Looooool Whitney the Golden games was an Arabic magazine never knew about it. For sharing that too
The reviews are relatively positive. IGN’s bad review sticks like a sore thumb. So far, Downpour is very well received.
IGN’s reviews are bullshit like always, so I’m not even counting it. I watched the video review and it’s just insane – a bigger focus on combat? The heck? And “lack of detail in the enviornments” is just absurd by just watching the video. Sure, the game’s not Crysis 2, but it doesn’t have to be. But what makes me laugh is that this game got a lower score from IGN than Homecoming. Just wow.
When one review conflicts with all the other reviews then there might be a problem with the reviewer and not the game
Looking good in the review department so far.
@Joseph I agree.
Check this review out. I’ve not watched all of it, but within the first minute I wanted to hit this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gRlEV5IPGY&feature=related
there are walkthroughs already up on youtube btw dont want to spoil it but cant help :/
I think IGN has lost alot of cred in past few years… the score is usually depending on how much free merch and money they get in their office from the publisher. They cant get their mouths off EAs dick long enough to review any other games properly.
looks like that IGN 4.5 score is pulling the average down. lame asses.
Lemme tell you guys. Play the game and IGN is wrong dead wrong and I mean it.
I am definitely going to play it. From what I have seen so far it looks awesome. I just think IGN’s view is kinda ridiculous. they are so low compared to the other’s it makes me think the guy had it out for the game before it even came out.
@Ross Ingram – He must’ve been having a joke, or just trolling. I really hope that was the case because I simply cannit comprehend how somebody can really be that clueless. If he hasn’t played any of the previous Silent Hill games, rhen you’d think he’d have done a bit of research.
For the sake of my own sanity, I’m just going to assume he was just having a laugh.
Heh, he says its lower than previous titles which were bad…. IGN gave Homecoming an 8? Yet says this is just “as bad” wouldn’t that mean it’d be somewhere up there around the 8 field not way down at 4.5. Yeah I don’t think that guy know’s what he’s talking about or what the game was shooting for. Just my oppinion.
IGN lost most of their good reviewers over the past few years. Now they just seem out of touch with a series like Silent Hill. I watched a walkthrough of this game on Youtube and it really looks good so far.
Hope you’ll make a review soon as well 🙂
I second Tom. Do a review of the game 😀
is it helpfull if I’ll post something I found? for example: http://www.cheatcc.com/xbox360/rev/silenthilldownpourreview.html
or
http://www.gameshark.com/xbox-360/reviews/4002/Silent-Hill-Downpour-Review.htm
I hope to do a review guys 🙂 also Mark thanks for the two other reviews!
I really wish they would be a little more careful with spoilers in their reviews.
Good to see how good Downpour is rated 🙂
