Nicktals said:So, we can't complain about incorrect reviews?
It's not like I'm not going to hold the owner of EDGE hostage over their ridiculous ExciteBots score...I'm going to voice how ridiculous and incorrect it is. Grounding in reality...jesus...you're on a video game forum, and in a thread about review scores on a video forum. What the fuck do you expect to hear?
RandomVince said:Define 'incorrect'.
You sir are a genius.Rez said:in before the "oh no, my favourite exclusive only got a seven" followed by "an EDGE seven is a GOOD SCORE" followed by "EDGE and Eurogamer should just stick to the fucking Metacritic scale, FFS" followed by "EDGE and EG are the only ones doing it right, they're using the full scale" followed by "it's not like EG or EDGE are credible in any way. EDGE are biased toward English games, and Eurogamer don't even play the games before the review" followed by "its hardly fair to judge a publication over the actions of one writer" followed by "they don't use bylines, they are asking for it. they chose to publish it" followed by "b-b-b-but the Sims 3 scored higher and 50 Cent got a 7 too!" followed by "GO SUCK A FUCKING DICK"
Wait, ZENO CLASH got an eight!? I take everything back. Edge is declared credible, no one disagrees, thread prospers, sun shines, virgins are deflowered etc etc
lowrider007 said:Are you serious ?, I think your the one that needs to chill my friend, Edge threads are famously controversial and are practically always full of people debating the reviews scores, funny that really, considering it a review score thread.
vazel said:This thread goes to show why most review sites give the big games nothing but 8s and 9s. You can't make your readers go crying away and thus your ad revenue will shrink.
Gravijah said:You people are crazy! CRAZY I TELL YOU! Debating numbers! Children are dying, women weeping, and you sit here on this internet message board and type up long rants about numbers! We're talking about numbers here! What has our beautiful Earth come to?
I'm still trying to decide wether obese men with cheetos encrusted fingers that are prone to emotional attachments to consumer products should be considered men or a type of creature.lowrider007 said:Men weep too.
Not so much lack of news but they've been leaked out couple days ago with those PSM3 videosHaunted said:lulz at the lack of FIFA 10 news.
EDGE should've made a PES 10 special.
RandomVince said:Fuck it, they should just give out 10s for everything to stop the whining that follows in every single comment thread on website/print reviews ever.
SOMEONE LIKED DRIVER3 I GUESS WE SHOULD GIVE IT A 10/10 LEST THEY TELL US WE ARE INCORRECT

Gravijah said:Numbers man. NUMBERS!!!
Nicktals said:I like how you didn't respond. I don't care what number they give it, if they can adequately defend their position. When they say "highly elastic rubber banding", and there is either none, or very VERY little rubber banding, that's something I'll take issue with. It's incorrect, and it affects sales. Also, if someone from EDGE is here, they might be inclined to find out the truth for themselves, as printing correct information should be highly important to the magazine.
RandomVince said:I respond if a point has merit. So you like the game, good for you. Does the fact that some reviewer rates it at "4/10" really impinge on your enjoyment?
Nicktals said:I wish I could see the whole review.
Dabookerman said:Wait, so is Excitebots a racing game or not?
RandomVince said:So wait until you have seen it, then come back with a response to it.
Nicktals said:But yeah, there's a factual error, just in that tiny snippet we got. There is NOT excessive rubber-banding. Simple as that. That's not an opinion. Hell, I'm not sure there's ANY.
Chumly said:Holy shit at the Excitebots score.....a 4 REALLY? Basically the equivalent to the IGN godhand review....28 points lower than the lowest review out there on metacritic and scores it 40 points lower than the average.
SickBoy said:Really? I don't think there's rubber-banding in the typical sense, but I do think there's sort of one-way rubber banding, I know I've had awful races where I've been surprisingly close to the pack (or able to beat the pack) despite huge, should-have-been catastrophic mistakes.
And indeed, read that passage and it's clearly more about being able to keep up than getting an artificial challenge from behind (the more common form of rubber-banding).
RandomVince said:So now it seems like they havent made an error after all?
pakkit said:I give their review 3 Super Leg Smashes out of 5.
VALIS said:LittleBigPlanet - 10 (one of the only 10's they've ever given)
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty - 8
Siren Blood Curse - 8
MGS4 - 8
Uncharted - 8
Ratchet & Clank Future - 8
Singstar - 8
Warhawk - 8
Super Stardust HD - 8
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - 8
Motorstorm - 8
...and I'm getting bored with this already. I think your paranoia has been thoroughly debunked.
Don't forget: an EDGE 4 would actually be a 6 at IGN and other sites who use the 7-10 scale.Chumly said:Holy shit at the Excitebots score.....a 4 REALLY?

Jonnyram said:Sounds about right. A real aural and visual treat, but insanely repetitive and once you get over the wow factor, there's not a lot left.
Nicktals said:Because one person said that he won a race eventhough he made a mistake?
EDIT: I've played over 100 hours of ExciteBots, and I've 100% completed the game. I'm done with it now, and will probably never play it again much. But if it were "elastic rubber banding", I think I'd have noticed.
RandomVince said:If you've finished it 100% I would assume you were pretty competent at the game and didnt lose many races. It's possible you wouldnt have noticed.
What we have here is just another case of over-reacting in another Edge review thread.
have you had a chance to play it? it's really.. not good. the idea behind it is great, pop style jumping and 3rd person shooting, but the execution.. well, let's just say they missed the goaloctopusman said:A part of me really thought Damnation would be good, really..
Yes Boss! said:Oh noes! Somebody doesn't like InFamous.
Didn't like Killzone 2 either. So ha!
McBradders said:I'm not seeing what all the jizzing about inFAMOUS is about either. Same with Killzone. You're not alone.
