Harsh review from Games Radar

[brewersfan84]

WOW... I think the reviewer needs to learn a thing or two about this series!

I also found they gave MLB 2K12 a 6, and as you will find the Show got a 7? LOL
I guess this is why I don't trust their reviews anyways, what a joke!!

"It's not that different at all"
Clearly the guy hasn't played MLB 11 in a long time, and played 12 for probably 30 minutes.

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

yeah doesn't even sound like much of a baseball fan. Not sure why people review a game if they have no interest in it at all. Like or it not review ratings are important in this day and age this just seems like poor journalism to me. Not good to hear about lag issues again though hopefully it really is better this year.

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

It seems to me that whatever points the reviewer says that may hold some water, she destroys them with paragraphs that make her look like she's made up her mind even before playing the game. But hey, who really goes by reviews nowadays?

Haven't read it but she gave the Show a "7"??? I generally don't make derogatory statements/nor personal attacts on people on this forum but I need pemission from a Mod to call that reviewer a IDIOT!!

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

It's hard to disagree with her without having played the game myself. Outdated commentary and a buggy online experience are valid complaints though.

I don't usually say anything about reviews, since they are simply one person's opinion but, that was a crap (for a ToS-safe word) review.

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

Harsh, but definitely from someone who doesn't live The Show as we all do. From the casual baseball gamer, what the reviewer says is probably true. They won't notice the new physics or new snippets of commentary.

And, it's the first review that I've read mentioning online play. Not sure how to interpret it however. They say "problematic netcode", but also "Online has been a nagging issues with this game for years, and no amount of PlayStation Move support will fix that" and I have no idea what one has to do with the other.

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

To me it seemed liked a fair and honest review. The negatives are legit gripes, as offline franchises have been largely ignored lately and pulse pitching is either a love it or hit type of feature. Also, online lag doesn't sound promising either and frustrating considering online play is as big as ever. The positives were hit spot on apparently as I've heard alot of people bragging about the ball physics and presentation. That said, a 7 rating may be a bit hard, the game most likely deserves at least an 8. It's hard for developers of already great games to get much better once they've reached a certain point, so I can see the frustration from both sides.

Re: Harsh review from Games Radar

I'm with Bahnzo but I actually think the review is of poor quality, because the writer doesn't really seem to know much about or has spent a lot of time with the games of this franchise but writes as if she knows what it really means for this game to improve at this point (i.e., not much room left in certain areas, given the current limitations).

If anything, she shouldn't have pretended, and just write a review for very casual gamers for whom this years game will be their first in the franchise. She spends hardly any time on Move at all, and just mention Vita... In the end the review ended up being something that helps neither the veterans nor novices of the Show IMO.
