It's like you read my mind. I bought Reach and have enjoyed it, but I am starting to get incredibly burnt out on shooters and will not be touching another one until next year.
Shooter after shooter releases and they all have the same exact gameplay premise for the most part, yet they never get called out for being either derivative or repetitive. People just continue to gobble up shooter after shooter, going online and playing match after match and it is nothing but an en...
All I see are complaints that it has too much variety and it's too long. LOL, what the hell ever. I'll take all the variety you can give me and the length will only make it seem that much more like an epic quest to me. Good score, but can't say I cared for the review all that much. Can't wait until Tuesday.
Lottery idea seems pretty neat. Can't complain about having a chance to win a free game of your choice.
Well, not all games have to be open world to be enjoyable. It is all about the story here and I plan to play and form my own opinion before calling it outright garbage. That said, I'll be picking it up Tuesday along with Lords of Shadow. To each their own, I guess.
Yeah, well Assassin's Creed has gameplay that is about as automatic as it gets, but it does not stop that series from getting heaps of praise thrown on it. I love it myself, I am just making a point here. The platforming in Enslaved is nowhere near the likes of Assassin's Creed. At least you have to press the jump button, rather than hold down a button and a direction on the game pad while the game plays itself. So, let's not overstate it here.
You got that shit right. Both LoS and Enslaved look far more appealing than yet another, kill, die, respawn, kill, die, respawn military shooter. Just ugh.
Don't get me wrong, I love shooters, but there are so many of them and so many more coming out that the thought of playing yet another one currently makes me slightly nauseated. I have enjoyed Reach, but I am pretty sure I am done with shooters and multiplayer frag fests for the year.
I am kind of starting to dig Games Radar reviews. They are very well written.
That is not just your opinion, that is just the facts. Well said.
Indeed. It is called OBJECTIVITY, something that this review is completely devoid of. It reads more like a fanboy blog posting.
The only real gripe he had was that it was not like the old Castlevania titles. In other words, it is a great game, but fails because it is not like the old games.
Apparently he never got the message that this is a REBOOT. It was never trying to be like the old games in the first place. They have said on countless occasions that th...
Absolutely true. Tunnel vision fanboys who ignore the general consensus and swear blind loyalty to only one review source... even if it is in the minority.
How odd, the review was extremely positive for the most part. Sounds like he only hated it because it was too long, had too many puzzles and had varied and beautiful environments instead of being stuck inside a castle for the entire game.
Just speaking for myself here, I am kind of tired of being stuck in a castle and playing in 2-D. If he thinks this combat gets repetitive, then what the hell is the archaic gameplay of the old games?
This guy reviewed the ga...
Your loss, lol.
This is a noteworthy quote.
"In a structural concession to the Castlevania series, the story is broken up into bite-size chunks, motivated by one of the game’s main incentives: replay value. On first run-through you’ll likely pillage 50 per cent of its treasures, unlocking some grueling time trials and revealing just how many items you’ve missed. Going back is often the best way to progress overall, particularly on the harder difficulties which demand a fully fleshed mov...
Indeed, lol. One of the game's best features was thought to be bad level design by this guy. Yet, how many times has it been stated in previews that areas that are unreachable early on can be returned to and reached later so you can find secrets?
Too bad that they let this guy review the game. He docked it for something that makes it very much Castlevania. No wonder his review sits alone at the bottom of all of then other great reviews. Horrible review from Gamespot.
Wow, wow and more wow. Epic is a word often overused, but there is not a more apt description here. I knew this game was going to be good, but I think it is going to be even better than I thought. I think it is going to be one of the few games I really look back on and remember from this gen. It has that 'special' sort of quality to it.
They are full of it and this only proves it. The game is done, they simply do not want to compete with the massive holiday line-up.
Why not go hang yourself upside down over a pack of hungry midgets? Stop spamming your nonsense in every topic.
Fuck off
Yes, it comes out in Europe on October 21st.
That says it all, really. Enslaved is going to offer up a wonderful journey and that is the entire point with this game.
