Lol, "game of the year " what lab do they create people like you in?

Christopher3628d ago

Glad they took some extra time to add new gameplay elements. Don't know if it will make it better, but there's always the possibility. Hopefully they announce the release date soon.

Looks quite interesting, but I will wait for the review scores, before I make my final judgement.

I'll wait to play it myself before making a final judgment 😏

GamePeace3628d ago

I'll have to correct myself, sorry ... my mistake.

First I'll wait for hundreds of good review scores + a Metascore of minimum 85 and then I'll play it myself for some weeks before I make "a final judgment".

Sadly I lack the ability to sh!t money like the Kardashians or Donald Trump => Duck, so I'll have to be careful with Donald's money ...

This comment is so wrong on so many levels...it's kinda sad even.

GamePeace3628d ago (Edited 3628d ago )

My personal opinion is "wrong" and "sad"?

That's so wrong on so many levels ... it's kinda sad even.

Which part didn't you like? The part with Trump?

Darkwatchman3628d ago

It's a smaller indie game. It's not going to break the bank and if you can't afford a game, then don't pass judgment on a game you haven't played :)

Something personal: I live in europe, in germany to be precise. Here we have to pay a lot of taxes (like switzerland). Sooner or later we'll have to pay the air we breathe, so every cent (if you know what cents are) counts.

That's why I wrote that I will play it myself if the game is good enough, learn to read correctly before you embarras yourself next time whiny watchman ...

Darkwatchman3628d ago

But how will you know the game is good enough without playing it yourself 😏😏😏

GamePeace3628d ago

Listen, I follow one golden rule with videogames: I'll only buy if the game gets a minimum Metascore of 85. Everything below this number is a no-play for me. Of course there are exceptions, but those are rather rare. I don't buy every single sh!t that comes from this industry. Many developers don't offer demos or trial versions before release, so I'll have to wait for the reviews before I decide if I buy something or not.

@gamepiece

I would highly highly highly advise lowering your minimum requirement to 75. There are so many games I enjoy and later go back and realize they scored 7s and 8s

Darkwatchman3628d ago

Or you could just follow my simple rule. Get what you want regardless of reviews unless there is a very unanimous hatred for it and on occasion, splurge on cheaper games or games on sale that you might normally not be interested in just to give them a chance. Never look at reviews.

I love reviews because I take the industry seriously and critical analyses of games is very interesting to me. I read and watch as many different reviews of a game as possible simply for entertainment and sometimes they do aid my purchasing decisions, though not all the time and they are never the "end all be all" for making a purchasing decision.

Your standard of only getting games with an 85 or higher metacritic is absolutely absurd. It's as absurd as obsidian missing out on a pay bonus of several thousand dollars simply because Fallout: New Vegas' metacritic was a point or two below what the publisher wanted.

Reviews can be very helpful, but come on, man. Live a little. Have you never hated games that got good reviews? I know I have. Have you never liked games that got bad reviews? I know I have. Stop being so rigid about it.

Darkwatchman3628d ago

I have literally discovered some of my favorite games by looking at Amazon or going to a game store and picking out a random game I'm otherwise not interested in or that I heard got bad reviews. That's how I've discovered some of my favorite games.

Sounds nice and all, but gaming does cost money. Maybe we're in a different financial situation, but I have to be careful with how much I spend into this hobby of mine (of course I have a handful of other hobbies too). I too would like to play more games, but I lack the money more often.

My standards may seem "absurd" to you, but for me they work.

You ask me if I didn't enjoy some games that got good reviews? There were many I couldn't really enjoy despite the good reviews. To name a few: MGS V: The Phantom Pain, The Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 (just to name a few bigger titles).

Not everything that is praised by many or the press is automatically good or a quality product.

Nice to see the disagrees, some people seem to know better what I like and where I live.

@gamepeace
Its obvious that you have not been gaming very long. If you have to actually wait on other peoples opinion in order for you to see if this is a game that YOU will like. I have seen games with low scores that i have enjoyed and games with high scores that i didnt....NEVER rely on someone else to tell you if you should like a game or not, especially a small indie that wont cost more than $20 usd

I'm glad they added actual platforming to this game, job well done.

I'm beyond excited for it! Any news about a story mode? Or cartoon like chapters? I remember the boss fight from last E3, so I'm hoping that there's a campaign styled layout to it.

Christopher3628d ago

IIRC, those boss fights are more like Titan Souls. They're there for the challenge and interest, not for the story.

jb2273628d ago

Same here, the platforming & traditional levels takes the game from a potential great start to a potential great game. The bosses all looked really cool, but I need me some levels as a build up to those bosses.

Easily one of the most interesting games hitting XBO...really hope we see a Rayman sequel announced this year so I can get some quality platforming in seeing as how I don't have an XBO or PC...

sammarshall1023628d ago

The platforming was the last thing I needed to see before deciding to purchase this beauty

I agree, i'll hold off until i see more since this is clearly an early level. Will probably play just for the bosses though.

That specific platforming wasn't great, but the game looks great, sounds great, and the boss battles I've seen were very interesting. Hopefully this platforming shown was just a basic one.

Oh-oh-oh, wow, that's good. That is really good.
I was kinda worried that making a game boss-rush only would make it stagnant and boring pretty fast, but now I see where all the time went and am pretty sure this deserves my money. More colourful and ridiculous stuff, please, gawd knows we need that now as a compensation for years and years of exposion to military shooters and shit.

kazRium3628d ago (Edited 3628d ago )

So, hate to say it, but I'm not really loving this. It looks very generic and tacked on ( based on the "level" being comprised of the same couple of enemies and very generic platform design ). I mean, was this really needed? I know some people were upset about the original gameplay being boss fights only, but does this really add anything? If the devs original vision was a boss only game, I would rather play that. I hope I'm wrong, for all I know the platforming will be amazing, and this is just a small taste of what's to come. I just hope they have the time to put their full effort into this part of the experience if they are going to include it in the final game. With all that said, still excited to play it.

jb2273628d ago

I mean this particular level doesn't look mindblowing or anything but it still looks mighty fun.

I think the platforming levels are absolutely essential for a game like this, they help to give the game some cohesion (hopefully this change allowed for a light narrative of sorts) & it also gives players some quality practice before the boss battles.

Hopefully it allows for some more of that gorgeous art as well...

StormLegend3628d ago

Am I suppose to be hyped for that? Looks good for a $14 digital game, but other than that it's nothing.

I love the art style of this and the animation, they really nailed down the old cartoon feel.

I just hope there's an option to disable chromatic aberration.

Bronxs153628d ago

OK. This has been one of my most anticipated games. I even thought about this game when thinking about purchasing an Xbox One this game was a deciding factor. However I have to admit after seeing this video I was a little dissuaded. I mean I love the look of the graphics and the sound but the level design and gameplay showing off here looks repetitive at one point I had wondered if the video started over play again you wouldn't know!

Looks like MS helped them turn this game into a platformer instead of a bunch of boss battles, which explains the delays. Thank you MS
