ouch for heroes of ruin

[Spaghetti9001]

Heroes of Ruin score looks way too low.

[bonesawisready]

Yea, HoR is disheartening.

[The_King_Up_North]

Not surprised at Heroes of Ruin's score. It looked like a generic iPhone RPG priced above what it was worth. Besides, randomly generated dungeons is so 1980s.

[sundin13]

im not really one to trust a source ive never heard of...but those scores are low

[Autosaver]

Heroes of Ruin 3/5 score still means the game is good.

[Alleyway]

Heroes of Ruins is for those poor chaps that only buy Nintendo. Crappy generic game is both crappy and generic.

[LegendofSantiago]

@Autosaver 3/5 is decent, not good

[nGen]

What's Consoles+? Why should I care about a score if I don't know why it was scored that way? Who the hell scores a game out of 20?

[toadster101]

No, the game looks mediocre at best. Only desperate Nintendo fans would even consider hyping it up.

[eyezofnight]

I usually take an average score to make buying decisions. Of course Hero's of Ruin did get delayed and that's not a good sign. I have faith in N-Space though.

@nGen IGN do for one. Reasons why Heroes of Ruin scored low? Judging by everything I've seen so far, it's ugly character design, beyond-bland presentation, and crap frame rate.

[Whatever]

@mintgreen

Pretty much this. I was really hoping the game would turn out great, but it never seemed to come close to that.

IGN scores out of 20? Huh, then I guess that 10 for Skyward Sword was really mediocre.

Don't get smart, they score on a 20-point scale, from 0.5 up to 10.0.

Anything higher than a 5/10 is "good" in my book.

Technically, they score from 0.0 (Work it) up to a 10. But if that's a 20-point scale, then what is Spirit Tracks score? They gave it a 9.3, which would be an 18.6 on a 20 point scale. Hell, why not just argue that IGN scores on a 100 point scale.

Spirit Tracks got a 9.3 because back in those days, they scored on a 100-point scale. In conclusion, scoring on a 20-point scale doesn't invalidate their review, and nor does the fact that you've never heard of them.

Game has a 6/10 written all over it - I don't care about the level of content, if the game experience is no good then I'm neither gonna want to play it every day for a year, nor with 3 friends over voice chat.


On a side note, no way did Spirit Tracks deserve 9.3, the DS Zelda games were abominations, 5/10 tops.

Please direct me to the Vita alternative that is better. I want a good handheld dungeon crawler.

@nGen

wow you are such an uninformed ignorant fool.

IGN used to score games on a 100 point scale from 0 to 10 in increments of 0.1 but then they changed it to a 20 point scale in increments of 0.5, gamespot and destructoid do this as well and it's not much different to just having increments of 1 on a scale that goes from 0-20.

It's the same story all the time here.
Not very well known magazine gives a hyped up game a high score: Yes! Can't wait to play it.
Not very well known magazine gives a hyped up game a low/mediocre score: RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE! Why the f should I listen to these nobodies, the review is so clearly wrong even though I've never even played the game.

@mintgreen
Both ds zeldas were ridiculously overrated. Phantom hourglass just had too many flaws and I personally wouldn't score it higher than a 6 because aside from those flaws it was a decent game. spirit tracks fixed most of those flaws but was never really anything remarkable and I personally wouldn't give that any higher than a 7.5

@Alleyway

Tell me, are you a troll, retarded, or both?

Have you played it?
