Crysis vs Mount & Blade. Gamespot gives Crysis a score of 9 but M&B 6.....

[Jenson]

Gamespot gives Crysis a score of 9.0 ... Crysis was a good game. I played it for a few days and beat it.

Gamespot gives M&B a score of 6.0 .... Mount & blade is an awesome game, I've been playing it for the past 3-4 years.

What the hell is going on with game reviewers these days?

Too much cocaine?
Not enough crystal meth?
Who knows what these guys are thinking, they're 40 year old men who work full time playing computer games and talking **** about them.

I gave up caring what reviewers said a long time ago, because why should it matter what one man thinks of a game? I ****ing hate rollercoaster tycoon 3, but that doesn't mean nobody else should buy it.

Gamespot is about making money, selling wind and publicity, and has nothing to do with entertaining video games.

I believe it has to do with general graphics.

They're also two ENTIRELY different games, from two entirely different genres. Comparing one review to the other is a flawed argument from the start.

There is no other game like M&B for me to compare it to. M&B is it's own beautiful creation.

This is true.
It would no sense to compare Games for kids with Games for 18 +

In one you can kill wildlife and throw people through walls, in the other you slice into people and get drenched by the ensuing blood spray..neither is for children.

I didnt mean it like that xD

I meant like... How u say it in english?
It was to show what this is equal (?) to.

A "Comparison"

 

[Jome]

I think so xD

I think i could better say,

It would make no sense to compare 2 games from different Genres

Gamespot = The more you pay the better rated your game is!!

Simple economics!!

 

[Fluroclown]

um is someone actually comparing crysis to mount and blade?

Let me compare my red bucket to my car radiator...

Please - The Gamespot review was fair, and as always their reviewers actually played the game, which can't be said for other review publications.

If you enjoy Mount and Blade then play it. If you don't, then don't. You won't be able to change someone's mind just because you play it a lot and overlook the errors in the game (and clearly, there is a lot wrong with the game, but not enough to deter me from playing).

I dont trust Gamespot.
Wasn't that the thing that did that thing with Kate and Lynch or other shiz

The rumour was that gamespot fired a guy after he wrote and recorded a video review bashing EA's Kane and Lynch game!

People who look to other people to make opinions for them aren't fun to talk to.

 

[Tzsak]

Game reviews are essentially a load of bs nowadays anyway.

I remember buying Halo for my pc, remembering all the people and games publications raving about it, and then finding it was a very mediocre shooter. I'd even be inclined to call it bad. I think I've had far more fun with any other shooter I've played, and I've definitely had more fun with M&B.

Production values are now the most important thing in a game review meaning you have to spend $20 million dollars making the game or it's not a good game to the reviewers.

Well guess what? Gamers don't agree, plenty of us can do with less Michael Bay-inspired cut scenes and more innovative, fun gameplay.
