ign not trashing a ps3 game. you're right, i don't believe it.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I saw it like 4 hours ago. Sleeper hit on IGN. Seems like this game has REALLY mixed reviews.

I downloaded the demo from PSN. Haven't even installed it yet. I know absolutely nothing about the game.

Where are the other reviews at? I watched the IGN video review, and it didn't really look to be anything I'd be interested in if I decide to pick up a PS3 in the next couple of weeks (if it drops to $399 and includes backwards compatibility).

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Basically it goes like this

50%
60%
75%
90%
90%

Literally. VERY mixed reviews

Looks fun though

 

[TecHNooB]

I have great expectations for this game. Finally, a fantasy rpg worth playing!

 

[Piuc2020]

Actually it's more like an action adventure (a la Zelda, Okami, etc) than a full blown fantasy RPG.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

i liked the demo...

I'm glad ign gave it a high score though, I have been looking forward to this one for quite some time.

 

[Anubis]

i really dont give a shit about what IGN rates games at, they normally couldent be further from the truth

this one however i agree with

also, why wont we believe it? are you just trying to be inflammatory for no reason? tired of all the halo3 threads maybe?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Just watched the video review. Looks pretty cool. I think I'll definitely be renting this next week.

I thought the demo was boring, and one review (for import version) had it as a 5/10 for being boring.

Perhaps I am wrong? Maybe I'll check it out.

I stopped paying attention to IGN's reviews some time ago.

I think this is the one that did it for me.

Read the thread about the big Oct 12 announcement

Yep, basically. These days, a PS3 game getting a good review is like a 360 lasting longer than 6 months. It's part of the console gaming culture on the internet these days, you should read up on it.

 

[Aikouka]

I thought it looked interesting... if I get a PS3 soon, I'll have to try it out.

 

[yowolabi]

The title was right. I didn't expect a a game that had this little hype to be the first PS3 game out that got a great score, and that I actually want to play.

LOL, what a joke.

Based on the demo, I don't think Folklore is a 9.0 game IMO. The presentation and graphic style is unique for sure, but the game play wasn't all that engrossing. Like IGN review said, it's more of an animated comic book with a good story.

 

[gi0rgi0]

Played the demo last night. I really like the gameplay and the graphics are lush. I like games this style so ill be picking up copy.

Im going to go ahead and link you to a secret IGN page that can only be reached by completing a series of complicated and life endangering tests, very few done it or have ever seen this page: Text

Hey, alright! A remake of a remake of an XBOX game! On IGN, there are only 5 games rated 9 or above. 2 of those 5 are ports/remakes. Regardless of that, though, if you are using IGN, you can only provide me 3 more links of games that got 9 or above. Your one link does not disprove my statement of great PS3 reviews being hard to come by at this point in time.

Even Gamerankings show only 18 PS3 games that have averaged an atleast an 80% score (only 1 above 90%, which was a port of a 360 game/expansions).

I'm not trying to start another console debate here, I'm just trying to prove my point that a good review of a PS3 is hard to come by. I've said nothing about games that actually good, just the review scores. The posting of one single review did nothing to help whatever point you were trying to make.
