LightningXIII 310 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Wait, so you're saying that we disregard it because it is negative? It seems it is YOU who needs to be more open minded. Sure, I thought his points for why the game was bad were mediocre at best, and the score was harsh based on the criticisms he gave, but it's still a major review, and should be regarded as such. But bashing a game isn't a good review. A proper review consists of both appreciation AND critiscm, not just one or the other. That's why it's understandable that NO game really can have a 100/100 review. Every good point about the game was followed by at least a few more bad ones. Every paragraph stated negative facts. Why include a review that has been so poorly written? I understand that not everyone is a fan of this game series, but that doesn't mean people who hate the series should write a biased review based on solely their own thoughts. It's as if this person put an image in their mind of KH3D being horrible, then played it, and then regarded it as horrible anyway. This person obviously does have an opinion, but that's an opinion, not a review. n opinion cannot be portrayed as a full, proper review.I'm just saying that this review isn't even a proper review and therefore should not be included.

Criticizing=/=bashing. That's all that needs to be said based on your wall of text. He simply didn't like the game. Why can't you just accept that not everyone will like a game? EDIT: Well, I guess criticism is sort of bashing x3 But my point still stands. Edited July 23, 2012 by KissyFace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a review is supposed to be fair, we all know that a 40 is not understandable for this game, also that guy said everything is bad, which isn't and I am not going biased, but it is not bad enough to give it a 40. Atleast a 60+ Edited July 23, 2012 by Shana09 1 LightningXIII reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atleast a 60+ To be fair, have you actually played the game yet? Also, he didn't say that everything is bad, but bad review or not, it still should be on this list, not just putting up the good/decent review scores. That being said, his score was overly harsh based on his criticisms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightningXIII 310 Posted July 23, 2012 "I understand that not everyone is a fan of this game series, but that doesn't mean people who hate the series should write a biased review based on solely their own thoughts." ^in case you skipped this. Like Shana09 said, his review could've scored bad, but as low as 40/100 is absolutely ridiculous. Simply because he personally didn't like the game. Then he shouldve just posted that as an opinion, not a full review if it was only opinion, not actual attempt at observation. To be fair, have you actually played the game yet? Also, he didn't say that everything is bad, but bad review or not, it still should be on this list, not just putting up the good/decent review scores. That being said, his score was overly harsh based on his criticisms. What we're saying is though, is that his review doesn't fulfill requirements of a proper review, as it is merely his own opinion. All he could applause was the graphics, nothing else. He pretty much did say everything is bad. Every paragraph was negatively written with full criticism. For all the good points he stated, he also attempted to support with a few reasons as to why the good point should be knocked over and forgotten.

That basically proves your point invalid. It had more then enough to be considered a proper review. Also, maybe he really didn't like the gameplay? But that aside, the gameplay section really didn't have much criticism, rendering that point invalid as well. Just accept that some will not like a game, even if most people do. EDIT: And the thought that someone should write a review as an opinion because it is negative is completely ridiculous. Expunge that thought from your head right now.

Expunge that thought from your head right now. Again, I said that I understand that not everyone is a fan of KH, in case you missed that point again. I never said that a negative review couldn't be written, I stated that even with good or bad points, 40/100 is ridiculous. Even just above that could be reasonable, but to say this game is a failure? That's crossing the line. And anyone's opinion could include all different facts of the game such as graphics and gameplay. But a professional reviewer doesn't only criticize a game, and they most certainly don't put games as 40% often. A 50-60 is understandable for someone who really didn't like it. But to have a few good points and accompany that with a 40? No. Just no. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that you're still arguing with me about it shows me that you're the one missing the point here. The AV Club gave Uncharted 3 a 50%. It's just some people's opinions, whether or you agree or not, and their review should be on the list. LightningXIII, it ends here. Just let it go.
