With fourth critic review recently arrived on MC, GD now have it’s own score. 84, hmm? I’d say more like 95-96, but I ignore online part, and 84 is still a very good start!
On a side note GD is still on steam top-sellers and have been there all week long, despite almost nonexistent press coverage, and no advertising on steam. That shows some love and awesome word-spreading by players! Gratz!
I would post a review there but metacritic became so irrevelant when looking into players critic that i think a review there would do more harm than good lol
That one guy 21grams (it’s probably THC7) who gave it a 4 clearly has a vendetta. None of his complaints are anything but a choice to be negative on purpose.
How anybody can like PoE over this game is beyond me…Dude said GD’s graphics are dated and clunky? HI. YOU GAVE POE a 9 DUDE. PoE is THE most clunky combat and grainy ugly graphics in an ARPG since D2.
That’s just bias and fanboyism. Most user-contributed online reviews are either “I dun liek eet - 0/10” or “10/10 OMG BEST GAME/MOVIE/ALBUM EVAR!!!1!11”.
On the contrary, I find user reviews on the whole more accurate than so-called “professional” reviews. The games journalism industry is so rife with corruption that I don’t ever trust a review from a so-called “critic.” The big studios and publishers give major “incentives” to these “journalists.” That’s a fact.
Word of mouth is all one needs it’s how I found this game. It’s rare I’d just look up a random game and refer to it’s meta score on buying it or not. I tend to look at player feed back and look for the best/worst rating and a couple of mid grounds to see if people are just trolls.
I am pretty sure most of them Zombies are naked. Hell, some of them are ON FIRE, they have to be naked.
And what about all them skeletons, you can´t get more naked than that!
My goodness, I´ve been playing a weird porn game all along!
I said the same thing to myself when dwarf fortress allowed configuring entities with lactation values and i wondered to myself how soon before the forum turns to the idea of ‘elf milk’.
I don’t even trust positive review; I prefer to skip to the most negative reviews that can be found and check to see what gripes hold validity.
It doesn’t help that screenshots and trailers are obviously set up to sell the product instead of being impartial on content; at least with television advertising there’s that whole ‘those we’re the ‘best’ parts of the movie they chose to show off… really?!?’
Giving a game a 10 that isn’t worth a 10 is just as idiotic as giving it a 1 when it’s not worth a 1. It’s good to read a range of reviews, often the less complimentary ones give more real insight into the game than the gushing ones.
Yeah, well, id gave a GD 95-96, as I said, but they said to choose between 9 and 10. So I chose 10. I don’t think any game is worth a ten, I always find some stuff I knew could’ve been done better ;).
