SH 5 ROCKS! New Review 84% from Gamestar

Decoman · 03-04-10, 03:12 PM

A bit early for a review eh.

Nordmann · 03-04-10, 03:14 PM

Heh, guess they forgot to mention the missing features! I wonder how much Ubi 'donated' to get a favourable critique?

These days when reading reviews its best to ignore the score and just read what they say. Is it full of bugs? are there other major issues? Because these days you just can't trust most sites/mags gamespot in particular.

And if they use the word "more accessable" for a game, avoid said game like the plague or lower your expectations drasticly.

Gamestar They don't know squat about anything. Struggeling for a reason d'etre they started praising graphics all over the hills and far away ten years gone. Faulty optics and they'll call in the troops, not that actual content could possibly have any value.

Their supposed "clintel" are just the folks that helped mess up the PC-market to the state it's in now.

As I said, I don't try to offend, but I really don't see why people still read this garbage, other than some twisted sence of tradition.

But if they had said that they had hated the game I wonder how the responses from a number of the people in this thread would have gone.

No, I 'm really not. I already know.

Cue Knight in shining armour, riding to the rescue of both game and review of said game. *clop clop, clop clop*

Missing features? Maybe you forget that there are people who don't have any idea how SH3 and SH4 played with mods. Vanilla wise, the game is a gem. But the bugs... those need to be fixed very fast or the game will be severely punished by reviewers. I thought the game would get a 2.0 because of them or at least a "we'll review this after it actually works" comment.

Beleive me my non-german friends...

"Gamestar" in Germany is what "The Sun" is for England

The GameStar can be now happy indeed. They will be supplied also in the future from Ubisoft with preview and test versions.

To be honest: I was thinking about taking the opportunity of ranting a little about gamestar too in my previous post.
But I haven't read it in like 10 years. I stopped reading it just because the reasons you named and if nothing has changed since then, I think gamestar is still garbage. Just that I can't really tell what this magazine is worth overall nowadays.
