I saw that gameinformer gave it a 7.75 which on its own isnt too bad but if you take into account how liberal gameinformer usually is with their scores and if you consider that DS1 and 2 were both 9 and above suddenly a 7.75 starts to look pretty bad. Everyone always says, "settle down everyone its not like a 7.75 basically 8 is a bad score". Well in a vacuum where no other dead space game exists that might be true but when real dead space fans are expecting the quality and amazing experiences the first two games were, even just a little worse is unacceptable especially when its because of stupid changes that no one wanted and damn sure didnt need to be made. I bet they get more hate and alienate more fans than they gain new in the "wider audience" they are trying to reach with those ridiculous changes they made. Im trying to go in with an open mind when i finally play it because of how much i love the franchise and i hope im eating my words in a week or so, but DS1 and 2 were almost gaming perfection to me and you cant improve on that by adding nonsense that changed many of the games core mechanics such as universal ammo to accommodate the weapon crafting or bigger less intimidating areas and much more action to accommodate the co op. Those are only a couple of the many many changes that vastly change the flow, pace, atmosphere and feel of the game, all of which are key components to a dead space game as we know and love them. Guess ill know for sure in a few days.
We all know the co-op is stupid and no one wanted it but the weapon crafting nonsense pretty much breaks the game, at least what we've come to know as dead space. The crafting is why there is now universal ammo which just makes all the guns blend together and feel more generic rather than unique and nothing is really specialized anymore which in turn = generic and easier. I read an interview and the guy was saying your profile, items and weapons you create are sepperate from the game and since its drop in drop out like with borderlands you could potentially go play a later level with a fiend, make a bunch of way over powered weapons and then go back to an earlier level with those weapons and just mop up with them since there is now chapter select. There is also a weapons testing and crafting room outside of the campaign so you can build and test weapons for your campaign without any of the dangers or suspense of possibly making a shitty weapon you might have to deal with for a little while, again all of this just serves to make the game easier and easier and less and less dead spacey. i could go on and on about how much these changes have hurt the game play us true fans want.
No one is going to buy tomb raider to play multiplayer in. There fore it was a waste of time money and effort putting it in. Plus it looks like a cheap ripoff of uncharted multi except the guy runs all stiff and stupid like on dead rising. How shitty and generic this looks
I just hope this game is much better than far cry 2. far cry 2 was fun for about 2 hours and then became really really boring to where i couldnt even force myself to finish it. Having to kill the same crappy enemies in the check points is ultimately what ruined FC2 for me but the missions were boring too. I hoped they learned from that for this game
The reason the score thing matters is because gearbox fucking deserves a better score than the first one. They busted their ass to make BL2 better in every way than 1 doing everything the fans wanted and they even exceeded my expectations which were high to begain with. its SO much better than 1 just in the first few hours and i think most anyone would agree. Give it a fucking 9.5 or something jerks, why does it not deserve that if call of poopie can get an 8.5 or 9+ every year doing the exact same shit. If there was only a couple games a year that cracked the 9's like the uncharted or mass effect series . . .. i would fully understand because they are phenomenal games but to give borderlands 2 an 8.5 same as its predecessor and same as prototype for **** SAKE is an insult to gearbox after how improved and good it really is.
@eminem197795 far cry 1 along with crytek is way better than FC2 and poopiesoft montreal. I hope they learned their lesson about how boring 2 was so 3 will be good
That sounds awesome. I really really wanted to like far cry 2 but damn that game got boring after about 2 hours of doing what felt like the same thing over and over. This game looks cool and i love open world games but theres not too many good first person ones out there. i really hope this turns out to be good but ive been let down by ubisoft montreal many times before so it wouldnt be a shock for this to be a stinker too.
@lazzdamian666 Its because you're not their customer when you buy used smart guy. they dont see a penny when you buy their games used, why would they treat you good. what do you expect for being a cheap ass. game stop charges 54 bucks for games, **** that. Im not giving those greedy asses 54 bucks for a used fucking games. i can understand the older ones that are like 20 bucks or less but how fucking penny pinching cheap are people that they wont spend 6 more dollars for a new game so the people who worked hard to make the game get the money instead of greedy ass game stop or where ever you are buying used.
