You would need to look at their other reviews of games and sequels with very similar designs and see if they carry the same weighting. Is this a principled reviewer? I don't know. Is the reviewer incompatible? No, they seemed to like the first game. Since this is not an error in reporting (clearly intentional), now we get to the explanation of such a score. I do a lot of data analysis in my daily work, and outliers are typically investigated or are relegated to a footnote when the mean gets skewed (alternatively, if it had a larger impact, you report the median to control for variance. A score like this is what we call an outlier, and it happens for any number of reasons.

Given the overwhelming praise it has been receiving, safe to say this is a title that will be well enjoyed by the public. I think as a reviewer it’s your job to strive to be as objective as you can.Ī healthy skepticism works both ways. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you’re right.

I can say God of War Ragnarok gets a 1/10 because I found it boring and too similar to the original, but I don’t think that’s a valid or even fair criticism especially given the previous game’s reviews. I mean… I feel that’s more fact than opinion, right? Such as third person controls that incorporated over-the-shoulder fps like aiming being “better” and more “intuitive” than third person shooting games before it. Things that everyone can recognize more as fact versus opinion. A review is not just entirely opinion because anyone can give an opinion about anything and that’s not a review.Īs a critic you’re supposed to be a subject matter expert, that way when you criticize something there’s a basis for what you are criticizing things on, and generally speaking, it’s typically based on juxtaposition of games that have pushed the genre forward or at the very least have design elements that “work”. If that’s not enough for you, the known quality and quantity on offer with 95% of Sony’s first party studios games which is unmatched, go elsewhere, game and enjoy Microsoft, Nintendo and the offerings on PC.ĬrimsonWing69 208d ago (Edited 208d ago ) Ragnarok, much like HZFW improves on everything it’s predecessors fell a bit short on (which wasn’t much in either game) and now they’ve been improved, polished and shined to look and play better than ever, offering gamers an amazing and fun experience. And based on reviews (I’ve been away recently) but heard a few, SSM have taken fans criticism about boss fights and cranked that up, but also made those fights meaningful, yet awesome. It’s really unrealistic to think the gameplay was going to be another big leap, because it doesn’t need to be, it already works so so well. So, they go in there, improve on what worked, add things in there, new combos, attacks, runes etc, while fixing where they missed the mark. I don’t know what some people are expecting from these sequels, SSM to revolutionize the gameplay, AGAIN from 2018? They had a formula that worked, hit hard, flowed beautifully, with very few problems. Buddy, but if it would have been, that was some of the absolute best DLC I’ve ever played! Heck, better than many fully fleshed out games, with all the improvements it had over Zero Dawn. Many said the same thing about HZ: Forbidden West, that it was meant to be DLC, which it was NOT meant to be whatsoever. Please give a source (such as Cory or someone from the team at SSM) having said this was meant to be “DLC” because you agreeing with this reviewer who says such a thing, along with some others is just ridiculous.

Then again I guess when you got nothing to play trying to find and create fake narratives if all you got.Īnd yea the reviewer is an idiot too, if you loved the first game then by all accounts this game is better in everyway so he should love it aswell, not that it needs to be a 10 but how you give this a 6 is beyond me.Īnyways doesn't matter in 4 days I'll be playing this masterpiece, can't wait to see how the story ends.

I mean I could sit all day and list a series of sequels that by your thinking would all be dlc then? So I guess all sequels to great games that were just evolutions were just dlc games then? I guess there was gears 1 and then 2-5 were just dlc really. Mean while you drop kicks do not hold that standard to any other console dev first party's. This bullshit narrative is starting to piss me off, apparently Sony's games now need to be revolutions for every new game now other wise it's just dlc.

It was always meant to be a full fledged sequel which it is. Wth are you talking about this was meant to be DLC? Your pulling that out of your ass.
