Tbh from what I've played it wouldn't be far off. I'd give it a 7.5/10, which is still a very good score in my case. It's very rare to see Edge rate three games a 9 in a single issue, let alone three 9 and a 10Outlaws higher than wukong and people still defend this dogshit magazine
I'm ok with your score, the problem is outlaws scoring higher than wukong in their magazine.
It's parody post. I believe the original is in the Starfield Review Thread
Are you saying Wukong is polished????
I played both games on pc and wukong is WAY more polished than outlaws, like it's not even close.
In the pre-internet age it was one of the most important magazines for informed industry news and interviews.
Apart from very very weird invisible wall placement, it is polished yes
Invisible walls are a (bad) game design choice, they have nothing to do with polish.
Not in PS5.
Ah, ok. PC master friend. Well, bruteforcing your way to 60 is not polishing anything. It’s way more impressive what Outlaws makes with a low tier hardware.
I'm saying that because I havr no idea if those were by choice from the devs or lack of polish, so rephrased it like that. They came in weird places that looked perfectly explorable
I got stuck in the geometry of the level in outlaws 3 times, and lost hours of progress and the game feels like it stand up thanks to luck and spit.
PC is not a machine. Is a collection of machines. How Sony tier of polish does Wukong feels in a 2070? Does the title screen even load?
It's clearly a level design thing because they are at their first big game so they didn't know how to masquerade thing aswell as other teams where invisible walls don't feel as aggressive as in wukong.
Ok. Performance to me is part of polishing but I get your point. Can’t argue because I’ve barely touched the game gameplay wise and it was running on a beefy PC.
I can understand that, and the 2 games have roughly the same performance, one is bigger, the other looks better (most of the times) so they have both merits, but like you say, i can bruteforce most games so it's not really indicative.
Irony is difficult on the internet.
Not suggesting it's not very good, certainly worth a 9. But is it 10/10 in the way Mario 64 or other generation defining games of its type were?
To me performance is more important than bugs. Performance is constant. In a systemic game, such a X-Com you can always find interactions that don’t go as expected occasionally. But performance is constantly in yo’ face. Anyways to me both are lazy designed games with no inspiration whatsoever (an Ubi game and another Souls clone), so if I ever play them is purely to see how far PSSR can go.
That's one of the reasons why i have a beefy pc that can bruteforce some non optimal performance, but both games are aight, they both run around 80-90 frames in 4k max details except the rtx stuff so i'm satisfied.
If we go by that logic, no game should get above an 8 because it didn't reinvent the Wheel. Maybe it's just a good videogame, with great animations, gameplay and also a fun time with quirky characters. It's at the Top of the Genre for sure and definitely deserves it's scores. Sometimes being an actual gameplay first videogame is good enough. Interactive to the point that even the credits are playable, how much perfectly crafted can a game get or does a game need to be? Hardly controversial I'd say. I bet the same people saying it needs to be innovative for a 10 are perfectly fine with Elden Ring getting a 10(fantastic game) despite it being the well known from formula but in a open world. Or Halo 3, despite it being it's third iteration
I think for opinions to work, you need some opinion influencers, that direct many people to a certain direction. Opinion magnets, if you will.
I'm sure if that person actually paid for that game, he/she will have a different "opinion".
FtfyOutlaws higher than wukong and people still defend this wolfshit magazine
Is it really? I know it's rare, but that doesn't mean much when you look at the other scores in this issue.
Look at the other 10s they’ve given.
rainier wolfcastle wants his joke back.
Then ppl wonder why we keep mentioning "professional" journos are literal sellouts and they often push woke agenda, mediocre game like SW:O got 7 there just so they dont make Ubisoft angry and keep getting free copies/trips to disneyland and w/e else previewers/reviewers get.
It’s by far the most relevant physical magazine. All devs subscribe to it. Also, they actually write good English. I know it’s cool to be anti-intellectual around here but Edge is the best that we have as a magazine.So now Edge is relevant?
Opinions CAN be wrong. Wukong is superior to SW outlaw in every possible way. It’s indefensible. Same with Space Marine. These scores are bullshit
