I think what you are looking for is a summary, reviews inject thoughts and opinion on the matter and pick out the things that the reviewer thinks is important. If I were to write out the features of this game while saying "blah blah blah is good, blah blah blah is not so good" it would turn the review into a check-list and, more importantly, make it boring.Sober Thal said:Uhm, what games have you thought were as great as you were told Portal was?
Is this another, it's cool to hate on things people love review?
Portal wasn't a full game, portal had a lot of glitches on the PC and Mac.
Portal was just like.... well.... no other game was much like Portal, right?
Where can I find people that review games on this website? It seems everyone wants to make a place for themselves by being outrageous like Yahtzee. Does anyone review games without trying to step up on a soap box and fight the reasons why so many others like a game?
I know you are all entitled to your opinions, much like I am. But does anyone actually just review games anymore? Or is all about the shock value, and being a hater? Why can't people just state objectively what a game has, and what it doesn't? Why all the personality?
I would rather read a description of what a game has, then what people think is wrong and bad based on some silly pre-madonna thoughts.
People like yourself are very eager to bring out the "you're copying Yatzee" card whenever you see a review that you think contradicts popular opinion. Which this doesn't might I add, I did not say Portal was bad, but I said it wasn't fantastic. The thing is, is that I've been typing up reviews for a while now and I am nothing but myself when I do so. So it's really quite insulting when you tell me that I am simply another hater. Have you ever read any of my other reviews?
For you, I would highly reckomend Wikipedia as your review site of choice.
