That's ridiculous. Metacritic doesn't have to be the only site for gamers to submit their late-to-the-party thoughts on a game. Gaming websites and forums have done this for a long time, so I'm not sure what's so surprising about this.
What's both a bit humorous and unfortunate is the likelihood of you seeing "*random spammer* replied to your comment here" notification throughout the week now, given you being the first comment and the popularity of this submission.
But that shouldn't discourage any user from posting their review here. If we did: any gamer who buys stuff after deep sales wouldn't be encouraged to post anything here. Rather than focusing on how 'late to the party' someone is let's discuss their points made.
You're free to continue if you'd like.
Just started playing Steep and I'm having a lot of fun with it too.
Why should that matter?
I think one of Prominence's best assets is how natural this free-to-play system feels. You intuitively understand the concept of putting down real money (or time + effort) to acquire chips in a tournament, the buy-in rate + entry fee, and getting clothes. It's a lot more easygoing than the BS you'd see in something Dungeon Keeper Mobile or the Battle Island series.
Even though the review was basic, I appreciate you contributing here. Hope to see more stuff ...
I mean...do you really have to be that condescending to the author's opinion? Looking at what's written in the description, he seems to be knowledgeable enough of Bioware's lineup of games--which seems appropriate for what this opinion piece is about.
1.) This is just the list of nominees for you to vote on, in the link provided above.
2.) It's pretty clear these nominations were listed in numerical order, not in what "place" they were in.
Same here. Looks like a great little title.
-"...it was a hard year to think of much of anything."
When considering how we've applied "innovation" into our category, I have to disagree with you there. Because we've never tried to solely look at big-picture but smaller nuances as well. Here's a vid from Game Maker's Toolkit that lists 5 which would easily apply here: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Initially, I got the wrong impression from the 3-limit during the nomination phase. I'm really liking the expansiveness of this list. And nary a grammatical flaw of the list in sight. What is this?!?! >:(
Only disappointment for me is Game Innovation locked to hardware-oriented stuff--except for Trico. I thought at least SUPERHOT got a couple of nods during the nomination process but I guess not.
EDIT: Ah ha! "Darkest Dungeons" ins...
Thanks for the comment, alf!
Yeah, I still believe the ending itself fits appropriately with the story's main themes. But some of those jumps in time seem like they're begging for a little more time to breath.
As much as I like these characters, a part of me worries how that'd conflict with what this story was all about.
Agreed. There are several exemplary qualities in this game.
It looks great and I'm hoping to play through it soon.
I hope everyone enjoyed the review. Please feel free to submit your comments and/or questions down below.
I will say this to stress my enthusiasm: I was quite tempted to consider just a flat 8.0 here. If you have a solid PC that can run this without hiccups I'd make that consideration. But I just dropped it down the next lowest tier because of those annoying framerate drops. With that considered, it's one of those strange examples of being so enthusiastic to t...
You mean...back to making COD great again?
In regards to graphics: eh, for a decade-old game, I still think they went a more inspired route with the look. Technically impressive with dipping its toes in a livelier, cel-shaded-esque art style.
In regards to gameplay: forget aging, they weren't well-implemented for '07 standards. A smorgasbord of mechanics that had high ups and low downs in execution.

No. This info was already promised last year when this was announced so there really hasn't been a further downgrade.

Typically when someone responds with "no" they follow up with where my comment is incorrect. Nothing I stated in my first comment is incorrect; in fact, here's a simple breakdown of the site's ratings system:

Glad to see you've awakened from your presumed Torment slumber, cgood. ;)
A bit surprised at a couple of choices like Episodic Content & Multiplayer (figured a HITMAN episode and Overwatch would win). Pleasantly surprised w/ the Multiplayer win. There's something about Battlefield 1 that can be so bombastic and visually stimulating, especially in Operations Mode.
