Post by: brawndolicious on December 19, 2007, 04:29:17 AM: well I'd imagine they would put the PC version to a higher standard. that is a massive difference for essentially no major improvements though. 1UP gives a lot of distinguished mentally-challenged reviews though which could explain the PC version.

Post by: bork on December 19, 2007, 04:51:21 AM: I haven't played either version. (I did just order the PS3 version) I didn't look at the reviews. All I know is that the 1uppers themselves were saying that the PC version is obviously better on the 1up Yours Podcast. Shawn Elliot from GFW Magazine said "I don't think you guys will even be playing this three months from now" in regards to the PS3 version.

So what the fuck? ???

Or is it simply a case of "Well, LOL, PS3 has no fucking games and this is good...8.0!!"

this is why I don't read game reviews anymore. unless it's 6/10 or 2/5 or under, I don't feel a need to really consider the reviews.

Crowded? Shit, the PS3 alone has Resistance, Orange Box, Call Of Duty 3, Call Of Duty 4, R6 Vegas, Blacksite Area 51, and Warhawk and GRAW2 if you want to count those!

Where do they get these guys?
Title: Re: 1UP: UT3 PS3 > PC
Post by: ToxicAdam on December 19, 2007, 12:08:25 PM: I can't click the links, but didn't a GFW guy review the PC version? They have a scale that puts 5 as average and 8 as a really good game.

So, it means it's slightly above average.

:btw UT has ALWAYS been shit.

Post by: MrAngryFace on December 19, 2007, 12:10:28 PM: Im more concerned with the strange gap between the PS3 and PC version. I happen to like UT3 but I can see why people dont but umm, lets be consistent

Post by: Smooth Groove on December 19, 2007, 12:16:15 PM: 1up doesn't use the same system as gamestop. The PC review can't be directly compared to the Console review becase they don't have the same staff working for PC and consoles. The PC review crew basically does its own thing with no regards for the console side. Btw, Tom Chick wrote the PC review. Wtf?

Post by: MrAngryFace on December 19, 2007, 12:28:04 PM: tom chick is a blessing and a curse to pc game reviews

Post by: Rman on December 19, 2007, 03:50:12 PM: Different reviewers.

Different opinions.

That said, that's a pretty wide gulf between both scores.

Post by: demi on December 19, 2007, 04:21:11 PM: that score is just fine, no bombing run, insta-fail

2k4 ftw
Title: Re: 1UP: UT3 PS3 > PC
Post by: Eric P on December 19, 2007, 04:27:19 PM: i was kind of concerned about that. so i should just stick to 2004 or tf2?
Title: Re: 1UP: UT3 PS3 > PC
Post by: demi on December 19, 2007, 04:36:03 PM: TF2 is boring, unless you like "working with a team, and only that"
Title: Re: 1UP: UT3 PS3 > PC
Post by: demi on December 19, 2007, 04:42:12 PM: i had fun with UT2k4 though. console doesn't have anything to do with it. maybe if TF2 had bombing run. maybe in TF3.
