Wow...... THOR-get about it.... Now that what I call a low blow....

sobekflakmonkey5097d ago

well first off, that scale on Push-Start is wack,

Gameplay=
Graphics=
Longevity=
Sound=
"Multiplayer="

The thing that upsets me the most is the fact that multiplayer is on that scale, not every game NEEDS multiplayer to be good, to be honest way to many devs focus on multiplayer, and it makes me even more angry when games that should NOT have multiplayer get criticized for not having it, or not having a CoD/Battlefield worthy Multiplayer...like no fucking shit? and wouldn't multiplayer fall under gameplay anyways? and also it's sad that a game would lose 5 stars solely because its a single player game, being that it doesnt have a multiplayer to begin with, and that would then diminish its rating.

Yeah, multiplayer is not needed for a game to be great. Just look at MGS4 or Heavy Rain, etc. Good games without multiplayer.

Daniel_Williamson_355096d ago

I totally agree, Multiplayer is not required to make a good game, and there are numerous examples that backs that up. But I beleive that we mention Multiplayer, to review such game modes, we can see how its implemented to the game itself, otherwise we'll simply say it doesnt have it.

Perhaps if there was a way that we could have a "N/A" option in regards to multiplayer, considering that its not an essential feature.

Daniel_Williamson_355096d ago

For those of you that commented on the multiplayer rating of this review, we at push-start have responded by categorising our star-rating, between games with multiplayer and games that don't.

Therefore our reviews will not give the impression of criticizing games that do not have multiplayer, which was never the case in the first place. Now any games that do not have multiplayer (Thor: God of Thunder in this instance) will not have a rating for multiplayer, as it is not applicable to the title.

Thank you to sobekflakmonkey for bringing up the issue.

sobekflakmonkey5096d ago

Your a good man Daniel Williamson.

Just to be clear though, I was not trying to say you were criticizing it for not having multiplayer, I was just stating that a lot of people and gaming sites do in fact criticize games for not having multiplayer, but yeah, thank you for acknowledging my comment.

All in all, it was a good review.

Daniel_Williamson_355096d ago

I know exactly what you meant mate, I know it was not a direct attack. You made a very valid point that I wanted to address with the rest of the team, who adjusted the rating system immediately. So on behalf of everyone else, Thank you :D

Maybe next year with new graphic cards and cpus this games gonna run 60 fps

solidossnakos2475d ago (Edited 2475d ago )

It's not the problem.
The rpcs3 is far from perfect, even with new hardware you can't achieve playable fps.
But with a little time the devteam can optimize it and implement new ways to fix textures, fps, audio...

Clowns in capes: the six worst superhero games of all time

OXM UK: "I've lost count of how many times in the past two years I've come out of a cinema, or watched a game's credits sequence roll, and felt a teensy bit pleased with myself for being a big old nerdy comic book fan. Classic Marvel and DC franchises are on the up worldwide - Batman: Arkham City has topped charts and Metacritic alike, The Walking Dead XBLA is one of the finest videogame stories out there, and The Avengers Assemble is one of the most profitable films of all time.

But with this power comes great responsibility, and a tragic superhero backstory. Fellow comic fans will tell you how often in the past we've had to watch our favourite heroes submit to brutal character assassination by uncaring executives. Case in point: these six superhero stinkers. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's a great big whopping turd."

I actually liked Marvel Nemesis. Had it for PSP, fun stuff on the go.

MisfitsInc4305d ago

me too, i had it on Gamecube, i admit it wasnt that good but it was actually enjoyable. i'm surprised Superman 64 isnt number 1 on the list.
