I haven’t played it yet, but I’ve noticed way more positive opinions online about the game the further we got from its release date. It’s currently 75% positive-rated on Steam and even 92% from recent reviews.
I think the game was way overhyped, but now that people don’t expect it to be some monumental achievement, some actually do like it.
Im scared of playing it. 1 and 2 were incredible and then 3 just had way too much time before it came out. Nothing it could realistically be would match the hopes and expectations I’ll have attached to it.
I might give this a try if it appears on gamepass or supercheap
The biggest issue among the Shenmue community was that it left us in another fucking cliffhanger. Seriously. Yu. I love how dedicated you are to your vision…but this is getting annoying.
Most of the other criticisms were about how slow and plodding some things were…which is something a lot of us liked about Shenmue.
Oh man this looks like the original NES Bubble Bobble which I loved! I even hear the same theme song! I hope this will be good because I can’t resist buying it!
Boo to you. Late 80s arcade bubble bobble was amazing. Every edition since arcade is not exactly like the arcade version since taito lost the source code in a move.
The original PlayStation version was the closest to arcade you could get, the switch version seems to be based off the NES version and I didn’t care for the landscaped new version, it just didn’t feel right .
If I was ever to get a tattoo Bub and Bob would be at the top of the list.
It’s exactly because the arcade version was amazing that I can’t, lol.
Sometimes I’m ok with visual updates (and I don’t even mind the look of Bubble Bobble 4 Friends much), but something’s just off here. Bub’s just too upright/tall? for one thing.
Not sure about adaptation, but all of their games have atrocious performance problems. Bloober is like, the King of Stuttering. Definitely doesn’t help that they use Unreal now, but even when they released Layers of Fear and _observer, the performance of their games have always been bad.
They are heavy-handed and it comes at the expense of atmosphere and tension; a lot of their efforts come across as cheap even though there're obvious signs of attention and care.
I think the remake of Silent Hill 2 suffers for it. They shouldn't be given this franchise IMO. You can see it in Layers of Fear and The Medium, and even in The Observer and Blair Witch to some extent.
I like Bloober Team (I've played a ton of their games, obviously) but they just haven't impressed me to the point of convincing me they can remake of Silent Hill properly. It's an important franchise and they miss the mark on all of the subtleties that made the originals excellent.
I never came around to Monark. Was it any good? I can’t quite remember what detered me back then. This does seem like it’s build on it.
Edit: Got corrected in another thread, these games may seem similar to me, but have different devs. It’s just the same publisher. These devs made Crymachina.
I’m glad it failed. The community was nice but the devs were pretty hostile towards linux. Also it was way too demanding on the specs for really bad graphics.
