@hinderk: I remember at the time when i played it, the animation and characters did not look bad. I do agree that someone of the woman looked kind of looked wack but not to the extend this dude trying to say. I just can not fathom a game like AC2 getting a 4 score based on the criteria put forward for a 4 score, its just not that bad of a game no matter how much you hate that game
He felt the game deserved a 4 so he gave it a 4. I would much rather have a reviewer give their honest opinion of a game than trying to guess what the majority of the people who play the game will feel about it. There are plenty of games that I hate and people love. Does it mean I'm wrong?No.Does it mean that the people who like the game are wrong?No. It just means we different taste in games. I really wish gamers would just enjoy playing games instead of complaining everytime a game gets a lower score than what they think it deserves.
@theveej: I'm currently playing AC2 and I sort of agree with both of those point. The characters and animation look significantly worse than what I remember AC looking like(It's has been around 2-3 years since I played the first so they could be the same). I've also noticed that some animations look very weird. That being said neither of those things really bother me too much and I'm loving what I've played of the game so far.
Similar thing happened with Jim Sterling's Batman review. He gave it an 8.5/10 and people freaked. Yahoo games even called him a "villain" for giving it an 8.5.
@Masha2932: Well critic score can determine how well a game sells and if the company decides to make a sequel. For someone like me it's a pointless score since I'll buy a Batman game if it scores well or not. Although for people a game needs a good score in order to buy it. Some people in the comments of Jim review said, that because of Jim only giving it an 8.5 they'd pass on it.
Im more surprised he gave Batman such a good score. I thought he would slam it for the clicks. But err...I think..he must have really liked it or somthing....Im scared....
Many of this years biggest games have gotten good scores from Jim this year. Deadspace 2, Portal 2, GOW3, Space marine, resistance 3 and deus ex: Human Revolution all got at least an 8. I honestly don't get why people call him a troll when many of his reviews are around the metacritic average.
