Ardecus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty aware of that you guys are quite busy adjusting and developing, i just read through the reviews of the game on IGN and Gamespot and i'd just like to congratulate you. Yeah, the game isn't perfect but no game will, every player will have their favour and dislike, i personally favour it more then dislike it, so thanks Bioware, you deserve a pat on the back, awesome work! IGN review review 9.0 total score Gamespot review 8.0 total score Edited January 8, 2012 by Ardecus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artilleryshell Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 i may be in error here, but didn't gamespot give wow a terrible review?I've seen them review things poorly before. Disclaimer: I like the game, i just dont like the bugs. If they can stamp out the serious ones, i'm in it for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaade Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The gamespot review was essentially "nothing new anywhere basically WoW, voice acting is a nice feature, doesn't really affect the game, dialogue choices have minimal impact." Even said why you shouldn't buy the game if some of these features annoyed you, like hotkey combat system. Still gave it an 8 though which could be due to the "review inflation" that Angry Joe often talks about where 10 has gone from being "the bestest most awesomest evah!!!" to being "good game, I enjoyed myself." On a scale of 1-10 5 is average, yet it is in the greater scheme of reviews it is seen as a horribly failure and overall worst game and 7 and 8 have become the new "average."

nuckdk Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 "9.0 GameplayPvP is brilliant" Can't say its brilliant, still need alot of work, like lvl 50 only pvp just sucks when 60% of your team is lvl 30- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightmgl Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Its not necessarily that reviews are bribed persay but if you start giving a bunch of EA games bad reviews then EA will stop sending you preview titles to you to review. Its such a give and take system; the publishers need the reviewers to help drive the retail sales and the reviewers need the publishers to send them copies pre-release so that their publication/website has content people care about.

NewLogic Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Yeah, good work Bioware. There's a lot to live up to after (forgive the reference) WoW. But, if you can remember, how much s.hit did WoW have on release? People are b.itching about a lot of s.hit that you don't have... but WoW didn't get most of that s.hit for 2 or 3 years after release. I say props to Bioware for the smooth(ish) launch. I fully believe they'll have most of that s.hit in the next year. Edited January 8, 2012 by NewLogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why believing those reviews is like believing the news. I will say this, however, the biggest bug in this game is EA. I know MMOs are a huge operation, but man... this game would have been a million times better if it was just BioWare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degarmo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I actually felt the Gamespot review was very fair. I personally think the space battle minigame is a lot of fun, and I'm hoping they have some fun with it down the road and make some improvements, but still, it's a FUN diversion. The GS guy makes good points about not coming to this game expecting massive innovation, but rather to expect that the makers of Mass Effect have made a MMO. That's about the right attitude to have towards this game. Personally, it's what I expected, and I do enjoy playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedstery Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 People will still claim it will fail and so on, kind of getting old on these forums. But I preferably judge a game by myself if I like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammarye Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Paying off the reviewers is a part of the marketing budget. Easy to say. Harder to back up. I wonder if you'd say that if you were liable for it. It's equally easy to say that paying off forum posters to be continually negative is part of certain other games' marketing budget. Doesn't mean either statement is true or false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Failure Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Remember folks: If a reviewer reviews a game you don't like and gives it a good score: "OMG BOUGHT REVIEWS!!!" If a reviewer reviews a game you don't like and gives it a bad score: "A fair and honest review by a trustworthy group of people." Try a little harder, ok?

Narzeja Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) People seem to forget that any review will always be subjective, and just like there are people in this community that seems to enjoy a significant portion of the game, so will there be reviewers experiencing the same enjoyment and their review will reflect that. Simply because some guy writes a review on behalf of some company (IGN, Gamespot, whatever) does not make that review a universal truth. Disagree with the review? Good for you. Agree with it? Good for you too. Edited January 8, 2012 by Narzeja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
