PC Gamer review

[fleet]

PC Gamer magazine (the US publication) gave Sacred 2 a 57 (on a scale of 0 to 100). Given publication lead times and the magazine's philosophy of only reviewing a game with finished game code (as in from the gold master the publisher uses to rcreate the retail disks), I assume they had a European release. Like many published reviews, PC Gamer does not re-review games (as in after it has been patched).
I'm glad I played the demo and read forums to make my purchase decision before reading PC Gamer's review. If I'd made my decision based solely on published reviews, I wouldn't have bothered with the game.
best regards,

Oh I NEVER listen to reviews when it comes to any type of entertainment item. Unless of course I am looking to find out the durability of something, like I don't want to buy the version of the PS2 that has all the problems with the laser eye and ends up breaking shortly after you purchase it.

But as far as how good something is.... that is COMPLETELY personal opinion. I couldn't tell you how many times something got a bad review but I loved it or worse got a great review and I hated it.

Like that movie Napoleon Dynamite... remember that? Everyone was going on and on about how great it was, a must see, blah blah blah. I watched it and was severely pissed that I had just wasted nearly 2 hours of my life watching it. But hey, that's me, others really loved it. So yah just never know

So far their review is the lowest one done too. I want to read it to see what they have gripes with. I know I had a bunch at the start, but this last patch was magical and has made everything ok for me now.

Most of what the reviewer complained about was fixed with the 2.3 patch.

Yeah, the new patch fixed most of my issues as well. Is the review you read in the magazine or online?

@area,
The review I read is in the magazine.
