For comparison, they gave Lair a 7.25 and 8.
is this really a surprise to anyone?

I"ll give Eidos the benefit of the doubt. The last 2 Tomb Raiders were pretty good and the next one looks to be even better.
Bionic Commando Rearmed is being done by old Bionic Commando fans, and that turned amazing.
- No health regeneration for any characters except Bio Engineer, except through health orbs that are used on contact thus causing all characters playing alone besides a Bio to die A LOT which leads to..
- Lengthy death sequence, with no way to skip.
- Poorly designed boss fights. He doesn't go into detail, just says the bosses have a large amount of hitpoints and seem like parodies.
- Game feels designed for co-op, but story elements are completely removed for it. Although, he calls it a blessing because...
- Bad story. Bad cut-scenes that are poorly animated. Supposedly the story gets worse and worse as the game progresses.
Bottom line of the review:
If you enjoy leveling and looting, then it's worth a look. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.
The second opinion guy is a little nicer, but still comes up with the same bottom line.
Here are some pros it gives also...
- Good sound, decent voicework
- Great customization options, very deep. Lots of loot to collect and customize.
- Great graphical affects and character models (Environments and animation is negatively viewed)
I guess Crystal Dynamics isn't all that bad. Good enough for Batman, though?
I THOUGHT EA WAS MAKING BATMAN?
Not to be a downer, but is there a good reason to be excited about a Batman game, given every other god forsaken Batman game that has ever been made? And no, I don't consider Pandemic to be particularly good at much of anything.
This (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12355236&postcount=57) is one seriously nutless post. Oh I didn't want to say anything before, but you know, now that a professional game critic has said what's what, I'll chime in and say "against."
I like Tanod, but give me a break.
The new approach among Xtards is mildly humorous. "Who cares about how good it is? It will rock the NPD!"Xtards are the new ntards? ???

What the fuck is your problem?
MGS4 fell of the charts too quickly?
Can somebody explain in a few words, why this game and Denis Dyack get this overaboundance of flak just around everywhere? Seems i missed the info what the hive mind is up to lately.
Seriously, how many of the haters have actually played the game? 7 sounds just about right for it. It's not a 3.I dunno, a 7 on GI's scale is a 5 anywhere else. They freely admit 7 is average on their scale.

2) eternal darkness is one of the most awful, overrated games ever made:wag

edit2: What's all this talk about Eidos and BAtman? EA has the license and Pandemic was working on it.
As it stands, nobody has commented officially on the specifics of the next Batman game. Hell, nobody has officially acknowledged that the game even exists. That doesn't mean we can't hear about it unofficially, however. So, courtesy of someone who's already played the game, let's look over the first details on what you can expect from it, and how it's shaping up.
Firstly, our source confirms Pandemic as the developers behind the title, though we pretty much knew that already. Secondly, a good portion of the game is set in a GTA-style rendition of Gotham City, which plays a lot like Spiderman 2 as Batman zips around (he even gets a grappling hook for swingy-swingy when not using the Batmobile) attending to crimes. And thirdly? As was first raised last week, it's not in the best shape, perhaps explaining why the project has been kept in the *ahem* dark for so long.
Seems the combat just doesn't work. Partly due to the game's wonky free-roaming camera system, partly due to the mashy hand-to-hand combat, partly due to the limited range of moves Batman has at his disposal, which makes the whole thing awfully repetitive. Which is a bit of a shame, though realistically, with no official announcement, let alone release date, there's plenty of time to fix that kind of stuff. On a brighter note, another source tells us Pandemic have taken a few creative liberties with the game, and while it's based on The Dark Knight, the game's actually set after the events of the movie, which should at least be interesting from a story-telling perspective.
Actually, it's just that there are a bunch of manchildren who have chosen to do nothing better with their time. People get riled up about the dumbest things.

I really think the game is subpar based on the demo. I'd score that demo a 4 or a 5. It was a struggle to finish it.

dc online is about a year away, tards
If you're an idiot.
I guess a 7 is now a bad score.

:wtf That was the picture posted in the original story, you twit. I re-hosted it because the original host sucked ass.
If you're an idiot.
Or if you're a GameInformer reviewer. Same thing?
:rofl
THAT is DC Online?
Paging dfyb, paging dfyb!
the flying animation is no worse than the animation in any other MMO. WoW mounts are the same, city of heroes was the same.
i got my superhero mmo fix from CoH and don't have any desire to return.
They actually explicitly state that 7 is average though.
So 6.75 IS a bad score.
Great graphical affects and character models

Back in 1987, Last Ninja for the C64 got a 7.0 in my favourite gamesmag.
Unbelievable if you look back now.

You played C64 games?
You're cool in my book.
The concept was actually kind of stupid. Cyber-norse? shat
the setting is moronic, but diablo+dmc is a good idea waiting for a competent developer. or just a developer somewhat less incompetent than sk
Haterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs destroyed
Dyack is back
This game could get 8s-9s across the board and you'd still spin it.
+ Really captures the epic essence of Norse mythology with an epic storyline and epic characters
- Thor doesn't look anything like in the comics
Space Siege is out peeps. Get it instead.

Buy one and tell me it's good then :P
Only a few more days! :D :D :D
Toys-R-Us has buy one 360 game, get one 50% off next week. I might have to bite on this game.
Maybe you shouldn't worry about what he's buying... cry moar?
Review embargo until the 19th? What the hell is up with that?
Additionally, Dyack thinks that there are a bunch of really cool things about his game. What a haven.
Mojonovio, unlock that thread, damn it. We ain't finished yet. :punch
fine.
unlocked.
