@Madder128 totally. When I actually played the game for myself I realized the game wasn’t as bad as the reviews showed. Definitely dated but not THAT bad.
@BAN I’ve actually played it for a few hours and it’s really not that bad of a game. I can name worse tbh. If anything the gameplay is dated but it isn’t necessarily a bad game.
@Scoopz I’ve been playing it all morning and it’s really not that bad. Glad I didn’t listen to this review to be totally honest.
And also that’s not how game publishing works, if you don’t support they’ll never get another chance. I’m all for boycotting ***** publishers doing ***** things but if one of my favorite developers makes a so-so game I’m going to support him so that I might see future projects from him. Nothing wrong with giving a game dev feedback and letting them know how you feel while still supporting them.
After playing this game for a solid 3 hours I have to say it’s really not THAT bad. I didn’t play on switch so I didn’t experience the technical issues but I’d give the game a 6.5. Game is definitely a bit dated by today’s standards but it’s also not a game you wouldn’t want to finish (like the way I felt about 06’ sonic the hedgehog)
If the game goes on deep sale I’d recommend giving it a try.
@PortablexombieV2 my commenting is inconsequential. It does not help brand awareness nor would it have anything to do with whether a site reports on a game and if a game stays or goes off the market. Please stop.
@PortablexombieV2 clicking or not clicking is inconsequential. Game goes away when people stop playing. Epic isn’t keeping games alive off brand awareness.
@Snatcher I don’t have to hate something to call it how it is. It was a decent pve defense game but it’s battle royale iteration is trash. But these days it’s more about addicting formulas than actually making good games.
And like I said it’s fine if people like that, I’m not hating on them I just can’t wait until the wave is over and people have moved on to another game.
@Audiogore0733 no it wouldn’t. Me taking 5 seconds to type one sentence about my personal opinion won’t do anything. And honesty I don’t care. I’m just saying I can’t wait till it’s gone. That’s all.
@CheekyZelda what’s your damage? It’s ok for you like it just as it’s ok for me not to. Like I said not judging anyone just can’t wait until it’s gone. Tbh I can’t wait until this entire f2p moba-battle royale era of gaming has died down. Not gonna happen any time soon but it will. There’s always a new wave.
I think by the time the switch version arrives epic should have gotten cross play and universal accounts figured out so whatever we get now can be easily carried over. I hope at least
@Bizaster I made the mistake of arguing last of us shouldn’t have gotten goty over anything in the ps5 Reddit and got killed but honestly, that game had nowhere near the the mindshare that games like animal crossing and ghost of Tsushima had. I only know 5 people in my large freinds list who’s even played last of us 2.... game dropped with such little fanfare.
I feel like there would be less cheating if they weren’t nickel and diming people in these games. For Pokémon go it’s just gotten worse with remote raiding. Either way if ya wanna cheat ya gotta legitimately spoof ya location, using altered apps is not the way to go.
I’m so glad this series saw a resurgence. I haven’t played the original since the snes rom translation in the early 2000’s but on top of that I was able to play a remake as well. Even got an art book and other merch. I would love to see a remaster of legend of mana, the last good mana IMO
@Friendly I never said it was acceptable I said I’m not surprised and that’s just the landscape of AAA development . A lot of money and time and marketing went into cyberpunk and obviously it needed more time but they afford to delay it any longer and I get that.
But The dev promised to fix these issues fairly soon so it’s fair enough, so Im not gonna exaggerate and throw negative comments everywhere, because it’s actually a really good game even with all the bugs and features they didn’t have time to add(again, unless you’re on legacy hardware)
I’m not saying it’s appropriate but I understand. I’d rather have what we got rather than nothing at all because like I said, I’m having a great time playing it (minus bugs)
@Friendly it’s more like , so the game doesn’t work and a week later the devs promise to fix the worst of it within 2 months. Ok that’s fair. Like if they say they have 2 huge patches coming up, i think I’ll reserve all the exaggerating Criticisms for a later date.
Either way it doesn’t matter, once they touch up the game it’ll be even better than before and that’s not a bad thing.
@Altina every video you guys link just proves my point, a lot of the things left out of the game as described in concept art and prerelease footage was stuff they didn’t have time to finish and had to cut out. The rest is just technical issues that can be fixed. And I never said we 100% got what they were pushing to us but let’s not act like we didn’t get a decent game as is.
I’d still give it an 8 even with the issues (on non legacy hardware that is) as I went into the game with no large expectations and I’m still playing the game and having a blast. I’ll even do another build on hard mode when they finally fix all the bugs and add some of the things they wanted to add initially (which we all know is going to come)
@Friendly all that video showed were technical issues and some questionable game design. And yea, sure the base ps4 and xbone were next to unplayable in a lot of ways, those will be A bit more playable when the next big patch hits. And honestly I’m not too surprised it came out that way. If I was one of those gamers I wouldn’t be running out for a refund tbh, if the devs are going to fix it, fine. That’s just the state of gaming these days, especially when you have a brand new ambitious AAA title.
@RupeeClock i dunno about no mans sky, I saw plenty of videos complaining about multiplayer and yet they never promised gamers multiplayer. A lot of people were unrealistically anticipating more then they were going to get and then blaming the dev for it. Like the game no mans sky was at day one, aside from the graphical issues was pretty much what I expected. The game it is now is something I figured it would have organically evolved to be even without all the backlash
@Friendly honestly most of that video was technical limitations and graphical issues. A lot of which will be fixed. I think the main culprit of that was too many platforms, receive management issues and unforeseen issues during development l. For the most part I got about 80 percent of what they said the game was going to be and it’s very enjoyable. I wouldn’t say I was very “deceived”. Unless you’re playing on a base ps4/xbone
I’ll give you Peter, he was def good at lying about his titles, but I’ll say no mans sky wasn’t that embellished. Cyberpunk just has technical issues but is just about the game they described.
@COVIDberry if you haven’t lost a Jedi character In the first Star Wars mmo Then we can’t talk. Like I said, if you feel it’s a grind and the game doesn’t respect your time you can leave, thats a you problem. Maybe the games aren’t for you. You can always find a new game.
@progx go play origins or odyssey, the rpg mechanic really made the game a bit more enjoyable. As much as I loved the combo system in syndicate. Very refreshing
