Uh this kind of review is so worthless.
I know what you mean. I can't believe some reviews make me *read* instead of distilling an entire game's quality into an arbitrary number. Insanity!

I would understand if you where talking about Heavy Rain, I think we will have to wait and see but so far ND has shown they are more focused in gameplay.
that IGN power!

Trust you?
So what do you want to see succeed in their place? I certainly still enjoy them.
I rarely read reviews these days, but I have stuck with the IGN reviews since the 90s. Not that I always agree with them.
ah ok, pass for me then.
And for this sir, I applaud you. *gentlemen's bow*I know what you mean. I can't believe some reviews make me *read* instead of distilling an entire game's quality into an arbitrary number. Insanity!
LOL what ND games you've played this gen?
Dead Space 3 consequently becomes caught in the dissonance of the extreme glory of its combat and presentation, and the pervasive tedium of almost everything else it does.
Based on Twitter conversations between Giant Bomb staff, I'm going to guess they won't be giving it a great score.
Cinamatic games are dying trust me. when this and TR receive terrible reception and bomb then publishers will have to question why.
Even The Last Of Us is a game that I see Underperforming at retail.
Unskippable cutscenes? Please tell me you can skip them on replays. Please!

The problem is with them using the simplistic 5 score it will either equate to 8/10 or 6/10.
I really which the guys would change their review system to the more sensible 10 scale.
Makes a return?Games where the gameplay is the centre of a devs attention. No more scripted events which you know are going to happen because they're that predictable. Hopefully incredibly deep, engrossing gameplay makes a return.
They've just turned this into yet another cover shooter with co op lol.
I haven't seen anything change in game design to suggest this. The only alternative we usually get are open world games that are treated like linear setpiece games (like far cry 3) where the only advantage the open world has is it gives the devs the ability to litter the map with useless chore activities.
Kotaku ripped this game up this morning. Gave it just a terrible review. Ouch. If I were EA management and the game's dev studio I would not be having a good morning.
Publishers really shouldn't set embargoes for their games, literally every game that had one underperformed in some way.
http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/dead_space_3_review.htmlWhen EA showcased Dead Space 3s action-focused new direction at last years E3, I steered clear of the dissenting voices and naysayers. Visceral knows what its doing, I thought. When coop was revealed, I chose to think about the ways in which another player could add to the horror rather than detract from it. I didnt even get angry about microtransactions and 11 pieces of launch DLC. The proof would be in the pudding - the gristly, deformed, pus-spewing pudding.
5/10

You know Kotaku, I think sometime you just review games by your point of view only. At least 2 games that I remember playing it myself and I find your review is bullshit.

You kidding?! If anything they are on the rise and will be more common next gen. Better get used to them buddy, they arent going anywhere.
Saying cinematic games are dying is like saying blockbuster movies are dying. No they aren't going anywhere, mass public like their cinematic games and blockbuster movies, the good news is that there's room for other things as well.
God damn it they've fucked it up haven't they?
Why shift the scale? If it's a 4 out of 5, it's good but not great, if it's a 3 out of 5, it's merely ok.
The 5-point scale makes a LOT more sense to me than the 10-point scale. I'd rather everyone shift to that.
I just hope for the next game they get rid of co-op and go back to a single player only experience, no multiplayer, no co-op, put all their resources into the main game.
I'm playing the game now and let me say clearly,
the love triangle is fucking awful and should never have been in this game
I cannot emphasize that enough.
This sounds so terrible...I'm playing the game now and let me say clearly,

Ugh. Max Payne 3 all over again.
Since it's a Dead Space game you kind of know what you're getting yourself into anyway, yeah?
Every combat encounter - and there are many - is almost always twice as long as it should be. Any time Isaac accomplishes anything, whether its solving a puzzle or just finding a new area, hes assaulted by a small army of waggly-armed idiots that need to be sliced up in classic Dead Space style. Being overrun by Necros has always been the least appealing part of the series, but now its a fundamental part of the game - by the end of the campaign I must have slaughtered over 1000 of them, and did so with no real skill or tactical consideration, just aggression, hope and just enough Stasis to slow a few of them down. Its a slog.
They regularly add half points, turning it into a 10 point scale again. Otherwise it's just multiply by 2. I prefer the 4-star scale some movie outlets use because it doesn't really translate well to anything, and there's no middle ground either.
