Straight for the horse mouth, "I already found it difficult to get invested in the characters and the story Stellar Blade is trying to tell when it’s selling itself the way it is."

The writer was already writing it off before playing it. Hence the score. It's so blatant it's hard to ignore. This is the very definition of bias.

The review praises gameplay and sound...so pretty much 80% of the game.

So the writer actually wanted to give an 8/10 but because of the imposed controversy they were forced to give it lower.

You don't give a game, which you confess having tons of fun with, a 6/10

ravens52376d ago

Expected from some reviews unfortunately. We all knew they'd use that to take points.

DOMination-376d ago

Crows90 and Ravens52 haha

Did you just reply to yourself? Because it feels like you just replied to yourself

Tacoboto376d ago

Don't click the review - only advice I can give until the mods delete my comment again for criticizing what is obvious click-bait (with referencing the reviewer's history).

Your quote reinforces that it's click bait.

Crows90376d ago

I mean it's just not a legitimate review. The review the game for what it is not your predispositions based on a imposed controversy. This guy is a very definition of individual that judges books by covers. It's almost like he's a teenage reviewer going through puberty.

Reposting my deleted comment (thanks Mods!):

Here it is!

This is a click-bait review. Can't even read it on a phone unless you get lucky and the banner shows the "Continue" action.

Continuing the drama this game has gone through, Videogamer subverts our expectations by not being immediately forced to the front page, but guarantees discourse and clicks by being tied for the worst-scoring review.

This reviewer, a Guide writer that likes RPGs but only names mobile games... (Comment history ends there)

I went on to say this reviewer consistently gives 6's to hardcore console games. This, Ronin, and Granblue back to back.

Why does N4G feel the need to erase comments calling out low quality websites and reviews?

Luc20376d ago

Can't stand videogamer. Boring and click baity. It'll disappear after a while as it has nothing to value to offer

DOMination-376d ago

All you need to know is videogamer owns N4G.

It's not worth worrying about a review score for a game lol.. there's plenty of other reviews that are very positive about Stellar Blade. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's written by AI...

Tacoboto376d ago

I'm not worried, I'm just increasingly disappointed at the way this site is run, and shoddy questionable reviews like this from its owner are a sign of things to come that are only for the worse.

Especially since they are now both actively deleting criticism and outwardly inviting click-bait as part of their Videogamer identity.

I don't know what this is about. Just FYI, we can't delete comments, only mark as inappropriate/spam.

***shoddy questionable reviews like this from its owner are a sign of things to come that are only for the worse. ***

I think you're putting way too much importance on one person's opinion. Let alone next week you might praise them for doing something with which you agree.

Tacoboto376d ago

This is the comment link in my history:

https://n4g.com/comments/re...

"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

Second time this has happened, both on posts critical of Videogamer.

Christopher376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

@Tacoboto That's a duplicate story that was deleted by the author for being a duplicate story. You're complaining that a community member removed their own submission because this one existed on the home page.

Tacoboto376d ago

My comment redirects to an article ID 2596457
This is article ID 2596469. So I do see that, this post is newer.

So the only thing I believe now is you deleted the original post. How is an older ID the duplicate post...

Is this the same crappy website that makes an article every time someone on social media says helldivers 2 should do this?

Having a skin tight suit and bouncing tits wasn't gonna make this game of the year, and for those of you who thought it would...seek help lol. From day one I knew this game was gonna be average to below average. Its noting but a fan service game.

Asplundh376d ago

You say that like it isn't getting 9's and 10's from most reviewers.

anast376d ago

The writer praised the game but doesn't like beautiful women, so he/she gave it a 6.

Push Square: "JND Studios opened up pre-orders for its Eve and Tachy models, and they sold out in a matter of minutes. It's quite incredible when you learn the prices; the set, including both statues and a drone, costs $3,599, while the Eve model standalone has a price tag of $2,199."

not going to buy this even 10 times cheaper but Tachy statue is a work of art.

MetroidFREAK2115d ago

Man, I wish I had $3600 to blow on a figurine

anast15d ago

If I had that kind of money I would spend it on actual art, not a 3D print.

badz14915d ago

be honest, you just want the figurine to blow you, right? zing!

I'll see myself out

cloganart14d ago

i think they blowing more than just the 3600 on it lol

OhReginald15d ago

Unfortunately I bet most of the buyers were scalpers

anast15d ago

It's plastic, silicon, glass, and fabric. Not to mention it's a 3D print — mechanically reproduced. A sucker is born every minute.

Barneyco15d ago

It's plastic, silicon, glass, and fabric. So it's a Kardashian lol.

Michiel198915d ago
