Conduit 2 going positive

Weren't they the same site that gave BO and Goldeneye a 6.5 and most other hardcore third party and some first partyWii games below 8.0.I rather wait for a complete trustworthy site to review this game because I don't trust GI.I trust IGn kinda on their review of this game Except I have to see how I feel about the graPHICS.

If the score bothers you so much, read the text.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"]Oh and just so you know. All games have flaws. Whether your arguments are valid or not, this game is getting 7.5s to 8s (I can't believe you take Game Informer seriously lol and take their view as a fact). That is a positive and good score, you can't deny it.super600

Aren't you essentially doing the same thing by shoving the higher scores in peoples faces?

Also, what is wrong with Game Informer? You might not like them, but they're certainly well known and have a following.

Just because the scores don't help you doesn't mean you should write it off, but I've come to expect this from you.

It doesn't matter, people defending the game like the cling to uncharacteristically high scores and throw away the ones that don't help their argument, it's a double standard and just as sad as all the rest of the excuses people make up for this mediocrity.

Actaully all the scores besides that one are mid 70 to low 80's.Anyway from what I seen and read about this game from reviews is pretty good, but it's not oh my good bad like you guys are trying to tell me or oh my god it's actually good like some of the hypers. I rather wait and see how I feel about this game when I get it.

two are mid 70s, one is in the low 80s. By your logic we should throw the 80 out because its as big of an outlier as the 60s score is. Thats what metacritic is for, and metacritic stands by me at this point.

Actually I did, I assumed it was AA and it wasn't, it's A, thank you for correcting me.

As I said, metacritic stands by me at this point. Hell thats not even including the two reviews that aren't on metacritic that gave it 6/10 :lol:

As if trying to compare a matercritic score that has only 4 reviews is any better. Both sides are no better then the other.

Because I am actually taking ALL the reviews into account and not throwing away ones that don't support my point? Right. I guess I should take into consideration scores that aren't even out yet because that would totally add to the discussion right?

All I saying is that there only 4 reviews so far, so it pretty unfair to compare the metacritic score to one that has like 30+ reviews. For all we know it could end up being worse or better as more reviews come in.

He's telling the truth.You never know if a site like GS would pull of an IGN and score this game a 7.5. So let;s wait until this game gets atleasst 25 or more reviews.

Lmao at ignoring all of the lower reviews for this game in your OP, afraid to admit reality?

The game is ONE POINT higher than The Conduit on metacritic.... thats pathetic. I thought HVS was supposed to deliver????????

WreckEm711

Yeah, you rep that one point metacritic difference, HVS sure did learn from their mistakes and finally deliver after years of shovelware!

WreckEm711

Yeah must have missed that part, because it wasn't there, and it still unfair to compare them now anyway.

Yes, plz sheep, hype this game its an awesome FPS :lol: Hard to believe some people are saying good things about such a mediocre shooter, seriously BBQ lol sauce!silversix_

Lol! Have you played the game yet?Anyway I couldpull the medicore card on COD MW2 to you know.

For the time being, the current scores are the only thing to compare, so thats what will be compared. As reviews roll in, they will be included, and yes, there are two 6/10 scores that aren't even up on metacritic yet :P

Because at this point in each games lifetime, Conduit 2 is getting lower scores than the first did, and as was the case before the game was launched, the staunch HVS-cheersquad refuses to hear any negative criticism against the game :P So it's incredibly fun pointing out all of it ;)

Well it did already got much lowers score from IGN and Nintendo Power then the first (through both scored it too high TBH), however who knows maybe it will get more positive scores. I still not going to bother to play the game through especially since I not liking the wii as much as before...

It will potentially go up to a 72% or 73% if the positive reviews keep on coming for this, but you never know if the score will actually drop.

Considering most uninspiring shooters rely on their production values, it goes to show the standard on the wii for these type of games is pretty damn low. Which is a shame considering the potential on the system, Red Steel 2 from all that I have read was a serious step in the right direction. But that's my stab from what I've read and watched about the two games.skrat_01

Red Steel 2, Goldeneye 007 and Metroid Prime 3 are still far better shooter-type games than The Conduit series will ever be.

At least MP3's highest setting was silky smooth. Conduit's is too jittery all the time.

From my experience, the Conduit is simply just a very faulty game, and not up to the standards of even the wii. Games like Goldeneye, Red Steel, and Metroid Prime laugh in its presence.

The jump in quality from Red Steel 1 to Red Steel 2 is astounding, Ubisoft got pretty much everything right that was wrong in the first game. It's controls where perfect, the gameplay was fun and addicting, it looked beautiful both from screenshots and in motion. I really do hope Ubisoft put that much effort into their future Wii/3DS games because if they do i will be more than happy to support them. Red Steel 2 is the definitive Motion+ game heck it's the definitive sword game on the Wii.

Agreed completely. I would even go as far as to say the shooting in Red Steel 2 is more satisfying than in The Conduit, and shooting is really a secondary thing compared to the Katana, would LOVE to see a Red Steel 3 on the Wii 2

I remember the first game being included in graphics debates :Pracing1750

I been hearing multiple reports that thesequel looks vastly better on TV screens.So I think if someone saw it with their own eyes on a TV screen I think it could be included inWii graphics debate.

That's great, I have not read their reviews for it, nor do I care to. I only look at reviews to get more information about a game that would have otherwise not been known. It's too late now considering I've played both those games to their entirety.

Finally got a chance to play some conduit 2 and wow...

It's 3 steps above The Conduit in every way. Everything was improved here although dialogue could be better, and the controls aren't quite as good as the first. Besides that, its a massive improvement. A solid 7.5-8 I must say.

In my opinion most of thecomplaints in some of the reviews sounded like complaints from a typical modern COD game released in the last couple of years,but sadly reviewers of the COD franchise don't apply these same complaints to the COD games.

Lately, 2 sites have given it a 5, one site gave it a 6 and the other a 7.2 The scores are going up and down from what we see.LastRambo341

I hope it stays in the low seventy range because it looks like that the highest range it will be in.
