Well I would appreciate that, if it's not too much of a hassle. Now...I'm not the biggest mod in respect to submissions, but I do see the others going back & forth on certain submissions sneaking in, what qualifies as enough 'new info' to be its own, you get the idea. Perhaps this may genuinely be a nuanced case that your friend's article butted heads with one of our guidelines (further detailed in Christopher's blogs) or perhaps it may be a case of us being in t...

But we're an aggregate news site. What did N4G steal? Was someone's stolen work submitted and approved on here? And are there any timestamps we can assess that you have to validate this claim?

A strange deal indeed; then again, Annapurina Interactive has been a thing for a couple years now.

Yeah, the team did A LOT of tinkering with it since then. If you go on the store you'll see EARTHLOCK now (w/ subtitle erased from it).

Does that extend to the remake/extended edition or just the original (with "Festival of Magic" in the subtitles)?

@Bathyj

Part 1 - "No a review should be an indication of quality, so the reader has a good idea of what the final product is like."

Part 2 - "If you ask me reviews need to remove a lot of opinion, expectation, biased, prejudice, hopes and dreams..."

At this point what you're fundamentally asking for is a robot to determine said game's quality, not a person. Sure, a review is an evaluation, but when we're...

It's hard to miss! ^^

-"You and him have a low standard about polish."

That's a mischaracterization of me. If you're familiar with my review work on here, you'd be surprised just how often higher marks for shooters were given to certain titles that hit that 'game feel' just right. I was a 'moderate' defender of the CoD series compared to others on here (though I would decrease some of them now looking back) and RAGE was another that surprised me. I've...

He literally just stated a game's polish is given a higher opinion, or leverage, than is really deserved. That's entirely subjective. Vehemently disagree with that all you wish, but don't misapply such a term like subjective & objective.

"Buggy games, if they end up breaking your progress (meaning you have to reset and start over) regularly, which this games seems to do..."

Except this is a false premise here. There's a litany of bugs to list out, but 'progress-breaking' with regularity are most certainly not the norm.

It's amazing how such an inane opinion as this can be up-voted so much. The summary literally makes a direct, full-bodied response to that aspect of the game already.

"underdog effect"

So that explains how Skyrim got away with it.

I think that's part of the appeal though. Having a more digestible product whilst still retaining the gameplay foundation of Bad Company/1942.

Played this for the first time yesterday. I can't believe I missed out on this one back in the day.

To critique some content in this review (disregarding the score and whether or not I'll agree with it):

That has to be one of the most uncomfortable transitions in a conclusion I've seen. To highlight a recent quote from him after ABUSE & HARASSMENT allegations as a segue to close out how you, the reviewer, are judging his work? That strikes me as an incredible lack of self-awareness, and is really discourteous to the situation (which I believe is still under ...

Awesome. SEGA is just doing everything right.

Better off asking for a remake of the original R6 games.

RIP in peace.

I remember playing that back around 8th and 9th grade too. I'm old! :P

No, it's ignorance. Hi-Rez literally several of Overwatch's base characters can be found replicated in Hi-Rez's Global Agenda, which released years before Overwatch arrived. And while I'm not denying the influence OW may have had with reswelling interest in the hero shooter genre--along with the campy-fun art style, disregarding Hi-Rez's previous work just to call Paladins plagiarism is really disingenuous.

2947d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

It's ignorant to consider Paladins to simply be an Overwatch plagiarism, esp. since Hi-Rez has dipped its toes into class-oriented combat since before Overwatch was ever announced.

I think, by definition, that's not the case. "In-house" implies Bethesda (as the dev) making the game, like with FO3+4 and the mainline Elder Scrolls games. id Software just falls under being one of their 1st party studios.
