AndyKurosaki Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Watched the Skill Up review, I don’t always agree with his opinions, but he usually does a good review. He does admit that he didn’t really love the original game, so i can understand why he didn’t this one. And it’s bound to be frustrating that he’s not allowed to discuss a lot of the content that forms his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I really hope he does a spoiler discussion later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Jeff Bakalar says this game is like 30 hours, or similarish wealth of content to GoW 2018. Ooof. Going to have to pace this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 On the topic of reviews and why The Last of Us 2 is scoring so well 10 isn’t a masterpiece, 5 isn’t average Game critics are pretentious and care more about what their peers think than you or the publisher think Game reviews are definitely not paid off Metacritic assigns it’s own scores to unscored reviews Lot of stuff I feel like we already know but gets more insightful about half way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I used to have a different opinion on this but I've come around to the idea that the best reviewers are probably just randomers on youtube 6 weeks after release. I do like reading unscored reviews tho, I feel putting a number on somebody's thoughts just colours your own reading of it too much. Kotaku, polygon and waypoint I still like to read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Reviews are service journalism and I think because of that a number just speeds up the process of that service being provided. An actual review of a product doesn’t need to be that long just a number and a quick description of the product and why it got that number. Actual criticism I think is different and more constructive to have a real conversation around games and are usually found in the more longer form video reviews and articles that come out a few weeks after a game is released. But game reviews and Metacritic are just good recommendations for a buyers guide, I think. A game is coming out that I’m excited about, it got a 9, I feel more confident in spending the money. Also putting numbers on things is just fun even if ultimately not really valuable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 My copy will be here right on time next Friday, which means I'll have my entire 4-day-weekend to look forward to a game I could be playing instead. Hooray! In my defense I pre-ordered this a year ago from amazon.uk in the hope you might reconsider this whole Brexit thing. And obviously also not expecting some virus stuff to happen. Oh well, in the spoiler bunker I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
