AndyKurosaki Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Think it’s safe to say my Fantasy Critic rep is absolutely fucked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It’s scored a bit better than I thought it would, however the overall feeling of this game being dull and redundant seems to have been accurate I might get it. I don’t know. I like dull and redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I don't think you're as fucked as me still @AndyKurosaki you'll still get 1 or 2 points out of it ?. I believe @wiivo 2.0 still got a few points for Far Cry New Dawn. 25 minutes ago, Nag said: I've seen two review scores so far, one below 70% and one at 90%... so it's one of those games. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, doubt I'll start until Sunday though. Pretty much. Seems incredibly divisive, will be interesting to find out which side of the scale I land on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know. I like dull and redundant. Or you could play a real goddamn video game like Dragons Dogma ? But I hope people get on with this and enjoy it too. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I know, right? Dwarf suggesting Days Gone is not a real video game. Such disrespect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I would have played it but the last gen version had very scary music on the title screen which kept me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's a perfect fit, nothing else in the game is as you'd expect. It sounds like it belongs in DMC or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 DF breaks down Days Gone. 2 take aways for me were that his game took 7 years to make (What did they build a game for 5 it didn’t work they scrapped it and made this in two?) and the world of the game is really fixed in terms of objects and how you interact with it. I think it’s what adds to this game’s problem of feeling bland and generic but it also seems really old which is bad for a game that isn’t out yet There are some really stunning looking images in the game, though, it has to be said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I don't think they go looking for them but I do think word gets around. The first week is the people who preordered and got it day 1, those people clearly don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I’m pleased for Bend. This is their first AAA Console effort after all, and from what I’ve played so far it’s a pretty stellar first effort in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I feel like it's less about the scores these days but more about the consensus on social media and the opinions of popular youtube/twitch people. Plus this game's premise is kind of The Last of Us meets The Walking Dead so new IP or not it's always going to have its fans. Even buggy messes like State of Decay have decent success so it's not hard to see why people would jump at the opportunity to get something like that with a Sony Triple-A budget. That said, the fact that it outsold multiplatform releases like RE2 and Division 2 is definitely unexpected. Edit: I wish we had cool videogame trailers in the cinema. We usually just have ads about insurances, new yoghurts and a truckload of softdrink spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 11 minutes ago, Nag said: I dunno, I just think cool looking advertising does the job on most people more than review scores... my last two trips to the cinema both had a tonne of games advertising, Captain Marvel was all Xbox (DMC5, Anthem and Rage 2) and Endgame was all PlayStation (God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone) I think seeing those on a huge screen has more of an impact than ign giving something an 8. absolutely, but if something is getting panned (and this wasn't) I think you can see it reflected in sales over time. It's also worth remembering this came out in a very quiet spell, apart from Mortal Kombat the last game of note was Sekiro wasn't it? Not that I'm doing it down, more that I think it's launched at the right time... if you ignore how late it's released ? edit: as an example of what I mean, weren't Fallout 76's (and Sea of Thieves but I'm less sure with the tail on that) really good first week then it bombed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I am really surprised it beat RE2 and especially Division 2. I thought that would have done mega numbers, especially off the back of them tending the last game and also Anthem failing to deliver that experience that some chase.
