See, now no one cares about the 1up review at all.

So all of these people who haven't played the game yet are giving someone who has played it a hard time about his review? At least wait until you own the game, fer crysakes!
Gamespot does like to be different though.

Anyone who prefers HS to any Ratchet has horrible taste in games.

It was never about the score though. Every drop of venom was well declared and well deserved.
Why not rent the game yourself and form your own damn opinions? If you need someone else to vaildate how you feel about a game, go right ahead. I'll sit down and actually play the thing myself and grade it on my personal scoring system, "Wow, I'll buy it" or "Nope, it's going back early."

His heavenly sword score isn't bad.
His score of Ratchet and Clank RELATIVE to heavenly sword is what makes it so idiotic.
His positive comments seem to FAR outweigh the marginal negative ones, so why the 7.5? Just to try and be 'different' and hope it garners attention?
The journalistic integrity of some of these websites is appalling.

You guys are making something out of nothing, especially when this game is already getting great reviews across the board so far.

On GAF, reviews are about anything but deciding purchases.
To me, the thing that sucks the worst about R & C is having to wait until I move to pick it up. I've never missed an R & C release date before. :/

His problems with it are largely that he didn't like the story, there are too many different game mechanics(according to him) and he thought it was too easy. I don't remember the other Ratchet games being that difficult but I guess he did. All of these complaints sound like nitpicks to me so different strokes for different folks, I guess.

The 7.5 is funny, but of no consequence. This is a 9+ game.

The real trial of fire will be Eurogamer's review. After that unfortunate Resistance clown-up, I mean.
I wager that it will get a 4/10 from Eurogamer, and the reviewer will complain about lag in MP. If you get that reference, then you're on my team.

the last time i checked reviewers are supposed to do a service to the general gaming public. Not use it as a public forum for thier bullshit and ideas. If 90% of the people who play and review the game give it over an 8.5+ then exactly what is this reviewer doing? Not a service to general gamers

Damn, that GS review dragged me back in. I read it and honestly it made me want the game more. His biggest problem seemed to be the huge variety of gameplay which I think sounds awesome.
One thing struck me as odd though; the 1up review was, shall we say less than enthusiastic about the graphics, a facet of the game that has been universally praised and held up as an example of what PS3 is capable of. Meanwhile thd GS review accuses the game for trying too much and straying too far from the series' tried and tested formula, pretty much the exact opposite opinion of virtually every single other reviewer.
It's all pretty irrelevant I suppose, but some interesting points of divergence (the GS one more so than 1up since at least Joe said the game looked beautiful).
Anyway, I'm going to leave this thread alone now and this time I mean it! I'm out.

To insure I get it from Gamefly, I removed every game from my Queue except Ratchet.

I'm going to go out tommorrow and buy R&CF just to spite this Aaron guy.
Ok I was buying it anyway but he still deserves my spite.

Why don't the scores these guys give the game actually match the written review?
If you read the two reviews (1UP and GS) and saw the two scores, you'd think that the 1UP guys gave it a 7.5 and GS gave the 8.5...
I enjoyed the demo and the previous games enough to pick this one up. The demo was good enough for me...
I just hope Aaron Thomas didn't give the game a low score just to "stand out" or be "different" and show everyone he can think on his own. Imagine if this was a game like Bioshock getting a score like a 7.5, this poor guy would have lost his job!

Oh and P.S., the new Gamspot rating system is HORRIBLE!! What the hell is up with these random icons that look like Achievement Icons and no individual ratings for the different facets of game design??
I think I'll stick with the general consensus of GAF when it comes to the review of a game I'm not too familiar with. All these damn site's reviews are either moneyhats or asinine.

How do you figure? Pointless gameplay mechanics that don't really add anything to the over platforming/shooting. A story that is lacking, and poor difficulty balancing.
If it got a 9.4 you'd be singing a different tune.
Lest we forget Gamespot gave Kameo an 8.7, and all the other R&C's 9's or near about. What's with the PS3 once again getting shat on?
Also I'll quote this post from IGN.
"AnubisZOE posted: well, if you read the reviews, most of his negatives can easily become positives in other reviews,
story not interesting? gametrailers and ign disagree with gamespot there saying this time the story take itself more seriously, and the best story in the series
so many different and unnecessary gameplay mechanic can always be viewed as having diverse gameplay to break from the repetition,
and about the difficulty, this is a family friendly games, at least the later part of the game is challenging enough, besides, what does he mean by 'it's having identity crisis because the story is epic geared towards mature audience, but the gameplay is on the easy side for kids', does that mean kids don't like epic story or something?
really the way I see the reviews is as if he don't like the cliffhanger ending and it spoil the rest of the game or something"
Seriously I can't believe Gamespot gave one of the biggest games of the season to this guy to review. The guy who mainly does sports games and is obviously not too clued up on things. R&C obviously isn't a 7.5 game. Even if it isn't your cup of tea you can appreciate it's a quality title. The PS3 never getting a break is just getting silly now...
