Rush of Blood Metacritic Rating: 72
Tumble VR Metacritic Rating: 69
Those scores are decidedly average. And the article doesn't imply something is wrong with Time Crisis; merely that for a supposedly cutting-edge game to recycle the same ideas 20 years later isn't encouraging. Supermassive Games has one well-received game to its credit, so to exhibit concern about an upcoming release is totally justified.
The site uses a custom review score system drawn from Australian university grading scales. N4G doesn't allow having a score out of blankness, so defaults to 0.
FWIW, HD is the highest score the site uses.
That part reminds me of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Just hope that Exzore's able to match up to how good that game looks.
The picture is an official piece of media from Firaxis posted on the XCOM website?
Sales figures =/= reception. Here's an exercise, go visit the comment sections of FFXV articles published since release to see what people say about the game they've played. Or visit Metacritic and check the most recent/most helpful reviews.
I mean, how many comments have you read saying that CoD: Infinite Warfare is crap, yet it still sold considerably better than almost anything else released last year.
It's amusing that pretty much every comment defaults to the money that they've made off GTA V, thus suggesting that no-one read the part that admits that money is no issue. The article questions other things than the financial standing of Rockstar because that is one of the few things that there is absolutely nothing to be worried about at the present time.
People used to say that about Final Fantasy and Bioware... look at their standing among fans now.
An interesting read but I think other developers have done episodic narrative better than Remedy. Would still prefer to see them come back to do another Alan Wake rather then moving on to another ip.
Thanks for the read. Looking forward to part 2.
Monster Hunter World would be, but this one releases a week earlier. ;)
