"Yeah because you can definitely tell a game is balanced off of a few videos"
They didn't watch videos, they played the game.
They said "FELT surprisingly fresh and balanced". It felt balanced,.. to them... from what they played, obviously... Next time so that you snowflakes understand they should probably add a disclaimer "It only felt balanced based on what we played, for the time we played. We are not claiming the game is a...
The press isn't being petty.
It's just that a lot of you fanboys don't understand how reviews work and get all upset if anyone scores a PS exclusive 8 and below. Anything negative about your beloved exclusive is a sin.
It's quite pathetic, honestly. It becomes downright hilarious when you do it in the midst of this same 'petty' press is scoring every other PS exclusive a 9 or 10.
Yes, just like youtube comments for every single IGN review. n4g comments section at it again with the retarded logic. This complaint is silly. Reviewing AND scoring are entirely subjective.
@fiveby9
"I find it odd that IGN gives this a 7.5 and other sites a 4. I understand reviews to a degree are subjective but such a disparity seems odd."
Disparity with what ? The metacritic score of 69 ? Either the majority of reviews are showing th...
True. Multiplats, especially fully open world, dynamic TOD open world games will not look nearly as good as exclusives on consoles.
Zero was the coolest character ever. So badass
I completely forgot about that game ! Sooo excited for a sequel. RAGE was a great game that didn't reach it's full potential. Can't wait to see what id have in store for us this time. Also expecting some fantastic visuals :)
The combat looks so satisfying
No need to beg. It'll come later, probably with a next gen console remaster or something.
If it doesn't, they're throwing away a lot of money, that's all.
@AgeInTheCage
You're an idiot.
The game will sell great on PC, just like every GTA game.
Crysis 2 dumbed so many things down, the biggest of which was the simulation and interaction. That's the really sad part imo. If they didn't do that, Crysis 2 could have pioneered FPS games even more. The kind of gameplay you get in Crysis and Crysis Warhead was amazing. The level of interactivity was something else.
No it wasn't. The graphics on display warranted the processing power requirements, easily.
As for optimization for modern hardware, it simply wasn't made for the multicore architectures we have today. It wasn't made with that in mind, and that isn't their fault at all.
It was a shit trailer. Random story cuts with some cliche lines without context. Cut after cut after cut of randomness.
Shitty trailer.
TB is best known as a PC games critic. He put out a lot of very informative shows on youtube, and was very influential in the PC gaming community.
That's from what I've seen of him.
"So they actually are working on bug fixes right now instead of just sitting around drinking margaritas waiting for the game to launch on May 22nd... who would have thought developers would do such a thing?"
You're telling me they'll turn it into a nicely polished experience in a few weeks ? It rarely ever works like that. We've also had examples where it plays out as expected. eg: Project Cars 2
I want Alan Wake :(
Still very excited to see their next project. A very talented studio with some fantastic ideas.
" Just on a technical level, there isn't anything even remotely close to this game."
So what ? Don't you realize that technical aspect is one part of it ? Don't you realize that different people value different aspects of the game differently ?
Now, try and realize that this goes for EVERY aspect of the game. Just because you didn't see an issue, someone else might have, and that doesn't mean they're an idiot. Different ...
"I understand that not everyone likes action games but this is BS.. There were many games i didnt like but recognize they were great games.. An 8 is just a jab."
HAHAHAHA xD
This is gold, I'll quote this in the future.
An 8 is definitely a jab. lol.
@Goldby
No he does not. Read the sentence. He's saying it's close to it, and his words are also obviously exaggeration/hyperbole.
@Heelix
N4G fanboys don't know the difference. Nothing really matters when your favourite game gets a score as low as 8/10.
Came to n4g comments section expecting to see fanboys calling out review for clickbait or whatever.
Was not disappointed.
I would try to explain to you how 8 is not a bad score, and that different people have different preferences, and that every critically acclaimed title will have some reviewers who don't like it as much as most. (I mean, that's kind of inevitable isn't it ? Anyone with half a brain would expect that)
But ...
Careful, you'll upset the circlejerkoffs
