@Latiran Have you even played the game? In my opinion, 5 was more than generous. I bought this game in the hopes that a Beenox-designed open world game would play at least as well as the original Spider-Man 2. Not only is it significantly worse, but the graphics would largely be considered substandard against most 360 and PS3 "last gen" releases.
The game is insultingly bad, and the fun of traversal wears off in minutes. There are only 14 campaign missions, and no less than 5 of them are little more than tutorials.
Appreciate honest reviews. If you're just looking for someone to sell you on a game by "look(ing) at the positives" just talk to a sales associate.
Re-review is slightly better than the abysmal original review. Diablo 3, if it launched as it is now, would (perhaps) have been worth an 8. I can see the reasoning. However, the utter waste of text/scoring that it stands against, makes it kind of ludicrous.
I'd say launch version: 4-6
Current version: 7-8
Path of Exile: 8-9
What I'm not sure, is whether games deserve a second review, if it takes over a year for the title to get there. A more overt 'editorial' piece would seem less silly.
Last week, I face-planted on my keyboard for most of the show. (I had fallen asleep about 10 minutes before it began.) This week, I am preparing myself with an innovative new readiness tactic: Pre-nap. There's no escaping me this time. Or maybe there is. Narcolepsy can be challenging. (Yes, really.)
Okay... Let's see. I can improvise a story to this. Ummm...
Our scene opens in the antiseptic pale of a police interrogation chamber. Officer Spooge McRespawn made the arrest of his career; a willing criminal informant of inexplicably Italian descent. What follows is a word-for-word recreation of their exchange. None of the names have been changed, because I'm making all of this shit up as I type it.
The unbearably contrived fictional criminal Don Dondoni leans back in his folding steel chair, lazily whirling his finger at the edge of a mustache I just gave him in my mind.
"Yeah, I remember Crazy Johnny Shaun. We called him that because his name was Shaun."
