Playstation Official Magazine Australia gave this game a 100 score
Gamecritics gave the game the lowest score of 45.
I would trust a reviewer giving a score and review as a critical assessment rather then giving it an instant 9/10 just because the game is fun and cool.
EA milked Sims 3 for all its worth with 11 expansion and 9 DLC packs. People who are are die heart fans of Sims 3 will get Sims 4 and all its DLC and in store content.
Im not sure exactly how gaming journalism is dead when information coming out is mostly irrelevant. The thing about video games is you have to play the game to be able to get the experience, this isnt the same as professional sports. Gamespot yesterday was showing of Shadows of Mordor on Twitch along with a game developer there talking about the game, video game websites are nothing more then a showcase for game publishers to sell their product to us. Information being presented is coming from the game publishers until its release, once the game is released Angry Joe, ManvsGame, and a hundred other channels on twitch will pick it up and show it off on their channel. The most relevant information coming out of people streaming from Twitch is the general gameplay and whether its worth paying $60.
O yeah video game reviews are also important, that will never die. Consumers want to know if a game is worth paying money for, so game reviews are very helpful information for people to determine if the game is right for them.
How dense are you?
The whole point of this is that consumers cannot find out if the games are worth paying for because people are being paid off in various forms.
I havent bought into the notion video game websites are getting paid off to give out misleading and favorable reviews from game publishers. Like I said, game journalism is coming down to what is relevant to what people want. I dont give a shit about what a game publisher say about a game they are selling because I know its not trustworthy information, but Twitch is a great place for people to see a window of a game to decide to buy. Metacritic is also a good website for people to see review scores from dozens of websites to help determine if they game they want is right for them.
