Support NeoGAF

[Dorago]

I come on this site every day but this is the first time I've ever heard of this game.

If they go on Epic do they just not do any PR yet still expect the game to sell?

Or is it something with profit sharing vs conventional investment income?

 

[chicnstu]

Hope this doesn't negatively affect them too much. Metroid Dread was great, so hopefully they can make a sequel. The only thing I didn't like was the EMMI encounters. I'm not sure if that's a popular opinion or not.

Those evil increasingly selective consumers, i tell'ya

Poor man's Blade of Darkness and I don't support Epic Store.

It's the same developer, but you knew that. If not, MIND BLOWN.

 

[Instant_Classic]

Didn't make it far into the demo. This wasn't about to light the world on fire regardless of platform.

This, the game would have been a sub 1000 concurrent on steam regardless of if it released there or not.

The excuse from people here would then be "release a better game then".

Fact is, this game simply was not good enough.

 

[kunonabi]

I gave them enough chances with Castlevania and Metroid. I'm touching anything else they make.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

It looked uninspired and mid, might pick it up for a couple of eurodollars down the line.

Yep same developer. Was disappoint when BoD is leagues better. Easy skip. What I would give for another game with BoD combat.

I mean iirc it released around the time when everyone was still playing and talking about Expedition 33,i know i was and that is not a short game.
I saw the demo drop on ps5 but never checked it out.

Demo did nothing for me, sadly. If the demo had been as good as Stellar Blade and AI limits, then I might have been in that.

UGH those fucking millenials are killing gaming now too!!!!

 

[YeulEmeralda]

It looks generic as hell and please fuck off with the rolling.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

It's not that bad of a game tbh

 

[STARSBarry]

 

[krumble]

It's actually a fairly decent game, but it doesn't really explain its mechanics properly to start with and isn't the most easy to get into, I seem to be getting my moneys worth and my other half has been playing it exclusively for weeks now which is good because I needed him to change from playing the 3 other games he's been maining repeatedly for the past 4 years

 

[kiphalfton]

Looks like a God of War 2018 ripoff. Which is ironic, considering Lords of Shadow was a God of War OG ripoff.

That's cool if you bought it and enjoyed it. I hardly want to play my 100+ Epic collection. I didn't even hear about this game until now and they lost €10m. Something is wrong. There's a ton of stuff I'd rather play. Most of the games I get for free feel soulless for some reason. I'd rather pay for the stuff I want to play. Then like years later they give you the stuff you paid for, for free and it's kind of pointless at that point. It's probably why I stick to Steam.

I agree a lot of the people in the industry and the people who fund games live under a rock unless they lose their money. Learning the hard way.

 

[Kacho]

Epic exclusive = black hole

Womp womp

The Game is not boring at all, it is very good, but it literally had 0 marketing.

 

[taizuke]

Same here.

 

[OGM_Madness]

I'm interested in this game, but knowing the marketing for it was lacking and the game looked generic, didn't buy knowing/hoping it'll go cheap before too long.

Really looking forward to playing this game, but 1. I have so other many games to play right now and 2. I won't buy full price just to feel burn when it hits that $20 price point (or less) and I haven't even touched it

 

[Heart_Attack]

Should had been priced accordingly at $50.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Wild.

Hardly believable that this is the same Mercury Steam that made LoS.

*opens Steam* *types 'blades of fire'* *sees no results* Sorry, your game don't even exist. What are you talking about?

Jokes aside but it surely doesn't help visibility when you don't spend a shit-ton of money on advertisement. Also, of course people are selective with cost of living rising left and right and games, too, becoming more expensive but also more of a time-sink.
