  • Knack: 4 points,
  • Killzone - Shadow Fall: 7 points,
  • Resogun: 8 points,

and, so on.

What do you guys think about scores and reviews in general? I'm actually a tad surprised to see Killzone - Shadow Fall's overall score.

Sound Shapes 9, Flower 8, Contrast 5. I am surprised Knack was reviewed this harsh. It doesn't look to have a lot of bugs or glitches and plays smoothly. I like the look of it, But to each its own. GI gave it a 8.25 though

Yeah Knack seems to be getting mixed to negative reviews... I'll still get it probably (along with KZ) since there's nothing else that really grabs me.

Reviewers are trying hard to not overrate games now, which I respect. Just hope it goes both ways if you know what I mean.

@Terrencec06:

Unfortunately, it does not go both ways, if you ask me.

And, bigger titles, such as; COD and Battlefield seem to be, how can I put it nicely, favored. Just like Real Madrid or Barcelona is, by referees sometimes.

I'm surprised at Killzone's review. The developer put a lot of effort into keeping the game more than a "run-n-gun", and it only scores a 7. Ghost doesn't try to do anything new and scores a 8. Even Arkham Origins scored lower for being "too similar to previous titles in the series". Gamespot's reviews are just really crappy and inconsistent, you'd have to be a doofus to take them with any grain of seriousness.

On the upside, I hope these people cancel their preorders so I can have a higher chance at getting my PS4 launch night.

I think the ONLY reason it's getting low score is because it's a new gen. I haven't heard of bugs, glitches or even framerate issues. It might be a little repetative, but it's not a 4.0. Seriously. MscShea gave Ducktales and Bioshock a 4. So don't take him seriously

It's pretty funny. People have been dumping on the X1 for 6 months, and now each exclusive ps4 game is getting a beating. Everyone should keep in mind that you play the software, not the hardware.

I'm electing to buy neither console for at least 6 months-year.

You are asking for democracy on this website?

Considering myself a mild fan-boy, I would say that I feel some of these reviews seem a bit off. COD:Ghosts got an 8, and it is basically the same game every year. I've read people's comments and they say that the campaign is one of the all-time weakest in the franchise. Why did they not touch on this in the review, or perhaps they did? Meanwhile; the multiplayer-game Battlefield 4 scored a 7, one of the negative sides was the poor campaign... this is pretty "unfair" coming from a game that started out as, and still is, mainly a multiplayer-game. People buy this game to play the 32 vs. 32 online component, not the 2,5 hour long campaign...

Actually that's kind of the goal at some point. To feature user reviews along side the ones from our editors. We just need you guys to... well write them I guess.

Multiplats4lyfe, there won't be exclusives that make much of a difference between the consoles for some time unless you only play very specific genres.
