Deus Ex 3 announced

Read my second post in the thread.

And that assertion is dubious at best.

IW sucked really badly. I believe it was also a flop financially due to hardly anyone buying it. IIRC the office of the team who made IW even closed down partially due to how much of a flop IW was. Since these comments are based on memory, feel free to correct any of the above information if it happens to be incorrect.

Anyhow, Deus Ex 3 announced doesn't mean much because it could very well turn out to be another trainwreck like IW. I'll get excited when and if the professional and end user reviews come out saying Deus Ex 3 is a good game like Deus Ex 1 was. Until then, not even worth hearing about the new game.

Console version sold pretty well, they didn't lose money on it but they did lose the pc crowd, quite deservingly so imo because they didn't even try to mask the fact that it was developed for the console.

Well, at least they were honest about it.

Save yourself the time and headache, and don't bother. Reviews are bought and paid for at the bigger sites. Don't believe me? Wait until Fallout 3 is released, I guarantee you that you'll see nothing less than 9/10 reviews, and people raving about how it's a "true successor to the fallout games" and "worthy of the title", when pretty much all it's going to be is a lame FPS. Same with Bioshock, just another uninspired FPS, with great ratings. Or any other number of highly hyped titles. If you want the real shtick, find someone who will buy the game and play their copy for a bit, or failing that, listen to the opinions of your friends whom you trust and value/share their views.

Edit - Need I say more?

Dude, no s

. It's pretty obvious that in gamming reviews are on a 6-10 scale for big time devlopers, and a 1-10 scale for small time devs. I've read (and I'm sure you have too) reviews of big time games that had a massive hype machine behind them. And they guy doing it is clearly not blown away by the final product. In fact he has some heavy critisim. But at the end the score is 8 or 9. Ignore the score, that is bought and paid for by the games developer. Read the review, and base your judgements on that.
