Conan's "review"
Edit: Yeah, may be some mild spoilers for the first part of the game. Mostly stuff we've seen in promotional videos though.
I don't think they reviewed like Tomb Raider is reviewing.
And for what it's worth (I.e. what I've played) both DS3 and Crysis 3 are FAR from clunkers. Geez you guys are a tough crowd.
A 79 Metacritic isn't amazing in video games though.
Ravensmash said:I can imagine that Derrick views Crysis 3 as a clunker because it's not like Crysis 1, and Dead Space 3 is awful because it's not like it's predecessor either.
A 7.5 from X360A.
It's not that far from a 86. "Amazing" is 90+ to me, going by current game reviewing standards.
You're right to a degree. Both franchises were also twisted into modern dudebro garbage, dead space slightly less so.
If those tastes aren't shared by you, then it's a fairly simple decision to say "Nope, this isn't for me", it does seem odd to constantly bash it for little reason other than a change across decades.
You're assuming that all subjective experiences have some sort of objective analysis that everyone must kowtow to. "Ludonarrative dissonance? Minus 2 points. Not enough emphasis on raiding tombs? Minus 1.5 points." People complain about boxes being checked off a list for a game's elements, and then condemn reviews that refuse to demerit a game by a certain amount for every flaw they find, no matter how slight.
It's perfectly normal for people to recognize flaws, and still award something with a high score. (aka the fun parts outweighed the bad parts for them; the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts)
It's also perfectly normal for people's opinions to vary on subjective experiences. So one person's 10 will be another person's 3.
I've been reading several of the reviews and while almost all of them mention the weird narrative disconnect at the beginning of the game, almost all of them also say they quickly forgot about it and went on with enjoying a well crafted experience. Of course, YMMV, so what one person can overlook or forgive another will find intolerable.
Reviews are opinions, nothing more, nothing less. The best we can do as readers/buyers, is to find reviewers who's tastes line up the closest to our own so we can have some sort of guidepost as to whether or not we'll enjoy a particular release.
This has probably been talked about but I couldn't find anything on it. Any differences in the PS3 and 360 versions? Trying to decide which to pre order.
I feel sorry for you if you buy all your games based on review scores.
Why? Especially today. What was the last clunker with amazing reviews?
LOL, this is great.
A large sect of GAF shits on the game for months. Game gets great reviews anyways. Day one.

The first 15 minutes of Crysis 1 are some of the most dudebro in all of video games.You're right to a degree. Both franchises were also twisted into modern dudebro garbage, dead space slightly less so.
New Hitman game was criticized by GAF for its design decisions. Gets high review scores. It sold poorly.
New Devil May Cry game was criticized by GAF for its design decisions. Gets high review scores. It sold poorly.
I am now confused as to why you are championing this pattern and feeling somehow you are proving people wrong when the game is pointing towards poor sales.

I haven't played Crysis 3, but I doubt the series has strayed far from its roots in regards to that.
Well, certainly can't argue with that.15 minutes of a 15 hour game. Crysis 3 stays like that for all 5 hours, and it's a lot more linear and in general made for the console audience.
Wheres the cheapest to get this game from? GMG?

Dead Space 3. Crysis 3.
Clunker according to who? Most people have thoroughly enjoyed those games and see them as great bits of fun.
A 79 Metacritic isn't amazing in video games though.
They didn't get amazing reviews. Good reviews, but nowhere near amazing.
Most people that buy these games seem to be having a great time with them...( Can't speak from personal experience as I haven't bought either of them yet)

And for what it's worth (I.e. what I've played) both DS3 and Crysis 3 are FAR from clunkers. Geez you guys are a tough crowd.
What? Neither got amazing reviews. And, in my experience, Crysis 3 is actually pretty good.
Ya, but he was serious, that's the problem.Wow. 6 people were lured by such an obvious bait.
amazon it is! thanks.Amazon.com has it for 33 bucks with CAGROCKS voucher, GMG has it for 30% off.

Dead fucking serious.
What? What is it? Does Laura's hair dynamically swoosh in the breeze?
Mmmm..dynamic swoosh
Still a better option than trusting GAF for that.

I only brought up console because doesn't the 360 version have exclusive dlc? But a poorer running version outweights DLC.
