>everyone dogpiling IGN for their Mouse P.I. reviewYou love to see it.
Crimson shills, your game flopped
where do these legacy videogame review companies even get revenue or funding to still be operating? Im super nostalgic to the old days of videogame review magazines or websites from the 90s and 2000s but in addition to them being outdated forms of getting news, we all ignore them now because they have been giving super biased bullshit reviews for over a decade now. literally how the fuck do they still exist? do they just get free money from some other company?
>>737321035everyone talking about the review and not the game tells you everything you need to know about it
>>737321035Reviews mean squat. What matters is sales. How is this game selling? If it sells badly then game over.And how successful can a game that's reliant on Mickey Mouse imagery going to be? This isn't even Mickey's most recognized design which is flesh face color Mickey.
>>737321035it’s a really midgame 6/10 is very fair
People still go on IGN? Why?
>objectively correct in every way>gaymers still throw a hissy fit
I just made a return; I don't see the justification for paying €30 for it.
>>737321035What happened? Is it as funny as that journo sucking at Cuphead?
>>737322147Retard that doesn't like boomer shooters is mad that a boomer shooternis a boomer shooter.
>>737322147Their complaints are almost all complete nonsense that boil down to them wanting the game to be something it never pitched itself as.
>>737322147He didn't appreciate the cheese references.
>>737322147The review is terrible but the game is still mediocre
>>737322147A review that said>everything is reference jokes about cheese, other media, or it being a video game and that gets really old>it doesn't really take any advantage of the noir detective or 1930s theming>the gameplay is good, but the weapons can feel off because of bad audio design and normal difficulty is way too easyand>the game tries to make you care about the story while not handling storytelling well at all
this game is like the definition of a meme gamethe artstyle markets itself, doesn't matter if the game is mediocre which by literally all accounts I've heard it is
>>737321035Consensus is it's an 8/10 game, nothing ground breaking but fun for what it is. Reddit trannys are upset about it for some reason.
I'm guessing this dogpiling has less to do with the game itself and more with the incompetence of the reviewer?
>>737321035the game isnt good but the reasons IGN gave were wrong
>>737321035>the very loud furrydom is dogpiling ign for justified reviewftfy. the fervent defense of atlyss and calling it phantasy star online was just as cringe.
>>737323604>didn't even play the game>is an IGN shillHow about you kill yourself tranny
>>737322478which is the exact same problem that crimson desert reviewers had. they expected a story rpg, not an action sandbox.
>>737321035Aside from the visual style, what does it do to deserve more than a 6? Does it have fantastic level design? Is the gunplay exceptionally good? Is the musical score a masterpiece? Does it have a memorable story? Does it have the replayability to keep you coming back for weeks? Or maybe it really is just an okay shooter that happens to have a unique visual style and nothing more?
>>737324235it looks like they fed doom to a cuphead ai generator so it deserves a 11
>>737321035Pretending to be angry over the opinions of individual critics is the major reason that video games will never be seen as art.
>>737324235while relatively simple and straightforward, it is well put together and fun. it isnt bogged down with overly complex nonsense in a vain attempt at "spicing things up". it does what it does well, and without real problems. the voice acting is actually great. the script with its thematic puns and such is endearing. the level design is engaging. i dont know about "fantastic" or what would qualify as such, but it isnt dull. personally, i dont find noir stories to be particularly memorable or special, but this story seems to be pretty standard to me. i find it to be a great package full of well meshed contrast. i give it an 8 personally, but even on a cynical day i wouldnt go below 7. a 6 is absurd, and doubly so for the retarded reasons ign gave.
>>737321035Mauser C96 didn't have detachable mags like that.
>>737321035The review itself was just another example that critics (and the gaming audience in general) don't actually give a shit about gameplay, they only care about strory and characters. At the end of the day they really just want to watch movies.
>>737321609>where do these legacy videogame review companies even get revenue or funding to still be operating?clickbait and checks from publishers. Their purpose is to market games
>>737324235score inflation is a thing now.1-5 scores are considered absolutely worthless.6 = F7 = D8 = C9 = B10 = Ataking score inflation into account, Mouse PI is a 7.5
>>737326374This post is just another example that /v/tards (and 4channellers in general) don't actually know anything about the things they bitch about, they just want to culture war.The review literally talked about the gameplay being fine, if a bit too easy with a habit of locking you in wave rooms, and that there was no actual detective content in a noir detective game.
>>737324235The problem with the review isn't with the score they gave it, it's with the reasons they gave for the score.
>>737326254It's not a Mauser C96, it's a Mouser C96
>>737321115>Crimson Desert derangement syndrome
>>737326374You're retarded. Lowering a score for the story when the game focuses upon the story and writing is valid. It's not pacman, games aren't just gameplay. It's funny that you retarded morons who never play games defend this reddit chungus game where the villains are nazis persecuting the poor jews.
>from the developers that played Cuphead
>>737322147Completely different reasons>Cuphead was seen as "too hard" by a guy that couldn't get past the damn tutorial>Mouse PI was given a score of 6/10, but the reviewer cited reasons such as "too much cheese" and not being a true film noir when it was always advertised as a shooterStill, it's funny that these two games are ones causing journalists to rage
>>737321035>LEAVE THE TRIPLE-I GAME RICH ENOUGH TO HIRE TROY BAKER ALONEI have genuine astroturf fatigue
>>737321035Why do you give attention to journalists? I've seen more threads about the review than the game itself.
>>737324235it's not even unique a decade ago
>>737322147They threw in the whole retarded "your guy is a hero but he murders hundreds of people and should be behind bars" bullshit.
>>7373270794chan is 90% meta-commentary, with 10% actual original discussion.
>>737321609>>737321035Cool so you dumbasses are giving them tons of cash via twitter engagement. I guess theyll do more bullshit in the future so you dumbasses will keep "owning them"
>>7373220186/10 would be slightly above average on a 10 point scale. So a good game.
>>737321035Why do people get mad when a game they like gets a low score from a review outlet? It's literally just someone's opinion on a game, if anything it makes IGN more legit to give a below average score
>>737321035IGN deserves all the shit they are getting, but it really does look kinda mid.
>>737322147IGN said that an okay game is okay.Popular e-celeb who so happened to really like the game used this as an opportunity to boost it's subpar performance and shat on the review for not calling it a masterpiece.
>>737327762on a 10 point scale a 6 would be above average not below.
>>737327838Not going by modern review standards. Everything below 8 might as well be a 1.
>>737327821Which eceleb?
>>737326971have you played the game? the cheese jokes are the only thing it has, mice drink cheese instead of alcohol, there are cheeseleggers, every expletive is replaced with a variety of cheese; it really does become trite fast.
>>737328068Then why do you pay attention to people so fucking stupid they cant use a 10 point scale?
>2006 - game journalist gives mediocre game a 6/10 based on their subjective opinion, is fired for stepping on the toes of the massive advertising push of said game, gamers unite behind his right to have his own opinion>2016 - gamers unite epic style to fight for ethics in game journalism following years of blatant cronyism >2026 - gamers unite epic style to collectively lynch a random game journalist for giving a mediocre game with a colossal marketing push behind it a 6/10 based on their subjective opiniongamers should just all collectively kill themselves at this point
>>737328218>have you played the game?it has 2.5k English reviews on Steamno one is playing the game
>>737327663Slightly above average is still mid
>>737321609Blackrock
>>737328359As an unc thats been around since 2007 I can assure you that epic gamer lynch mobs have always existed because autism and spergs have always existed. People went absolutely mental at bioware over dragon age 2 in 2011
I think the game is funSure it's not something crazy innovative or insane, but its a nice single person doom clone with some detective elements and a neat coat of paint. It's worth the $30 imo, but pirate it if you want.
Is there 34 yet
>>737327272No one tell them about [Prototype]
>>737321609A lot of IGN's money comes from linking affiliate discounts on shit.They're not horrible deals either.t. person that actually uses IGN on a regular basis
>>737321609Where do you think all the AAA budgets go?
>>737326717Why do people get triggered when IGN is right? I happened to play both, and while I think 6 is too harsh for Mouse, it's definitely not more than 7. Remember that they gave Elden Ring the 10 it deserved, so this selective bias is pathetic. They know when to rate good games good.
>>737321687Pretty much.
>defending a small humble indie gameVery noble of you r/gaming. Only 400 devs in a polish sweat shop worked on mouse pi for 3 years for a publisher who is a partner with acti/blizzYou sure stuck it to those evil AAA corporations. Keep up the good work comrades.
Is journalist review score tracking and parroting the precursor to concurrent player count obsessed Brazilians?
>>737329574see >>737326628
>>737329353Prototype ends with Zeus knowing he can't change the past or the people who've been killed but wanting to be a better person than Alex Mercer
>>737328218>have you played the game?Yes, and I beat it. I didn't have a problem with it, but everyone has a tolerance level for puns I guess.The game definitely has its flaws, though. If i were in charge, I'd patch in the following at least:>ability to replay levels to get all the collectibles>New Game Plus>improved enemy AI and weapon balance>general performance/bug fixes
6/10 is the equivalent of raping the dev's dog in zoom zoomie's minds
>>737329948Pretty much. Zoomers and libs are going crazy over this scoring because their precious ADHD shooty game got a decent rating
>>737329605The playercount thing more seems to come from gacha fags, where if a gacha doesn't have enough retards dumping money into it everyone gets rugpulled since there's no actual game.I think metacritic fags are still around and still demonstrating nobody should take them seriously.
>>737328075mo1st "if you dont believe in trans rights and abortion stop watching my shit" kritikal
>>737329884I'm playing through it right now and couldn't care less about the cheese puns. The constant references are what stop me in my tracks. They're almost always completely out of nowhere. The potion seller one was so forced.The biggest flaw for me though is the fact that the opening hours of the game are godawful because of the terrible starter weapons and having so many crappy boss fights. The game gets a million times better after you get the tommy gun.
>>737327821>and shat on the review for not calling it a masterpiece.He literally said 6/10 would have been a perfectly valid review if they criticized the gameplayThe problem with it is the nonsense they chose to criticize
>>737324104>the reasons IGN gave were wrong>this is somehow shilling for IGNare you being retarded on purpose or what
>>737329574IGN sometimes rates shit games better than they deserve because of political reasons, but very rarely do they rate good games bad for the same thing. A good game is a good game, and they generally respect that. If there is a game you were looking forward to and was rated like shit, it's shit. If a game looks like shit and they're raving about it, have caution.
>>737330272Seek professional mental help
>eceleb says review bad>internet says review badthey have too much power, unironically. Imagine if it were the reverse and Charlie decided to say "yeah nah the game is dogshit", they would get overwhelmingly negative reviews on steam overnight.
>>737330303Agreed about the tommy gun. That and the Dip gun became my go-tos for the rest of the game, and I upgraded them fully as soon as I could
>>737330842Dragon's Dogma 2's review score tanked on launch day because of retarded ecelebs saying it has microtransactions, is pay to win and the items can't be obtained through normal gameplay. While Capcom's abuse of DLC items is scummy, those ecelebs never bothered to campaign about that with MH, RE or DMC. It's a mob.
>>737321035>dogpilingratpiling
>>737326254There is a variant of the C96 called the "Shnelfuer" which has detachable mags and selective fire since it has full auto fire along with semi auto.
>>737321035It reminded me of the YMS review of In Time where he had an autism attack every time they made a time pun.
>>737321035Ironically I have watched Ela and Dist and moon2moon play it and all of them have said 7/10 is about right for this game.
>>737326254the chink bootleg ones did
>>737321035>>737322147>>737328359>>737331525The game is not even good. Name 1 interesting mechanic it has. Yeah, exactly. It's a boomer shooter with zero fun and zero difficulty. The cartoon shit artstyle clashes because the backgrounds are generic 3D models just made monochrome while objects like barrels and guns are toony. And the toony characters don't mix with the 3D backgrounds. They were too lazy to animate like Cuphead, where the backgrounds AND characters are cartoony style.
>>737321035If I were the devs, I would have forced the whole environment into cel-shading, and drew as many hand-drawn cells for each and every character at each and every angle, instead of facing the camera the entire time.But of course, they only made this game because Cuphead exists and wanted to do an FPS.
>>737321035best advertising the game could get, and it seemed like it was already doing well to begin with
>>737322147They only played the first level of the game, before aliens and demons enter the picture, making it extra obvious the entire Noir scaffolding isn't to be taken seriously (before that's, it's 'just' VERY VERY obvious, not ABSURDLY obvious).Then they made an article with criticism for the the first mission/level of the game, and said it's sad the first mission was not Noir enough. And the game was a bad Noir. Absolutely dismissing the very in your nose caricature of the Noir trope in the game, that tells you, in your face, you're not supposed to take it seriously (aliens and demons). But no, that subtext was *too* subtle for IGN. Also no words on the second mission or the rest of the game. So they literally just played the first mission, said "it isn't the Noir I like" and just posted an article.Also, by the first mission alone: you have only two guns out of twenty, no upgrades for your guns, so basically they just completed the prologue, sharted an article, and were really proud of what they wrote. Typical IGN incompetence.
I saw a review on YouTube today, and the guy says the gameplay is decent but the story which ruins the experience is pure Reddit.
>>737332269I haven't played it, you autistic retard
I don't really give a shit about this boomer shooter, but IGN's credibility is on par with those tabloids that used to claim michael jackson is an alien
it looks like a game for toddlers who gives a shit
>>737326552Not enough people on /v/ talking about reviews comprehend this very simple fact. These reviews don’t exist in a platonic vacuum. 6 is a loaded score, really the equivalent of a 60 on a test. It’s a failure by the standards major reviewing bodies have set.
What the fuck is a boomer shooter
>>737333226google it retard
>>737332520To be fair the game never really evolves past the first hour.
>>737332269ok IGN how about you just fuck off and take the L
>>737329574>IGN>rightlmao
>>737333285I did. Don't get it. Is Half-Life a boomer shooter?
>>737333467nigger
>>737321035>giving any credence to IGN in current year
>>737326552S = 10/9A= 8/7B=6/5C=4/3D=2/1Fixed it
>>737332546well you can pirate it, i played about 30 minutes and it was literally that meme if x game was AAA, some girl boss yapping in your ear and the protag making quirky reddit chungus quips every 15 seconds
>>737329574If a game is shit and IGN put a bad number because black people, racism, Democrat policies, PS3 being too costly for poor black people in California to own, because of Trump, and also extra racism:The fact that they noted the game "correctly" is by far less important that the fact they are complete retards who should be laughed at, at every point, at every cross, at every stakes, until they can't show themselves out of their houses because small children will laugh at them. And when people ask their mother about why, their mothers would just say "shh, he's a IGN journalist" and both would laugh again.
>>737322147There are literal tranny faggot nigger games that IGN would look over and call it a masterpiece with its cringey fucking millennial writing and horrible dialogue "WELL I'M NON BINARY."Yet, IGN are the same cretins that would brownnose a game like Mouse P.I. for having too many cheese jokes and not being serious enough as per the Noir genre.'Something is completely off, and it has to do with IGN not getting it's due.
>>737333226Any modern shooter that isn't CoD I guess?
>No one actually saying why IGN gave it a 6/10.Why did they give it a 6/10? Is is because the game isn't actually good or because it's somehow racist and supports Trump?
>>737335593I'm going to keep it real with you, I only showed up because someone mentioned ign and I'm pretty sure everyone here is beyond aware that the opinions of both e-celebs and gay journos has no factual basis and any sort of assigned score is ultimately meaningless.
>>737335593multiple people said why.go back to kiwifarms
i don't know what any of that means
>>737333331>>737333940Ok, so Elden Ring was shit then? And so was bloodborne and sekiro which they also gave 9.1 and 9.5? Fromsoft is a god dev where everyone can't help but admire it's pure craft and unparalleled excellence.
>>737322147the game is barebones and fags are mad their dhit game is being attacked
>>737333310does any halo game? does any call of duty? does doom?
>>737321035Did you even play it? Was it any good?
It's always funny when you see people on here unironically trying to defend game journos in current year
>>737335593>didnt like cheese puns. too many of them.>alligator boss in the sewer level>its not good noir, because the MC kills gorillions of people>why does nobody care about how much the MC is killing?>boss in the opera house is an opera singer. did we kill her? did we leave her alive in a burning opera house? i dont like these moral implications.>gun sounds are cartoony, but the enemies heads pop with blood. >why is the writing so unserious? why isnt this a serious noir? why are these things contrasting?>i expected a serious noir (even though it was never sold as such) with just a cartoon coat of paint, and instead i got a boomer shooter with tongue in cheek tones and references. >the gameplay is fine, but i wanted a serious noir and detective game. 6/10.
>>737329247>$30 dollarscan't forget the story
>>737337397You don't get certain guns in halo until late into the campaign and the same is true in DOOM and also the game was generally designed around pistol starting levels as well because these games were designed by competent developers and not a polish think tank
>>737338065and you get more guns (and upgrades) as you progress in mouse. im not seeing a difference. the only thing i can think of is vehicle segments.
>>737337843what the fug
>>737322745Yeah, the issue is entirely what he complained about, not that he shit on a great game. Complaining there's too much killing in a boomershooter and that there's too many cheese puns in a fucking cartoon mouse game is just retarded.
>>7373233388/10 is for good ground breaking games, chud
>>737337687The alligator in the sewer level really confuses me. He acts like it's the most common trope in vidya. I can think of maybe 4 or 5 games that do it, in the hundreds I've played over the years.
>>737321035All the characters are hideous af and dont have the charm that cuphead's style haveGod i hate those stuffy glove hands they are disgusting to see
>>737321035Clicked on a stream and hesrd the voice acting and immediately clicked off. Compeltlly ruined the ascetic. Why were cuphead devs the only ones who understood the source material
>>737321035Hows the rule 34 scene?
>>737321035The guy was retarded for trying to point out the logic issues in a game about cartoon mice but he was right that the tone of the game is off. Its not noir in the slightest.
>>737321035I remember few threads ago on /v/ some faggot say the game is bad cause xe literally feeling bad for the cartoon enemies dying cause "it didn't happen in tom and jerry and looney tunes as they always revive", funniest shit ever.
>>737342985He was right, the tone is weird and jarring. They can't decide if the game wants to be edgy and bloody, or "fun" like Cuphead.
>10gbi shouldn't complain too much compared to how massive fps have gotten but i still thought it'd be smaller
>>737343883Edgy, bloody, funny Saturday morning cartoon games already existed, zoomfaggot.This game even had a whole Saving Private Ryan WW2 segment.
>>737344006Right. What I mean is it doesn't know if it wants to be Conker or Cuphead. The game insists upon itself.
>>737343883>what is TF2
>>737321609By making outrageous reviews that get clicks, you guys are falling into their trap, the best thing to do with journos is to not engage.
>>737343948the game is surprisingly decently sized, also lots of voiced segments. honestly the size makes sense tbqh>>737343883People you burn to ashes still have their eyes looking at you. I feel like it's leaning on edgy/bloody but also has a dark humor tone to it. DEFINITELY not a Cuphead style and I think this is established pretty early.
Tranny journous can be right once in a while.
>>737321035Mouse pi is a woke Jew propaganda gameFuck off tranny shill
>>737328068At my job we get customer surveys. If I get a 9 that's a "fail" and I get dinged for it. Only 10/10 counts as "satisfactory"
The review itself sucks, but the score is correct. It's a worse version of what people criticize Doom 2016 and Eternal for. Repetitive arena fights with little enemy variety, constant hub trips to artificially increase playtime, an emphasis on cutscenes and dialogue, map markers to hold your hand.
>>737321609>we all ignore them now>nowThey were only viable in print media where the best ones were literally funded as a marketing arm for the console. OPM/Nintendo Power and the like.Once the internet came out, it was unnecessary. IGN has always been a joke.
>>737345264Bank?
>>737345436Do side quests have markers? I remember doing the one in the hollywood compound about finding a letter and I almost missed it because it didn't have a quest marker
>>737345436Yeah it's a painfully average, even mediocre game, carried hard by its artstyle. But the IGN reviewed focused on nothingburgers related to "tone and story" which no one cares about.
>>737345436Don't forget that despite main quests having markers, sidequests don't so you have to wander around trying to find out how to progress them. And even worse there are points of no return where you can brick those sidequests entirely if you accidentally progress too far in the main story.
>>737322776So basically someone at IGN finally wrote a legitimate review about a game, but because they’ve employed so many retards who wrote terrible reviews about other games, everybody’s ganging up on them as usual?
>>737345552Worse, retail.
>>737345652So is it better to have a quest marker or not? the one in the hollywood compound strictly mentioned "a family show set" and when I remember about it I retraced my path to the area where there's a family living room and I found the letter there. I think you just have to pay attention.
>>737345734Really? Well damn I guess the 10/10 I gave the local shartmart employee meant more than it seemed. I also wagecuck but we don't have those.
>>737345759As much as people give Skyrim shit for it, it's understandable for big worlds where players can go in any direction. When you put them in an enclosed linear shooter level, you're dumbing down your game for retards.
>>737321687Underrated comment
>>737321035Should they be sued, I think normies are gonna think Cuphead devs are mediocre after this blunder. I'm semi-normie and thought for sure that this was by the Cuphead's devs and made them look bad.
>>737345929In my opinion the main mission in Mouse sometimes having a marker isn't that big of a deal. It's a mostly linear game. Though it does have non linear moments (where there's no quest markers) like choosing how to break into the cop station, there are multiple ways to get in without the game holding your hand. You can be a giga retard that go through the front door guns blazing or have enough patience to look around the place and find another way.
>try to pay homage to Cuphead by copying them>game is ass>now everyone thinks less of Cuphead
>>737345759I would be okay with no quest markers if sidequests don't become locked if you progress past arbitrary points in the game.
>>737322059Only people who do youtube videos or /v/ threads go to IGN
>>737345929Quick access to a map is better than quest markers imo. Modern games are so ass and cinematic-driven that you don't even play, just follow a marker. Check the map, remember and try to follow the direction is more immersive.
>>737346130goodit was a crap game
>>737346165Fair enough. One of the most requested feature right now is redoing missions (so you can get the missing sidequests and other secrets) it's really weird to not include it in the game.
Video-game community has to be the biggest drama faggots among all internet communities.
>>737345201your brain is broken
>>737321609>where do these legacy videogame review companies even get revenue or funding to still be operating?At this point, they do what IGN do and purposefully give good games bad reviews and bad games good reviews for easy clickbait. Gurantee them posting a 6/10 for the mouse game improved their clickthrough rate 6000%
>>737348251They also get bribes from studios to hype abysmal dogshit like marathon and concord the clickrate is the cherry on top.
>>737321609"haha paid review" aside, paying for a coverage is a standard industry practice.I don't know the extent of it (I don't think they offer services like "give us money for 10/10"), but publishers can pay them money for non-review articles, or even pay them more than what they deserve for putting an ad on a website that nobody visits, and that may or may not affect how they review their games.
>>737321035They do this all the time. Retards go to their site and watch the review and that generated traction. You retards are why every company just seeks out bad publicity. It's all about getting attention, and you idiots give it out like candy
at the bottom...is that...
>>737321035>nooooo games aren't allowed to be cartoony and fun this is too CHEESY for meHeh, you gouda gotten that mozzarella stick out of your ass and had some fun with the game instead
>>737327663The 1-10 point system is not about averages. You're completely misunderstanding the point of the system.5 is the neutral point between bad and good. 5 is not 'average', 5 is neutral. Any game under a 5 is bad, but even being above a 5 isn't automatically amazing. A 6 game would be just passable, but probably not something you'd actively recommend to someone.This scale works a lot like pic related. This is the same misunderstanding when ranking women's looks on the 1-10 scale: 5 is absolutely neutral, and that is not the same as average.
>>737321687TpbpThe game is not only pretty bland and the most Reddit take you can have on noirs, but it also seems like a forced marketing thing. Game seems like one of those """indie""" titles that only get attention via artificial means.Them claiming to be indie yet having enough cash to hire expensive voice actors seems shady af.
>>737324235Nothing.Pretty shallow as far as shooters go. Level design, weapons or enemies never get intense or creative enough to make it stand out.
>be video game journalist>review cartoony shooter about a cartoon mouse private detective whose gun shoots acid and melts people down to their bones>"UHM, ACTUALLY A PRIVATE DETECTIVE COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH SHOOTING ALL THESE COPS, THIS IS NOT REALISTIC"...
>>737350461This game feels like a potential bad outcome of Cuphead getting its Microsoft funding. The vision seems to have changed dramatically once the devs signed up with a publisher.
I asked for a refund because the game didn't feel good.The 2d characters don't blend well with the 3d world at all. It's frustrating to play.
>>737321035They rushed this game out the door with a bunch of bugs and cut content to show for it (there's weapons and areas the devs showed off in various gameplay videos that don't appear at all in the final product).
Sounds like a game that’s all style no substance?
>>737350635The fuckDo the bullets vore them or something?
>>737321035Reviewtards getting gang-banged is commonplace though
I gave it a pirate after seeing all the talk and >>737351778sums it up about perfectly.Presentation is impressive, but the gameplay is serviceable at best.The publisher is absolutely smoking crack, charging $30 for it.
I kind of agree with most of what the IGN review said.
>>737350030>Any game under a 5 is bad, but even being above a 5 isn't automatically amazing.Nobody is claiming this though. You're arguing against an imaginary person who thinks the scale is the top bar in >>737326552 except shifted down five points and with all green after.Pain is an incompatible concept because it does not mean the same thing at all, being halfway to the most agonizing pain of your life is not the neutral point.

>>737352210Car centered housing
The game is a 6 or 7 but the reviewer had shitty reasonings and clearly didn't play more than an hour. He saw a noir theme and then tried to judge it as though it were just a serious detective movie and not a wacky shooter with a gimmick
>>737321115Holy rent free. Crimson Desert fucking owns you Discord trannies.
>>737345586They have markers to start them in the hub. Characters will be shown on the compass if they have something important to say. But in a mission, you need to figure out the quest yourself and it can be as easy as taking a 2 second detour or as easy to miss as doing a subquest within the level where there are dozens of points of no return.
>>737332269>Name 1 interesting mechanic it has.
>>737321035I don't give a shit about boomer shooters and this one looks particularly cringe but teh PC Gamer review of Cronos is astoundingly stupidhttps://www.pcgamer.com/games/horror/cronos-the-new-dawn-review/>Unfortunately, the kind of horror I was hoping for did not await me in Cronos. I often find that survival horror delivers weaker frights. Monsters just don't seem that scary when I'm piled high with guns, ammo, and every single explosive I can get my hands on. So in this respect, Cronos started on the back foot.Later in the review...>In a game that otherwise stresses the importance of restraint and holding on to your items, some of the Orphans can be a massive drain on resources.>The issues are worsened by seriously stingy resource spawns. Too often, the game doesn't give you what you needThen it takes a turn into the seriously retarded>I found Chronos' story similarly muddled, and it takes its sweet time to get going. For the first eight hours or so, all the game seems to be is yet another take on the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic. I don't know if it's because I had a rather nasty time over those few years or whether it's just that the subject has been completely overdone at this point, but I really have no patience left for tales about being placed under a restrictive lockdown, barred from social gatherings, and kept in the dark.By the way, the game is shite and i don't recommend it, but this review was so bad it convinced me to buy the game
>>737353282I wonder if journos even proofread or have an editor to give them a second opinion on their articles anymore. Probably not.
>>737353401Woah there, you can't stand in place and think about the article you just wrote. Get back to queuing up 5 more articles for next week.
Why are some of the NPC's randomly french

>>737322478>game wants to be boom shoot>has noir detective sections>both playstyles are at odds with each other >the heavy focus in those story sections must pay off, but the story is beyond mid >Boomshoots are loved for their no nonsense gameplay focus with little story, but this game has entire sections with no combat>99% of the humor is reference humor aka: I also know that thing lmaoReview is legit. Gamers like it because reviewers dislike it, like the fucking infants they are. Slop but not from the big western AAA? Oh we fucking adore that shit here.Games are shit because gamers slurp shit up and one could argue that online personalities have been worse for gamers then "real" reviewers.They dont know how to critique outside 'I had fun'. Something thats fun can still be shit.In the right mind set a stick is fun
>>737321035_ ____ __ ____ ____ ___.
The game is amazing. Truly GOTY.
>>737321035Most accurate review they've ever made, gender confused mystery queers who like indie slop seething
>>737321609It's called 'Israel'
>>737321035Is this the most soulless website design ever? It looks the way old websites do when someone has gone and bought the domain
>>737332269>And the toony characters don't mix with the 3D backgrounds. They were too lazy to animate like Cuphead, where the backgrounds AND characters are cartoony style.This is the reason I haven't bought it. I watched some gameplay (not the IGN review) and I can see the artsy animations getting old fast when the rest of the game looks like tf2. Picrel looks like its from some ue5 indie friendslop
>>737321035The IGN review is 100% retarded, but so is the game. It truly deserves a 6 from what I've played, but not for the reasons game journalists have outlined. Mouse P.I for Hire just sucks as a shooter
>>737356484Ooof. That looks like shit.
>>737327663holy zoomer/alphoid post stay in school
>>737321035It reads like a damn parody of journos>>737321115Wrong thread, retard. Marathon lost and got raped.
my problem is that i watched one gameplay video of it and it couldve literally just been a Doom 2 mod? As a standalone game it looks boring as hell with shit AI that got overshilled.
The game doesn't seem to be particularly good, but IGN is complete dogshit and I don't know why anyone takes anything they say seriously.
>>737321035IGN shitting on dalits like op and their shitty game. I am knowing now why you cumskins bastard sons of onlyfan whore are avoiding certain games. It because we make them.
Writing that doesn't take itself too seriously requires a certain talent. If it's done by people who don't understand the art, what ends up happening is that the story and characters become unlikable.The ideal process for the player should unfold as follows:>he clearly realizes that the game isn’t taking itself seriously>but little by little, he begins to see the internal logic within that universe>after a while, he’s fully engaged and taking seriously characters and a setting that at first seemed like nothing more than a big jokeIt's this process of discovering that there is substance to something that previously seemed like nothing more than a joke that gives this type of writing its charm.
>>737321035It deserved a lower score
Ign giving slop high scores was to avoid this, I think the pokemon review was 100% correct and only copers bitched about the "too much water" meme.Yeah, their literally is too much water in honen lol, random encounters every tile on a route, and half of the dex being water fucking sucks ass
>>737332935I didn't play it so I can't judge, assuming that's 7/10 for pure gameplay
>>737356484How would you 2D-animate a 3D shooter?
>>737342747Sadly, empty
