When you have to damage control your own review you can tell that you probably missed the mark on this one Gamespot

MasterCornholio3699d ago

What's done is done.

No changing that now.

Anyways if it makes you feel any better there are plenty of high quality reviews on the game.

bullproodhead3699d ago

A 7-8 is the lowest I can see a site giving this game. 6 just indicates average to me. My experience has been its been a good to great game.

its_JEFF3699d ago (Edited 3699d ago )

Watched the whole video, it didn't seem like damage control. That video is actually taken from their weekly podcast/stream. They actually went more in depth about their reasons.

At the end of the day, Reviews are opinions, and sometimes they're not gonna align with yours. What look at as most "important" when it comes to reviewers and their reviews is consistency (from game to game), never the scores they give.

Jaw1love3699d ago

watching this convinced me that these guys don't actually play video games. Like are they serious they had an issue with the bad guys wearing Monarch clothing? Have they ever played any other game ever? Every video game bad guy is easy to recognize, that's a staple of all video games.
There are legit gripes with the games shooting mechanics (missing aim animation, inability to shoot unless aiming) but this game can't be classified as a cover shooter, if you play it like one, you are doing it wrong. That's kinda like calling Tomb Raider a cover shooter because Lara ducks behind certain objects.

jb2273698d ago

Did you watch the entire video? They addressed the idea that the game can't be classified as a cover shooter...you literally drop behind cover whenever you approach a waist high object, you have a cool down timer on your time manipulation which will force you behind cover to recharge, and there's a section where you lose your abilities and are forced to shoot only.

What happens in any of these scenarios? You either let your character die or you take cover & shoot from it. So yeah it's a cover shooter & so is Tomb Raider. Not sure if anyone would claim otherwise. You can't criticize this game's flying mechanics because they don't exist, but if there is a cover mechanic & it is possible to shoot from behind it, then yeah, it's pretty much a cover shooter w/ added time powers.

2pacalypsenow3699d ago (Edited 3699d ago )

This is the first time ive seen so many articles reviewing or discussing reviews. Why cant people just accept the review and move on.

its_JEFF3699d ago (Edited 3699d ago )

Couldn't agree more, but people have their pride and feelings invested in some games... when that happens, it's hard to accept a view that differs. This same thing will happen when the UC4 reviews come out and they're not all 10's.

Just fanboys looking for extra ammo, for the war.

esmittystud1013699d ago (Edited 3699d ago )

They are starting to "review" there reviews now. LOL.

I'm only about 8% complete with the game. Its way better than a 6/10 or even a 7/10. I'm not going to rate it until I dig in for a while.

Man, its the prettiest 720p game I've ever seen. It has the best "lighting reflections on floors" I have ever seen. The facial graphics for the characters may be the best I've seen too.

The only bad thing I can say with the game is the movement. It reminded me of Rise of The Tomb Raider right off the bat. I wish I had a PC to run it in 60fps to see how both those games would work. 60 fps I know I love it in Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

Now I'm thinking Uncharted 4 will move the same way, sluggish. Other than the 30fps, the game is good. I get it though, some games 30fps is good, which I totally agree with. I just don't care for it in QB, Uncharted, Tomb Raider.

jb2273699d ago

I think the movement for QB has less to do w/ the fps & more to do w/ the actual controls & animation. I haven't went hands on with it, but there is a floaty feel to the animation in motion and the rough controls was one of the major criticisms from both reviews.

I think Uncharted won't be sluggish, purely based off of the fact that we've played UC in 30 fps in 3 prior titles and the movement was fun & fluid for me. I think the only issues anyone has ever had w/ controls in UC was the aiming mechanics...I don't think I've ever seen anyone classify the prior games as feeling sluggish though so I see no reason to assume this one will be. Tastes may vary though.

2cents3699d ago (Edited 3699d ago )

Wow.
Give a low review. Then make another video to belittle 'other' big sites that gave great scores and further justify their 'opinion' as 'the correct one'.

Bunch of Narcissist.

Edit: Oh and SPOILERS!!! In the video, I had to stop watching as they were giving stuff away.

You're still overlooking this Remedy sci-fi shooter, and its 89% cheaper on Steam Deck

Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN800d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit800d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead799d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica799d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL799d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit799d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper799d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica797d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer800d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit800d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer800d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit799d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer799d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183799d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper799d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal800d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood799d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183799d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde799d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion815d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer815d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion815d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77815d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai815d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
