EDGE magazine #333 review scores (Days Gone, Mortal Kombat 11, World War Z and more)
- Thread starter Deleted member 10737

It's a play on the idea of executions being both a manner of killing someone (and prevalent in the game) and the manner in which something is implemented. It's a wordplay segue.
You want to know why the conclusion is baffling? It's because the conclusion is literally all you read.
Look, I'm not saying that you have to agree with their stance. However, you're never going to get the entire story from the conclusion. Those are written with the expectation that the reader has already read the main text.

You jumped to the reason being a platform exclusive? What about MK's score?
Is that not being put into question too?
I think if you're so adamant about this, then you should subscribe, scan the magazine and show us the reviews.
I mean... So? It's one person's opinion. It doesn't have to match your own, nor is it the gospel.
People complaining earlier in the week about why does the UK get a sales thread every week. A British magazine simultaneously being the only opinion worth agreeing with/not worth listening to. Points taken off an already piss poor score in the Eurovision.
Confusing time being a Brit lately!

It's rather sad you're only saying this because a game you like got a lower score then you anticapted.

Well... I don't know anything about you, so is it alright if I disregard your opinion?
It's a joke. Some "fans" were upset with MK11 for not showing enough skin.
I expect the complaints in EDGE are regarding the progression/unlocking system, which is a massive grind. I would argue that the rest is good enough to warrant a noteably higher score, but to each their own.
Days Gone is the best game I've played this year - would love to live in the world where it gets 5/10.
Buy a digital copy and copy and paste?
Though that will be hard if people don't want to give them money.
This is exactly the kind of Youtube comment rhetoric I was talking about earlier. The base dismissal of entire swathes of people simply because of a pre-conceived notion of who you believe them to be.
If fighting games wish to present themselves to an audience outside of a certain niche then they open them up to opinions from people who don't automatically think a game can rely on it's fighting system whilst having poor everything else. And, really, most people don't play fighting games for the nuances of their 'fighting systems'. I know I didn't buy MK11 for that (I've yet to really get into it but so far the tutorial is amazing).

Hey guys, fairly recent Edge subscriber here ✋. I can talk from experience and say Edge is a great magazine full of quality writing and, dare I say, opinions. Sorry if that sometimes applies to your fighting game.
Damn, more edge than an Edge Magazine review of Mortal Kombat 11.
Ah I see.
As much as I dislike the game due to Ronda Rousey or the greedy elements in the game, I am glad this is the one thing that destroyed their narrative. The character designs for the female characters are the best in the series.
You should really, really stop encouraging people to break the rules and screw these people out of their income dude. They deserve their money regardless of what you think I'm afraid, you're only embarrassing yourself here.
To be fair, far more people seem upset by the Days Gone score than MK11.
"Lack if content" rarely factors into an EDGE score, which is how a game like ARMS received a 9. Incessant grinding for content can sometimes ding a game's score though.
I'd reccomend reading the edge review threads for detroit and god of war
The definition of a persecution complex

And I would probably be a little bummed at first too considering I have a tiny bit of interest in the game and I'm rooting for Sony Bend, but at the end of the day it is just one magazine's review.
What sets me off is when the points being made in the review are disingenuous.

Copy pasting one review is hardly "screwing people out of their income", and the argument here seems to be that you must be a subscriber to adequately criticize their reviews which is baffling.
lol, not even gonna bother explaining why what you're asking is ridiculous. You're just using the fact that this magazine is paid to deflect criticism, not like if it was free would make any difference, this thread would look exactly the same and so would your posts.
Not even gonna bother answering you anymore, if you're going to act like that.

Looked through your post history. This game is by no means a masterpiece, but basically no professional or player review has come to this conclusion.
Not even the EDGE review. 5 isn't that low for them. I don't even have to read their review to know you're spouting hateful fanboyish hyperbole. Did Days Gone (and other Sony games) kill your family?
It's also obvious you didn't play the games you're crapping on.
You can buy issues individually.
Like watching a film or playing a game you have to suck it up, pay an entry fee and watch/play/read the damn thing before adequately criticising it.
That's like, your opinion, you know? Accusing someone has a different opinions just "to be controversial" is pretty shitty. (I do like the game too though lol)

there's a free 30 day trial on their ios app, you can cancell auto renewal to not get charged after.
I disagree with the premise that only "this outlet is not credible because a score is lower than I'd want it to be" type responses are possible.
Quiet we need to keep whatever relevance we have left going forward.
For the record, this used to be the breakdown for their scores (they don't provide it anymore)
1 – disastrous
2 – appalling
3 – severely flawed
4 – disappointing
5 – average
6 – competent
7 – distinguished
8 – excellent
9 – astounding
10 – revolutionary
