This game looks like a lamer version of Witcher 3 to me (Witcher 3 had a good open world with interesting characters and good quests/side quests though).

And TW3 is plagued with one of the lamest combat mechanics. The one thing CDprojekt red never could solve in that game to save their lives. Hopefully they finally fix the combat issue in TW4.

This game looks like a lamer version of Witcher 3 to me (Witcher 3 had a good open world with interesting characters and good quests/side quests though).

I got the opposite issue. I've played the first 10 hours of witcher 3 twice and I always drop it cause the gameplay is trash. I end up starting to play something else and never return to it. Most video game stories I can't even remember 2 weeks after I beat a game so I really don't care much about stories.

Same reviewer that gave Concord and Highguard a 7

That's about two points too high...according to Topher .

You can't spell Ignorant without IGN.

I haven't played the game, but stirring the pot is at least an 8.9/10 activity.

I finally got my copy so I'll be able to properly shit on this game as soon as Caves of Qud releases its' talons from me.

The weirdos at purple place already being triggered by this video will never not be funny.

 

[pepeno]

I mean yeah. For at least 7-8 years now i don't look at "professional" reviews at all precisely for reasons mentioned in video. Moreover I also think that a lot of reviewers these days just plainly suck and can't play games because most of them are just writing grads rather than dudebros like normal people.

Recent Other Worlds 2 / Awoved reviews were the best example of that. They were perfect reviewer games, short, good story, easy but utterly boring games that you could sleep while playing and completely devoid of any fun other than what developer wanted you to laugh from (and often it was forced af).

Jeeez. This is incredible. GG COHH. amazing.

Qud never releases it's talons for very long..

"PC Gamer has a "THIS GAME IS AMAZING!" for every failed game of the last 10 years"

It's funny cuz it's true...

Just finished Avowed.. i wouldn't call it a boring game.. had fun playing gunslinger.

How is Caves of Qud? Is it similar to Moonring?

Why in the f would he delete it lmao

 

[Metnut]

I don't particularly care about user aggregate scores, but I thought this was an interesting observation nonetheless:

The game's average user score rating has increased to 8.0 from 7.8 on Metacritic.

User scores now basically match what the critics scored it.

 

[Hypereides]

In other news, the user average keeps climbing:

Its on 8.3 now.

 

[Pokedot]

In fact is sitting at 86%, still very good.

This is just selection bias. It would make sense for people that continue playing the game to like it and those that drop it early to not.

 

[Bernardougf]

Its selection bias either way my boy.. if you think people playing 2% of a huge game and leaving reviews gives you all you need to know thats your prerogative

Imagine believing that someone who read the first chapter of a book is more knowledgeable than the folks who read it completely.

These mental gymnastics are rich, just because it's easier to hate on something than investing a bit of money and many hours in it.

 

[Gonzito]

Why in the f would he delete it lmao

Apparently people in Resetera were mad at his video. It could be a reason

 

[Abysse]

Why in the f would he delete it lmao

They said he was going to make a better video about it.

Almost a 8/10 and having the best open world since RDR2 isn't exactly mediocre. This isn't Starfield.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The defense force for mediocre games will never cease to amuse me lol.

Likewise, I'm amazed at the wrong use of the word "mediocre". The last time I checked its definition wasn't "what IGN and Kotaku mentally ill journos state as such".

 

[MMaRsu]

Apparently people in Resetera were mad at his video. It could be a reason

Ofcourse they were. They were calling him "Gamergate adjecent"

"1 step away from literal gamergater"

And all that shit. He should just stick to his guns lol.

 

[Mondai]

Almost a 8/10 and having the best open world since RDR2 isn't exactly mediocre. This isn't Starfield.

The amount of hype its getting by most people to what the game actually is... It's not the worst game ever, but calling the GOTY so far is hilarious to me.

What if he just didn't like the game that much

 

[Mondai]

Its just my opinion though , Im really not trying to argue.... I think its a mediocre game , and people getting dolido over someone saying this is funny to me.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

It's a GOTY nominee so far. There's like 6 slots. Some people can know if they'll personally like it more than GTA6 for example. I'm probably one of them. I didn't play half of GTA5 yet. I actually like the top down GTAs more. I'm OG. Ha!

Mediocre... we are talking about the most ambitious open world game since years, with the best graphic ever right now, and a combat system that is better than 99% of other games.

The only mediocre thing is the story... I dunno cause I skipped everything I could, story in videogames is like story for a porn movie.

If they had refined the control system this would have been considered the second coming of christ.

But no, there is no yellow paint, and no handholding so it is bad...

 

[Mondai]

Hehehe mano, pq tu crees que estoy enojado? si quieres disfrutar el juego , mas poder para ti lol.

I think its mediocre but while yes the game looks amazing , the gameplay is just fine to me , definitely not the best combat ever . This is just me , but a great game needs good gameplay and good story.

 

[scydrex]

What if he just didn't like the game that much

Then we can assume he liked Avowed more or it's a better game?

 

[MMaRsu]

Yup I know. Its lame.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

This is insinuating all other anspects are equal. BotW feels completely natural and fluid to play the moment you pick it up. Crimson Desert still has me fighting with controls and wobbly movement physics even after an hour.

Some may say that an hour isn't enough to make it feel natural, but your missing the point that games should feel natural from the get go.

But let's continue with the brain dead reductive takes from social media.

BOTW has similar controls....

 

[GymWolf]

Apparently people in Resetera were mad at his video. It could be a reason

Did they opened a new topic or in the ot?

I need to see this.

 

[diffusionx]

better game, no - it's subjective

He liked it more - yea, seems that way

 

[DeepEnigma]

That's his grift/schtick, really.

Is there a way to tell if a door is locked before using a key? I keep using a key before I even check the windows cause I thought the door would be unlocked.
