Yeah and it's a jump by having the person you've been talking too for months just to say "screw you!" and leave.
As I said, there are a ton of outcomes that would have been "fine" or "realistic"...still would have been stupid all the same.
Says you. Henry getting killed by the bear would have been fine. Henry and Delilah getting together would have been fine. Just because the ending wasn't some completely off the wall thing doesn't just make it acceptable in my opinion.
In other words, I want my 4 hours back. People can keep defending the ending all they want but to me it just felt lazy, rushed, and made the rest of the game seem like a big waste of time to me.
I love how publishers find it OK to basically punish it's own goddamn paying customers simply because they don't own a specific console. I'm on PC. I don't own a console. I have no hand in the game. I have no sides. But yet I still have to wait...why exactly? Why is my PURCHASE being kept from me?
I swear if I had the money I'd sue these clowns and maybe stop this shit from happening ever again.
What a joke.
Nah, the ending was pretty bad after all. It was lame, abrupt, and lazy. People can use the whole "it was realistic" excuse all they want. There's a 1,000 different things that could have happened that would have been realistic.
You're an idiot. If you haven't played the game yet then don't come into an article TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMN ENDING! DUHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Derp.
I wish people would stop blaming themselves for being hyped up for this game. Considering the marketing before and after its release has been, what I would consider, pretty damn deceptive along with all these rave reviews, acting like you overhyped the game before playing it really isn't fair to yourself.
The way they've talked about this game and said it had all this and that and choice matters and yadda yadda of course you're going to have certain expectations...
What is this going on about? Who expected this to have split screen? Why would you be upset? This doesn't make any sense.
My problem with the ending is that it just feels lazy and is completely uneventful. Everyone that "liked" it keeps throwing out the "it's realistic!" excuse as if that just makes it OK.
Henry getting killed by the bear would have been realistic.
Henry dying from smoke or fire would have been realistic.
Henry falling to his death crossing the gap between his tower and Delilahs tower would have been realistic.
"Absolute triumph"? Really?
Why are all these review sites soaking this shit up like it's the Second Coming when actual user reviews and general thoughts about the game are a lot lower? What's going on here? No one I know personally that's played the game liked it that much (especially the ending). So where are these "pro" reviews coming from with 9 and 10 out of 10's and 90+ scores?
This is Gone Home all over again. Ev...
I'd really like to know how this "game" is doing so well in professional reviews but most people I know and users I see online don't think so fondly of it.
Sure the first 2/3rd's of the game or so are pretty fun but the "twist" and ending are totally lame, lazy, and underwhelming. Out of the handful of people I know personally that played it (including myself) the ending totally ruined the rest of the game. So mundane and cliched in these ti...
Oh yeah, totally. None of the complainers were those that expected the game to look like it did every time they showed it off for years. Give me a break...
"When Does "It's Just A Beta" No Longer Apply?"
In my experience...never. Just like with The Division Beta and how a ton of people were all "It's just a beta the final game will look better!"...yeah...not really. I can say that for me and all the beta's I've been in not once has the final game been some major, or even minor, difference.
This article makes a good point and I see this more and more with "game reviewers" these days and that's the mentioning and putting down of poor aspects of a game but somehow still giving said game a way higher review score that the review leads too.
Just like the Koalition review linked in the article here. The dude says the only negative thing about the game (which, really, only ONE thing?) is that the ending is bad...yet gives it a 98%...whaaaa...huhhh? So ...
So it's perfect to you and worth $20 for a ~3 hour game. Gotcha!
Am I the only one that finds something extremely off-putting about "Major Nelson"? Something about the way he sounds or looks or constantly uses a user name like it's his actual name...
Is that why Microsoft decided that instead of making their own action/adventure franchise/IP they tried to buy out FREAKING TOMB RAIDER?! Uncharted says "Hi!".
I don't know if you're just trolling or what but to say that about Sony when Microsoft is NOTORIOUS for buying instead of creating is just stupid. Just outright wrong.
How do you have so many more bubbles then me but don't know how the "Reply" button works?
Is the game really boring? When and where did you have a chance to play it? I'd love to at least try it!
Am I the only that's NEVER heard of this game?
Oh! The classic "why don't you do better!" bull. Take that argument somewhere else and shove it where the sun don't shine. Just because someone can't do something doesn't mean they can't criticize it. I couldn't design a better car than the Geo Metro but that doesn't mean that I can't say that it's got a weak engine, slow acceleration, low top speed, loose and cheap feeling handling, etc.
Just because we may not be masters of wr...
