What? You better listen to the guy from that show Lost when he says the score is inflated because reasons!

But it is inflated.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

But it is inflated.

So play it twice like that tuna dude said to.

 

[PropellerEar]

Just played what felt like a 2 hour cave level that made me want to kill myself. the level is basically walking in a cave lighting up the path and then walking some more. maybe 3 combat scenarios and they all play the same so not like it matters. Not to mention the constant fucking talking in your ear through out those 2 hours. and i mean constant. literally every second there is someone talking. every single mother fucking second.

And all of that inner dialogue is trash. its extremely poorly written. it basically boils down to this.
Voice 1: She's brave.
Voice 2: She's not.

Voice 1: Go back.
voice 2: Keep going.

Voice 1: Sky is blue.
voice 2: fuck you.

voice 1: its dark.
voice 2: its bright you cunt.

It's like this ALL the time. Literally every second. Not every other second, on every single second these two cunts are talking over each other.

I dont care if this is what schizophrenia is like. It is not fun. It is bad writing. Whoever thought this was good writing needs to be fired and then sent to epstein's island. The writing deserves an fucking razzie. Level designer of that level deserves to be laid off or forced to go work on elder scrolls online levels just so he sees what basic level design 101 from the 50s looks like.

Seriously, fuck the constant whining and constant walking. I hope phil shuts this studio down because this isnt video games. this is torture.

Promotion back to SlimySnake from being demoted to SlimyWorm.

OPERATION SAVE A STUDIO.

 

[Mr Moose]

People who jump right back in to play it a 2nd time are masochists.
How do I check my playtime? That seemed way longer than 5 hours.
Sound is good, lighting is good, game in general is nice looking but has some issues. The water does not react properly, if at all. You can jump off a ledge into deep water and it won't splash, you might get a ripple sometimes. The DoF is a bit meh, it doesn't focus fast enough on the characters most of the time, making it look blurry in cutscenes.
The gameplay is mostly walking with shit puzzles and a few fights (always 1v1).
Not my type of game, I didn't care about any of the characters and I don't even know what the story is about.

Incredible. Just look at the tarsal bones, the talus and calcaneus. The fine curve of her metatarsals. And god, those perfectly shaped toes from the base to the tips. Absolutely divine

So what you are saying is ... 10/10 ?

Another fake neutral gets bopped.

yeah but there’s been like half a dozen others in this thread alone

I had a post going about why I think this game has garnered so much dislike, but I erased that shit because the thread is far more entertaining than both the game and my post.

This thread is the gaming version of a Springer episode lmfao.

at least it’s not Maury

would Hellblade II be better received if the voices in her head were the Muses?

They're already 3rd party.

I was going by what you said in this post.

"And they are now forced to go third-party"

Sounds future tense but whatever.

And they are now forced to go third-party essentially because those "GOTY contenders" are not making enough money. And they STILL don't sell as well as Nintendo games that get made with a tiny fraction of the budget.

Just pure facts.

 

[Klayzer]

I can see why you might think that.

To much. Lol

 

[DavidGzz]

Cause they are providing experiences and one is better than the other. Pretty simple. Bringing up a worse game, on your fave piece of plastic, and claiming it's better while spewing nonsense like a game that has all the elements of an action game is just one big QTE and then some shit about Vaseline is peak fanboy.

"Fave piece of plastic" works both ways just like most things. There really isn't much difference in attacking a game because it isn't on you "fave piece of plastic" than defending a game because it is. Would the people attacking the game be attacking it if MS did not buy Ninja Theory? Would the people defending the game be defending it had they not?

I played it and liked it. He's the one bringing up a game on team blue in a thread about a game on team green and trying to tell us it's better despite the general consensus being the opposite. Then essentially calling it ugly while the consensus is that's it has the best graphics of any game so far. Seems like fanboy activity to me.

I bet he wasn't doing that in Hellblade 1 threads cause ding ding ding, it's on PS4.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

team green and trying to tell us it's better despite the general consensus being the opposite.

Just because it reviewed better does not mean it actually is better.

If you polled most gamers that have played both, I guarantee it would be far more in the favor of The Order

You mean those that pity the position MS is in and felt afraid to knock it points? Or those that gave it higher remarks just because it’s not a full price game? Or expectations were just much higher for The Order given Sony’s record?

There’s lots of factors that can lead to a game reviewing higher and not being objectively better

How do you explain actual gamers who bought the game reviewing it higher than the critics? But that is pretty good Fanboy mentality that if something is reviewed well on a competing platform it's because of pity or it's been paid by Microsoft. Also if you don't diss Xbox and actually enjoy games from the Xbox games studios that makes you a fanboy too. Tinfoil hats for everyone!

 

[DavidGzz]

Yeah because I went in thinking it was going to be s*** and then I actually played it and enjoyed it. My thoughts line up with someone like Karak and most reviewers, that makes me a fanboy.

Also one major difference is that I love PlayStation games too. Been playing them for decades. Ghost of Tsushima is MUCH better than HB2.

Which gamers? The number that have played HB2 is far less. Smaller sample sizes aren’t as statistically significant

You were the one pointing fingers at fanboys because of the "fave piece of plastic". Don't call me a clown when I turn that around on you. If you enjoyed it then that is all you need you say.

 

[DavidGzz]

Nearly 2,000 different gamers giving it 87% on Steam isn't significant, okay. A couple dozen on Neogaf is much more telling.

Maybe quit tag teaming up on me whenever someone brings up an unrelated game, especially when the criticisms are nonsense. He can't handle that people like it and are giving it great scores, tears coming down his face while he claims that a worse game is better and that we should retroactively give it a higher score.

I’m not shilling for the order like you are HB2. It was a disappointment.

But yeah, the story and lore is way better than HB2, playing a mental patient with daddy issues

Yes, all the reviews are shills because of fear or pity or whatever nonsense you’re spinning currently.

Idc about your opinion on the story of either game, just so long as you’re aware it’s just your opinion.

It reaches a point when one has to wonder if they're getting paid to shill so vehemently.
It's like his livelihood depends on it

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Mustered some courage and played till first boss on beach.

Liking the combat. So far game is not feeling like a slog like part 1. Fights are snappy. Perfect parry an enemy and its over. In part 1 they used to last much longer wearing you out.

I do feel it needed many more fights cause it feels good. Boss fight was badass.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Some of the complaints are true but I must say it doesn't take away from the experience. Game was great. The whispers in her head are excessive though. Those bitches are even talking over the dialogues between characters.

Boss fight was amazing. The animations are superb. I still think I prefer the combat in the original… I don’t like the emphasis on parry and focus here. Probably the only thing I like about the original more.

You have some more badass fights ahead.

I have played very little. But the pacing here feels completely opposite of the original.

Part 1 was a difficult game to finish despite short 10 hrs length. At that time I felt it was intentional from developers to let you have a harrowing experience.

This one, so far pacing feels very fast, something like Arkham City. A couple of sessions and game will be over. Will see after finishing which one I like better.

I’ll tell you one thing for nothing - if James Sawyer Ford doesnt agree with an Xbox game review, he never stops whining like a little bitch about it, huh? I was kind of hoping you were still lost trawling the board for Starfield threads to shit up!

Bastard has ruined my favourite character in Lost.

Exactly! Like man, who just keeps going about a game they don't like. Just over and over with his defenders too.
