Zhang He's cool but my favourite character has got to be Sima ''Mwahahaha'' Yi.Jimothy Sterling said:He is.Hades said:So Jim, every time you mention Dynasty warriors 8 we get Zhang he on screen fighting against the yellow Turbans. Is he your favourite character?
I also captured over an hour of DW8 footage for Destructoid's video review and I'll be damned if I'm not gonna squeeze my money's worth out of it every time I mention the game.
Reviews are just as subjective as their scores.Monxeroth said:Thats the definition of a reviewFappy said:It's simple, really. Reviews are meant to inform consumers and help them decide whether or not to buy a product. It's not supposed to act as a means for people to validate their interests. Different sources of review represent different outlooks and not everyone's going to agree on what does and doesn't make a good game.Monxeroth said:Well that depends on if there is a "correct" use of them and if youre already sitting on it then it would be nice to have that proper use of scores presented as part of your argument, would that be possible maybe :U?Fappy said:I like how Dynasty Warriors is finding its way into every video now.
I don't know if you're framing your argument to include it or it just fits perfectly into every discussion about the industry XD
Also, agreed on all points made. Part of the reason why I hate review scores is due to how people misuse them.
"I hate review scores is due to how people misuse them"
Well, how are review SCORES supposed to be properly used if theyre subjective based?
I don't remember ever stating there was any right way to writing a review or generating a score if that's what you're implying.Please present the correct way of having correct opinions please c: that shouldnt be too difficult right?
I feel exactly the same. My feeling is that there's no such thing as a perfect game. When I see games get perfect scores I get very suspicious. Adam Sessler gave Bioshock infinite and Last of Us a 5/5. They are great games but they both certainly have problems and in his review of Infinite, in particular, he spoke about the game as if it had no flaws whatsoeverTheProfessor234 said:Might just be me, but I always feel better if there is negative criticism about something, or rather, two or multiple sides to something.
I don't know how to explain it but I always get a weird feeling if something is highly loved by every single person.
It seems you've misinterpreted my meaning. I suppose I could have been more clear, but I never meant to imply there was a correct way to generate a review score. When I say, "... how people misuse them" I am referring to how consumers/gamers interpret/use them.Monxeroth said:Implying the fact that you most likely have a proper use in mind of generating review scores, a statement im highly interested in and would like to know how such a thing would be possible.
Well the best use of number scores I know of is from SF Debris (Who is a Sci-fi reviewer who's mainstay is Star Trek) who uses them as a ranking system to compare to other episodes in the same series. (so a 5 for an Enterprise episode is not the same thing as 5 for an episode of TNG) It's about been able to say these are what I think are the best episodes and these are the worst not to measure some standard of "goodness"Monxeroth said:Thats the definition of a reviewFappy said:It's simple, really.

I've explained that multiple times already:Monxeroth said:So then what is the correct way to properly make use (use that in the future, MAKE use) of review scores and interpret them :U?Fappy said:It seems you've misinterpreted my meaning.

EDIT: Jim's episode outlined a perfect example of what happens when people use it the wrong way when he showed that screen cap of the NeoGAF forums.Reviews are meant to inform consumers and help them decide whether or not to buy a product. It's not supposed to act as a means for people to validate their interests.

I specifically asked for the SCORE
not the REVIEW itself, the SCORE is not the REVIEW, the score is the summary of the review, the review on the other hand is..well, the review.
Score =/= Review
Score can say something completely else than my review to someone. For example my review may be good but my score terrible, and vice versa so lets just try ONE MORE TIME here.
What is the correct way to properly make use of a review SCORE
