Oh wait, this game is subpar, right?

I just got the EGM with the bad reviews today. Pretty dissapointing. Sounds like it was a good idea that was just executed very poorly.
 
If you think about it, the sad thing is that Nintendo really does bring out the absolute best in developers.
 
Wow, that dog's made out of shit.

Kevin Smith ripped off again. They had the shit monster on Dogma, now there's the shit dog in this game.
 
You can possess a clock? What does that let you do? Make people late for an important meeting? Confuse people on daylight savings time day?

you're forgetting the most recent video game cliche: rewinding time

Can turn the clock back to 2001, so the graphics do not look as bad.
 
N-space. *shudder*

I'll pick this up when it's cheap, real cheap. If only for a few good laughs while I posses such interesting things as dog food and wristwatches.

What kind of clock do you have that has a 10, 15 and 20 on it?
 
Damn this game was suppose to be good. It was suppose to fill (imo) the biggest hole in the GC's library which was fps.

I own all 3 systems and "console FPS's" just happen to be my favorite genre. And though i never expected the game to be anywhere near as good as the Halo games. I was kind of expecting it to be good enough to qualify it as the flagship fps for the GC (I don't consider MP 1/2 to be real FPS's, regardless of how utterly awesome they were).

Does anyone know if there are any exclusive "potentially" great fps's on their way to the GC before Nintendo starts shifting all their attention to the Revolution?
 
I can't believe how ignorant those of you that have completely dismissed this game, there is obvious improvement and seems like N-Space took the criticism on the chin and learned.

It may not be the best game in the world but kudos to N-Space for actually making something of this.

Not consistent with good dark movietrailer voice terminology!

Beastforum could write the script to the trailer.

Geist is an interesting concept that i guess will need to be played to know for sure.
i have seen several games that have gotten low scores but were an acquired taste and high scoring games that are an acquired taste too....

yea...which stinks, because basically 3 different people played it there and talk about how it fails as a game. But good luck optimists!

EGM also gave Coded Arms a 4.5 when the average is actually over 6.0 - with a 6.6 from Gamespot and a 7.0 from IGN. With a 5.3 from EGM, Geist could still average close to 7 - and get higher than 7's from Gamespot and IGN maybe. Higher than 7 from trusted publications is respectable.

I'm not saying it will happen. But EGM is NOT a definitive source for game reviews.

um...good example. Again, enjoy your game!

Some people like Coded Arms. Some people will like Geist. It's not cut and dry just from some EGM scores. That's all I'm saying.
 
My friend is going to buy it. He's been looking forward to it. So, I'll play it, and if it sucks, laugh at him for wasting his money. :lol
 
I usually don't make a big deal over review scores but when they're ALL that low, it probably means something. :lol
