Since you all love reviews so much ... here's one for you ...  

http://reviewgamers.com/gamereviews/blade-soul-game-review/

Just goes to show you, for every "5/10 Review," and every "Review in Progress" that you find out there, there is always a 4.5/5 not too far away.

Enjoy!

    Yes, its rated on a 5 point scale instead of a 10 point scale.  

    Basically translates to 9/10.

    Ok, maybe I misread your post, I thought you put "4.5 out of 10" in your last line.

    Not that im belittling the site but they did rate cooking mama 2 as a 4 outta 5 :) and their most reviewed game has a total of just over 600 views (all time) So i woudn't really read to much into their 4.5/5

    However, as a side note, im playing it, and paid the £4 to get the weeks premium membership to just help queue priority on day of release, ive enjoyed the game that much that yesterday i jumped into a 90 day premium membership. 
    Yes it has its problem, but i do enjoy the combat and at level 35ish ive not got close to getting bored of it yet, also given the nuking of the gold-sellers today life in chat is actually a lot better.

    This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

    Lot of ooh's and aah's for me with the story as I got around 40. Plus I like collecting costumes and I thought I was too old for pvp but I just needed to get into it and get comfortable again, so I'm enjoying myself there too.

    The game has the depth of a puddle but I enjoy it for what it is. I'm beyond pessimistic about games with a massive scope being promised these days anyway.

    That crafting system though. BLECH!

    A review is a single persons opinion, which is often colored in many ways.

    The only time a review is worth anything at all is if you know the reviewer and respect his opinion.  This is a nothing site hungry for advertising and the favor of a big company.

    How come I didn't see you post the this same excuse for the other reviews posted in this forum.  This is one person's review no different than the other reviews that have been posted in this forum.  My only intent with this thread is to counter all of the BnS haters who relish in posting negative reviews on this site knowing full well that reviews are a dime a dozen and vary depending on a persons preferred play style.   

    Here's another 4/5 review from MMO Huts ...

    https://mmohuts.com/game/blade-soul

    I can find loads more if you like.  I can play that game too.  

    Shall I continue?

    Go right ahead. Just makes you look silly with you pulling out the Not playing the game right card on negative reviews. Everyone sees you for what you are.

    Not sure what your point is. Good for you that you like the game and found the split down the middle line where some people like it for what it is and some people do not like it for what it is not. These kinds of posts happen with just about every new game that is released. Go play your game and stop with the back and forth. Internet tug of war has no winners.

    A better question is what is your point.  Go do what you do and leave what I do up to me.  

    How's that sound?

    Is there strong hate for this game? I didn't see that? I saw people post it was not for them but nothing more. It is just a game. There are plenty of others if they do not like it. I am not a fan. I like to craft and explore and am not a fan of action combat in an mmo but I don't hate the game. My country (I am Korean)did well in crafting a game that caters to a certain demographic. Kudos. I am sure the developers are proud to have you as a defender of their title =) Kudos to you as well! Carry on soldier!

    Blueturtle, no one is claiming that there is a strong hate for the game.  Like any other game, it has its supporters and it has its detractors.  I simply created a thread as a means to counter the threads by the game's detractors basking in the light of negative reviews.  Am I allowed to do that or are only those threads showing negative reviews allowed?  That said, I am fully prepared to take the hit from the game's haters for starting this thread just as Bill was by the game's supporters when he posted his "Review in Progress" thread.  My only point is where there is a ying there's a yang.  Maybe now there will be no more of these silly negative review threads popping up anymore because they are meaningless, and amount to nothing more than just another individual's personal point of view.  If this thread accomplishes in doing that, I'm satisfied.  No need for anyone to take it personal.

    As I said, unless it's a reviewer who you trust it's just an opinion of one person and with the industry how it is that's meaningless because money changes opinions in the blink of an eye.

    No.  The point is you can find wildly different reviews on just about any game because different people have different tastes and preferences.  If someone is giving a game you don't like an exceptionally high review it's more likely they just like different things than you do not because they were payed to give it. 

    Paying off an internet celebrity may be worth it but the idea that NCsoft is paying for favorable reviews on sites whose reviews rarely get 500 hits laughable.

    It's not as direct as paying someone off in the way you mention.

    A company like NCsoft or Square is more likely to advertise on your site if you give their game a good review (to a small site this is a HUGE deal), they are more likely to give you  review copy, for free they are more likely to let you review a game before the embargo ends (big deal), they are more likely to fly you out to a fancy castle holiday to "review" their game if they know you play ball.

    Also look at the guy that showed metacritic link above, see those 100/100 perfect scores that push up the average on the game?  notice they are nothing sites that give laughably high scores?  It does not matter if a site gets 50 hits, it matters that that 50 hit site that gives your game a 90 or 100 score pushes up the average on meta.

  • MadFrenchieMadFrenchie Member LegendaryPosts: 8,505
    I'm just gonna wait for Metacritic to average the critic scores.

    It's not looking good, currently, as Metacritic has recorded only two reviews (one for 65 out of 100, the other for 52).

    I think you need to ask yourself what you want in an MMO. If It's intense and intricate Action combat with combos, builds, holds, counters, etc. then Blade and soul is top in that category. If you want crafting, exploration, guild vs guild, roleplay, realism you could find that elsewhere.
