Through new eyes sure, but even then I think $70 is too steep. It's still a game that came out a decade ago; it's just prettier.
Plenty of people had a problem with it, we just get downvoted by the rabid brand-loyal fanboys that lurk here.
Nope. Demon's Souls remake wasn't worth full price and the original is my favorite game. RaC was about 15 hrs, pretty vanilla, and at least a third to half cutscenes. $70 is overpriced for everything currently on the market.
6 is pretty generous. Most of the features have been gutted from the last iteration and the controls are awful. It's very hard to tell which way the greens break and good luck having any clue where your ball is going to land initially.
Did they fix the awful controls and inability to see where the ball is going, especially if you "curve" the shot? Honestly more disappointed in this game than any in recent memory. 20 years and it's basically a shined-up version of Wii Sports Golf with Mario characters. Thank God Amazon allows returns.
Yes, because if you limit yourself to only purchasing or consuming from places you agree with 100% you'd be living naked in the woods. Purchasing a product from somewhere doesn't equal allegiance nor does it signal agreement with every stance they take.
...a study of fictional characters?
So is this jOuRnAliSm or sCiEnCe? It reeks of both.
Yeah because that custom map pack a couple thousand people knew about was sure driving game sales. It amazes me how anybody aligns themselves with these trash conglomerates.
I remember when Skyrim first came out for the PS3 the save files were HUGE because they didn't clean up any object positions over time. Cloud storage was like "40 MB per save file? Nope."
Whatever changed between Oblivion and Skyrim is what needs to be fixed. Non-breaking bugs are forgiveable when a game is as good and engaging as TES IV. The Skyrim story, quests, and locations felt stale and forced compared to Oblivion.
Play the originals remastered for the PS3 first, Deadlocked included. They're by far the best in the series.
Fine. The originals made for the PS2 almost 20 years ago are superior to Rift Apart in every way sans hardware improvements. Most places gave them between 8-9, UYA getting deservedly the highest ratings.
Rift Apart is not a 9-10 game by any measurable metric. Most of it has been done better before, and the graphics are by far the best part which is apparently enough for fanboys to cream themselves and declare it the best game ever despite having painfully minimal, repetitiv...
How is my opinion somehow less than yours when I'm pointing out specifics?
CIT was better than Tools, but that's still a pretty low bar.
I've outlined everything mediocre about the game and all I'm getting is butthurt fanboy insults in return. If you're happy with sub-par this is definitely the RaC experience for you. Enjoy, and expect more of the same since no criticism is allowed!
Apparently nobody that rated it played any other RaC game. They're all better than Rift Apart.
@TheKingKratos I didn't "demand" anything. I stated my opinion and asked others to explain why they keep saying it's great when it's objectively, measurably no better than any past RaC; in fact it's worse in most respects.
The planets are barren, linear, and very few. The gold bolts are painfully easy to find. The platforming is good for the first three-ish planets then takes a dive. The weapons are all either past weapons rehashed or so close to p...
You're welcome to point out anything it does better than any other Ratchet game.
I'll wait.
It's very pretty. Otherwise insanely mediocre in every aspect. Story, weapons, gadgets, content, exploration, puzzles, replay value... letdown in every category.
Still recommend a PS5, but this game is a rental, not a buy.
Play through challenge mode and skip all the cutscenes. You'll notice just how many there are and how short the game really is.
