PSU Community Review Index [congratz spyrde!]

[Blacksite]

Can't see Blacksites Sony sub-forum banner for some reason, but I'm on mobile atm so that could be the case. Both sets look great honestly.

It's an issue with ImageShack. In some rare cases, it won't load certain images.

[Lethal_NFS]

Both are great, but I chose Blacksite's because the colors really stand out.

[Ixion]

It's not so hard is it? We don't need a plot analysis! Eg. Assassins Creed 3 is the story of a native american/european assassin called conor who seeks to destroy the templar threat in order to protect his village.

Thing is, some games rely heavily on the story, so there does need to be plot analysis. And doing it without spoiling anything can be tricky. I hate spoilers in reviews though, so I would never do anything like that in my review.

[DeviousOne]

So if there are spoiler in the review the person can use the spoiler tags and warn above the review that this has spoilers.

The idea of spoilers in the reviews is scary! Who wants to have the story of a game ruined for them while they are reading a review in order to help them with a purchase, ya know? Spoilers will need to go into spoiler tags for sure. But I still don't agree that spoilers are even necessary. You can talk about the general story arc without getting into details and mention the merrits of the story telling and character development etc.

I think Ghost explained it really well in a way not to have spoilers, and his AC example a few posts above is spot on. Listen to him on this one.

Yeah, basically, when it comes to actually detailing the story, the reviewer should do no more than provide the synopsis. But when the reviewer needs to actually critique the story, they need to restrain themselves from using specific examples, and instead must only speak of the qualities of the story.

Glad to see Blacksite is back up in the fight. He could pull ahead.

Exactly!

And yeah Mr Soldier, it's anyone's win...I am a bit disappointed with the vote turnout...lol

[F34R]

Exactly!

Well, all the votes are actually from active members. There isn't much more than that.

lol Yeah...Well, I'll close it tonight or in the morning then..

[Soldier 95B]

Morning! I want Blacksite to take the lead!

[Fenix]

Drag it out as long as possible, the more time I got before PSU members start persuading me to buy games again the better

Well the section is actually live...Just no one has submitted reviews yet.

[brebaz]

I'll submit something in the next 2-3 weeks, as i have many things at hand!

Your balls will cause a delay in your reviews?? Unacceptable!

[Ixion]

Well the section is actually live...Just no one has submitted reviews yet.

I think some people may be confused if they're supposed to post reviews yet. Perhaps if you write the first review and get the ball rolling, people will jump in.

[Blacksite]

I would do a review of XCOM: Enemy Unknown but I still need to finish the game.

Really, it's great. I just keep getting my ass kicked.

[DeviousOne]

working on mine still

[Sir_Scud]

So my review for PSASBR is done. So um, should I post it or wait?

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Go for it!

[Sir_Scud]

Well it's posted. Bare bones with no pics, but it's done. And of course, I fucked up the title of the thread
Members can't edit titles right?

you should be able to edit it if not just let SMC or a Mod know what to change it to

[Sir_Scud]

NVM, I figured it out

[Kuro]

Not like my vote matters but I picked Spy's.
