Beyond Two Souls getting a 9 instead of a 6, however, is a varation.

B2S is a 4/10 for me.

that's a 3 point deviation from the metacritic score.

that means you are tom mcshea.

I know I don't work here now but I still have the right to an opinion, ya know.

I thought Beyond Two Souls was much better than The Last of Us. Gaming storytelling at its finest.

good times. If you bring it up they still get their panties in a twist

but seriously that 8/10 was bullshit, even the other GS staff had to have a sit down interview and get him to explain why he gave it that score. It was that damn serious.

Haha it was epic. The fact that even the staff, the people that get blasted over and over, had a sit down and as a result are in that instance credible? It's a great game, period. 8.5/10 why this hurts is beyond me as I love games that are worthy of that score

He had "Black Belt" on Sega Master System there. I loved/hated that game

OMG dont fucking remind me. I remember being so pissed at McShea.

I got Beyond Two Souls day one at full price, and by far the worst PS3 game I've ever played and this is coming from some one who loved Heavy Rain. B2S is pure dog poo poo, not worth $10, not worth playing, not worth a shit. Horrible game.

And some how McShea gave it a 9/10 after just flopping TLoU. How the **** does a game like B2S get a anything over a 5 but he flops TLoU?

B2S is a 4/10 for me.

McShea pissed me off more than anyone in the Video Games Industry.

No way, dude! Is it that bad? I liked Heavy Rain. B2S is in my backlog but I figured it has to have good stuff (maybe not 9/10) going for it

DA:I 9/10

My rating 4/10

can't trust this site anymore imo EA paid reviews all over the fucking place on the front page how the hell can i trust a 10/10 for witcher when they gave da:i a 9/10

?

What exactly was wrong with the review of DA:I ?

Explain yourself.....

It's not a definite say of what the game is, it's how the reviewer experienced the game.....and that's not necessarily how you would experience it.

If you buy games based of off what one review says then you're an idiot.

Go to other sites and get the overall feel.

Sadly, MCC wins this by miles.

Yeah they were one of the few sites that actually did this wild thing and have integrity when it came to reviewing a game.

Yeah, no, they were the site that scored it the lowest for click bait since the vast majority of reviews agree with me and since reviews are nothing but an opinion not facts than it's clearly once again......

Me and my majority opinion >. You and your minority opinion on this matter.... nothing but the fax mam. :P

BioShock Infinite's 4/10 is pretty much what the game deserved.

Agreed.

Holy moly I agree with you for once. I have no idea how DAI got a 9/10. Witcher 3 beats it hands down imo. If DAI gets a 9/10 Witcher 3 should get a 15/10 lol

.. Simple it is called an opinion!

Well that is your opinion.. People need to stop taking these reviews, especially scores, so seriously... They are suppose to be buyers guides, nothing more.

lies. reviewers don't assign the numbers, all the other reviewers come together and reach a conclusion based off what the review reads like. this has been verified and staff members have posted on this board stating the same.

that years later, fanboys like you are still blatantly lying over scores and reviews is insane.

DKC Tropical Freeze's 6/10 and Shovel Knight's 7/10 are among the worst, we can all agree both those games deserve at least an 8/10.
