one-armed dwarf Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Whenever they show off cutscenes to this game I think it looks cool, but then they show gameplay. Floaty feedback like an MMO, bad readability and lots of cooldowns Also imo style ranks should call you bad names if you have a 'F' rank, not 'fantastic'. Neg the player, it's the only way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Idk if the ps or xb will have a demo, they rarely do these days, but the switch cloud version will apparently have an trial on release if you wanted to try before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I don’t know how to describe it other than this game looks like it ‘moves’ like a mid gen 360 game. The graphics are significantly better, but the way the characters jump and move, how basics the linear 3rd person action is, this game looks old. It’s not even out yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Still looks rad to me. I was going to pick this up Day 1 but unfortunately it'll likely have to wait until November at the earliest now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Looking at some of the individual reviews it seems a bit mixed, lots of praise for the story but criticism for the gameplay. I guess I'm sorta leaning towards being a bit more interested tho cause I expected it to be mostly negative. Just wonder how hard that story is carrying things, cause a really good story can do a lot I suppose. See Nier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 That's a significantly higher score than I was expecting. I was guessing 65-75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 I mean the Previews last month were positive, so yeah I'm not so sure why you guys were expecting this to be a trainwreck. I guess due to the fallout of Avengers being just 'good' or mediocre I guess, critically and commercially derided you put 2 + 2 together and made 5. It's nice to believe in a game and it actually come good for once. I still don't expect this to perform too well commercially though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Avengers not being good is more like putting 2+2 together to make 4. Same tech, same studio but different team probably. I played a lot of Avengers and I think the combat in it looks better than even the positive previews of GotG and something like that can be a massive dealbreaker for me. Sometimes, as mentioned Nier is an exception. IMO anyway it's just expectations, this is a preview thread. Unless you've played it you won't actually know. The actual impressions thread will be upcoming ---> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I thought the game wasn't going to be good because it's always looked rough and I was blown away it had an October release date. Right back to when this game was first shown in whatever E3 thread it was I said this does not look good. So it's nothing to do with Avengers, coverage or anything. Purely what they showed, it looked kind of crappy (Still looks kind of crappy). I'm surprised that score is that high, but I'm glad it is. I'd rather it be a good game than a bad game. I just didn't think it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm with this @Maf on this one... looks and moves like an early 360 game.🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Honestly it's too the point that when someone agrees with me I'm not sure if it's sarcasm 🤔 Either way looks like I was wrong @Nag quick get off the train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It's not sarcasm @Maf... I'd thought the exact same thing during all those preview videos.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Just watched the Skill Up review. Sounds good, think I might get it just as he says, to support this type of high production SP, linear action game being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 People say the PC version looks really good. Like it would look really good on a RTX 3080, not that I know anybody who owns a card like that (what kind of idiot would even consider spending that much money on a graphics card? A really big one I bet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
