@sage, mystic: i don't doubt that there are some people out there who will maliciously try to wreck a games reputation any way they can because they apparently have no lives and take stuff way too personally. Att the same time, I'm pretty confident that number of people is really low in the bigger picture when you consider there are 18 million ps4s in the market and when you cross reference metacritic reviews with other user reviews from pretty much anywhere they line up. the bigges...
if you look on metacritic, critic scores average at 65. user scores average at 67. i don't think its just the journalists who are disappointed. i personally just logged another 2 hours into it last night. there are certainly some good moments in the game, but they aren't common. the gameplay is... just ok. i'd give it a 6.5 myself. if fun is the main objective of a video game then the order is lacking. if the objective of a video game is to look beautiful above all else then ...
yet it will still be 10x better as a racing game. drive club is stripped down and lacks just about everything that makes a racing game good for people who actually dig the sport. no real world tracks, mediocre physics, crappy ai, no tuning options, no upgrading options, no customizing options, no difficulty settings, little to no wheel support. at least project cars will be a racer for racers.
It's Metacritic score is 65 and it's user score is 67. Seems users and critics are just about on the same page. I'd give it a 6.5 as well. Seems like only the fanboys want it to have better scores
i agree actually. i don't think it has to be innovative to be fun. thats why i said it wasn't a bad thing to be like gears of war and that those are some of the best parts of the game... for the same reason that gears of war are fun in general. my only point is that this was supposed to be a huge deal for sony with a really kicka55 exclusive that was supposed to blow the doors off of everything around and show people that sony still has it with exclusives. a title with that much e...
i will concede after playing the order much more, its better than i originally felt about it. that said its still not an amazing game. i'd say in my opinion it went from a 5.5 to maybe a 6.5-7. I'm playing it and I'm giving a chance. i think the graphics are breathtaking. i feel like the gameplay is very much gears of war. the level designs and functionality are also very gears of war... right down to staging of cover objects and the camera looking to the point of interest when...
yeah they don't really love the xbox and a lot of that is attributed to them feeling it doesn't really cater to their demographic. clearly western type games don't necessarily all do well in japan and the general sentiment is that the games they prefer don't exist on a US made console. That and there is an extreme amount of patriotism so buying a japanese made console feels right with the assurance that there will be popular japanese games available on those systems. the xb...
forza motorsport has always been 60 fps from the first version to the last. and i would say all racing sims need to be 60 fps. the horizons, driveclubs, need for speeds don't really matter as much to me because you're not playing them for the physics.
So. What res is that? It's 1080p with the black bars and in the tech breakdown they stated that the black bars helped them render less pixels while keeping a 1080p pixel map. Just curious. Looks fantastic. I'll assume probably1920x800 which is completely acceptable.
I'm confident bloodborne will be better received than the order. It would be almost impossible not to be. The order has pretty much been panned by critics and contrary to anecdotal opinion, user scores are similar. Metacriitic user scores are actually lower than critic scores, though probably a bit exaggerated by overzealous opinions on either side of it. Bloodborne will be a bit more of a niche game but it has a solid base to launch with, proven by the souls titles. Challenging, solid ga...
I was just playing it 20 min ago and I disagree. Yawn fest. Bloodborne will be a better received game. I think the order set the bar pretty low for it
I can invite people as well if interested. Pm me your xbl tag if you want an invite. :)
There are quite a few things the X1 can do that the ps4 can't.
Who cares if the exclusives suck. I have an X1 and a ps4 and I am having more fun with the X1. I started playing the order on thursday and I'll tell you it's the most beautifully rendered disappointment I've ever played. It's just boring. The story is wasted opportunity, the gameplay is simplistic and minimal. I promise you when I say this, X1 fans are not and have no reason to be jealous of the order (with its average review score of around 55) when there are other games avai...
well said. i feel the same.
why do people need to go to such lengths to convince themselves and others that its a good game despite all the criticism to the contrary than to just accept it and say "hey. this game isn't as good as I wanted it to be. hopefully the sequel will be better" and move on.
maybe we should all stop hyping things up like we think they are going to be the most amazing things ever before we even play them, and end up disappointed. its mostly a side effect of fanboy/girl wars. each side proclaiming that its exclusive is so superior they keep upping the rhetoric until it grows into a giant hype machine.
if the order isn't terrible by todays gaming standards, then we need to re-evaluate what todays standards are and how low they've become. a...
i think even crappy ryse is a better game than the order. i've officially played them both now. i'd rather have repetitive gameplay than a lack of gameplay. the order looks better though.
did they though? the gameplay is similar to gears of war and game cinematics and QTEs are nothing new. all they did was make the gears of war part - which is the best part - and minimize it, then double up up on game cinematics because the game director really just wants to direct movies but then tried to offset that with the QTEs to break it up. after all that they letterboxed it to say it makes it more cinematic but i feel like it was more so they could render less pixels to crank up the...
thats all well and good but the content of the exclusives kinda matter more than just being exclusives. i mean if you're into kinda cartoony lighthearted stuff then sure, you're gonna love the wii-u. i have one. thats what its good at. if you want stuff thats a little more "adult" or with really great graphics etc then you're going to be looking to the ps4 and x1... or pc if you're willing to take it there. even then, theres no guarantee that exclusives will actu...
