They don't even make their dislike for RPGs subtle anymore.

 

[lsslave]

People weren't kidding when they said it wouldn't be nice to Amalur for being a WRPG were they?

 

[Dennis]

Ouch, FFXIII-2 is brutal.....

 

[LiK]

nothing over 8. all crap!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D – 8

Guh.

 

[Moofers]

Ha ha Those guys are always good for controversy. I don't weigh my purchases on their scores at all, but I enjoy seeing them throw everybody for a loop from time to time.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Wow, I'm surprised MGS 3D got an 8. I'm glad to see they liked WipEout also since that's the only game I'm picking up with my Vita.

The Kingdoms of Amalur score is completely off based on my impressions with the game. Not surprising, though.

 

[revolverjgw]

Whoa, Neverdead!

Whoa

Still waiting for it to drop in price though

 

[dark10x]

Snaker Eater 3DS received an 8?! I'd assume that's simply because MGS3 is an amazing game 'cuz everything we've seen on the game (including recent footage) has looked absolutely dreadful.

 

[Übermatik]

I'm surprised Snake Eater 3d even got an 8...

 

[Kyoufu]

Ouch, FFXIII-2 is brutal.....

Same score as the original.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Didn't MGS 3D look terrible in previews? Well I'm glad they (hopefully) turned it around.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Everybody’s Golf – 7

I'm ok with that. I want a Vita so bad...

 

[jmdajr]

what a thrill

[- J - D -]

FF XIII-2 a 5/10

Wow harsshhh. But I would've given FFXIII a 3/10, so I guess this is an improvement.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Now I wanna really know how the final MGS3D looks :/

 

[Gospel]

Yea, these numbers need letters. Especially so, seeing Snake eater 3D with an 8.

That's some illuminati type shit right there.

 

[also]

MGS 3DS scored surprisingly well for what looks like a lazy port. WipEout 2048 is another surprise. Isn't the game supposed to have horrendous load times, like ~45s for a race?

 

[Mooreberg]

Other than NeverDead being higher than the norm, there isn't much of a surprise in there.

What exactly is the cross platform play between 2048 and Wipeout HD? Just shared older tracks, or are some of the new tracks coming out for HD?

 

[TheNatural]

So, Metal Gear Solid 3DS >> all Vita launch titles.

PS - In review scores, in this thread, is what I'm referring to.

 

[[Clark Gable]]

That Final Fantasy score is mighty generous.

 

[Übermatik]

So, Metal Gear Solid 3DS >> all Vita launch titles.

Holy shit. (Wait, no... WipEout?)

 

[revolverjgw]

WipEout 2048 is another surprise. Isn't the game supposed to have horrendous load times, like ~45s for a race?

Made by British people, automatic +2 points

 

[Anth0ny]

Final Fantasy XIII-2 – 5

Huh.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D – 8

 

[FateBreaker]

FF XIII-2 a 5/10

Wow harsshhh. But I would've given FFXIII a 3/10, so I guess this is an improvement.

To Edge it's not. As someone posted above, they gave the exact same score to FFXIII-2.

 

[Amir0x]

FFXIII-2 sounds about right, the game so far feels like someone is gnawing on my ballsac. Every torturous second I proceed feels like an eternity, slowly slicing years off my life without me even realizing it. Listening to moogle's voice is something equivalent to gouging my eyes out or dipping an open wound in pure acid I'm sure. The battle system is far less complex, they removed meaningful haste, and it autoplays itself even HARDER than FFXIII - which was already the ultimate autogame for tards. Noel and pretty much every character encountered is abysmally written tripe not out of place in some Trekkie freaks' Captain Kirk/Picard 'bi-curious' fanfiction.

Edge rates on the entire scale though, so realistically FFXIII-2 should be a 2 out of 10. Amalur should be a 7/10 on their scale, good game.

 

[pelicansurf]

Does anyone actually base their purchasing opinions on what these jokes say?

 

[Gospel]

Maybe Edge played the PS2 version again by accident and scored that one.

 

[Mooreberg]

So, Metal Gear Solid 3DS >> all Vita launch titles.

The second game on the list is a launch title. Unless something is going on with the UK release that isn't widely known.

Does anyone actually base their purchasing opinions on what these jokes say?

Considering the circulation numbers, I'm guessing not many. I just look to see how bad they trashed whatever the month's big releases are. And to see a game like NeverDead get a higher score than elsewhere for reasons that we don't need to get into. ;-)

 

[Htown]

They don't even make their dislike for RPGs subtle anymore.

Xenoblade got a 9. So did Skyrim.

 

[rvy]

NeverDead – 7

That's unexpected.

 

[Blablurn]

im surprised they gave neverdead a 7

 

[bozeman]

Yeah, no kidding about NeverDead. After hearing and seeing such poor things about it, to see Edge put it at a level or above some of those other games is surprising.

I'll probably get it after it gets about 3 bomba price drops.

What makes it so torturous for you? I have yet to play it, so I was wondering. I heard it was a slight improvement over FFXIII. Also, glad to hear you like Amalur, considering I rarely see you praising games in threads, especially RPGs.

 

[Brazil]

XIII-2 deserves a lot more points than XIII in any scale, IMO. It's a much better game.

 

[Kyoufu]

NeverDead getting a 7 blows my mind.

 

[Acquiescence]

So, Metal Gear Solid 3DS >> all Vita launch titles.

Nope - equal to Wipeout 2048.

 

[- J - D -]

Made by British people, automatic +2 points

Also, Eurogamer gave it a 7/10. So really, Wipeout 2048 is 6/10.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Review scores don't work like that.

And even if they did, WipEout got an 8 as well.

 

[bluedeviltron]

All scores I'd agree with for the games I've played (Amalur, SWTOR and Darkness II).

I'm suddenly 70% more interested in bargain binning NeverDead.

 

[Caspel]

I like Edge's review scale and scoring. Too many 9's are dished out nowadays, so it's refreshing to see critics take a harsher stand on quality control.

 

[codhand]

Wait, is MGS 3D's framerate not shit?

 

[GeoramA]

Big month for Konami!

...yeah!

 

[Impeccable]

Interesting scores all around.

Not sure why anyone would continue playing a game they call 'torturous'. Unless there is some sort of GAF meme thing I'm missing.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

If Reality Fighters is as good as Kingdoms then that must be a pretty amazing fighting game.

 

[GhostWriter24]

So, Metal Gear Solid 3DS >> all Vita launch titles.

Hope you enjoyed GAF, friendo =/

 

[Mafro]

Maybe Edge played the PS2 version again by accident and scored that one.

Maybe the 3DS version has been improved since GAF was fellating themselves over how bad the previous screenshots and footage looked.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Was NeverDead made in the UK?
