Well, we are getting bombarded by LBP2 reviews all day today, from major websites such as IGN, 1up, etc. Overall the review scores are great, but what struck me as funny is that half of these websites can't even get the games name right.
Is this the direction Gaming journalism is headed? Where we cant even fact check our titles? What happened to quality control? If the New York Times spelled the title of a movie wrong, there would be hell to pay.
A website as huge as 1up spelled the name wrong, does that make them a bad source? It could invalidate their review. If they can't even get the title right, can we really trust them to get the score right? What if they put the wrong letter for their score? Did they really play the game?
It may be nitpicking, but thats what reviewers are supposed to do, nitpick everything. Get the name right people, you just played the damn game for hours (we hope), can't you at least fact check your reviews?
Gaming journalism is going downhill, and this is a prime example of it. Lets get this straight, its LittleBigPlanet 2, Not Little Big Planet 2, if you cant see the difference, there are no spaces in LittleBigPlanet.
Craving the ultimate gaming display? The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 offers stunning visuals, top-tier specs, & a sweet discount.
Do you like subsistence farming, infant mortality and dying of exposure? Do you fear bandits and the possibility that Squire Kubik will drink all the ale? If so, gird your loins for everyday life in the High Middle Ages because Manor Lords is out in early access and we’re going to party like it's 13
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
You're correct. However, incorrectly-spelled titles is hardly the worst thing going on in the industry right now.
Kind of a dumb thing to write a whole blog about... not sure what crawled up in your panties but this really isn't a big deal unless you're some kind of uber LittleBigPlanet fanboy.
People who call Far Cry "FarCry" still annoy me
I thought it was LBP2...
IncGamers spelt Sackboy "Sack Boy" as well. I wouldn't get so annoyed about just this one point, but it's indicative of an underlying departure from the English language common across the internet.
