Got a better score than HL2. Bwahaha. You suck valve.

BTW: I am getting this for Christmas.

Oh...I see. Didn't grip you like Half-Life 2 did, huh? :p
 
I dun see how it got a 10 for graphics... it's less detailed than Doom3.

Maybe because it doesn't get so repetitive in level design/layout/textures (and gameplay) that it makes you want to claw your own eyes out :)

Looking forward to this one very much \o/
 
True, the graphics are overrated. From the screens it looks great but not up to par with Half-Life 2 or even Doom 3 - which should immediately disqualify it from receiving a 10. A 10 should be rewarded to the game with the best graphics in the genre at the time the review is written, which Riddick clearly is not. A 9 would be fair.

Anyway, I can't wait to play it.
 
Gamestops reviews = retarded. But i really want to get this game.

Uh...you mean GameSpot. Yeah. :p

I agree with you. GameSpot's reviews are complete shite. I always loved IGN's reviews. :)
 
I have it n00bs! :D :D

Well, yeah. It's amazing - just like the xbox one. The FPS Stealth action NEVER gets old!

The guess the hands look low res, because polys and textures on screen also have to be distributed to your body (which you can see in first-person)

Besides, It's $30 only!

BTW it got the same score as the original xbox one.
 
Gamespot's scores are so skewed, especailly in the favor of console games. The main reason Riddick PC got this score was because it was just as good as Riddick XboX and it didn't make sense to give it a significantly lower score.

I'm looking forward to playing the game, but I seriously doubt it's HL2 quality.
 
After reading the review...the review itself was rather stupid. I'm sure the game is great, but the first 1/3 of the review assumed you played the XBOX version, and the rest of hte review seemed at least slightly that way. It didn't say much about the game except stupid stuff like crosshairs.

My opinion of gamespot keeps slipping.

You're right. It's not half life 2 quality. It's actually better. It doesn't sttutttuttterrr. It doesn't load for 5 minutes every 5 minutes.

It looks great and plays great. I think the visuals in this are actually better than Doom 3. I really can't believe how quickly the levels load on this game. Unlike games of late like HL2, Doom3 and Far Cry that have level load times in the minutes, the load times in this are in seconds.

What really blows me away? The characters. They all look better than the Half Life characters. Here's the kicker. You never see the same face twice, unlike HL2 where you see the same generic black guys face dozens of times.
 
The review was pathetic, OMG COMMENTARY! OMG NO HUD! OMG DUMB BOTS! Bah pathetic. And what really gets me is that this time they actually seemed to praise the fact that the game is only 10 hours and has no mp component. Give me a break, this review has trash written all over it. Nothing less to expect from good ol' Greg.

Thx for correction, typo. Ya IGN's reviews are good but Pc gamers are the best. I ALWAYS agree with what they say.

Yes to the nth degree. I meant, IGN are the best at reviewing games online. And, of course, PCGamer has the the definitive PC game reviews.
 
Yah its a pretty cool game, still need to finish it though.

How's does it compare to the Xbox version? (I usually prefer stealthy single player shooters on a pad with analogue)
 
I have the game, it was better than i expected...Fist fights are fun :)

I disagree, I think that IGN always over rates and under rates, and GameSpot always hits them right on target.
 
I find that Gamespot is usually pretty good, although like most places I wouldn't compare PC reviews with console ones. For one reason or another the scoring styles always seem to differ depending on platform.

Do they "hit it right on target" when they give THPS3 a perfect damn 10? Or when they give their trademark skewed reviews, consistently biased towards consoles?

Sorry, I'm just completely anti-Gamespot. It's just a terrible site.

IGN is honestly a much better site for reviews.

Wow, the gamespot review movie shows some pretty low framerates on their "Alienware" pc's.

A commentary mode sounds great... it's a first timer for a game. Best of all... it's a game developed by sweeds.
 
Yeah Sweeds rock,
But I'll always love hl2 graphics more simply because it was designed to run smooth on a lot of pc's( exept for the stuttering bug), most studios just make their games look good, but what you don't know is that the hardware they are using doesn't come for a year,l ike doom3 and their 512mb graphic cards shit. Or take WoW looks absolutly beautifull while the hardware requirments are pretty low and GW to. I would really like those reviewers to also show some images or video's of what the game is going to look like on the avrage pc.

IMO its looks better that Doom3,Doom3 hav more detailed textures but riddick looks more realistic

Doom3

Cronicles of riddick
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/chroniclesofriddick/screens.html?page=73
IMO cronicles of riddick looks better,in doom3 screen the screeb looks very detailed but cronicles of riddick looks more realistic.also cronichles of riddick hav a better lighting,and more real looking humans,but sometimes some human looks a bit plastic but not so much
 
For ratings, I just trust myself. Better or worse, I'll make up my own damn mind.



Either way....can people comment on the game that have played the PC version?

I guess that makes HL2 as good as Halo 2 and worse than Zelda OoT then ;)

Game rankings doesn't really mean that much.

I know what I like and don't like, but if I had to pick one score to follow, it'd be the Gamerankings score as it offers a general consensus among publications. Definitely not Gamespots scores alone, they're a bit too inconsistent for my taste.
 
This game is very very good, no doubt about it.

And IMO, Riddick looks better than Doom 3. Instead of watching some screenshots of the game, go and play it instead, it looks much much better in motion.
And god what I love my new computer. :)
