Another review: 7,5/10, from insight-factor...

[Dark Drakan]

So it's perfectly okay for legions of angry fan boys to curse Tameem's name and his company, but then it's immature when he says something back?

Now you're just being an absolute retard.

Great.

Hopefully some of the more "worked up" members can let this go as well before it gets worse.

You two finally done with your handbags now? Ive said it many times if you cant agree with someone & find you are constantly arguing the ignore list option is there for a reason. Would save everyone else having to skip through these immature arguments everywhere if you couldnt argue through half a thread. I see there was an attempt at getting back on topic but would rather it didnt happen in the first place.

No offense, but this has been dropped for awhile. There's no need to bring it back again when it's already been dealt with.

'Dealt' with maybe but the fact half the threads are being filled with these sort of immature handbag arguments is still happening. Dont want those sort of things filling the threads so discouraging it is needed, regardless of if its over after 4 pages. People are still having to cycle through pages of these to find decent content in threads, if people cant go through threads without flaming etc they will be warned/banned & end up with threads being closed.

When my inbox is full of reports when I get up (which seems to be every day currently) they have to be sorted then, not when members have simply ran out of insults for each other to finally continue being on topic. Also this wasnt the only thread I was referring to as certain members have been reported in multiple threads. Bottom line, ignore list is there... use it to save everyone some time.

Dude the guy is one of the administrators and the one that handles members. Just saying.

Ah alright then. lol

EDIT: I'm glad you didn't rip my head off about my response. When I read Sieghart's response towards mine, I was kinda like "Welp, I dun goof'd"

Yeah I don't know what admins look like since I never come across them.
All I did was glanced at his name, saw that it was in red and didn't think much of it. But I'll learn from that next time I'll see an admin.

In one way see it as a good sign you have never came across us.

You had good intentions in mind about stopping the flaming from carrying on so no head removal was needed.

 

[WorkenOnMaLeft]

it was a nice review vbut i think he was a bit too quick to comment on the combat, reviewers 9times out of ten just play the game once on normal and write the review however in a game like DMC it takes 3 to four playthroughs to fully understand the combat (notice i didnt say "master the combat" because that is impossible) so of course after only a playthrough or two his impression will that its merely accessible. i mean, i cant say how many times i have been playing the demo thinking ive got it all figured out and BOOM i learn something new.

 

[WorkenOnMaLeft]

you need to tilt the left joystick towards the direction of the enemy you wana attack (talking about close range) then you wont have that problem

 

[WorkenOnMaLeft]

Bloody Palace is back FOR REAAAAAAL? **** YEA! god... so much... AWESOME. that mode is literally whatmade me start loving DMC. i just hope it is also available as vergil once he is unlocked.
btw can someone help me out im a noob and i cant figure out how to quote what im replying to /:

Stop triple posting please. Use the edit button.

Oh and welcome to the forums.

As Sawyer said, I want to make it clear that when a game gets a 7.5/10, that probably means it's a pretty bad game. Even Fable III got a 8.5 or 9/10 on most sites, and that game sucked balls.

In general, official reviewers rate games too high. Of course, I don't know if Insight Factor is official or not. Going by how they rated Resident Evil 6 (a 5/10), they're probably very decent reviewers. So I'll still take this grade of 7.5 over the ones of 9/10.

 

[wallenb]

Can you link, comrade? This is important news.

i just went to gamestop, and saw that DmC was the number 1 most anticipated game on the site,(ps3) now its anarchy reigns; Fire emblem awakening; DmC(ps3); DmC(360)

 

[Razyel]

I got my money already! look forward to a full positive review after the official release date.

Then where's my money!...

Then what do you think good games will be rated? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's bad in general, If a game get's 7,5/10 it's pretty good unless we are going on the 4-10 scale ...

 

[Gbraga]

I hate pre-order bonuses and DLC just as much as the next guy, but I'm not gonna lie, I was really glad when I entered GMG today and saw that I'll get the Crow costume as well, I freaking LOVED that costume, I'll use it on my second playthrough

exactly, if the scale is 1-10 then mathematically speaking a 5 is a bad/average game and a 7.5 is a damn good game. this is the problem with reviews, an 8 is seen as somewhat average when it really shouldnt be seen very often instead it has become what a 6 should be (in terms of value).

I believe the problem is that reviewers have been raising the bar in terms of ratings.

I mean, even 6 years ago, games that were rated between 7 - 8 were deemed as good games. Where as anything higher was fairly superb. It also deals with how gaming companies set the bar in terms of good games too, imo.

 

[WorkenOnMaLeft]

agreed. either way i generally dont trust reviews unless they mention something ridiculously extreme like: "the final boss is a giant throbbing penis" or "the rebellion eventually turns into a huge black dildo!" lol ok enough of that

 

[Devil Player]

I just noticed that review was taken down. That's odd.

It was probably one of the most realistic ones.

 

[Lionheart]

Then what do you think good games will be rated? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's bad in general, If a game get's 7,5/10 it's pretty good unless we are going on the 4-10 scale ...

If a game gets a 7.5/10 from official reviewers such as Gametrailers or Gamespot, you can be sure it's worth less than that.
Good games often get rated 9/10, and so do less impressive games. Fable III really is a damn mediocre game, and yet, it gets a 9/10 and so forth. Now, if it's from Edge Magazine, it might be a good review. I don't have much experience with that site, though. I don't know this 'Insight Factor'.

And not to be a grammar nazi, but it's 'gets', not 'get's'.
