Support NeoGAF

i wish game companies forced the directors to open up metacritic on review day (on video), like Corey Balrog did for GOW.

It was wonderful to see the emotion from Corey.....u could hear how all the hard work on long days and stress were worth it.

But i want the opposite. I want to see the ppl realizing they wasted years on a game that bombs

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Initially they had me interested because the magic looked cool. Then I heard the protagonist was from New York...

Da Fuck? What you got against new york!?

Pathetic ass shit here bro.

 

[Rush2112]

70 dollars for average triple A game. Its your brain and money lmao.

 

[remember_spinal]

Pathetic ass shit here bro.

People are weird. Like, you can just not play the game like most games that come out every year

I don’t think any studio is deliberately trying to put out bad games, enough for people to want them to suffer for it

 

[Ocean Dweller]

pass

 

[acidagfc]

Even if we pretend for a second that this dialog is not that bad and it's just a matter of taste or not being a target audience, why the fuck is nothing else happening?

It would have tolerable in a scenic walk-n-talk or just as a random traversal banter, but a fucking cutscene for this?

 

[SenjutsuSage]

This is how I see it (before playing the game mind you).
If people played FF7 remake and expected serious environmental drama... ooof boy, that game cringes hard and it's so fresh feeling Which is a weird thing to say about over 20 years old game

Imagine arguing with a sentient being like that. Calling them a "serial killer," calling them "fucking stupid" mocking the way they talk, and then it ironically mocks them right back lol. I like that kind of fun shit.

 

[eastcoastkody]

Pathetic ass shit here bro.

i've offended the sensibilities of THIS person

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Da Fuck? What you got against new york!?

 

[Roufianos]

Sounds like it is a 'Gamepass game', I think I'll enjoy playing it eventually, but will happily wait until I can play it as part of a subscription (most likely PS+ I guess).

Does it really though? Time is worthy a lot more than money. I certainly wouldn't touch this shit, even if it's free.

This might be the most pathetic thing ive seen on NeoGAF in a very very long time.

This is why devs dont want to interact with gamers.....people like this guy.
He actively want to see devs feeling bad their game isnt being received well.

I dont think ive been this disappointed in GAF before....such a low low thing to say considering there are gamedevs on this very forum.
Fucking weak.
If the game doesnt interest you....move along.

 

[El Pistolero]

This is symptomatic of SquareEnix failing to really impress outside of its well-established circuit (FF, FF MMO, Kingdom Hearts, DQ)...
Also, this could very well be it for Luminous Productions.

 

[Crayon]

Every game is somebody's favorite game! Never forget that.

Final Fantasy 15 was a hit, lest we forget.

 

[Sonik]

So another game that has a "strong female character" whose whole personality is based on acting like an unlikeable, unfunny brat and saying fuck a million times per second? Personally, I'm shocked by these news, it's like these characters are all written by the same kind of people or something

this tweet is living rent free in mind now

Go back further and stop Joss Whedon

lol, wow.. you actually checked my post history because I pointed out your weird hate-fantasy was pathetic?

I guess that is consistent.

What the writers of similar media dont get is that empowerment doesn't need to come from big shot anti-authority attitudes. But's its the easiest way to relate to teens and young adults (be edgy and cool like talking back to their parents at the dinner table).

it was an innocuous, interesting thing i thought for a half a second and posted. . U getting ur panties in a wad, is a U problem. not a me problem. Its a joke. I know ppl aren't allowed to be funny in the year of our lord 2023 anymore.
if this hurts ur feelings im sure resetera would like some new members.

the game does interest me. I have a PS5. i use mainly for exclusives. I've played the demo. I didn't hate it. Thought it was okayish but empty and boring. I haven't even read or watched 1 review yet. I just saw this thread and ppl all predicting 60s and checked the metacritic

book it.

Pretty much got it.

To be honest, it didn't sound like a joke.

 

[Sonik]

Whedon had boundaries and knew when to use that kind of dialogue and when to get serious, his characters weren't a fucking meme like most modern characters. These new morons took something Whedon did intelligently and smeared it all over modern characters like a child with a paint brush. It's not Whedon's fault modern entertainment is a joke that only boosts talentless hacks.

 

[Corndog]

Sure. It's more about that two years is a long time and who knows what can happen during that time. Development teams cease to exist, etc.

They don’t have to wait 2 years to port it. Do it now.

 

[Corndog]

Da Fuck? What you got against new york!?

It’s a dump.
Edit: He’ll never see that jacket or hat again.

 

[Ribi]

Da Fuck? What you got against new york!?

You heard me! Probably why she won't shut up!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Good predicting gaffers. Lots of you got it right in the 60s range. I had it at low 70s, so unless a big wave of 90/100 scores come in to boost the score this game will die in the 60s.

 

[Sonik]

Would like a word

It was released 10 years ago when the rot had only begun to take hold. But yeah some great writing right there, it's a shame I can't say the same about the second one

 

[Nydius]

As expected, the demo was, in fact, indicative of the final product. What a shocker. /s

I am grateful they put a demo out for us to try because it definitely helped me dodge a bullet.

It's not even the dialog that killed it for me -- I can mute that entirely if I so choose. But what I couldn't mute was the lackluster visuals, the periodic input lag, the rote combat and world design. Nothing about the demo felt like a current gen game and now that we're seeing the full, final, product I can safely say the same holds true. Put against Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok, this decidedly looks and plays like a last gen game. The only thing it has going for it is load times.

When even DF points out that there are places where it looks like a PS3 title... oof. If it's something you enjoy, more power to you. But gaming is too expensive a hobby for me to drop $70+ on this mediocrity.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Aside from the dialogue, this game just doesn't look interesting to me. I was watching some gameplay and it's large open areas with little in them and the visuals are pretty mediocre as well, so it can't get by on having beautiful environments that are nice to look at while mindlessly going from one part of the map to the other.

 

[hemo memo]

Not sure if this is a bad game or journalists pissed and rating it lower because they had to buy their own copies.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

This reminds me of Infamous Second Son.

Where’s the Amy Hennig fans at, with her amazing writing skills and all that jazz.

KICK Drunkmann out, BRING BACK AMY. She kept him in check! Woke Broke! Yah poptarts.

That is a good point. To be fair to SE, they put out a lackluster demo. Surprising since not a lot of games get demos anymore, so you would had thought they'd bury the idea and just surprise preorder gamers with the final build.

You can't say the same about the 2nd one, but millions of others did. And loved it!

If they had to buy their own copies, how would they have reviews out for launch?

What kind of lame are you? Making games is hard. Very hard. People don't go in wanting to make a terrible game.

 

[Del_X]

Is this what a Sony moneyhat gets us, now?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

You know damn well it wasn't easy for me to admit that. But don't be surprised, because I liked Crackdown 3 as well.

Crackdown 3 wasnt too bad I have to agree

But I was a sucker for the first two as well though!

 

[Moses85]

I am

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Wonder what Yong yeah thinks about all this? He's been hyping up the game a good bit up to this point.

 

[Warnen]

Watched a few vids so it’s like a cross between Zero Dawn, Second sun and a Ubisoft game but only the bad parts…

Fucking winner

Ellie’s whole personality isn’t based around saying fuck a million times though. She’s not unfunny nor a brat either.

Probably still has better writing than TLoU 2.

Oddly enough, this is the first Saints Row I played through.
