Games are often not received well because of ridiculous, harmful, and laughable attempts at journalism. Pieces are no longer an objective reporting of the facts but rather opinionated tripe and a page of some hack's personal wishlist.

I laugh when someone attempts to write an article these days and point the finger at a publisher or developer (people actually doing something) when it is the shoddy gaming press responsible for 99% of the damage to the game industry. Those that can...do. Those that cannot...critique. The reading demographic deserves better.

it makes no difference, you purposely went to watch a video that you knew it would spoil the game for you, therefor, you dont feel the need to play the game, and thats obvious. but you know, that goes for every game out there that focus on story telling, of course games like sports, or creation games are different, but in this case if you really wanted to give the game a try(or even get it when would be cheaper) you wouldnt go watch that video

That's fine to put me on blast for doing it, and yes, i never had any intention of buying this game.

But you really are proving my point.

It was the number one trend on youtube...

Big difference in playing and experiencing it yourself. Plus YouTube acts like a marketing tactic that can make people go for the purchase. These type of games do good the more people watch them because it makes them want to try and play the game however THEY want to.

There is more to it than just seeing to actually play and experience the complete game is a whole lot of difference. The music and the atmosphere of the game is just like a different character you get to play.
Play it by yourself controlling the game and you will realize and feel what kind of game this truly is.

Wow.. do you even read what you type? It's like saying you have no desire to watch a movie because you've already seen the ending. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to spoil it and then cry about it.

This is such BS.

You can't possibly feel like you played it because you haven't played it. You don't know what it feels like to play it. And you never had a desire to play it in the first place.

Why WOULDN'T being the top trending game be a positive? And why wouldn't it speak even greater volumes when that was done when the game was out for just a few days, and yet was #1 for the whole month?

Why troll?

While I'm dubious of your claim, I will say that Until Dawn is one of those games you just have to try. It's not for everyone, and some people won't like it for whatever reason, but watching the choices/deaths/whatever is a far cry from the experience that it can deliver.

I didn't find the game all that scary, as some people like to make it seem like the most scary game ever, but the characters were mostly fun to get to know, the story played out well, and the concept of choice was used to great effect in this game beyond what TellTale did in The walking dead series. Watching the death scenes and the choices does not bring the same disappointment of watching a character you liked die in chapter 7 because you made the wrong choice in chapter 2.

It's the little things that matter.

More important though is that while there are some scare moments, the game has a lot of really tense and suspenseful moments, and to me, that's where this game shines. It does a great job of setting up an atmosphere of a person can die at any moment, and that suspense is what makes this game special, and is not something you can experience on YouTube while munching on Doritos and listening to some idiot yammer on thinking he's funny.
