And they only needed 34k to break even.
Well deserved!
I'm on Dark Souls "platinum club", have played all of them on release etc.
I haven't been spoiled in any bit about the game. Simply because I don't click and watch "FULL PLAYTHROUGH PRIOR TO RELEASE HERE" playlists. Crazy, right?
TBH, I don't watch even their trailers anymore. Full blind on release.
"Who watches spoilers then blames the devs?" We have the answer right here...
In this case, it is dropped. The devs aren't willingly giving their game for free, or are they?
So... Thieves.
Oh, please no... Just release the ripped overhyped game already so we can stop seeing ads about it in every site and headline.
Thanks, bro!
1. I won't read the reviews. I trust more random users than people getting paid to write about a game.
Not saying that the reviewers are paid directly by the gaming companies, but they are definitely not free to say anything they want. Also, ragebaits are bigger than everything in the industry.
2. Did you know that a lot of people play games before release? Youtubers, reviewers, lucky players, retailers etc.?
It doesn't need evidence. It is a fake piece of opinion, made to bait hits.
Guess what?
Every angry person here is feeding his business and biting the bait. :D
You (and I, when I came here) are the reason why this kind of stupid article exists. The worse the article, the bigger the money we give them. ;)
This one... Well, it is so bad we took it to the #1 in the front page. :D
Sure. Games ARE repetitive, no doubt. It is like saying that Super Mario games, the ones with some of the best level designs and creative mechanics ever made, is too repetitive because you basically just jump jump jump. And the jumps aren't even realistic.
If you don't care, could you please tell me about the cinematic proportion of the game? Is it more like New Order or is it closer to Alan Wake?
Cinematic heavy action games to me are a big no.
I'm reading a lot of "interactive story" and "The Order" references.
So, honest question from someone thinking about getting the game (the last one I actually care about in my X1): Is it a cinematic heavy game? How does it compare to Uncharted (5 minute action segments, one minute cinematics, or something like that), for instance?
Static windows to void granted.
I wish there were no superpowers this time.
More for marketing than testing purposes.
They had Mad Max to do in the same time and ended up screwing both. Mad Max with a little more effort on variation and creative missions would be epic too.
It reminds me of the "leaks" before TLOU first release, when the "best theory" people had on the mined data was that there would be an open world multiplayer game, like RDR or GTA IV/V, where you needed resources to keep your faction mates alive etc.
It is a bad site, everyone knows it, but wow... They managed to post a list with almost EVERYTHING got wrong on it. lol

Ultima Online did it much better. You killed an innocent? You received a mark that lasted one day. 5 marks? You're red until one decays.
The rogue system is TOO lenient.
That's to ensure that people won't just be collecting the free MB coins (Konami regularly gives) until they have enough for another mother base, for instance.
Konami has freemium schemes on MGSV and this coin hoarding is how people who don't pay on these schemes get the "premium" content. (premium my a**, it's a full priced game)
If I was playing until now, I'd probably have saved enough coins to pay for another mother base, with...
Ubisoft specialized and cemented them on the "good games" department. Farewell "very good" and "excellent" titles.
But when the subject comes to fake trailers and empty promises, they are unmatched! At least they know their strength and what makes their games sell.
A good start for them would be to stop (graphically) lying on their reveals and to stop copying their mechanics from one game to other. Far Cry, AC and Watch Dogs all ...
I already noticed it before.
Surely I am.
The fact that a game being revealed too soon hurts its hype momentum is something created by me and my fellow modern gamers. Yeah, sure...
The simple fact that sites live by the money from developers themselves (or publishers, no difference), already mean those won't be neutral on their reviews.
It is simply impossible to dissociate your critic when you depend on this kind of money to operate. It might not even be a self-aware proccess, but it is there.
Would you p***-off someone who is throwing dozens of thousands of dollars in ads at you?
If any of you recall, anyone who warned that GTAV MP mode (that everyone like to call GTA Online, a different game lol) is designed like a free to play game was heavily disliked.
Well, now you can beg for SP DLC as much as you want.
