There's a big difference between reviewing a game and playing a game. A game reviewer has to play a game and then review it. A player only has to play a game and then, if they feel like it, rate it. I refuse to call what random people on the internet write as a review because there's no accountability for what they write and they only do so if they feel strongly one way or another about a game. A game reviewer goes into a game knowing that they'll have to write a review so they're actually going to be actively measuring and thinking about the experience while they play. A player has no obligation to rate a game and so will not be thinking about the game's pros and cons while playing.
Reviewers seldom finish games. In most of the recent "our last game saves" and quicklooks, several staff is on record for claiming they never completed said game, or gave up on it the moment they no longer had to review it.
But the players seldom finish before rating themselves. You even admit to having passed judgement on Bastion when you haven't finished it, and concluded it's a "meh". You really found a 85/100 troll topic. This has been a user review.
Can i borrow your tinted glasses? There is alot to like about BF3, but there are also negatives.
First of the level design (Metro level) is pretty bad. It starts out well enough in the park, but then gets worse as the level progresses. It ends out with a spawnpoint that is so easily overwhelmed by the attackers it laughable.
Customization is pretty good, but is this really a (damn this is) good point? Compared to the competition, this should be expected and has until now been critically underwelming. So it's hardly more then Dice catching up.
Yes, the beta is here for everyone to try out. I recorded my first game on xbox. The beta seems very unpolished, as you might notice. Please bear with me, as I'm learning the new controls. Enjoy
edit: Updated my blog with a video from the pc version. The visuals are not just better, the pc beta is MUCH more polished.
I don't think Starcraft, Warcraft and Resident Evil should be on here. Don't get me wrong, I love all three, but they are "just" extremely well made refinements/rip-offs of earlier games in the their respective genres.
