They're lucky, then.

What people fail to understand is that reviews are opinions. Of course someones personal beliefs are going to affect their stance on the game, just as if you don't like a particular game element that might seem inane for you, others might feel the opposite toward such. I actually like Gamespot. You never know what score a game will get which makes it so unpredictable. Other places on the other hand, especially IGN you can tell when a game is going to score a 9. I feel like their system is less on personal opinions, and more on what will make people happy. In gamespot however since the reviewers don't really care, they seem to be highly criticized. I actually wish more places were like Gamespot, it's really annoying that virtually every game gets the same score by virtually 90% of game critics. That rarely happens in other mediums.

The funny thing is when people actually get angry over a review score. I mean, surely there are more important things, right? I couldn't believe some even ended up personally attacking Carolyn for her GTA review.

I like the time trial thing that psn does. That could be an alternative to demos, though demos do still come out, just not as frequent as before.

Does anyone remember the disk demos that came during the ps2/xbox/gc era? I loved those!

Finally, this game was getting too much love here, it was almost abnormal. It's one of my favourite games of the past generation.

Spanish is my native language, so it's alright ;)

Tell me about it. I had been searching forever to get a similar to the masterpiece that was DQ8, but couldn't find it, until... Ni No Kuni! It is literally almost the same in the sense of its esthetics and gameplay. I finished it 2 days ago and I was enthralled by it. I don't like Jrpg's that much, DQ8 was perhaps the last one I truly loved and Ni No Kuni simply was a delight to play. Its one of my goty's.

Wait a moment is this another, "overrated games thread" in disguise? Because that's the vibe I'm getting. Is thread specified toward games that I didn't like because they were bad or because they were critically and commercially successful, but I detested them?

Because I like it and you don't? Seems pretty obvious to me.

In all seriousness, I just enjoy it. The splitcreen is superbly fun with friends and its like playing fallout, but without the feeling of loneliness. It is pretty fun.

They should have bots and thus you'll learn how to play before hoping online.

To be honest this is a smart move. I personally won't purchase the game since I'm not a multiplayer person, but this is what most games that are geared toward multiplayer should do. Instead of spending resources to develop an awful single player campaign (bf3 was an abomination) they could use them to build a near perfect multiplayer experience. Seriously focus on one thing and you'll reap the benefits.

By the way get Playstation Plus. Vita games are really expensive, plus is a great value considering you get at least 1-2 AAA vita games a month, without counting indie games.
