Defiance: Bashing Reviews/Join Dark Side.

[Schwa]

If you want to bash something, bash the metacritic average for the 360 version.

I'll help you out, since it might be hard to understand: the game's at a 56/100 metacritic score. With 13 critics listed.

That means those 13 critics, by and large, agree Defiance is lacking. Substantially. Not just IGN.

Is it okay to have a guilty pleasure? Of course, I love the movie Butter but it got **** scores too. That doesn't mean it's a movie I'd recommend to friends without serious reservations, and it doesn't mean it's what would be classified as a "good" movie.

I'm sorry. I like Defiance and have been playing it, but even I would only rate the game at about a 5.0 out of 10, not even the 5.9 IGN gave it. Defiance is a guilty pleasure, but I can't pretend that it is a 7/10 or better game.

Trion really dropped the ball on this one. Christ, there isn't even a real text chat on the PC side. It's a complete joke, and makes Defiance a single-player game.

Is that a fact? I'm sure individuals can make up their own mind. I like the game, all my friends don't. Just a matter of personal preference.

They can, but most don't.

sadly.

Seems to me like IGN got it right this time.

This is the exact feeling I have. The game is fun at times and we all see the potential. But as of right now, its not there.

Like that 9.5 for Diablo 3?
