I wish everyone would think for themselves, but I doubt they ever will. I wonder how many sequel titles have been ignored by people just because of their numbers? If I knew people all thought for themselves I never would have proposed two scores.

Even better, it encourages quality standards. If a studio knows that they can't ride solely on the merit of the previous game it could encourage consistant quality. If you really listen/read teh creviews carefully you'll see that a sequel is always compared to its predecessor. Often someting...

Civilization 4 [Either glitchy game or just bad programming] Age of Empires 3 [Annoying gameplay] Halo (PC) [Major decrease in graphics for PC, crashing and no patch] Halo 2 (PC) [Ditto] World in Conflict [Multiplayer is bad, reinforcement mechanic was too...

I was trying to avoid people going off on my example, which is why I said that ME2 is a good game. Hopefully this is the end of it. But I also hoped for strawberry chocolate this morning. Your post also confuses. You say you've never heard of reviews being skewed because of a game being a...

I might have been excited if Civ 4 wasn't a total waste of my time. I don't know if it was a glitch, but in that game the enemy AI can build their cities up waaaaay faster then you can. I.e. the expansion of their food growth and city level never ever stops. Whereas mine stops every time I...

Any interaction in ANY Bioware game. If you watch the ME2 review by Yatzee it states it the best. They just have this weird/creepy dead face and odd motions. It makes it feel like everything is being done by bad actors and I just get weirded out, not emotional.

This is something that has honestly bothered me for years. Many times when I go to review sites, or read magazines, for gaming I see many sequel games treated unfairly. They will either be rated too high because of the previous game's success, when the game itself isn't that great; rated too low...

It is unfortunate that you can't save him, but I never got the impression that I could. I only thought that I could kill him, or sneak up on him and kill him. If you think about it, Sinclair is in a great bug mind controlling suit. Can't really get you out of that, at least not while he's...

I think what we'll see is gaming companies switching to the 'Steam Method'. Where games run off of their software and are bound to an account. It's cheaper for the company and more secrure, thus lowering the cost of the game and boosting sales. I see a lot of people compalining about game...

Once upon a time there was a large evil troll who wielded a stolen Metal Hammer called Bob who liked freshly baked monkey nuts. He ate them with pecans and soy sauce. Eating them was challenging, for they were alive. Then he mashed potatoes to bake George Clinton into a regal car. This resulted...

Someone will make a decent video game movie, I hope. MMOs will go into overdrive when too many come out in one year!

I would choose the window. Since you only said 4 people, I could care less about them. It it were 4 people I loved my opinion would change little, I would just tell them all to run as well.

I'm probably not getting it across well then. Obviously, games have many elements: story, environment, character, etc. The biggest element is actual gameplay, or how it feels to be the character running about. My point is that both sequels have no change in this element from ther predecessors so...

I'm saying that Bioshock 2 is rated down for not being better then the first. I thought ME2 was also no better, but it was rated up. @Axeli, I won't argue that there were improvements made. I simply think that, like improvemtns in Bioshock 2, the really don't change how it feels to play the...

That todays video games and cartoons cause violence. That one always bugs me since at least todays media shows consequences. Old thymey cartoons have loads of violence where everyone is just fine in the end. (If I hit someone with an enormous mallet lets see if everythings fine later.)
