The Eight Heard Round the World

Posted Oct 26, 2011 at 12:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: eurogamer, uncharted 3

Eurogamer gives Uncharted 3 an 8 out of 10, and somehow sets of a massive controversy and an intense comment war.

It’s no secret that the world of video games reviews pretty much revolves around a 7-9 scale. Minus the occasional incredible game that lands a 10 or the periodic disaster that ends up below 7, the majority of new games (and most AAA games, for sure) are usually given a rating between 7 and 9. It’s an annoying reality of current games media, but one gamers have learned to deal with.

We talked a bit about Uncharted 3’s rave reviews earlier in the week (and had a comment war of our own), when I posted a rough summary of the four or five reviews that had been posted. I included the review from Eurogamer, which noted that the Uncharted 3 was an excellent title but overall a very narrow, shallow experience. What I didn’t realize in posting that part of the review is that while the 8 Eurogamer awarded the game certainly seemed innocuous enough, it had started a firestorm of controversy.

Apparently, even though the great majority of gamers have yet to play Uncharted 3, which isn’t out yet, a fair number of people are incensed over this perceived shellacking of their favorite title. The comments section of the article, which has ballooned to over 400 comments, is rife with things like this:

“First they go and redesign the site to make it look like a big cluster**** of garbage, then they go and give Uncharted 3, the best game of 2011, 8/10”

And this:

“Even Edge gave it a 9, this site is a joke is the lowest review so far.”

And, perhaps most hilariously, this:

“I can understand not wanting to go with a biased opinion, but could you guys have at least got someone who actually likes the franchise to handle the review??”

It’s important to note that a large number of comments support the review and understand that a one-point deviation from the chorus of 9s being handed out to the game isn’t really much to fret about, but it’s just amazing to see so many gamers so upset over one particular review.

The main consensus seems to be that Eurogamer purposefully sank the title to either stand out from the crowd or start some sort of argument that would thrust it into the spotlight. After reading the review a couple of times, from where I sit it looks more like a case of a guy writing an honest and thorough review and then getting strung up because his opinion differs from that of the majority. It doesn’t take a scientist to spot the intense fanboy-ism taking place in those comments.

If you like the Uncharted series, you’re probably going to buy Uncharted 3. Does it really matter if one reviewer gave it an 8 instead of a 9?

Sound off in the comments!

The Witcher 2 devs talk console ports

Posted May 18, 2011 at 12:56AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: CD Projekt, the witcher 2

Word's been getting pretty persistent about The Witcher 2 getting a console treatment.

Today, we have senior producer Tomasz Gop talking about this very issue. "We've already done a PC game that doesn't suck," he told Nowgamer. "In that way we kinda know where we're at. That's why we started off with what we feel good at."

"If we'll make a console version in the future, I'm pretty sure it won't be dumbed down. Not in the case of The Witcher 2 - there's no need and no way for us to simplify the game for consoles."

CD Projekt has previously mentioned that they did work on a console version for The Witcher 2, but only as a proof of concept.

"After we release The Witcher 2 on PC we just sit down with Excel or Project and make schedules, make plans. Then we will be totally glad to announce what is coming out; we know what team we have, what capacity we have, but we still have to plan out the amount of work. Then we will tell the world what we plan to do and 'it will be that day of release', potentially."

Of course, as all eyes are on CD Projekt's The Witcher 2, it's probably not too farfretched that they'll have something in store for us come E3. Maybe. We'll be keeping you posted.

SCEE warns of intermittent connection to PSN

Posted May 16, 2011 at 3:26AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: psn, SCEE

If you find yourself having trouble connecting to the PSN, fret not. That's just because SCEE has taken it upon themselves to close down the network in certain areas.

No, there's not another hack going on. Rather, it's because of the expected heavy flow of traffic onto the PSN's network. This should be expected, of course, considering that people are rushing to get back online after some three weaks of dead, cold silence from PSN. Simply put, it's a matter of managing the rush of ISPs on PSN.

The only thing is that they did not divulge which specific areas will be affected by this intermittent shutdown, or what time will it be happening. Still, best be on the lookout for it. If you do encounter it, at least you know what's going on.

If you're in Europe and you find yourself having trouble connecting to the PSN yet again, fret not.

Final Fantasy XI getting drop rate, fishing, spell fixes

Posted Feb 5, 2011 at 7:56AM EST by Karl B. Listed in: MMORPG Tags: final fantasy xi, Square Enix

Drop rates can be a very annoying game mechanic, especially when they start going down to single-digits. What makes them even more frustrrating is when the enemy you're killing has the item you want displayed prominently while you're fighting yet you don't get the drop even after hundreds of tries. This is what's happening with the Ironclad Triturators in Final Fantasy XI, but apparently that's going to change soon.
