7 for SFV seems kinda damning, coming from Edge.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Cool that they have previews of both Knigts and Bikes and Unbox. Both look awesome!

Kinda off but, where is Gameinformer cover for this month?

7 for SFV seems kinda damning, coming from Edge.

It got a 3/5 from Giant Bomb. Considering it's basically only half a game at this point, a 7 is almost generous.

Street Fighter V [7] / PS4

Boom!

You're not wrong. Street Fighter II: Turbo and IV got a [9] I'm not super familiar with the rest of the series entries but the others mostly 7 and 8s.

 

[Zaventem]

No unique cover this time around =/

I've been on DSIII blackout so yeah, but I like this cover!

EDGE's covers are always amazing.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Aw, was hoping for a better cover. Still, Dank Soles Tres hype!

 

[Visualante2]

There is. Pictured for subscribers and a dark blue frost knight Knight of Eleum Loyce for retail. The retail one looks a bit cooler to be honest but it's just a thumb nail.

 

[Gamesgbkiller]

I like the cover!

Can't wait to read it!

Street Fighter 3 Third Strike got a 6.

 

[finley83]

The features sound really interesting, might have to pick this up for the first time in years!

 

[FelipeMGM]

Oh, I see. Thx!

 

[Possumowner]

Nice cover as per usual,can't agree with that Dying Light score,opinions an such.Shall give it a good read later

 

[CyberPunked]

Nice cover, just got it in the mail

 

[SmashN'Grab]

You're not wrong. Street Fighter II: Turbo and IV got a [9] I'm not super familiar with the rest of the series entries but the others mostly 7 and 8s.

In addition, Super Street Fighter IV was one of the seven games to retrospectively receive a 10/10 from Edge in their 20th anniversary issue (the 10 amendments).

So, this is quite the step down for the series.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Nice cover as per usual,can't agree with that Dying Light score,opinions an such.Shall give it a good read later

Having played it for a couple of hours (and then stopped playing out of frustration), I think on a real 1-10 scale that score is reasonable. I was really looking forward to the expansion, but honestly find it as annoying as it is enjoyable.

 

[mrmickfran]

A higher score than I expected for Bravely Second.

 

[Oxx]

What did the first Bravely get?

 

[ChillWinston]

Nice cover, but I can't believe Dark Souls 3 is on the cover again. The Edge/Miyazaki handjob continues!

 

[disappeared]

I really wish a bookstore in my area sold edge. Sounds like a good issue.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Nice cover. Some of those articles sound cool.

 

[Hero of Canton]

What did the first Bravely get?

[8]

So I read the Street Fighter V review. It's a funny one. Edge say in a previous interview Ono tried to position the game as something for new comers, dialing back some of the simplicity of later version of Street Fighter IV. So they take the side of the new comer, lambasting it's lack of tutorial and single player features. But then the review goes in depth to all these systems that outsiders will have no clue about.

They love the core game but only recommend it for veterans or those willing to learn the hard way.

The Dark Souls article is an extract from a book called You Died: the Dark Souls companion. http://you-died.com/book/

Nice cover, but I can't believe Dark Souls 3 is on the cover again. The Edge/Miyazaki handjob continues!

It's true but how many magazines gave the original game a cover back in 2011? This is the same issue they featured The Last Guardian. Probably could have shifted a few more copies.

 

[Arkeband]

That cover art is strange, you have what looks like a zoomed-in cinematic still of somesort, with what looks like MS Paint thick pencil tool black lines randomly drawn on top to approximate ash/cinders in the wind or something.

 

[Guevara]

Man, I haven't warmed to that yellow at all.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Boom!

that's how you start a fight and finish it quickly!

 

[Trace]

It should be illegal to give a score that low to Dying Light.

Fantastic game.

 

[DrArchon]

7 seems like a perfectly reasonable score for SFV. Fantastic game wrapped up in a shell that's sub-par.

Sad about The Flame in The Flood, but it was pretty buggy for a while so I don't blame them. I'm having fun with it, and that's all that really matters in the end I guess.

 

[Sadist]

A higher score than I expected for Bravely Second.

Well it's pretty cool game. Gameplay is solid.

 

[Alebrije]

Far Cry Primal 6, wow!!!

 

[Visualante2]

That cover art is strange, you have what looks like a zoomed-in cinematic still of somesort, with what looks like MS Paint thick pencil tool black lines randomly drawn on top to approximate ash/cinders in the wind or something.

On the magazine it's gold emboss. Edge generally doesn't scan very well.

It should be illegal to give a score that low to Dying Light.

Fantastic game.

I read the review for that too. Seemed like a harsh 6. They liked the car customisation a lot but found the AI lacking and characters unmemorable. The environment has a lot of potential.

 

[LogicStep]

How do you guys find that Primal score?
