjoy this franchise will still like it. I bought simply as a showcase game and I think that's fine.
So you are ignoring all the other reviews?
So mostly 7 to 9 reviews is bad now?
Well, Polygon is doing something right, as far as promoting their own site is concerned.
They've managed to be the most talked about site in the past couple of days, probably gained a massive amount of clicks, and even in this thread, while the game scores an average of 7-8 by looking at the merged OPs, many comments focus on the polygon 5/10 one as if that's the average the game is scoring.
They are proving that there's no bad publicity I guess?
No fucking way! Is that true?
Please don't include Halo on that list. Thanks.
The Polygon and Eurogamer scores are about what I expected. An Edge 6 is right around the corner, surely. Sony needs to stop funding Guerilla's tripe.
Mercenary was pretty freaking awesome.The Polygon and Eurogamer scores are about what I expected. An Edge 6 is right around the corner, surely. Sony needs to stop funding Guerilla's tripe.
I guess average reviews should be expected for launch titles the majority of the time, but I am still very excited to get this.
i know this isnt the right thread, but is madden ps4 still under embargo or something? i really need to see some reviews on that game.
Judging by all these reactions I'd say polygon is using gaf perfectly.
Decent scores I expected 8/10s can't wait to get my copy.
Does COD innovate in any area? Polygon is a joke.
GT gave the game an 8.8.
Now THAT sounds like a more realistic score.
