Well yea it seesms that Electronic Gaming gave dirge of cerebus, a TERRIBLE rating! Yup, its terrible they said, the comented on the clunk controls, and how, vincenect hair blows and takes up half the screen..
So....are they right or are they not...
well just have to wait and see.

That's bullcrap,I've seen tons of trailers and it don't,thats just Electronic Gaming whining cause it's a sequel and it's KH battle style.
Sephiroth - August 15, 2006 04:36 PM (GMT)
No way, that can't be...Dirge of Cerebus is one of the most long and awaited games ever...i've seen the trailers, specialy that one that omegacloud showed me, and i can say that the game is going to be awsome and that is goping to deserve 10...i don't know how those guys even dare to say that...

Sonic heroes looked great also....you cant judge something on how it looks.

I am not familiar with this game, but my point still applies, and that is, don't take the word of someone who is playing, and then rating games for a living.. and instead, see for yourself.. and take into consideration that the person rating that game, may not be too fond of that game's genre.. so if you have a person who favors first-person shooters, and he is reviewing an rpg, then more likely than not, that game won't get a fair review.. (possibly due to the lack of experience in the games in that particular genre) if you are not sure about the game, then rent it from block buster, or another place that rents games and play it that way.. this way, you get first hand knowledge about the game and can see for yourself as to whether or not you would want to purchase it..
as bdx said, Sonic Heroes got a bad rating at a lot of review sites.. but that still didn't stop us from buying it.. him for the xbox and me for the game cube.. and we loved that game.. so it is safe to say that you should take anything, any reviewer (whether it is a game, or a book, or a movie) says with a grain of salt.. and see for yourself.. if you like the game, but you aren't sure as to whether or not you want to buy it, then either rent it, or borrow it from someone who has the game.. and play it that way.. this way if you don't like it then you will be glad that you didn't spend money on it, and if you did like it, you can go out and buy it.
Just my two cents. :)

Well I myself haven't played it, but this and KH2 was what made me buy a PS2. So before I buy it, I need to play it like BA said. I usually don't trust reviewers becuase they aren't fair to some games. I also bought Sonic Heroes when everyone was giving it bad reviews and I still play it to this day. (Trying to A-Rank all missions) So like others have said, try it out before you completely skip out on a game. Don't trust reviewers all the time, and you always have the option of renting it.

YOU ARE SOOOOOO WRONG BDX dirge of cerberus terrible rating was DUE to the japanese version jap version SUCKSSSS
allthough no one got the NA version cept me ^_^ the NA version is released tommorrow like how the hell did they review it...
not everything was fixed but the game is still good...if your a fan of vincent you can play it although if not you can play to get get hints on FF7-2 dont tell anyone i said that *hides* but DoC is not a bad game the NA version rocks a good remake way better than the jap and has some good RPG shooter elements in it...i dont like reading gaming magazines like that the only gaming magazines i read is japans famitsu cuase they rate fair and square ...getting DoC a bad rating means jap the NA is way better and a good remake and very fun to play ^_^
EDIT also dont listen what other people say play it and find out...and its not first person shooter its a 3rd person shooter
Sephiroth - August 16, 2006 12:07 AM (GMT)
I wonder if he can transform himself?...
VirusZero - August 16, 2006 12:17 AM (GMT)
so does this play alot like the Devil May Cry series? or is it a combination RPG with 3rd person and shooter elements?
and as far as i care, if i want a game and the reviewers say it sucks well then i might take a little more caution and wait til later to get it (say if the price drops a bit or buy it used.) But if i want a game bad enough i say "@$%^ the reviewers, i'm getting this game anyway."
Dark Mage - August 16, 2006 01:27 AM (GMT)
Yeah,Vincent turns into Chaos still,won't say when,won't say how I know.
Sephiroth - August 16, 2006 01:32 AM (GMT)
that's great...better...awsome... now i really don't care about critics...i must have that game...
VirusZero - August 16, 2006 01:49 AM (GMT)
you know, if this game takes place before FF7, is there a chance we might meet up with some of the crew of ff7 but when they're younger? (maybe glimpse a young cloud and tifa from cloud's memories?) or eet up with Sephiroth when he first started moving up the ranks at shinra?
Sephiroth - August 16, 2006 01:53 AM (GMT)
Cloud and tifa...i don't think so...but there is a slim probability that he might meet with sephiroth, because of lucrecia...
Dictator - August 16, 2006 02:44 AM (GMT)
Trust Cloud on this subject he's been rambling to me about this game forever.
Sephiroth - August 16, 2006 02:49 AM (GMT)
Anyways...we just have wait and see...just like BDX said...
Dictator - August 16, 2006 10:23 AM (GMT)
I still trust Cloud on this one. Judging by him it's a good game. EG must be morons because I've seen some of this game for myself and I say it looks good and not like the POS they make it out to be.
BlackCloudX - August 16, 2006 10:40 AM (GMT)
yes vincent can transform
yes its like a devil may cry with rpg element but has some jak 3 stuff like more guns
no the NA version aint bad
the game only lasts how long the easy mode in KH2 probably 20+hours unless you skip the cutscenes while hard mode will be like KH2 unless you skip the cutscenes
Sephiroth - August 16, 2006 02:21 PM (GMT)
I guess that clears it up...
Dictator - August 16, 2006 08:34 PM (GMT)
You could also say it's like Tenchu with the RPG element, just Tench with guns I guess.
BlackDevilX - August 17, 2006 05:58 AM (GMT)
I dunno cloud, you say that cuz u work for them, well see.
BlackRyuX - August 17, 2006 06:34 PM (GMT)
I was kinda expecting this. Kinda like Shadow the Hedgehog...I liked the game but everyone else....ouch.
BlackCloudX - August 17, 2006 08:11 PM (GMT)
no its not becuase i work for them i do love this game and its not like shadow the hedgehog...shadow is a hedgehog...they added guns to him vincent is a human hes been using guns -__-... anywho its been released eastern shores should be getting it later this week or next or allready released for some
BlackDevilX - August 18, 2006 05:01 AM (GMT)
hmmm, well see how it is. Shadow the hedgehog was an allright game, just...toooo reptitive. if you play this game for the first time then yea its good. And the ending...the last way....was retardedly rushed
Dark Mage - August 18, 2006 05:31 AM (GMT)
Dictator - August 18, 2006 09:56 AM (GMT)
Shadow the Hedgehog itself was retardedly rushed. I almost died playing through every ending just to play the final one which wasn't very great, like Sonic Heroes. The developers of both games should be fired or have their positions with the janitor's switched!
Sephiroth - August 19, 2006 12:52 AM (GMT)
Haha, i haven't played shadow the hedgehog yet, but from what i can tell from sonic heroes...well they all did a big ruckus about the game and when it came out...well you guys know...
Dictator - August 19, 2006 10:42 AM (GMT)
Sonic Heroes was a bigger PoS... Oh well, it's not my fault SEGA of America can't succefully create a good Sonic game without all the fans bashing them.
BlackDevilX - August 21, 2006 05:17 AM (GMT)
So dirge of cerebus came out today....I will buy the game and i will be back in a week, to tell you how it is..
Dark Mage - August 21, 2006 06:38 AM (GMT)
BlackCloudX - August 21, 2006 08:52 PM (GMT)
...
you know bdx...you can rent it and test it out
cuase if it sucks and you dont like it you just wasted $48 unless you sell it at EB game lol
you dont got to be back in a week -_- you can beat the game in 2 days its about the lenth of jak 3 or kingdom hearts 2 depending on the mode you play
and no dirge of cerberus didnt come out today...came out last week or aug 15...
btw if you dont like the controlls and cant get used to it...you can use a USB keyboard and USB mouse to play it like a FPS on a computer...
enjoy! ^_^
BlackDevilX - September 26, 2007 10:15 AM (GMT)
