Ok buddy, I bet you could get a job as a Disney attack dog, blaming and attacking their audience whenever one of their big budget turds fails at the box office. Adios.

I blame their poor sales on releasing a video of the gameplay

What do you expect? That is modern society in a nutshell, at least here in the U.S.

Well yes that’s one thing it has been a fucking good year for games but yours just didn’t stand out and was rightly compared and put aside the likes of Forspoken
So while it’s true that no one predicted just how good BG3 was gonna be, this game would’ve lost out to at least 15-20 others this year as it just wasn’t good enough

Your game is 5 out of 10 at best. but you have the nerve to say and not even think of a second that a Builders gate game not going to be successful ???? a Builders gate game ???
Man you should be fired for that comment alone + whatever crap mismanagement you did during development

BG3 showed that gamers are ready to buy good old videogames (based on solid gameplay) even released on non-Nintendo hardware. I am personally fed up of those story driven cinematic "games".

This take is throwing thousands of years of art under the bus. What is mise-en-scène...
If I only saw this trailer, I would 100% agree with you. This trailer does not do the actual game justice, in my opinion.

It was a solid game, better than I expected. Not groundbreaking or anything but I enjoyed my time with it. I had more fun with it than I did FFXVI.

which one of these games is godfall again?You said it, generic.
Here are pictures of 6 different games, and yet it could be the same game because the artstyle is generic af.
And these are just the games I remember now, I'm sure there are more examples.
Can you tell me which one is which?
I really tried to like this game and gave it a fair chance. But an update broke DLSS making the game blurry and I couldn't be bothered with it anymore. It is competing with outstanding experiences, so if your game is not perfectly polished on day one, and neither outstanding from a gameplay perspective, don't expect me to waste my time with it or recommend it to people.

I played some of the demo last night and I'm convinced pictures 1, 2 and 6 are Immortals of Aveum.You said it, generic.

Anyway most of my demo time was spent on the phone because I couldn't skip the boring cutscenes. The opening level's follow-the-character design was maddening. Assassin's Creed 2 did the same opening ten thousand times better.
Also I don't understand the setup of the second level. The Matrix Revolutions woman personally trains me but there's no sense of journey, time or setting, it's like "here's another UE5 demo go shoot stuff". Lichdom Battlemage made more sense 10 years ago.
Almost dropped my phone when I glanced at the cutscene and saw Michael Kirkbride wrote this garbage. His mushrooms and LSD stash must have been low for this one.

I picked it up from Amazon here in Australia during their black friday sale. Cost around $39. Played for about an hour. So far it's not bad! Cringy dialogue but i'm not really listening much to the game as I'm listening to podcasts but the game plays well enough. For the price I paid, I'm content.

I legit blame the name and the fact it wasn’t multiplayer. Looks like an interesting take on a FPS.

Am I playing the same game as you guys? I picked the PS5 version up on sale and played the first few chapters and so far I've enjoyed it. Was expecting worse after all the negativity surrounding the game to be honest. The fact that it is FPS makes it infinitely better than another generic TPS and one of the main reasons I wanted to check it out.
