Sure Chandoo went overboard with scores in some departments but it doesn't mean he should be hanged for it
Which of my comments made you say this?
I mean, if I review MGS4, Final Fantasy and even RE - I might go overboard myself.
If you do go overboard with those reviews then who will be wrong? You, or the guy telling you that the game is very good but not as good as you are claiming it to be?
I mean......if GTA4 can get 10/10 for graphics by professional reviewers then RE5 is a 10 hell yeah.
That was probably the worst example you could have given. Two wrongs do not make it right. I agree that Resident Evil 5 is better looking game then GTA4. But GTA4 was not that good looking to begin with. I was probably the first person on PG who disagreed with those review scores.
Look at this post by me just after release of GTA4

As much as I like this game, I still feel that it is a bit overrated.
Let's look at what IGN said
Gameplay = 10 , "While GTA doesn't have many issues, I will admit that the cover system is not perfect."
Graphics = 10 , "there are framerate hitches here and there " "there is some texture pop-in" "some noticeable aliasing" "it's not a game that runs perfectly all the time"
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/869/869541p5.html
These guys rated GT5P's graphics as 9.
Gamespot in their video review said "Its not perfect".
Maybe I don't know what 10/10 means
I did not agree with those so called professional reviewers after playing the game. I was criticized for saying that the game is not 10/10 and there are better looking games which have scored less for their graphics.
That said, personally I haven't found ANY game that deserves a 10/10 in graphics so far. There's just no game that is that perfect.
Then why do you criticize me for saying exactly that?
Regarding platform specificness, yes that's important. Otherwise no game on PSP should be scored higher than 6.
So according to the graphical standards, DS games are 1/10, right? lol.
I'm not comparing Resident Evil 5 with Crysis. Resident Evil 5 is also on PS3 and it is not the best looking PS3 game in all departments. It has the best character models, but it does not have environments, animation, physics, explosions, weapon effects and smoke like Killzone 2. Uncharted has better water and environments (specially plantation). Metal Gear Solid is better in some aspects as well.
So I'm not comparing games from different platforms. And upcoming games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 certainly look better. If any game is awarded 10 now then what will you award them? 11?
And before you guys call me a Crysis fanboy again, I do not think even Crysis deserves 10/10 for graphics. It is not better than all other games in all aspects. Some games have better character models, some have better animation, some have better explosions and smoke effects. Overall it is still the best looking game but most definitely not 10/10 when it is not better than all other games in all aspects. For me 10/10 is for something perfect.
RE5 is not 10/10 even by 360's standard. I believe that baby's got more juice in it. I think I'll wait off till FFXIII
Half Life 2 rendered water much better than RE5 did and that game was out even on the original xbox.
Point is, there's no 10/10.
What are you doing? You criticize me for pointing these exact things and then you agree to them.
Read the review, agree on some points, disgree on others, make a comment, LEAVE
That is exactly what I did. Read my first post in this thread. But if your comments are dragged in every other reply and you are criticized by name then what are you supposed to do? I had stopped responding to what Chandoo is saying but what are you guys doing?
i'm still with the review as far as graphics are concerned.
Try to look somewhere other then Excella's ________ and you will start seeing the shortcomings
. Even Chris is not as detailed as Excella :wink2:
These were my comments about this game before this review.

I had a bit of trouble with AI. I really wanted the other character to be human controlled. It's was not about her ineffectiveness as a partner. I had a bit of trouble regarding weapon distribution.
AI is not as good as human players with sniper rifle. Therefore I kept the sniper rifle to myself in almost during the whole game.
Secondly AI selected weapons according to a set pattern. After the handgun its first choice is machine gun, even if it has more than enough shotgun ammo. There were situations where handgun was useless and using it was like wasting bullets, but AI did exactly that and chooses a different weapon only after wasting all the ammo of handgun.
AI refused to use grenade launcher. Even when it had a grenade launcher and it was out of all other sort of ammo it still did not use grenade launcher and kept on running around with an empty gun.

I formed my opinion about this game after playing it. I do not believe in so-called professional reviews as I think your own personal opinion is what matters most. But for people who post review scores as an evidence they should look at metacritic score for this game

@Shyber
Let me tell you how what sort of a fan I am. I ended Resident Evil 1 and 3 more than twice. I ended Resident Evil 2 more than 5 times. I bought Playstation 2 only for playing Resident Evil 4 and ended it three times within a week. I have downloaded more than 4GB of patches/mods for PC version of Resident Evil 4 to make it look better (I have ended it twice as well). I had started playing Metal Gear Solid 4 (finally :$) but haven't played it since I got Resident Evil 5. I have ended Resident Evil 5 twice, have collected all the BSAA medallions to unlock all costumes and have played half the game in co-op as well on X360. But I'm still thinking of buying PS3 version of this game. I will buy all the DLC as soon as they will be available. And I know I will play it more then once when it is released on PC.
But being a fan does not make me blind. I can accept shortcomings of a game and still enjoy it. It does not have to be perfect for me to like it. And liking something does not make it perfect either.
Hopefully you guys can understand what I'm saying :wink2:
