Hi Everyone,
When everything in this world is being standardised why are PC Game Review's not standardised?.I mean why is there no set format for a review??Most of the generes that had to be found out and presented in PC game format have already been done.
Whenever I read bad reviews of my fav games I cant help wondering what was wrong with the guy who wrote the review.I do agree that different people have different choices.But that is exactly the point.Maybe that guy had a choice very different from mine.But then how am I to know about this?
What I think ,is that, before writing ANY review on any site the reviewer should be asked to write down the names of 3-5 of his personal fav games from all possible generes(that he plays).When the review goes on for around 20 lines 4-5 more lines should not be a big deal.ONLY after this should the review begin.
So instead of reading the entire review and then getting confused(because of conflicting reviews for the same game from different people) one could just glance thru the fav list of the reviewer and then decide if the choice of the person matches to his own.
Thus we could zero in on the review's writen by people who have more or less the same liking as ours.
This would ultimately not only help all those who buy games AFTER reading the reviews(rather than buy the game based on HYPE!!)but also the developers who glance thru the reviews(I hope so!!),so that they can make the necessary changes in say part 2 of a particular game.(I dont think that the developers can possibly go thru all the reviews.But a proper catloging would be a BIG help to them).
Granted that this may not be the best way to tackle this problem,but anyway this is my suggestion.Can any suggest any better?
P.S-->This point struck me when I read an extremly biting review of "No One Lives Forever".I dont remember the site nor the reviewer.
The same site also wrote that NOLF-2 is FAR better than the original NOLF!!!!GOD.Either I have a VERY BAD choice or there is something teribly wrong with the world.
(By the way I am the biggest living fan of NOLF(original) if u havnt guessed!!.And also think that NOLF-2 chopped off everything that was good about NOLF and is therefore the WORST sequel to one of the best PC games of all times.)
