"In the land of Eunuchs, the One-Ball is king"

A 90+ for an Xbox exclusive isn't the same as 90+ for a PS exclusive.

The bar is a lot higher on Playstation.

That's not a phrase. Not one that makes sense anyway Indulging it though, would eunuchs value one testicle if it was the land of Eunuchs? They would be seen as a freak, not a king... Like someone with six fingers.

Moving on. So if Xbox gets something 90+ it's not actually 90+ because reasons. Gotcha. Just like Xbox doesn't have any exclusives anyway because they release on PC. (this doesn't seem like anyone wants a fair fight to me...)

Still amusing to see how tortured some people feel by any sort of positivity towards Microsoft - it is truly, truly bizarre. Just live your lives...

Review threads on GAF, are sometimes way more entertaining than the actual games.

 

[Pelta88]

Maybe you’re blind I guess? 40 minutes of walking when your own link shows puzzles and combat. Nothing more I can tell you.

Not embracing the walking talking sim at all, there’s a difference between one every now and again versus nothing but. And it’s not a Sony or MS thing, as you can clearly see I also criticize Gears of War, which became too walking sim for my tastes as well.

Now I will stick to my word and stop replying to the clowns

 

[demigod]

We get it, you claim to not be a fanboy yet try and compare a game where you press the analog stick up and a game where you literally connect an open world together with all sorts of traversal and combat mechanics

The pejorative “walking simulator” only has actual meaning in the context of a game like HB2

Like I said, fake neutral.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

[FunkMiller]

What's the next Xbox exclusive coming out that I can shit on?

Shit on it on PC instead. Higher frame rate.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I don't get all the hostility towards the game, and even more so towards fans of the game.

 

[Revolutionary]

Graphically the game looks great but the gameplay (if you can call it that) almost seems like an afterthought. I just watched a streamer go through a 10-minute sequence of running from yellow paint to yellow paint. There was also a combat portion that seemed to be more of a QTE than anything.

It's a shame because I used to love Ninja Theory's work (Enslaved is a forgotten gem, don't @ me), but I couldn't force myself to finish Hellblade 1 and this one doesn't look any better.

is 81 on MC. the game is great

 

[FoxMcChief]

If it feels better for you then we can say that.. my god phils balls, you are on another level.

But you paid for a month of game pass to try and win an argument.

GHG and Ass of Can Whooping both choose violence. The difference is that one wakes up every day and bathes in senseless, but entertaining, bloodshed. Perfectly content in his depravity. The other, well, he prefers the long game. Carefully positioning his weapons and waiting for the perfect moment to utterly obliterate any fool that crossed his path. You may not love them, but you will respect them.

 

[Klayzer]

What are you implying?

 

[mayham2199]

Yet she loved the first game so much she gave it 10/10 when it was excluded to Sony.

It’s basically the same game but more eye candy, just…

MrMattyPlays also loved the first and didnt like this one. Let me guess another Sony pony?

Is this the real HB2 game? Find ways to discredit anyone who doesn't think the game is good? The real puzzle HB2 was hiding all along.

 

[Varteras]

What are you implying?

Clearly, he's saying we all need to get out and exercise. At least that's what my insecurities are telling me...

 

[FoxMcChief]

Exactly my point

At least the photo mode only cost you the one month of game pass that you just signed up for.

 

[Maddoxswe]

But you paid for a month of game pass to try and win an argument.

Of course i did FoxMcPhillsBalls

 

[ungalo]

So far i find the game to be entertaining. Mostly thanks to the visuals though.

But as i feared, the story goes in the wrong direction. It even hurts the story of the first game in my opinion.

Everything that could be viewed as symbolic and linked to the personal struggle of Senua is now explained as part of this fantasy world and background.

To me they should not have made a second game.

 

[Maddoxswe]

Yes it was an expensive photo mode, should be f2p

If you really want to go that route, in the land of the Eunuchs, only the one-ball is fertile.

Moving on. So if Xbox gets something 90+ it's not actually 90+ because reasons. Gotcha. Just like Xbox doesn't have any exclusives anyway because they release on PC. (this doesn't seem like anyone wants a fair fight to me...)

No, it is still 90+. But like I said, different standards.

[JTCx]

I’m not even 40 minutes in and I’ve already fought like eight enemies

Blatant ass lie. LOL.

Brand ambassadors out here constantly cooking lies, on par for what the brand represents.

 

[NonPhixion]

Damn 3+ hours of cutscenes? In a 5 hour “game”? Sounds interactive and neat

Best part of this thread is that screenshot of that guy saying Bleeding Edge is amazing. Hahahahah

 

[CherryFalls]

I don't get all the hostility towards the game, and even more so towards fans of the game.

A lot of us are annoyed with how low the benchmark for quality of games is getting, and what's worse is the people who support and enable them by thinking they're good. A few of us still care about this creative medium

I don’t think they are cut scenes, more like areas where you just move the character while a scene plays out around you. Kind of like the original. I could be wrong though, I’m only a couple hours in.

Blatant ass lie. LOL.

Brand ambassadors out here constantly cooking lies, on par for what the brand represents.

Luckily people have been kind enough to post walkthrough videos. They are not good at math but maybe you’ll fare better, friend.

It's not a lie (fuck Microsoft though).

Call and they come running

 

[FoxMcChief]

What's the next Xbox exclusive coming out that I can shit on?

Call of Duty?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Call of Duty?

He said exclusive

 

[Mercenary09]

I honestly think it's absurd that the average for this is in the 80s while something like The Order was shit on by critics. Amazing graphics, great story, yet all critics could talk about was the shallow gameplay and the full price/short length. Now this is acceptable for Hellblade 2? GTFO.

 

[Maddoxswe]

Call of Duty?

You know it's multiplat right ? So i dont even need to sub to game pass, it will save me giving 9$ to prove a point. Right ?

 

[adamsapple]

Of course i did FoxMcPhillsBalls

You’re the one giving money to Phil. May want to check what’s in your mouth. And it only cost ya $20. Phil thanks you.

Yes of course, you are right. How could i be so dumb. Well, lesson is learned.

 

[Gambit2483]

Reading some reviews this could be a great game on mushrooms.

Don't do that to yourself...trust me

 

[GHG]

It's not a lie (fuck Microsoft though).

It is, there are just 2 fights in the opening 40 minutes.

 

[FoxMcChief]

You just love giving that money to Phil.

Phil Tax, either costs you a month of game pass or a purchase on PS5.

Yes of course, you are right. How could i be so dumb. Well, lesson is learned.

That’s an issue only you can work on. Maybe stopping the waste of money to look less like an idiot online (which you failed at miraculously) is a good start.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

It's not a lie (fuck Microsoft though).

It is when you count all the enemies as one fight and also remove all the other non “just hold L” elements.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It is, there are just 2 fights in the opening 40 minutes.

Walk faster!

 

[XXL]

I've watched it, everyone else can see it. What you say is not there.

But I'm not surprised you have a warped view of reality considering you decided this game was going to be great back in 2019 despite stating you don't like this type of game in the very same breath.

Thumbs up and smiley face right back at ya, glad you're now embracing the walking talking sim.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Looks like the day 1 peak will be just under 4000

Yes master, what have i done trying to prove something to a green rat. I take it all back. And i will make a refund on my subscription just to make you happy.
