ign gave it a 9/10. it made my day

All I know is I'm excited to see a great franchise return.

Smae here, friend. Same here.

PCGamer gave it a 66/100, and they get payed to make games look better than they are.

I wouldn't worry about it.

''One of the best games we have ever played'' - X360 - 10/10
''Sublime'' - GamesMaster - 90%
''An unmissable hit'' - Official Xbox Magazine - 9/10

Call me crazy, but when a game scores 9-10/10 across the board, something is wrong.

I will call you crazy... That usually just means that it's a good fucking game

10/10 means absolutely perfect. If it is absolutely one hundred percent perfect, then why did one company give it a 6/10?

‘Disaster’ is a strong word, which is good because we need one. Absolution is a disaster. It’s almost the polar opposite of Blood Money: instead of sidelining the story to focus on big, open-ended assassination missions, it sidelines assassination to focus on telling a long, linear, and embarrassingly bad story. In game terms, that means most of its levels task you with reaching and opening a particular door. If it was called Doorman: Absolution, it would be much less disappointing.

Did those three sources completely ignore this part?

The thing is, fella. This is all about opinion, so trying to force a second hand opinion won't work... You lost the argument as soon as you started.

I don't think that In game terms, that means most of its levels task you with reaching and opening a particular door is an opinion. It appears to be an actual observation of the game.

Okay, then what's your problem?

What? Literally nothing you say is in context

Your entire argument is about how good the game supposedly is and about how wrong I am, so on and so forth.

If your entire view is based on "I don't give a shit what you have to say" then why were you arguing in the first place?

What? Again, you make no sense... You are a 0/10 troll, now fuck off and stop posting irrelevant shit

I don't agree, therefor troll.

No, oyu post irrelevant shit and make retarded arguments tseeminly with the intention of pissing people off. Just fuck the fucking fuck off.

reviews are opinions. i wouldnt base my decision to buy it off one person opinion. a lot of other reviews are liking it. plus there are fans of the series that are still gonna buy it no matter what.

PCGamer are shit... Everybody is saying it's fantastic...

Everybody who?

Normal reviewers

Such as?

IGN, X360Magazine, OPS3, GamesMaster, GamesRadar

Oh, those are the normal reviewers? The companies that are payed by developers and publishers to review their games?

If they weren't payed, it would be a profitless job now, wouldn't it? They are the normal reviewers, and whether you think so or not, they aren't payed to be biased, they're payed to be honest.

You've never even heard of IGN have you?

And think about this for a moment, you are saying publishers pay these companies to be honest? "Here's several hundred dollars, tell people if our game is bad" is something companies like EA and Activision would never do.

Eiidos isn't EA, or Activision. You're really fighting a losing battle here, since I've played the fucking game, so I know if it's good or not... Crawl back into your hole.

Don't get angry here, it's a discussion, not an internet "battle."

If you've played it, why are you defending it by saying "IGN says it's good" instead of "I say it's good"?

Also, a publisher is a publisher, their job is to push something and make money. That's why they're called a publisher, they publish things.

Publish means release, not promote. I was simply saying that there are more people who enjoy the game, than don't. One of those is me.

If publishers were just there to release, then how do indie developers release games? I can name quite a few indie titles that made it out there without said publishers.

If you like the game, fine, I couldn't give a shit. I'm saying that you shouldn't trust reviewers that are payed by the creators of the thing they're reviewing, I thought that was completely obvious.

"Publishers make money off of game sales, so they would be perfectly fine with other well known companies making the game look bad."

You were saying that I shouldn't get it because somebody said it isn't good... What's your game collection? I bet a lot of people don't like any of your games... Don't comment something that is completely unrelated to the topic in hand...

You were asking if anyone had it, I said that a reviewer that has a good reputation in my opinion said it was a poor title so probably not/you probably shouldn't care.

Also, please don't dodge my points please. If you insist on continuously replying far after you've claimed I've "lost this battle" and should "crawl back into my hole" then at least argue the same point. Do you admit to being wrong on the publisher point? You appear to be dodging that.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that have differentiating opinions. I think MGS is mediocre. Halo 4 and AC3 shouldn't have existed. Bethesda RPGs such as Fallout: New Vegas and Skryim are rather crap, much like the company as a whole. You can disagree with that, that's fine, I don't care. I've already said I don't give two shits about whether you like the game or not, because that's personal opinion.

I asked if anyone had it. You replied with someone's opinion on the game, hence, unrelated. I'm not wrong on the publisher point. All that a publisher does is release the game. It's like a record label, the better the record label that you sign to, the more people will buy your product. If you don't care what I think, why are you bringing up random points about opinion? Also, why are you so obsessed with the Joker. I'd be willing to bet that you're no older than 16, and enjoy Call of Duty

See? There you go.

"You're wrong because of reasons which I am not going to list! You probably like Call of Duty which is an insult for some reason! I win the internet argument!"

let me thumb your opinion up..

not sure why they downthumb, for you saying it had a bad review.

hold the fucking phone. Not only is that not a quote, I said the reasons, and Call of Duty is a weak as fuck game engine wise, graphics wise, and gameplay wise. There are a lot of games out there better than it. You fucking lose this entire thing now. Stop typing.

Oh pardon me.

Repeating the same thing you've said and I've countered multiple times doesn't make you right.

Also, I don't like Call of Duty, but a lot of people have fun with it. So what? How many times do I have to say I don't give a shit about how people have fun?

Well then why the fuck are you even arguing your shitty point in the first place? You have no need to be here, I did not ask for an opinion, and I did not ask for 2 opinions. Fuck. Off.

have you played Hitman?

Thanks, dude... It really is like arguing with a sunflower

yeah well that guy always comes here to try and piss people off so i just told him to fuck off

Where did I say it sucks?

you implyed that when you said it got 66/100

I stated that someone gave it a poor review.

Don't accuse me of outright saying it sucks when all I did was say that someone else claimed it wasn't very good.

im done with this shit useless its like fighting a wall

Which one? The latest one?

yes the latest one

he is stating that pcgamer gave it a bad score, he is not saying it sucks.

it was implyed through implactions

I have not.

then dont tell people it sucks if you have not played it

normal reviewers

maybe

What? Do you or do you not?

depends

On what?

certain factors.

Upon which certain factors does your possession of said game depend?

i dont actually. but i did play it.

Recently?

i played the first level about a month ago.
also why are you asking?

I want to know if Amazon have fucked up my order, or if they genuinely haven't been allowed to ship it yet

when is the release?

Tuesday and I have 1 day shipping

this tuesday? then they did fuck up i think.
