I got Sorcery the day after it came out and I saw the first reviews on metacritic. It was receiving 7s and 8s and I thought "it must actually be better than Sports Champions", so I got it. I agreed with the reviews completely - it's not a perfect game - but it's certainly better than what Mc Shea is giving it. Anyway, I recommended it to a friend a few days later and he said "Really? I heard GameSpot gave it a 4.5" So I came here to find out why, and after reading both the review and watching the video, I know that the review is total crap.
I call BS on this review because it's a cheap move to pull when you're late to the review game and you want people to come read your biased opinion to make those sweet advertising bucks. It misinforms people and unfairly discourages them from trying what I and many other people would call a great game with fun and unique experiences.
So this is going to be my final post about the matter and you can be as contrary as you like after the fact... the review is a sham. Take it from someone who has played the game and the rest of the reviewers out there who actually put some journalistic effort into their scores. It's definitely worth playing, and there isn't a game out there like it.
@Gelugon_baat And oddly enough, they all still rated the game higher than GameSpot.
I have to wonder if they have a proper setup for the move controller. It works best when you don't have a bunch of lights behind it so the PS Eye can see the pink light. If they're not set up right then you get glitchy movement.
PSU still has screenshots of the old E3 demo from a couple years ago, which is laughable. To say they "lambasted" it is equally laughable.
@Gelugon_baat That would actually mean something if the points they raise about a game are really true, and not contorted into propaganda or to falsely justifying a point of view. You can't say anything to defend him - not for this review. To do that you'd actually have to play the game yourself and validate that his claims are in fact true. And even then, you probably don't have the courage to admit when you're wrong. Since that isn't likely to happen and I have actually played the game, I know for a fact that the review is a sham and the problems he talks about do not exist - I certainly haven't come across them in the time I've played and if they do exist then they're certainly not to the degree at which he claims. The fact that he's the only reviewer out of so many who have had issues with the gameplay to mark the game with an adversely negative score calls the integrity of the review into question... or hell, you know what? Chalk it up to "broken controller" syndrome.
"Dude", I would like it if you didn't feel obligated to jump through so many hoops to defend an obvious sham of a review just to get so much attention. When this game earns 6s, 7s, and 8s from EVERY OTHER REVIEW and GameSpot is the ONLY site to rate it less than 50%, it calls the integrity of the review into question, and if you don't understand why that is then you are either a hopeless GameSpot fanboy or you're intentionally trolling.
@Gelugon_baat You can't actually tell from the video if he is trying to hit the troll. Just because he says he is doesn't mean that is the clip in which he's attempting it. Looks like he's trying to hit the little guys instead.
@Gelugon_baat I watched 4 minutes of gameplay where he let himself get hit in the face and he never lifts a finger to save himself. And by your logic, just because it's not in the video does it ean he actually used it.
