Far Cry Review Scores Here....
Wow, personally, this is a flop to me. The two websites I trust gave it AA. I was hyping it AAA. Oh well, still getting it.
"AaronBelfast said:I was surprised about the A.I, they were fine in the 20 something videos I watched. Graphical glitches? If this applies to the PC aswell I can see PC gamers blaming consoles for a "dumbed down" game."Wow, personally, this is a flop to me. The two websites I trust gave it AA. I was hyping it AAA. Oh well, still getting it."I wouldn't quite call it a flop, but i always had a feeling it wouldn't be quite Perfect."
"RobDaFunk said:I already blame consoles for a dumbed down game, oh yeah...i went there!"AaronBelfast said:I was surprised about the A.I, they were fine in the 20 something videos I watched.

But in all honesty FarCry2 looks to be the sex, honestly really looking forward to this game and have been for a long time now. That fire animation just looks amazing, i could sit and watch the savannah burn for hours.
A flop? Are you kidding me...? Those scores are brilliant scores.
It used to be that a 7 was considered a flop (even though a 7 is way above average). Now we're starting to see the trend shift that an 8 or 9 is a flop. Ludicrous. These are some of the best scores you'll see this holiday period beyond the "big titles" (Gears, LBP, Fable, etc).
"AaronBelfast said:i blame it going to consoles because of the HUGE piracy issue on the PC. And i really dont think games get dumbed down for consoles."RobDaFunk said:I already blame consoles for a dumbed down game, oh yeah...i went there!"AaronBelfast said:I was surprised about the A.I, they were fine in the 20 something videos I watched.

Still haven't seen much for the 360 as far as reviews go. I'm dreading technical issues that might come up. Frame-rate.....specifically.

"AaronBelfast said:I agree, just because it didnt get a perfect score all around doesnt make it a flop."Wow, personally, this is a flop to me. The two websites I trust gave it AA. I was hyping it AAA. Oh well, still getting it."This is such a ridiculous statement...I really can't say anything else."
"Wow, personally, this is a flop to me. The two websites I trust gave it AA. I was hyping it AAA. Oh well, still getting it."The fact that AA can be considered flops is insane.
LOL indeed.......

This is one game that it will get even if the review are bad for one reason only, Ubisoft Montreal. I live here, heck i know were the building is and how to get there by car and public transportation. Guess is my way to keep the game studio in my city alive. I'm glad it getting good review.
"Not amazing reviews, I was expecting 9-10's all around."Oh were you expecting a perfect game?
Reviews look good to me and will be getting it when things quiet down a bit on the release front cause theres a t onne of stuff I'd like to play and this isn't quite on top of the list.
And what the heck? When did something like 8 or 8.5 become an unacceptable score? 8's are good. 7's aren't too shabby either. Things only start looking "meh" in my books around the 6 mark.
That said I'll generally play something if it looks neat regardless of what a review says or scores and this looks neat.
"Subway said:Maybe if people actually used their rating scales properly, 10 would be a perfect game. If GTA IV can get a 10/10 from most sites, I was expecting FC 2 to pull similar review scores. Now please fuck off."Not amazing reviews, I was expecting 9-10's all around."Oh were you expecting a perfect game?"

Your expectations are borderline ridiculous. I made the comment because I don't really care at all what you think about any game. Your opinion is useless. The biggest problem in YOUR logic is that you just form your feelings from some abstract numbers.
Read out loud what you wrote...."If GTA4 can get 10's, I expected FC2 to get similar scores."

However through the previews I looked at and read, I felt the game would review as highly as a game like GTA, and obviously that didn't happen. I don't care about this game, I don't care about GTA, all I'm saying is I expected it to review better.

I hope you've learned a valuable lesson from all of this!!

Dude, don't give yourself so much credit, I don't care how you feel about the game. I'm under the impression you couldn't even attack Frogger.
I just can't believe you woke up yesterday and thought it would be a great idea to randomly post about a game's positive scores that you'll never play. Geeze man, give me a break. This score stuff is so irritating.
Let me just add this, GTA4 has some of the highest review scores ever. The fact that you expected that......was that a flash of brilliance or just a really bad bet on your part?

And absolutely you shouldn't be so critical of something you've never played. Doesn't that make any sense? I don't care if you post, but man, what you said about expecting GTA4 scores is hilarious. It doesn't make anything, not even sense.
I read your post, just like every other post in this thread dude. Score hound, you deserve to be called out. That's why I replied. So tired of people looking at numbers and not even thinking beyond that for more then two seconds. And the fact that you used that language towards me? You find that appropriate? Please....
"Subway said:I'm a score hound, that must be why I thought Area 51 Blacksite was better than Call of Duty 4. Yeah okay bud.

Maybe someone else around here will have the energy to go against you on Blacksite....I'm too exhausted to even go there.
I have to say i was expecting higher scores but from what i have seen and heard of this game im going to get it tomorrow.
Very good to great scores...definitely a flop. Honestly..no matter the game, stop thinkin everything that looks amazing, has to be hailed as "AAA"....some of the best games I've ever played , on top of the term not existing back then, all that makes a game AAA nowadays is people who hype it to be so. That statement makes no sense what so ever, the game is getting fine review scores, and over 3 platforms I'm sure it will do ok financially, just not hands down amazing...I don't know how you could possible call this a flop just because you held your opinion of it higher than some reviewers did...this just in I LOVE THE GAME, if YOU play it and love it, thats all that matters.
edit- nvm, I just realized where you said you don't even plan on ever playing it...don't take any of this statement seriously or not, you're not worth even this response with how much sense this is turning out to make.
