That's one of the reasons I like reviewers like Yahtzee although he's a bit too negative. | ||

On www.xfire.com you can see that people still play more mw1 then mw2. You can even see that people play more sc2 then mw2 and on some days even more then mw1. I know, not everyone has xfire on when they play mw1 or 2, but you can say the same about sc2 players. | ||

You admit the game has faults, but you still give it a perfect score? I love SC2 and will continue to play it because it's great, but crying about a 9 when that is a perfectly reasonable score for the game is ridiculous. Your entire post is laughable. I was gonna point this out, but Alou did it for me. On August 04 2010 19:15 Dente wrote: COD 1 was awesome, COD 2 was easier but still awesome and COD4 mw1 en 2 are just shit and too easy to play.

Using Xfire to compare amount of players is horrible, not only does it not tell you how many people are playing the game it just tells you how much the people with Xfire play the game. Most people playing MW2 use Steam and probably don't bother with Xfire. | ||

I for one, feel cheated. They showed us all the cinematics in trailers / teasers already. The campaign missions while lots of fun, could have had more depth. I feel cheated that I played 95% of the missions as terran. So while all in all single player was fun, it really could have been better. Compare Warcraft 3's cinematics after each race's campaign and tell me which was more impressive. The script could have been better. In-game unit sounds could have been better. By saying the game is 10/10 you're saying that these aren't issues. Honsetly Starcraft 2 is a great game, I would rate is high, an 8 or 9 maybe, but 10? It's not that close to being perfect I'm afraid. | ||

starcraft campaign 6 or 7/10 IGN isn't TL, they have to take the whole thing into consideration. I'm surprised they rated it that high in the first place. | ||

LOL yeah take gaming sites with a grain of salt. they don't know what they're talking about, they make up detailed and long replies about how the game has a great story which noone gives a shit about. i remember gamespot fired a guy because he didn't like a game which was advertised on the site. really shows how low video game reviewers can go. | ||

I don't get it. also, this game isn't original or ground breaking. It's also bugged. Bugged implying that it is not perfect. | ||

Why would you read their opinion about games needing any nuance/complexity whatsoever? Look at anything that needs decent level of understanding like Mushihime-sama, Ikaruga, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter 4, etc. Aside from that, people care too much about near perfect. 9.8/10 Who cares, you aren't using a 100 point system to rate anything. Just say the game is fantastic (10/10, 5/5) but has a few hiccups, like any normal person would. | ||

We all have different tastes in games. In terms of multiplayer, MW2 excels at drawing in casual and moderate players, and everybody loves controversial storyline campaigns right (hurrr I'm gonna shoot all these civilians down in an airport) I'm only partially speaking from experience because I go play it every time people are over at my house (it's not my game) I like Starcraft 2 a lot. But a 10/10 would be unwarranted... there's a good number of flaws I can point out (albeit minor) and the multiplayer could use a couple features (hello LAN and chat channels). I think a 9/10 is a highly respectable score and deserved for the game. | ||

Honestly, no game should be a 10/10. SC2 is the BEST RTS that has ever been released, at least in terms of the single player campaign. The only game that it even on the same level as it in the multi-player sector is the original Starcraft. For a game that is pretty much the best in its genre, a 9/10 is kinda bad. | ||

There's also the issue of their archaic ranking system and placement system, the underdeveloped map-developer section, and the region-locking. Thats less about the game and more about bnet2.0 though. | ||
