I really avoided spoiler about this game, so at the start I thought she was Elli grown up. LOL
Valkyria Chronicles is a great evolution of the genre. wish there was Front Mission game that uses the formula.
@Nitrox
I played the game, it seems you didn't.
most videos and streams are negative. Druckerman couldn't sell the story. he knew that so he used false marketing. Sony needs to put him under adult supervision.
some just don't agree with the whole arbitrary premise of the story.
@P_Bomb
saying that's what soldiers do to those they conquered. this happens today in Syria, Libya, Iraq. humans are sold as cattle today.
@DrDeath
Abby had no justification, she even encouraged her father to do the deadly operation on Elli. and she worked as the tool for a warlord who slow tortures people to death in front of her. and was passive when that warlord told her about the plan for genocide. these thing are even worse than killing Joel.
@Hakuoro
robberies are actual rational, just not moral. they are mostly prevented by the force of law. we have all witnessed what happens in the absence or weakness of law.
what makes the revenge saga in this game unbelievable is stakes and the cost. traveling ling distance should be very difficult. that was actually a fundamental plot device in the 1st game but in this game it's a casual decision to abandon those who need you to travel 100's of miles in se...
characters are all bad because of the writing.
"actions are quite common for someone who is hell bent on revenge"
just exposes the naive knowledge about humanity and it's history, can't help but think Druckerman lived a sheltered life and only experienced these concepts through a book or 2.
I'm a Sony fan and I'm calling them out. If we get defensive they will get complacent and slack off. this game is a sign of hubris.
you actually helped highlight another failure of the game. because it's so contrived we can't believe the characters and only see director Druckerman forcing things through. the illusion was completely broken and it was impossible to go along.
@Obelisk92
It's OK, Druckerman also got responses that said what he wrote was stupid and not shocking or thought provoking. you are proving the point against the game.
and everyone leaving address where their mortal enemy can find them.
ambiguity is a major part of the ending of the 1st game. that is gone. somethings in the plot are deliberately left for the observer. it's the same for movies like Blade Runner.
I went for shock value to encourage discussion, why is it only OK if Druckerman dose it? :P
if over half the gamers missed the point the it's the fault of the storyteller.
IMOO 6 would be the minimum because the game is so polished and the actual action is nice. 8 would be the maximum because of the bad plot and contrived script. it's not bad just because of event's. the setting up is just lazy. lost count of how many times the plot turns after getting jumped going through a door.
@MetalProxy
Druckerman himself said he changed his stories as a result of outside influence.
YouTube videos were dominantly negative. millions more watch those videos than those who check website reviews or metacritic. also word of mouth on social media is mostly negative. sales are also from people like me who didn't like the game, because the last game was great. I pre-ordered the game out of trust for ND, I was sure there was something to redeem it, turns out it was much worse than I expected. this will reflect on ND in future games. they lost half the fans. maybe that is eno...
LoU2 is so bad it even ruined the first game.
This time Xbox, PC or Switch owners are lucky.
