No, but I'm sure it will get docked for being in a genre. Reviewers tend to hate that when it's convenient.TrAcEr_x90 said:

Nah, your going to get lot of "nothing new here" "god of war in HD!"

I think the points will be docked by people saying it doesn't do enough new stuff with the core combat. These may be the same people who never bothered to learn that there is more to the core combat than Square-Square-Triangle, or worse still, L1+Square.
I hope that reviewers are sensible enough not to consider multiplayer a necessary bullet point for hack/slash/adventure games. Didn't happen to Bayonetta, so I'm optimistic on this point.
edit: very beaten

Why? because he praised 2 PS3 exclusives in 1 paragraph?

Even though that quote is awkwardly translated, it still seems obvious that it isn't good writing. Maybe Zoukka is taking issue with the style and not the content?

I guess every single player only games coming out this year should get points taken off because of the lack of multiplayer...

And if GoWIII really tops U2, then I guess we'll see tons of Holy Shit Impressions from GAF as well right ?. :lol

I was asking him that question because he seems to consider the score/review disingenuous given it was from an official PS magazine. I wasn't suggesting it got a perfect score because of that fact or anything of the sort. In fact, because you've misunderstood me, you've replied to the wrong post.
"Deal with it?" Deal with what? Twit. :lol

ESRB Rating Summary Spoiler tags in case:
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a half-human, half-god-like Spartan (Kratos) who seeks revenge against the gods of Mount Olympus. Steeped in ancient Greek mythology, the game depicts a fantasy world on an epic scale.
It also depicts exaggerated acts of violence and frequent killing. Using double-chained blades and arrows, players hack-and-slash skeleton soldiers, rabid dogs, a centaur, a cyclops, fire-breathing creatures, and other monsters. This combat is both bloody and fantastical. Large sprays of red blood occur when enemies are hit. Blood often stains the ground, surrounding walls, and sometimes on Kratos' body. When defeated, enemies drop magical, glowing orbs that boost health and experience. The most intense depictions of violence occur during boss battles with the gods. Players engage in close-up and extended battles that are completed by pressing button sequences corresponding to on-screen prompts. One god will be thrown repeatedly into rocks and walls; another god's eyes will be gauged out by thumbs. A god may get pummeled into the ground or have its legs sliced off, its head torn off. In one sequence, blood will stain the screen after each of Kratos' blows, building up to the point of complete saturation. Immediately after "dying," the defeated gods often have fantastical endings such as transforming into a swarm of mitelike insects or a cascade of plummeting water.
Players will encounter a goddess and her two hand maidens, all topless, all holding and caressing each other.The game contains a sex mini-game. If players wish to, they may join the goddess (and only the goddess) in bed. Actual sex is never depicted as the camera drifts, then fixes on the two maidens, who watch from a distance. As players respond to the on-screen prompts with button presses, the topless maidens will continue to watch, and sometimes caress. Moaning sounds from the bed can be heard throughout the sequence.
The game includes some behind-the-scenes footage that contains a few instances of profanity (e.g., "f**k" and "sh*t").

Most probably, it will get points knocked off for playing like God of War. They will complain that it feels last-gen. Edge will definitely point that out and say that GoW gameplay needs innovation and its starting to grow stale.TrAcEr_x90 said:
Speaking of Edge, some kid on N4G compiled a list of Edge's reviews of PS3 and 360 exclusives, and found out that every PS3 exclusive earned less than the average metacritic score and every 360 exclusive earned higher. It was pants-on-the-ground flamebait, but it did make me wonder. More probably, he had wrong scores or something.
