EDGE Slammed the latest GOW title with a 7/10, stated that it lacks personality

[Deleted member 19739]

EDGE states that "While its bulk is impressive, it lacks a distinctive personality"

I don't have the review in front of me, but it is available for purchase. I don't understand why EDGE gave the game such a low score. It is certainly one of the few reputable publications to deliver a harsh score on the game. I personally haven't played the game, so I can't comment on whether the game deserves that score. However, the general consensus is that GOW 4 is a return to form for a franchise that has been suffering from repetition and super macho protagonists. The new characters, and gameplay mechanics are fresh of breath air, even if sometimes the game plays it safe. Do you guys agree? And what do you think is next for the Gears series?

Expected.

Don't do this.

Did it deserve its own thread?
Edit: we already have a review thread and some of us have tried to stay away from other opinions and spoilers.

it's just some dude's opinion. don't sweat it bruh
wait gears?

I can see why it looking and being presented exactly like The Last of Us, but they could be more biased towards the older games too.

 

[Phendrift]

Uh, maybe provide a source?

That's not a low score.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

That's bait

I'm getting Botw flashbacks when one "strays" from the rest.

Here we go, people not understanding the meaning of the word "opinion" are going to be really mad about this.

No such thing as objectivity in reviews, guys. You like the game, great. you like it very much, good for you. This person didn't like it as much, move on.

This thread is going to be fun.

This doesn't need it's own thread. Use the review thread.
