Machinima are awesome that was a good review!

So, Wait wait wait. 2 of the biggest CoD fan-based companies have clashing views? With IGN basically deeming it crap and Machinima saying it's definitely worth a try. Oh this shall definitely be interesting.

Machinima is NO DOUBT better in every way then IGN in the first place. And IGN takes bribes Machinima doesn't.

ANYTHING is better then IGN. But I'm just saying. Most of the people that look to IGN for reviews, Are more then likely fans of Machinima, As they post a ton of Gameplay, Walkthroughs, Commentary, Ect. So when they see their 2 reviewers with completely different views chances are they'll give it a 2nd chance.

Again though - The question goes to ask....Why did/are IGN the only "big" label right now to give such a crap review?

Is it really down too money? extortion? Because they werent giving a 1st class ticket, and brought over to all PAX and game conventions?

IGN - Intolerable Geeks with No Intelligence.....

Either way - [censored] IGN - 1 review doesnt out weigh 20 good ones.

+1

Nicely stated!

Finaly some good news after IGN ruined everything with their pre-released copy

Joystiq also gave a bad review, but take a look at the update on this page

I'm just sad that I'll be at work during their livestream today.

"This puts a pretty big black mark on Joystiq's journalistic integrity in my eyes. If I had to guess the amount of time he spent playing it'd be a few hours at best, and from my point of view that's extremely unprofessional. But great job on that 2/5 score Griffin, way to shaft Splash Damage and Bethesda by putting in an absolute minimal amount of effort into your review."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

^^

wow - Talk about extremely pathetic.

Is that what journalism + reviews have came to nowa days? Complete lack of.

Anything for any reviewers to quickly get his name out and get the publicity attention.

This is truly quite a shock to say the least.

It now makes you wonder - "why have reviews been coming out so quick" - The game hasnt been out for more than 24hours, yet almost 50 different reviews almost all at once have arose 1 by 1.

Most good - some bad....But really? Is this really the time to review a game, based sorely on a mere 2hours of gameplay, to then LIE to the public by stating "Ive completed all campaign mode offline & online" When infact they have barely even scratched the surface!

This is proof alone that, in 2011 - Everything is far from the truth! Anything for quick press - quick attention, and a quick buck!

I will and never have "trusted" game reviews in my life - there is only 1 person in the world, ive actually ever listened too..

Omar from www.mmohut.com - This guy is amazing with his 15min reviews on games.

I will be asking him to do one on Brink to get his ideas on what he thinks of the game - But as to most others out there, with only a staggering 1-2hours gameplay, then the nerve to print a solid [censored] review on something they have barely glanced over.....Shame on them.

I agree 100%

@Sadiro:
SD gave out early copies of the game for reviewing purposes, because they want the reviews to be put on the net the moment it releases.

The issue with the joystiq guy is that he couldn't get into the game at first, so he called it quits and gave it a bad review. He did this days or weeks before release.

Preach on brother. Why does anyone care about reviews anyways? My friends opinions hold more weight than anything because they have to go out and spend their hard earned money just like I do.

BRINK- 9/10 still after 5 hours of gameplay.

But this being says.... Wouldn't that be considered "Stupid" on SD's part - known alone that they still had this "Wonder" patch to resolve Graphics etc etc.

I was under the impression anyone with an early copy of the game was not getting the "polished" end production that everyone is now waiting on.

So question is - Why would SD jeopardize & expose there own game, by giving out a somewhat "faulted" copy's to people whos soul jobs are to give "Reviews" based on what there playing.

lol Dont make no sense .

So now the question comes to bark is - Are these reviews all coming from the "unpatched" version of a game?

Possibly because its just how things are done. Plenty of players refuse to buy a game until they have seen reviews on it, and the first week sales number is very important for the gaming industry. A high number alone is sometimes enough to convince stores to advertise it for you, and to make people think that its a good game.

A lack of early access reviews could easily be seen as SD trying to cover up something, which they would have been, if the reason was their day 1 patch.

Most likely, yes.

Most positive review yet.

So, machinima says the sound is of battlefield standards and has no negative points for it, but IGN gives it a 6.5 out of 10 for sound? Sound is sound, its not a difficult thing to judge so to get two totally contrasting views is a bit suspect.

Reviewers should be made to use a single account for review purpses with their trophy/achievement details available for everyone to see. Then you can get an idea of how much time has gone into the game before the review was written.

I have actually heard legitimate complaints about gun noises on these forums, and what it comes down to is that then guns aren't Hollywood sound effects. Besides the big guns (like the shotguns) the gunshots don't have the deep bass that other games have, because real guns don't. The guns sound pretty realistic and yet still powerful to my ear, though the suppressors are still Hollywood-esque.

So basically, complaints about the sounds can be attributed to CoD heads as much as anything else. :tongue:

Man I wish I would see some 9/10's for this game. Hopefully they can fix the texture pop-ins and AI with future patches. If not..................... There's always hope if and when Brink dos releases.

other score reviews are made by one guy who thinks he can decide for the entire planet so here i go!
and my score is as legitimate as any other "lead reviewer"

9/10

yep

For shame Splash Damage, what did you do to piss IGN off so much.
[censored] in their cereal?

Or simply not line their pockets enough?

Rofl.

I hope that theirs a backlash and people give Brink a big chance because of how [censored] reviewers are playing it half arsed.

I liked the Machinima review. It seemed to go in depth, and would have made me interested in the game even if I wasn't already.
