You also didnt see the real point of what I wrote either. It was not poor research. I know that alot of sites and mags don't just add up numbers. If you really knew anything like you act, then you would be able to see that their is no point in just observing the overall score. Since the overall score really is just a number pulled out of their a$$, the real rating is the broken down numbers. My point was not a poor point. If we all just went with the overall score that is just some number with no real meaning, then we would buy games and regret it. It is only a poor point to you because once broken down...........gameplay: FIFA 9.0 and PES4/WE8I 9.5. No big difference. This is also comming from the person that stated in another thread that EA lowered the price of Madden 05 to $20 to compete with ESPN NFL 2K5. All the 2005 EAsports titles on PC are $20. The console games which were the only competetion are still $30 to this day.Originally posted by Mel Brennan
Acutally, almost ALL the big gaming mags and review sites that I know of say that the scores for individual aspects of the game NEVER add up to the total review score, if you actually read those sources. It allows for that je ne sais quoi that comprises the best games, but may not necessarily be quantifiable.
Indeed, I can't think of one largely recognized review source that DOES just add up the numbers. So, actually, it's pretty poor research, and a concomitantly pretty poor point.
But let's not let that stop us!
