They write those reviews in advance, and usually embargos don't apply to scores of 90% or better."

News to me. Where do you get this from?"

I think he may be right...the review for like gta4 came out a few days before the game was released..however shit games like Lair didn't get their reviews posted until the day after they were released. Nevertheless, I am getting worried about the game, app. it's only like 10 hours long..after its been in development for like 10 fucking years. Its kinda rip off"

It's been in development for 2 and a half years, effectively. The initial story is 12 hours long. Diablo's is about 4 or 5. People spent 100 times that in the game. It's not the type of experience you just play through once."

It wouldn't surprise me since it's already been stated numerous times that Too Human is the first game in a trilogy.

well they have been floating around the concept for like 10 years now...and effectively developing it for that long. The original game was supposed to span like 80 hours...still though you do have a point there. I read some previous..it seems the game ends in a cliff hanger, kinda like Halo 2."

"only if you're the type of person that needs review scores to justify what you think of as your own opinion."

Actually yes i am that type. Whoever says "reviews dont matter" are in denial, yes reviews matter A LOT.  Everytime i went against the general reviews and bought or rented the game anyway, I was ALWAYS disappointed and 90% of the time I end up feeling the same exact way about the game that the reviewers felt.  Most recent example is Army Of Two, I played the demo and liked it, so i decided to buy it and 3 hours later i was regretting my decision big time. The point is, YES reviews do matter 90% of the time.. Now I will admit that sometimes reviewers rate games way higher than the game deserves hence GTA IV, that game deserved no more than a 8 but yet managed to get 10s across the board,"

"Wait, I'm not trying to be antagonistic here but I'd really like to know what games on Metacritic got a 6.5 and below that lots of people liked."

People play Phantasy Star Universe like no other. I loved Aegis Wing. I also had a lot of fun with Tenchu Z (flawed as it was, it had a good core idea). Tons of people like Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. People still managed to somehow like playing Two Worlds. And that's just a quick gander down the 360 list. All the games have their flaws, yes; but they all did fairly well for themselves and have pretty dedicated fanbases. If you want I can trawl through the PC and PS3 lists, and then the DS list.

Not to mention that's all I know of. There are tons more games on that list- any of them could be more popular than I am currently aware (or you are currently aware)."

I don't know if it has been posted already, but there are several reviews out. There is a chance that people have recieved their review builds but maybe won't post up the reviews until the release date?

Link to prove it.

EDIT - By several, I meant one.

Two Worlds dude right here. That game had some of the most satisfying looting I ever did see. I don't care if it was ugly or if the voice acting was horrible, I could nail a dozen orcs with one sword swing, then find something worthwhile on every single body. At one point, a whole town gets wiped out and there are just ogres and empty houses full of shit to steal. It was a god damn looter's paradise.

There's also a Polish review out, Maxim Magazine has released one, as has Playboy >.<"

Very serious.

Playboy is serious business.

"Very serious."

I'm not reading the whole topic.

I like the text part of reviews, but the scores or stars or whatever are mostly pointless. even as 'at a glance' buying recommendations they're not terribly useful.

Well here's the first.

Not good.

1UP's review is out.

Ouch.

EDIT: Guess I got beaten to it.

OUCH, well we know who is going to be PISSED at 1UP now....

"OUCH, well we know who is going to be PISSED at 1UP now...."

I've been listening to the 1upyours podcast, and they freaking loved the game, and had DD on like every 1.5 episodes, but the reviewer was a different guy, so i guess he did not.

They gave Soul Caliber 4 a longer review than that >.<

I find it funny that "too much loot" is a complaint though. And strike another one up to the "I sucked at the game due to being unable to grasp controls".

Other than that, it's purely opinion. I won't really attempt to dispute it.

Here is a really positive Too Human video review:

The combat stuff is something I noticed in the demo, and spending a lot of time on blueprint stuff and then having an item in your inventory that's better anyway does sound annoying. Still seems fun, but I don't know if I want to spend time and money on another lootfest when Mercs 2 and Viva Pinata are right around the corner.

Uh... ever heard the word Embargo TC?

too human got terrible review scores might aswell say it got Hazed
