Registered 10 years agoStill genuinely surprises me that people put so much stock in a review score before deciding on a purchase, especially people who are generally clued up about games.
Anyway, really hyped for this game and i also don't understand the hate Beyond gets, thought it was terrific, one of my fave last gen games.

Is it really the score or the contents of the review, though? -

Please don't do it EG, we can't lose another one, especially not Bloobat. Take me instead, TAKE MEEEE.
If the review even mentions the allegations against QD and cage then I'm done with Eurogamer. Too much political bs has been in their reviews as of late (Kingdom come etc) -

Neither really make much sense to me in deciding a purchase, the amount of times i've read someone decide not to buy a game either due to a 'low' score or a lukewarm non glowing review, it baffles me. The way i look at it, did i like his previous games? yep,absolutely. Does the story/world intrigue me? hell yes! So pre-ordered weeks ago without any hesitation. -

I just throw a dart at my monitor with Steam's store page open and just go from there. -

Registered 14 years ago@jamesi I think with Cage's games your approach is somewhat valid. I'm 90% sure I'm going to get this and I don't even love his stuff, but I know what to expect from it and would be very surprised if I didn't at least enjoy it. A lot of developers change things up more between games though, whether it's a new genre or sub genre or even just a change in the creative forces behind it. -

Registered 15 years agoIs it really so hard to understand why people need reviews? I can make my own mind up about a song on the radio that takes up 3 minutes of my life, but for £50+ and an investment of days of my life, I'd like some sense of whether it's worth it. -

Colour me very excited. Really in the mood for an engrossing story-led game, and the futuristic thriller tone really appeals. -

I don't have a problem with reviews they're very helpful for the reasons you point out. My ire is drawn to how people say how one review source is wrong and the other is more trustworthy, whatever that means.

Registered 5 years agoJust received a despatch email. Game should be on its way tomorrow.
Speaking of reviews I don't tend to read them but I decide to buy games based on my impressions from game footage/demos and this hypes my excite level to the maximum. I don't need reviews if I want to buy it I'll buy it.
Anyway looking forward to play this tomorrow. -

Registered 6 years agoNot really a fan of these non-games but the setting for this will probably mean I pick it up at some point. It's reviewing better than I expected anyway. Did they mention whether you get to push your penis into someone with the thumbstick like in Fahrenheit? -

Registered 16 years agoJust read Gamespot's review. They give it a 7/10 - a decent enough score - but the text of their review confirmed my suspicion that I'd have no desire to play this.
Was hoping for something which actually did justice to the whole "ethical implications of AI" concept, rather than clumsy historical commentary.
Skimming EG's now and it seems to pick up on the same issue:
But Cage doesn't have the wit or the intellect to write machines as machines; he can't imagine intelligences that are different to human beings or that want different things. His androids are types: the idealist, the cold professional, the frustrated mother. They want love, family, success at work, a home of their own. -

Registered 9 years agoInterestingly, while they gave it a 6/10, Gamecentral actually thought this one is somewhat decent. They despised Heavy Rain and Beyond back then.

It's difficult though, of course. I'm sure we all, or at least most, enjoy science fiction media as a lens through which to interrogate complex philosophical, ideological, or socio-political issues, such as the ethical implications of AI; however, there's obviously going to be a variable success rate in terms of how well-realised, treated and developed such thematic strands are in any given piece of art, literature, film or game.
I think Cage has shown, often within the very same project, that he is capable at both success and failure when it comes to giving literary construction to these sorts of complex themes. For me, at least, that usually makes his games worth my time - even if I do end up being dissatisfied or left frustrated at the end
I've also read that a lot of the oft-cited pretentiousness and pseudo-intellectualism Cage gets a bad wrap for seems to be, thankfully, conspicuously absent in this one, or at least not layered on too thickly. So that sounds hopeful.
Too many games at the moment though, so I'll probably hold off for a bit.

Well which is it? It can't be both points in that statement. It's averaging on 8 on metacritic so it's looking the latter.

You also have to bear in mind the script for this is 5000 pages long in comparison to a movie script that is 100ish pages. There is virtually 0 chance of there not being bumps in a project of that size. There is genuine consequence for your actions, something that telltale games often fail at and until dawn nailed.
I like these sort of games and this is the best of the genre according to the reviewers that seem to like similar stuff to me. That's good enough for me to jump aboard.
