Nice, I will start a new game plus next week. I plan on starting MH: Rise this weekend.

SpacedDuck1190d ago

Real Patch Notes:

Still an incredibly unpolished mediocre game not even remotely close to worth full price yet alone $50.

thesoftware7301190d ago

I can respect your opinion, but man that was harsh...what did you play it on PC?

I played on SX and had a really good time with it, excellent production values and overall fun game.

SurgicalMenace1190d ago

Played it on PS5, and I completely agree with you.

SpacedDuck1140d ago

I played it on PC. Beat it launch weekend and only pushed on because the game world was actually beautiful.

The game itself was easy to forget and totally boring.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1190d ago

I agree it’s not worth the $70 price I paid but I find the game to be pretty fun and absolutely gorgeous.

SurgicalMenace1190d ago

Graphic engine is something to behold.

Jin_Sakai1190d ago

It’s using Unreal Engine 4.

Aussiesummer1190d ago

It will be so ironic when the dead space remake outshines and outsells this thing.

Still waiting on this to drop to $30 so I can cop

"Be creative 99% of the time" – Glen Schofield on how creativity can help fix AAA industry woes

The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman7d ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.

Yeah this isn't true, game was garbage no way it sold that much. Seen a lot of posts saying he was confusing it with player numbers, not sold copies. It went on discount really fast and was also on Plus and GP.

It wasn’t a classic or anything but still a good game. I enjoyed it personally.

These days it feels like if a game isnt brilliant it must therefore be terrible and everyone hates on it.

bsingle40246d ago

I hear ya, what's wrong with a decent game?

CrashMania246d ago

Maybe I was a bit harsh there, it's decent now, but didn't gel too well with me, I played it pre-release so it didn't help. I should have just stuck to pointing out the possible inconsistency lol.

Cacabunga246d ago

Too much for a terrible game blablabla.. thanks to all the fans who still believe and support SP games. The game isn’t perfect but waaaaay beyond average!!!

The_Hooligan246d ago (Edited 246d ago )

I agree. Back in the day, I played so many 7 and 8 rated games that were amazing. Hell, even some of the 6 rated games I played were good too. People forget that when someone reviews it, it is an opinion of that one person. Always trust your own instinct and give it a try. Now a days you can see videos, walkthroughs or someone live streaming the game to see for yourself if the gameplay is to your liking or not.

neutralgamer1992245d ago

Exactly if it's not 9/10 it's garbage. Back dying PS1, 2 and even 3 days there were some very good games which got 7/10. None of these games below got anywhere near 9/10

Singularity
Enslaved
Def jam
God hand
Dynasty warriors
Psi Ops
Freedom fighters
The punisher
Marvel ultimate alliance series
Red faction
Dark watch
Saints row
Binary domain
Spec Ops the line
Earlier yakuza games
Fracture
Time shift
Wet
Etc,,,,

Really? I didn't buy it but I got it for free from Humble Bundle and man, it really wasn't that bad at all. I was expecting premium garbage from the way people spoke about it. Sure the combat isn't Deadspace level but it was sure satisfying melee-ing them to death. I think they just tried to be Deadspace without being Deadspace but they really wanted to be Deadspace. Overall though the game wasn't nearly as terrible as people make it out to be.

darthv72245d ago

For a while, the game was deeply discounted at retail. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that it sold more when it was under $20. I found my copy for $10 at Best Buy.

DivineHand125246d ago

I actually played this game when it was added to ps plus. It was a 7/10 experience. If I played it at launch when it was 30 fps i would give it a 6/10.

True horror video game fans would probably give it an extra point.

BlackCountryBob246d ago

Makes me think a bit of Days Gone that it overall had good sales, but was steeply discounted very quickly and the majority of sales would have been for a much lower price so much less profitable than it would have been (assuming this doesn’t include me as a sale when I got it on PS+ but haven’t downloaded it, just added to library). I was still seeing Day One versions for sale new in the wrapper until this time last year.

TheGamersDojo246d ago

And this number is considered a failure!?
