What the fuck is up with that MK11 score?

 

[Deleted member 5535]

ouch with that mk11

 

[Danielsan]

What the fuck at giving MK11 a 5.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

nice score for steamworld quest, i have to start playing the steamworld games one of these days.

 

[Snarfington]

I'm guessing MK11 score is a statement about the microtransactional stuff.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Yay at SteamWorld Quest, it is another great game for I&F !

 

[Kyuuji]

Oof at the MK11 score, this will be a fun thread.

 

[Onix555]

Absolute ignition, roasts all around.

 

[Dwebble]

Very interested to read their MK11 stuff. Guessing they go hard for the Krypt.

 

[SmashN'Grab]

SteamWorld is one hell of a franchise.

 

[Deleted member 8791]

EDGE delivers.

I felt Katana Zero would be an 8 though.

Happy for Steamworld Quest!

 

[No Depth]

I kind of agree with the MK11 score.

Game is gorgeous, and story mode was neat, but I loathe playing it. Progression was anything but a joy, and I cannot stand the dial-in style of combat.

 

[Nightengale]

Hmm, I feel like Amy Hennig has been doing these interview thing quite a bit in the past few months.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Days Gone 5
World War Z 6

That's not gonna go well.

 

[Hydeus]

Days Gone - 5
Wow.

 

[MavFan619]

Only disagreement is MK11 and Days Gone aren't equal. Days Gone was better. Have a nice week everyone.

 

[Shadoken]

They use the whole scale , So a 5 is like most other sites giving a 7.

 

[Memento]

5 for Days Gone?...
And yet 6 for WWZ?.......

Ok...

 

[Khanimus]

Hot damn for Steamworld

I too am glad a new Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is going to be announced at E3.

 

[CanisMajoris]

Edge continues to be edgy.

MK11 barely has microtransactions. Even Jim Sterling - the famous MT crusader - admitted he was wrong for flogging the game for it.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Edge pulling no punches after last month's high scores.

 

[benzopil]

No lies detected, played almost all of these games.

 

[terminaljeremy]

Your monthly reminder that if you really want to know what the fuck is up with that score then the written review is guaranteed to contain a whole load of very good arguments for whatever the score is, and maybe you should read it.

 

[Deleted member 37917]

Katana zero is indeed a 7, but free dlc could very well bump it to 8 if not 9. It's just too short in its current form.

 

[RTX ON]

Oh Edge....sigh.

 

[Raijinto]

Days Gone isn't a surprise considering the preview of it they gave and the final product which doesn't really change from a lot of what they said in said preview. Would be beneficial to hear what version they played albeit performance issues persist to this day so far as that is concerned it might be academic.

Fingers crossed this thread isn't stupidly locked like the EDGE GoW one was.

 

[Couscous]

They're going to make loads of people angry with these scores. I didn't play the game so I won't judge.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

edge scores for past steamworld games:

SteamWorld Heist - 8
SteamWorld Dig 2 - 8

 

[Expy]

Edge is just like the clown at the house party.

Also you can just download the Edge app on your phone and buy the single issue. It's incredible easy and there is no reason not to read a review if you want to have an opinion on the score.

Click to shrink...

I feel like the short campaign and cliffhanger/obvious tease probably cost it a point.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Yeah, it would be nice if people actually read the reviews instead of just bitching about the scores. It's super easy to grab a digital copy.

 

[Soul Lab]

Steamworld Quest!
Great game. just finished it yesterday.
I'd like to see a sequel one day

 

[Pixieking]

Good to see One Finger Death Punch 2 get an 8. Not got it yet (on my wishlist), but I'm sure the devs are well-pleased they got an Edge 8, and it'll give the game some more visibility.

 

[Indelible]

Only played Katana Zero of those and I think a 7 is fair, good first effort but I feel a sequel could improve a lot.

 

[germuso]

Clickbait scores as usually.

EDGE continues being the best

Do you know what Clickbait means?

 

[Deleted member 11214]

Nearly every month a game receives a good score and someone is like, "I've never even heard of this," and I'm like, "Really? What rock are you living under?"

I had never seen nor heard of Islanders before this review. And judging by the Steam reviews and Metacritic, neither have most other people. Been a long time since I discovered a game based on a review in a magazine!

Hard to click on a magazine.

Pick up Bait then 😡

Guys they're Edgy, don't worry about their scores.

 

[Seganomics]

Edge bringing the harsh truth

 

[CrazyAndy]

I don't know what I expected. Days Gone and MK11 a 5? I can't take them seriously anymore.

 

[TheGummyBear]

Hard to click on a magazine.

Click to shrink...

I keep clicking on last month's issue but it isn't doing anything.

I think it might be a 504 Error. :(

So they deliberately give certain games low scores so I angrily... buy their magazines to give them money?

Eh?
