Why the hell would you think this? Pretty graphics do not equal a high score. If you think this you need to take a look at how Asherons Call 2 is doing.

GameSpot has a policy where they do not review betas. Personally, im suprised they even reviewed the game.

Oh well. Its good to see a game reviewer actually do some thinking about how the game design compares to market standards and how much of a lasting fun factor it has. Seems like most reviewers out there go "Duh, this game is purty! I give it a 9!"

Well, I agree with their technical review of the game, especially lately. However, the waiting around does not really happen that much anymore - not with so many people jumping online.

I think that if they do a follow up review in a month or two you will see that it is much better.

Gamespot has a policy of NEVER doing a follow-up review. They will review an expansion or some type or Major re-release (ie UO).

As for their reviews, I find that they are very good. Though I'll never subcsribe to their premeire service, I've always liked their writings over any other "review" site.

Sounds right, I gave planetside an 8 in the review thread. PS is the kind of 8, understand, that is not duplicated anywhere else, which Gamespot reflects in the reviewer's tilt.

I disagree with their assessment of its stability. PS has been rock solid for me whenever I've played it, except when the devs intentionally brought down servers. A couple zone crashes here and there, but these are common in MMORPGs and their ilk.

I definitely know this, I'm able to stay connected to PS for far, far longer than your average player run FPS server.

It's about right, if 7.9 = not a bad game, but not a good game. PS had so much going for it, too...sigh. I'll wait another three months or so.

and keep in mind, SOE gave Gamespot the 500 beta contest to help promote the game AND Gamespot itself. Even then, Gamespot gave a brutally honest review and wasn't really "bought out"..

I thought it was kinda a ***...but then again I buy games for game play.....As long as it looks like its from recent years graphically and sound wise (no bloody 1993 style doom graphics).

7.9 isnt a bad rating , I consider this a good , fun game and im glad I bought it , but 9 and above means a great game , which it isnt at this time ( I stress at this time) . Cant let reviews on MMO games hold too much weight tho , since they are constantly changing. And as to the whole "im surprised they reviewed this game since they dont review betas" , gimme a break...You cant expect it to be 100% stable for everyone with no disconnects or anything , there will always be alot of patching etc. right away . Compared to almost every other MMO game the release of this game has been pretty damn good , though I would say it isnt perfectly balanced (almost though) .

He does have a point though. You should be able to play any game without hardlocking. Hardlocks mean something went wrong in their QA process, and they should never ever be acceptable because they're showstoppers. Server instability and outages due to overpopulation are understandable.

Never one hard lock here, not even in beta. I got several CTD's in beta and many "you have left the world" messges. But sience retail I think I have gotten 1 CTD. That is it.
