I’ve watched two people online play the game and both pretty much slammed it. It should absolutely have been free with the console. Is $10 really disposable enough income to spend on what is essentially an ad for the console you’ve already bought and a handful of minigames? 7/10 is a wild score to give it, but I guess reviewers get these games for free anyway so price doesn’t matter.

theangriestbird,

Yeah it’s a bizarre choice. I’d bet the actual developers of the game were not the same people that made the choice to charge money for the game.

i recently discovered that OpenCritic has been acquired by Valnet, who also owns some of the trashier websites listed on OpenCritic, so I would really love to move back over to Metacritic since they seem to do a better job of filtering out low-quality critics. If anyone knows a way to create review threads like this using Metacritic, please let me know!

chloyster,

Unfortunately apart from a scraper / parser being written I don’t see a way to do it easily

You should do what you think is best, since you’re making these threads.

I remember back when OpenCritic launched, the dev made a Reddit post to gauge interest. MetaCritic used some weird formula to weight specific outlets of their choosing higher, and apparently people didn’t like that. OpenCritic was supposed to “fix” that. I never really followed that stuff, so I don’t know if that’s still the case, if MetaCritic changed or whatever.

I don’t care one way or another, and don’t really use these threads or even most of the reviews to decide if I buy a game or not. Looking them over, and maybe see some people freak out because of “too much water” is entertaining though.

theangriestbird,

Interesting. I guess I am curious if others find review threads useful? Generally I agree with you, I don’t care that much about most individual reviews. However, I find the aggregators useful as a way of taking the temperature on how critics feel about a new release. The threads also make a good place to focus discussion around specific games. However, most of these threads get zero comments unless the game is hotly anticipated.

chloyster,

I very much enjoy the threads! If for no other reason than having a space to discuss a game that recently came out

It’s so sad that Like a Dragon series is now at its peak and it could benefit from that system massively, but can’t. And by the time this patent runs out, it will probably already run its course.

Oh wow! That would be an amazing series for it! God I can imagine various new powers random people suddenly getting to fight you.

Gameplay and software patents need to be nullified. We need to find a way to trick Trump into thinking those patents are insulting him somehow.

tatann,

Boy I sure hope Trump never learn that the nemecis system (short for nemecisgender) was patented by the woke Warner Bros, so that other games can only use the nemetrans system that mindtrick every players into transitioning

Because they know Shadow of Mordor/War is a one-hit wonder and they can’t make another game with nemesis system as good as that game, so they preemptively prevent anyone from making a better game than they can possibly make.

ChicoSuave,

The gameplay kept us coming back and the graphics are excellent for the game. What doesn’t last is the absolute garbage writing and characters. Literally just edgelord angry characters snapping at each other. There is no reason for being an invincible wizard warrior obliterating the orcs of Mordor.

RunJun,

There is a reason, it’s fun.

What an absolutely genius idea only to implement it once and in only one specific genre and lore setting. How sad.

JcbAzPx,

Patents eventually run out. We’ve got another ten years and then anyone can use it.

pinball_wizard,

Alternately,

We’ve got another ten years and then anyone can use it. Disney can buy WB and lobby to extend the life of the patent.

“Mario. You can’t a do this! He’s a the one who keeps kidnapping peach!” Said Luigi. “No” Mario responded. “That’s a why we do do this”. Mario then narrowed his gaze and gripped the steering wheel of his cart, his gloved hands making the sound of a tightening rope. “Today, brother. We humiliate him. Tomorrow, we take a him down for good”.

I like to imagine Mario and Bowser have a sorta Roof and Parry kinda relationship.

Bowser makes no sense. He’s larger than Mario, why doesn’t he simply eat him?

If I was a police officer, and after surviving an accidental catastrophic zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, my government said “Hey you’re really good at that, want to do it 5 more times?” I’d simply pivot to being a construction worker or something.

Klear,

So you’re saying you’re not a bad enough dude to rescue the president’s daughter…

Looks great! I’d be interested in the play test but is there a way to get involved avoiding discord?

muts,

You’re not the first but I’d be more than happy to accommodate the non discorders, I’m currently afk but I will investigate the suggested alternatives and relay back here, do you have a preference of the mentioned alternatives so far?
