DOA3 Gamespot review: Because I\'m posting this, you know it\'s bad! :D

[GmanJoe]

The only reviews you guys should listen to are mine, dammit!

So shall it be written, so shall it be done.

I personally would be hard pressed to even give the game a 9.0  based on the fact that I don\'t like fighting games.  Now for me to say that this is what the game should rated as is ridiculous.   I respect the fact that you think the game is a rehash but I don\'t think that gamespot\'s word is law. It carries weight of course but not the kind that reduces all review scores from every other site to it\'s own level.

[GmanJoe]

I don\'t take any review as law except reviews from me.

Read DoA 3 review from http://www.videogames.com they have always the best reviews.http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/0,11114,475251,00.html

consider this thread moved to the console debating forum..........

or at least i hope some one dose it.

They say it plays like DOA2 and IMO DOA2 has the worst gameplay of any fighter, so thats not good

I don\'t get it??  Your saying the IGN and Gaming Age reviews are bull crap reviews because it is in opposition of what your perceive or believe?? This review is in concordance with what you want to believe so it automatically becomes the defacto standard?  Very closed minded and narrow in scope.  You need to broaded your horizons.

The Gaming-Age review said that the gameplay was same old same old, yet they still gave it a A rating.  The IGN review didn\'t even mention the gameplay in DOA3 compared to DOA2. :rolleyes:  Docwiz was complaining that the Gamespy review wasn\'t objective enough because it got a score in the 80s.  I was just pointing out to him how stupid it was to claim an objective review is only a review where the game gets great scores.

This is your logic?  You do know that they are several reviews out there that praise this game correct? Only you selectively choose to acknowledge this one and only this one??  Sounds like someone who doesn\'t want to admit that it just might be a good game.

Like I said, IGN and Gaming Age are full of crap.  They are giving out the high score based only on the graphics.  The Gamespy and Gamespot review are judging it more fairly.  This is the same thing with DOA2.  Almost every magazine and webzine gave it a really high score, and even "fighter of the year", because of the graphics.  They completely ignored how shallow the gameplay was.

Just played DOA3 at K Mart, not as good as SSBM. And like everyone, the Gameplay is the same.

7.9.  Docwiz, is this the "objective" review you were looking for, or would you prefer the objective *cought*bull crap*cough* review from IGN or Gaming Age?



Theres more than that, but nothing you haven\'t heard from numerous sources over the past few months.  Good graphics, and, um, good graphics.

Go ahead a read it:

Oh, and by "bad", I mean not as good as the Xbox fanboys are saying it is.

   I just look at the facts.... All of the other non biased sites out there rate all the games differently....  IGN gives it a high score, as does Next generation as does gaming-age as does game informer, etc....

   I just think its interesting that NOT one single xbox game has got a high score from gamespot and they constantly put down xbox all the time.  Biased does come to mind...  The fact that they gave shallow tekken tag team a higher score than any xbox game should kind of put biased in there.

   Remember folks, many people will make up a lot of stuff because they don\'t like Microsoft or because they suck up to Nintendo or Sony but that doesn\'t make it fact.

   The funny thing is that all PS2 games except for a very few should get a lot lower scores, but you won\'t see that from gamespot.

   Its kind of like getting Faston to rate xbox games, you know that blind idiot would give xbox scores of 2.0 or so.

   Its pretty much common sense..... Check out tons of other websites and magazines and find out what they rate it and other xbox games.   I am honestly suprised xbox games don\'t get rated a 5.0 from Gamespot, might as well be called Sony or Nintendospot...

   Xbox is getting some really high marks from NON BIASED magazines.  The problem is that video games are so damn political today it makes me sick.

   Just like Trip hawkins talking smack about the xbox because he gives sony a blowjob.   Yes Trip, I hope you read this message because you really are a dumbass.   Sony won\'t buy 3DO because you have crappy software that they don\'t care about, they just want you to keep on giving them blowjobs and dissing Microsoft.  The only reason why you support Nintendo is because you know they are not in competition with Sony.

Docwiz: In a non related question..... Do you work for Microsoft?

I just think its interesting that NOT one single xbox game has got a high score from gamespot and they constantly put down xbox all the time. Biased does come to mind...

What the Hell are you talking about?  Did you not read the Halo review or at least WATCH their video review of it?  They had absolutely nothing but praise and the framerate issue wasn\'t even a problem with them.  They barely had any faults with the game at all saying that as soon as they got it, they played it for 10 hours straight.  That\'s high praise for any game.  How many games do you get where you just sit down and lose 10 hours?

Now, in case there are any more doubts, all three consoles will have great games this Holiday season.  Harping on how a game can be better is pointless especially when it comes to something as trivial as graphics and I am referring to your comments about MGS2.  I\'m glad you made the concession that the game really is great, but to say that the graphics could have been better is moot.  Enjoy the game for what it is.  A person who harps on how things could be better is never satisfied and to do so would be counter-productive to posting anywhere since nothing can ever be too good.

Unless of course, in your case, it\'s the same exact game, same exact graphics, same everything, just carrying a big fat green X in the middle.

Where\'s AlteredBeast when you need him... DOuble standards are his forte.

Ryu I totaly agree with your comments. I personally like "Enjoy the game for what it is", a true pearl of wisdom. It\'s just so ironic that in this thread, almost everyone is dissing DOA3 for what it isn\'t.

DOA3 creator says "this is the greatest fighter ever created" and I disagree with that.  Obviously, I am going to have issues with the game and the obvious criticism being that DOA2 is not the greatest fighter in the world.. so how can anyone expect DOA3 to be?

yeah Ryu ......like you I don\'t usually read too much into what developers say about their own games.

and after all isn\'t it down to the induvidual gamer to decide if its hot or not

personally i think the whole Dead or Alive series sucks the big one

for me its the "greatest button basher/masher ever........"

I always hear people on the internet says Doa2 sucks so I decided to rent it 3 weeks ago (the same week that I got GTA3) to see what it\'s like and to my surprise, I ended up playing 47 hours in one week (I had loads of time after I finished my exam).
The only place that I see people hating this game is the Internet. An friend of mine who was a huge Tekken fan (he always come to my house to play TTT) came over to play DOA2 for the first time last weekend and he thinks it was a very good game, if not better than TTT.
Yesterday I had 4 friends (two PC fanboy, one who only plays CS and the other one who spends 4 hours studying everyday) came to my house and had 4 hours of gaming on my PS2. We spent 5 minutes on TTT, 30 minutes on GT3, 30 minutes on Time Crisis 2 and the rest of the time on Doa2. They all think that Doa2 is a really good game. So really, the only place that I hear people say Doa2 sucks in the internet.

At first I wasn\'t too happy to hear Doa3 is XBox exclusive but now I don\'t really care seeing that the gameplay hasn\'t been changed much from Doa2.
