I read the whole article, actually. And my comment still stands. Game was ok, even bad, according to the author. And how he goes on some holy crusade, trying to «redeem» it (for some reason).
«They challenged my understanding of building the world’s end, that desolation can be dreamy instead of dreadful, drenching in jazzy vegetation rather than (again) jaundiced radiation.»

Ninja Theory made a «a fascinating predecessor to the popular cinematic games of today», are you joking? It was released in 2010, there was a metric ton of cinematic games release in 2010 (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Metro 2033, Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption, Dante's Inferno, Darksiders, God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Mass Effect games, every Metal Gear Solid game, you name it) and earlier.
Personally, i didn't like Enslaved: Odyssey to the W...
IMO, we need more good RPGs. I couldn't care less if they set in space, under the sea, in future, current times or in medieval times, or in prehistoric even.
I would take Mass Effect-like game set in Ancient Greece over another Dragon Age II. Or Dragon Age: Origins-like set in current time over Deus Ex: Invisible War and so on.
I wish when companies shut down their game servers, they would release the software that will allow you (or anyone interested) to make their own servers. Like Counter-Strike. Or Battlefield 2, there are still fan servers available today, you can still play the game today and it was released in what, 2005 (or 2006)?

Really? Thanks for telling me, i haven't seen any news about that on N4G, just a lot of glorious 8/10 reviews.
To be fair, «i’d like a fix for all the lag and constant crashes. it’s fine for the first few days» - it's not fine, though. In alpha - sure, in beta, maybe. At release? No, no lags, no crashes and especially no inventory wipes.
Surprisingly, i don't see anyone boycotting this game, demanding refunds or delisting it, that's weird.
Medium is an excellent game, really?
It fails as a game, though, because gameplay is super boring and pretty much useless. They could've made it into a visual novel and it would've played much better (because you could have an option to skip the boring sloooow walking around).
Puzzles made for kindergarden graduates, non-existent exploration, very bad stealth, overall boring game, exactly 1 semi-scary jumpscare, it's linear as a ruler (usually...
On a sidenote, i wish someone would make a racing game like Hi-Octane or Vigilante 8, or Interstate '76, or Twisted Metal.
When i read news about Marvel Avengers, i imagine this:
Crystal Dynamics promised to build you a house. But after some time, they said «it's done!» and shown you a semi-good foundation with a few walls. And instead of fixing the house, they say that «in this room, you'll have red carpet and green walls. Or we can do a yellow carpet, white wall and black ceiling. Here we'll have a sauna. And there - a personal gym. And we also discussed within a team and we ...
Maybe, instead of empty promises and hopes for the «Years to Come», you should fix your broken game first?
Add a lot more content (maps, heroes, enemies, bosses, extra missions/campaigns), don't try to slow down the progression that your braindead management asked for, stop with battle passes and MTX, rework the gear system (so new gear will actually show up on your characters)? Then people will play this game for «Years to Come» and wait for your us...
Videogames are the perfect scapegoat for such people. It's too easy to blame videogames instead of yourself. Crimes (including violent ones) have been existing from the beginning of humankind, way before videogames, YouTube, TV shows, movies, books, paintings, you name it.
But what are videogames at it's basis? It's one (or multiple) person's ideas/fantasy/imagination. Same as movies, paintings, books. Why don't you try to ban those as well? There're...
You're probably right and i do hope this game will be a blast, coop shooter with marines against smart different aliens, that sounds like a dream! To be fair, i just don't know why Disney/Fox gave Aliens IP to a new studio, but maybe we'll be plesantly surprised
You're probably right, i would love to fight against smart agile enemies. I just saw the 0:39 moment (where aliens run towards the flamethrower guy) and was like «Are they dumb or what?!», but it was probably just a bad moment in a trailer.
This looks rough: animations, movement, very dumb AI (i mean, judging by the movies, aliens are smart, they don't bum-rush you in a straight line, but try to pick survivors one by one, hiding, using geometry, there was none of that here), all felt very scripted. It might be just a trailer, but i got flashback about that recent online Predator game. Graphics look ok (not bad, but not «Stunning visuals, realistic environments» as they advertise either)
I get tha...
«Redefine»? Not sure, to me, this looks like a Housemarque game, like Alienation in 3rd person (which is a good thing, i love Alienation). Probably meant to say «refine», you know, fine tune and remove annoying stuff from Alienation. Game looks good so far, hope they'll deliver.
Surprisingly, i see no outrage. I guess, then no one will be surprised, when the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age games will be released full of bugs, boring, with broken promises, hyped up (thanks to gaming «journalists» and your fellow youtubers and other «influencers»), with in-game stores and macrotransactions on release (selling everything you can imagine), with a metric ton of DLCs and preorder bonuses.
They'll just lie about fixing everything a...
Sadly, voting with your wallet doesn't work anymore (at least, not with Nintendo). Nintendo have so many brain dead fanboys, that will buy anything Nintendo-related. Nintendo can literally release a piece of poop with Nintendo sticker on it and it will be sold out at release and buyers will be happy and call it «innovation». Remember that cardboard cutout with Nintendo logo that sold at $40+? On initial release, it was sold out everywhere, including online stores.
It's 100% Steam fault. Sometimes you can barely see the «Recent Reviews» and «All Reviews» text. And reusing same color for positive reviews is bad as well.
All they had to do is:
1. Visually separate reviews and date/publisher info. Like so, for example:
```
.user_reviews .user_reviews_summary_row:nth- of-type(2) {
margin-bottom: 16px;
padding-bottom: 16px;
border-bottom: 1p...
TL;DR: Don't try to ban/block anything you don't agree with or don't align politically with. Vote with your wallet. Remember your history. Write better articles next time.
---
You, as a customer (if you buy the games, of course, which i doubt) have a voice, you can vote with your wallet. Forcing people to bend to your will is really bad.
And if you choose to sweep events like Iraq war under the rug, they're bound to happ...
Judgment is remastered, already? I guess next milestone is remastering the game right after the release. And after that just remaster it before even releasing.
P. S.: I know they called the PS5 release a «Remastered», it's still weird. And there's no free upgrade, as far as i know.
