I really liked this game called Geist, it did pretty badly in critics scores and sales, but I loved the concept so I tried it anyway, and it was a pretty unique and cool experience.
Sounds like a very humbling turn of events.
$40 according to the publisher on the blog.
I plan to buy this the moment Best Buy offers it at $40 or less (then I get 20% off since I'm in their gamer's club). I want to play it right now, but my backlog is too long, so by the time it goes on sale not only will I get it for a great price but it'll actually be something I'll have time to play by that time haha. Game looks really fun though!
They make 4k TVs now. So you still need define the resolution of the TV as long as every TV on the market isn't the same.
@lolosgolos: Well if you want to throw those names out there, what's wrong with a PS4 gamer throwing out these names: Bloodborne, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Soma, Dragon Quest Heroes, Disgaea, etc.? Point being, PS4 has plenty of games this year too.
This is a game I'll definitely play some day. My plate is a little full at the moment. I'm thinking I might be able to get to it in January or February.
Definitely excited for Broken Age. Haven't played that one yet. Super Meat Boy is really awesome, too, I'll play it again.
@Neonridr: I have no side in this debate, but to play devil's advocate a little bit, to answer your question ("How can something score 50% if it is broken or unplayable?"), well, I would say in the same that was a 50% on a test or assignment in school is a failing grade.
Valiant Hearts is welcome for me, I wanted to play it and haven't had it yet. The rest I've already owned and played, but oh well.
Absolutely agree, to the letter, good sir!
I loved every Disgaea game, but never played Disgaea D2 (the one with the return of Laharl) on PS3 because I always expected it to get a Vita release like all the others got PSP or Vita releases. SHould I go ahead and buy that on PS3 and play it before I get Disgaea 5?
I'm realizing one thing I really about Nintendo of America (this post only applies to US... I hear that Bayonetta 2 has had price drops in other regions, but not that I've seen in the US)... they are very stubborn with the pricing of their self-published games! This game still hasn't gone on sale anywhere that I've noticed. I've told myself once it hits 40, I'll buy it, I've never seen it under 60 brand new. Nintendo is usually like this with their game prices. ...
@Lenns: What do you mean 4 took a step back in terms of story & character? It had by far the most story & character development of the whole franchise, the thing tells hours and hours and hours worth of story. Or did you mean something else?
Are ANY of them indy games? Which ones are indy and which ones aren't? Most of what I've seen announced for PS4 are from well established publishers & developers in Japan, and they're retail blu-ray disc titles.
Personally, I'm not buying the game unless they either implement split-screen, or I otherwise hear that the campaign is so mind-blowingly good that I must play it (which probably won't be the case, the last time I truly loved a Halo campaign was the very original one... though 2 and 3 were good, they've been downhill ever since. The multiplayer has improved every time, but I just get bored with the single-player campaigns over the last couple of entries). I primarily play Halo i...
Damn, looking good! Gorgeous graphics & animation, it looks like a Valkyrie Profile / Child of Light type of game (sidescrolling, pseudo Metroidvania-esque with turn-based battles that occur on a separate battlefield screen from the platforming screens). Love this kind of thing.
Please forgive me in advance for talking about an issue I have with critics, tangentially related to this article and this game... Don't hate me for my opinion, please!
I'm sure this game is amazing if you want to play a soccer game, but I think this review brings up feelings in me that point to the hypocrisy and problem with the way professional critics review games.
A 9.5 is the score that I've been led to believe is given out to games that hav...
Why didn't so many of PS4's games get listed? Until Dawn, Tearaway Unfolded, Guilty Gear Xrd, LittleBigPlanet 3, Nobunaga's Ambition, etc are "good" Metascore exclusives.
Also counted both the Halo remaster collection & Halo 5, but only listed Uncharted once for PS4's list, so why don't we make sure we have two entries for Uncharted as well, one for the Nathan Drake Collection and one for Uncharted 4.
Listed Gears Ultimate, b...

Not something you usually read in an 8/10 review!
