I think Killzone and Ryse are examples of where the fanbase greatly exaggerate how good the games are looking. KZ SF to me always looked like a 6 from the moment it was announced, so I was surprised when people were saying it looked to be the best KZ to date.
How much did Gametrailers give it? And edge?
What did giant bomb think of it?
Kind of curious especially if jeff reviewed it
Tim Dog rises from his dung pile!
People need to put or shut up. Let's settle this, please. Someone compile the numbers. Show us where the bias lies. Support your thesis with NUMBERS. Do they really grade Sony exclusives more harshly? Where is the proof?
Dude the game has been getting an average of 8 across the board, only polygon ripped it.
I like how everyone is focusing on one review and ignoring the fact that, for the most part, none of the reviews claimed the game to be stellar. Eurogamer's sums it up for me: looks pretty, but it's utterly forgettable.
They're in blackface and making holocaust jokes
That is what they say. LolWell, I won't be playing this or any other new FPS, but according to metacritic COD:G is better than this. Can it really be? I can't think of a more tired game than COD.
He's far from honest. He plays the gaming politics thing to the fullest. He wants to be the decider of what's trendy while wearing a $10 outfit from walmart. I said divisive, he certainly pisses a lot of people off, and for good reason imo.

Are you not seeing the scores? how can it sum it up for you, have you played it? (eurogamer is 1 review.....polygon is a money hatted 750k site launching joke)
The scores Generally range from 8-10, thats pretty damn good.......
What else are you gonna spend it on? There's no game so far getting stellar reviews especially not any shooter.
Is Gies and his 5/10 the 2013 edition of Jeff Gerstmann giving Twilight Princess a 8.8??
SeriouslyGood attitude
Please, tell me :
Is Polygon (Gies) review so important ?
If so, why ?
These kinds of post need to be written in a way to express opinion. For example. IN MY OPINION, the series has always been memorable.I can't say I'm surprised with the scores, the series has always been forgettable.
Assertion, not a thesis. Also, somebody posted a list of Polygon scores earlier in the thread which confirms his assertion, i.e. Last of Us 7.5, GoW:A 6, etc. Look it up.

Everybody said the game is 2 easy except polygon, how hilarious is that
No they don't. They generally range from 7-8. There's three below 7, one 9 and no 10s.
Globe and Mail critic said it was frustratingly hard. Who said it was easy?Everybody said the game is 2 easy except polygon, how hilarious is that

Okay folks, because I hate myself I ran the numbers.
I looked through the reviews for all PS3 and 360 exclusives and compared the Metacritic to the Polygon reviews. I don't think I missed any but it's possible.
PS3:
Last of Us
Deadly Premonition DC
God of War Ascension
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
LBP Karting
Ni No Kuni
Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault
Starhawk
Guacamelee
Metacritic PS3 Average: 78.11
Polygon PS3 Average: 68.89
Difference: -9.22
Conclusion: Polygon rates PS3 exclusives lower than the average critic by 9.22 points on a 100 point scale.
360:
Gears of War Judgment
Halo 4
Witcher 2
Dance Central 3
Forza Horizon
Fable Journey
Steel Battalion
Kinect Star Wars
Metacritic 360 Average: 72.38
Polygon 360 Average: 61.88
Difference: -10.5
Conclusion: Polygon rates 360 games 10.5 points lower than the average critic on a 100 point scale.
Remove Kinect games from the equation and the Polygon 360 average is -8.5, which may indicate a slightly less negative bias toward 360 exclusives. However, this is based on only 4 scores, and that makes the estimated average a lot less precise. I would guess that a statistical test would reveal no significant difference between 8.5 and 9.2 based on this small number of observations.
Conclusion: Polygon scores both PS3 and 360 games lower than the Metacritic average. They score 360 games slightly lower, though probably not significantly so. In other words, NOT TEH BIAS.
Use this info however you see fit.
