Game Reviews

       




       So a lot of people have a pretty strong opinions about game reviews.You are saying a company giving away their product for free and early to someone they know will make a review can't fairly and upfront stipulate what gets said? The company making the game doesn't have to give the review code out! It is a privilege that is paid for by good press. If I am making a new Chip Salsa. I want to sell it and be successful so I can make more varieties of Salsa. I won't release it early before it goes to shelves to a video blogger that I know is going to say really bad things about it completely killing my dreams and product before it even hits the shelves......................COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!!! YouTube and website reviewers DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to these gaming companies games early. They don't at all. It is the gaming companies product that they are giving early and free. They can stipulate whatever they want. Now if you went after it was released and bought it of the shelf (or digital shelf) then yes you should get to say anything you want.
         I know that first paragraph is a little strong. Just keep this in mind. If you are wondering if you should buy a game look beyond the reviews. Take in that companies previous bodies of work. try to find a lot of different reviewers. When it comes down to it if you are not sure wait a week until after it is published. Then you should have a much better idea of the quality of the game.

Elder Scrolls Online!

   Lately I have been playing ESO on PS4. I have to say it has been a great experience. It is every bit as good as past Elder Scrolls games. So well written and beautifully crafted. The quests are full of story and life and lead you expertly across the land. The many different stories are not only written well but voice acted amazingly. Best voice acting in a open world RPG I have every played. I am having a ton of fun.     I even stuck my feet into the PVP. Even helped take a keep. But for the most part since I didn't have a group to run with and I didn't have a mount yet I found PVP to not be as rewarding as questing. I will try again though this time with a mount  and some friends if i can find a good pvp guild.     I also the other night did my first dungeon. I am a sorcerer and flip between destruction staff and restoration staff skills. So I was the healer for the dungeon. For sure not as easy to heal as any other MMO. Directional AOE h...

It is ok to hate a Game!

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

Game Reviews!?! Worth reading?

             It should be pretty apparent at this point that by and large Mass Media Reviewers/Critics have huge problems. The problems are varied. They are paid to lie, they have a vendetta going into their review, they feel they can drive more traffic to their review if they nitpick the negatives and probably the biggest but least talked about is the reviewer either hates or doesn't understand the genre he is reviewing.                  Big Triple A official or professional reviews cannot be trusted. To often it becomes apparent that the reviewer is basically blowing smoke at us for the sake of keeping friendly with the games publishing company. Sometimes they are just outright paid for fluff pieces (allegedly). If the reviewer is mid to low range in popularity he/she is probably not going to bite the hand that feeds them. EA and other companies have shown thy will blacklist certain reviewers from review c...
