Isn't this the same nutjob IGN got to review SW3? What, did IGN decide that he didn't suffer enough?

My comments from the topic on IGN's review of SW3 don't change. This review's just as bad.

Yep, not surprised that there's bias. This guy probably can become the number one most hated internet reviewer by Koei's fans. Let's see what kind of nutty antics he'll do one Hokuto and Gundam come over.

While I'm here, might as well post other sites views. Gametrailers rated it 6.7. Not too bad, could have been worse. At least it's close to a 7.

The entire fifth page of comments is anti-Anthony from what I can tell.

Inb4 IGN ignores it and goes on to reviewing the next generic FPS.

Why are people surprised? This game was bound to get reviews no higher than a 6/10, they always get low reviews.

A lot of reviewers just don't get these games. They call them dull and repetitive. Only hardcore fans like us will really understand and appreciate these games.

Thank god I hardly give a crap about what reviewers say, otherwise I would've missed out on tons of great games.

I honestly don't appreciate that just because you guys disagree with these reviews that you always have to fall back on knocking first person shooters -_- they are just as much unique from each other as these games.

Anyways, Yeah, definitely disagree with this one, as the game is freaking awesome. The thing that bugs me the most about these reviews, that if you look at the seperated ratings for presentation, graphics, etc. that just because they don't like the game or give the game an overall bad score, that every single element has to fall under that same score. I honestly think the graphics and lasting appeal deserve way higher then that. But no, since they give the game a 4.5, that that means every element of the game is a 4.5 or 5. :rolleyes:

But that's exactly the point. They're just as unique as the games in the other genre that get continuously high scores. IGN seems to have a hard on for FPS and sports games, and don't seem to give good, objective reviews to hack/slash because of personal tastes.

I play MAG and Metal Gear, so it's not like I don't like FPS. (MGO somewhat counts as an FPS).

Okay, but most don't say it like that. They knock them and say they are generic, and don't change anything from one to another. I agree these games don't get their rightful judgements, but I think most FPS games get fair reviews for the most part.
Personally I've always thought that review sites shouldnt have to review every single game, and thus shouldnt if no one at their company is interested to do so in the first place, as its obvious this reviewer doesnt like doing so with these games. I don't think there is anything wrong with only having one or two pro reviews, if the game just isnt as popular. Much better then having 20 pro reviews in which most of them had to review them without even wanting to in the first place. :facepalm:

they should have more diverse reviewers so that each genre will get equal attention,that's how i see it........

sadly,despite all the rant about reviews,none of the SB3 greats here have putted up a review on the review section,i'm planning to make one but its a bit too late?(since i will only comment on SB3,and SB3 only not SBSH)

Problem Jap games in general require the player to pay more attention spend more effort in them. The "western" style of flicking through would never do justice to them.

From reading the first paragraph of that review "Japanese game development is at least five years behind" I kinda knew what to expect from this talentless hack. :rolleyes:

Seriously what a douche I've seen dinner menus longer than that review, somebody in high school could of done a better job.

actually,he's quoting keiji inafune,which said that when he was asked why the new DmC looked like trash............he thinks that making dante look like the head of ninja theory will evolve his products 5 years faster i guess

so yeah,i think the reviewer are making fun on inafune,not pulling out some fake knowledge about japan's gaming industry fact....

his review is still awful though

So yeah, hate to sound cryptic and cynical, but what does this mean for the hack-n-slash genre? Capcom decided to throw it's own game in with their own take on the genre, and that didn't stop Western critics from ripping it to shreds? Was SB3 really not that good of an effort, or are Western critics really THAT desperate to see this genre die?

IGN =/= all Western critics. It's that simple. Not to mention that the game can get its own share of fans even with sub-par reviews.

Yeah I know Keiji said it but this reviewer took the quote completely out of context and applied it to something which the quote had nothing to do with originally.

First off we canīt say that IGN generally is biased or unworthy being called a game site.

Itīs just strangely letting a 5 year old kid rant about games he doesnīt like. I mean, he gave Blur a 7.0 because it was too hard for him. That game got from 8.5-9.0 on other sites.

Samurai Warriors 3 got a 3.0 and we know what SB:SH got.

I mean I could write better rants. Seriously, I could do one for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is so F'n overrated by gamesites, that it makes me sick. Itīs bugged, practically the same as the first one, itīs plagued with Mods/Hacks, there are clippings issues and uneven diffictulty in the AI. NOT, MENTIONED.

Because itīs Call of Duty. Not to say they do that for every review, but if you shoot stuff + blood = instantly over 5.0
But thatīs not only for IGN thatīs for western game sites generally.

Greg clearly writes it, just so he can jerk off a bit and show that he has 0% journalistic qualities. He could make a MySpace Blog site were he rants about stuff no ones interested, but working for a known gaming site, people actually listen to...2012 might not be so bad afterall.

Excuse me for throwing my two cents into the pot... but from what I've noticed-

Most Hack n' Slash games get a review based on the first two or three levels, played on the lowest difficulty setting.
Most western reviewers don't take / have the time to fully play a game, so they'll just do what they can, when they can.
A friend of mine is a game reviewer... to put it in blatant and simple to understand terms: He's got well over 100 games on his trophy list, barely a few of which are over 10% complete.

I suppose it kind of sounds like a lame example, but, most games give out trophies simply for level completion nowadays.
It just goes to show that because of the stack of games in the inbox, they're unable to give most Eastern games... hell... most games in general the dedication they need in order to be appreciated.

It's more a less blatantly obvious that most reviewers see it that if a game can't be good within the first hour, it's not worth playing.

Now, I do agree that the generic models look a bit off, but who the hell is he kidding basically saying that the game's overall look is trash?

Ugh... I lost my train of thought a while ago...
*Grunt* *Rant* *Mumble* *Hiss*
- . -

[ Edit ] And, let's not forget, if there are no cheat codes or hacking methods to exploit, the game lacks entertainment, correct?
