    Not wrong website then, it's wrong reviewing. If you're gonna review like this, then don't stamp this "opinion" with a "score" at the end of it, without letting the reader know where the hell did they pull it out of? their collective ass? So it's revolutionary, punishing and in the end rewarding, and obviously the reviewer liked it because of that. How does that translates to a "9"? What's so revolutionary about it? its mechanics? how's the gameplay? Will I even give a peanut it's a revolutionary game if, for example, I find out the button layout is badly designed, can't be configured and it's a pain in the ass?

    Wouldn't I be more interested about this game If they tell me I can take any class provided in the game and shape my character the way I want and that radically changes my approach on the game? The weapons I use change the gameplay in a VERY meaningful way so it's very helpul for me the reader to know the game's system is HEAVILY based on weapons upgrades and the STAMINA system in which armor take a significant toll, and you have the freedom to find your own balance between weapon and armor that suits your character (combat style, and his melee-range-magic aptitudes).

    If Edge wants to review a game as some critic would review a book or a movie, that's alright. And I come here to give my 2 cents as any of you replying to me, if anyone don't like my opinion , whatever best of luck to you. I don't come here to whine about "my game didn't get the score I think it deserves" or yell bias like many of the regular posters here (and everywhere), I'm here very seriously bringing the attention on the quality of the reviews here. They are poor and I've explained myself why I think it's like that. Am I supposed to read this review which basically tells me nothing about (the game) take a look at the numerical score and go "oh, well-reputed magazine Edge thinks this game is great, so that's it, I'm giving it a try" What's the point of reviews anyway? isn't it to encourage people to try things? maybe appreciate it a little better, and buy it? Isn't this site and magazine funded by advertising? How can anyone tell me "if you want a more "complete" review go to another site/read another magazine? lol, I wonder what the advertisers and Edge magazine would think of that.

    Oh but I don't mind the rhetoric. It's just their reviews are so empty I felt I needed to say something about this one, because it's a RPG (one I love btw) and I was expecting more. A writer may try to convey their own feelings about the game and that may or may not sell you an accurate idea of what the game offers for you in particular. Don't get me wrong here, Edge has good WRITERS but what gamers need are good REVIEWERS.

    The reviews on this site/magazine are just so BAD. You really need to cut on the rhetorical crap and talk more about what the game offers. It's like this with every review, good or bad (except the bad ones tend to be a considerably longer rhetoric-ridden piece of crap rant). Get yourselves good reviewers will you? To quote one of the few lines in this thing : "But stick it out, and with acclimatisation comes the realisation that From Software is trying to change the nature of dungeon crawlers, and that its uncompromising vision is nothing short of revolutionary" that sounds so "literate" but it says very little about the game. And you don't say much about the game at all anywhere in between all the aesthetics. Seriously it's like your whole reviews are made from "introduction and conclusion remarks" , but not much of the content a potential consumer is really looking for as advice to consider playing a game.

    don't buy it dude, not my fault you don't want it and still complain about it...would you buy it at $150? probably not. Now answer me this: what other portable device offers the features of the PSP Go
    in America at $250? please, show them to me.
