Honestly the biggest offence of this game isn't even the awful level design or boring combat or anything like that. The biggest offence is that they dared to make a freaking king kong game and then make him like 2 meters tall and not like 200!
@FlamesAnimations9 ай бұрын
Honestly i think he might be pretty tall, its the perspective. Not defending the game by any means but everything on skull island is big so in perspective he looks small!
@InZiDes9 ай бұрын
Obviously it's King Kong. But it doesn't say King Kong anywhere. It's called Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Kong is the name of the species of monkeys. And it just says that we are a young monkey.
@christiancinnabars14029 ай бұрын
@InZiDes The main Kong in the game is already the same size as his parents the moment he becomes playable, and you can see him dwarfing the human skeletons you see in the spider area. He is 100% adult sized. Him looking so small is the fault of perspective. They zoom the camera _way_ out and have him be dwarfed by all the trees in the environment. Like, the tallest trees you see in the game _have_ to be nearing 600+ feet tall for no reason. I get making the enemy bosses large to have them be more intimidating, but what do you achieve from making the _plants_ that big?

One big flaw with this game that I don't see many people talking about [he said in a video where the top comment talks about it] is that if I'm playing as Kong, I want to feel like I'm controlling a massive behemoth, not an average sized silverback gorilla. I want to swing around trees that are smaller than I am, maybe be able to uproot one and use it like a club. I want one my few advantages over a boss to be my massive size. I want to be the biggest goddamn thing in the jungle.
