Edge 259

[Lebowski]

GTA 5 - 10
Disney infinity - 7
Puppeteer - 7
Outlast - 9
Killzone mercs - 6
Final fantasy XIV - 6
Amnesia a machine for pigs - 7
868 hack - 8
Shelter - 7
Dragons crown - 6

Not pleased with the killzone score, they complain about the about scope movement speed when you can up the speed as stated on here, he also says he can't see the enemy's as there too small, something I've not seen any other reviewer complain about, my tips for edge is hire a reviewer who knows how to change options, and isn't blind as a bat.

Or played it for more than twenty minutes is more likely the case.

Dont stop playing FFXIV just because edge gave it a low score to be serious they have always hated rpg's so its about right for them score wise.

looked up that 868 hack but its a fiver on ios and I've been burnt with their ios game reviews before, i seem to remember some game that had all the fun of playing with a stop watch getting a 9 from them.

Drop 7? They upgraded that to a 10 last issue.

I feel so sorry for the KZ devs. The delivered exactly what I wanted, and the replayability has been imense, I travel a lot & KZ has been played for at least 15+ hours so far and I am LOVING IT! I respect the reviewer for his opinion, but what saddens me is that it seems my tastes and wishes are not in line with many of the core gaming press. The publishers will look towards mobile gaming experiences instead of downscaling console games for VIta, and that was my desire. Mobile Killzone, not "Cut the rope."

If any KZ devs read these boards, thanks for your hard work & hope you do a follow up!

PS, the non-linear level design of KZM has actually made it my fave game in the series.

Don't worry, look at last month.

6/10 is the new 10/10.

(Sony build required handheld system, dev makes game)

Magazines:

"this is ****, it's just like what we can play at home, waaaah, waaaah, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

Wankers.

I would have loved to see what they put about it and how long they put into it when they came up with that score, instead i'm going to put the money towards another month of sub and put the time into playing it some more.

To be fair Drop 7 is digital crack.

To be fair, my concern isnt' if Edge's review score is correct or not, it's that when I personally enjoy a game like KZM so much, and then in many of the mainstream press the same comments are made: "Controls not as good as Dual Shock, Can't see the Tangos in the distance, Mobile gaming shouldn't be about console gaming" then I feel sad.

I am a dinosaur in gaming, I know that & I accept it. I started on the ZX81 and have had most 8 Bit an onwards computers and console since then. There have been many changes in the industry and hobby and I have always tried to be objective and open minded towards these changes. It seems that when it comes to mobile gaming I have not been able to follow the same trend and media direction. I LOVE mobile gaming, having kids and limited time I find a quick 30 minutes on my PS vita is a great way to game. Likewise on intercontinental flights (1 a month) I get a good amount of mobile gaming done. My dream has always been to replicate the home games on my mobile.

KZM is a milestone and incredible achievement in my opinion. The games press seem intent on reviewing it as a "PS3 game" rather than as a "Mobile getting closer to Console" game. i.e. If you had R-Type on ZX Spectrum you give it 6/10 because it's not close to the arcade, rather than my view : 9/10 as it does such a fine job of simulating the arcade experience.

That is where I feel my tastes and views are apart from the mainstream. That is why I resign myself to the reality that I am unable to roll with this change. I HATE touch games as anything apart from a filler. I want a console experience in my hands.

For the next 7 years there is one light in the tunnel: Remote play on PS Vita (I have a 60-100Mbit connection "Up") that might work. But for offline mobile gaming I am resigned to the fact that KZM might just be the peak of excellence - never to be beaten.

This my friends, makes me a sad old fossil in the murkey backwater of core gamers.

So true. An alternative scenario:

Nintendo:

"No you don't. You think you do, but you really don't."
Doesn't make what was asked for; prints money.

Fully agree with you capcom_suicide.

Especially this:

The games press seem intent on reviewing it as a "PS3 game" rather than as a "Mobile getting closer to Console" game.

Like, what do Vita devs have to do to get some praise?

I should have said Edge subscription, not cancelling FFXIV I've not even started paying for it yet

I don't understand how it has anything to do with Nintendo?
