Also, Tim Turi does some horrible reviews, He's pretty horrible at video games.

Can I have some examples? I looked under the reviews tab at the Game Informer page for him and there were none. IDK why. I'd just like a comparison to see if his reviews are "shit" or just "not what everyone else thinks".

I think there's a difference between giving a game a bad score because you're shit at it and complaining about bad level design.

EDIT: Also, reviews aren't news, moving to General Consoles.

He doesnt do a lot of reviews, but when he does he overrates or underrates them.

Re4 HD is full of bugs and he still gave it a 9.5, the game is a solid 7.

That's pretty crazy. Resident Evil 4 a 9.5? Madness. Oh wait, I actually own that game. And...I actually agree with that score. I guess if you personally played the game and ran into bugs, that sucks for you. The only complaints I've seen about RE4:HD come from people who don't know what HD means...

Yeah, I Played RE4 day one on Gamecube, I know what HIGH DEFINITION MEANS.

The port for Xbox 360 is shit, If it was as good as gamecube it would have its 96 on metacritic.

Not to mention that the controls were horrible.

Trust me, look at this guys reviews, and then look them up on Metacritic, he's under avg by 20 points in the high or low, most of the time.

lol...the controls were exactly the same. 6 years ago, the port would have a 96 on metacritic... Gears of War had a 94 on metacritic... I wonder how it will score as a re-release/port in a couple years?

Ocarina of time.

Metal Gear Solid
Twin Snakes was shit compared to MGS 1, point invalid.
Mgs1 94
twin snakes 85

and if you're basing your opinion on the scores you just listed, that's exactly my point. same damn game with updated graphics and scored lower based on what else was available at the time...

If that point doesn't make sense, here's another point:
if you give any weight to "professional" reviews and/or metacritic, you are lacking in the ability to think for yourself. Reviews = someone else's opinion. Try forming some of your own ;)

Its not the same game, they added unneeded features and gave it first person.

Its not the same game, they added some of the well received features from MGS2 and gave it the option of a first person perspective.

sorry, my mistake. you win. fixed your post by the way ;)

These guys just don't know how to review a good game.
Gameinformer, prepare to be raged on.

Coming from the user with a Sonic avatar; completely unbiased, I'm sure.

I do love how, as soon as one reviewer doesn't like a game with a shit ton of hype, they become the critic equivalent of the Anti-Christ. Besides, a Sonic game not reviewing well isn't much of a shocker; where have you been for the past 10 or so years?

Exactly what I was thinking.
Wonder why they won't release this for the Wii, because I doubt it'll sell well on the xbox or ps3

May I ask how many of you who currently posted have played the game? Just curious.

I haven't touched it beyond the demo myself. I'm just wondering if you guys have differing opinions because you played the game and loved the crap out of it or because you just think Sonic Generations is invulnerable to badness.

*Raises hand* I'm finding the game to be quite good. It has a few flaws here, and there (Have to complete challenges, in order to gain access to the area to fight the bosses.), but overall a nice experience. Would I recommend buying the game? No. The story's a bit short, so you could most likely complete it in a day, or two. Not counting if you like to 100% games.

Probably due to Sega not wanting to release it on a non-HD console (*cough* 3DS isn't HD either *cough*). Something I find to be very odd. If High Voltage Software can pull off the kind of graphics they did with The Conduit 2 (despite being an overrated game), surely, other developers could do that as well. The Wii may be the weakest in terms of hardware, but developers are being really half-a**ed about using the GPU's potential.
