Skull Island Rise of Kong - It's Digital Faeces

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I am aware this was made by a small team of developers in a year, some say they were pushed into this by the publisher. I have zero sympathy for them, they willingly accepted a deal which they must have known would make a shit game and yet they still went and did it and put their company name to the title. I would never touch another product made by this team as they clearly have no standards, they could have easily told the publisher to get stuffed, I damn well would if it were my business. Many years ago I delivered a video to a client and they insisted on having their own shitty music on it, I refused as I would not allow my company name to be associated with such tripe, it cost me a job but saved my reputation so later I was able to recover from the heat and get more bank. Conclusion is I would resign before my company pumped out garbage like this game.

[@saylorsedell2380]

Well said!

[@Krapvag]

devs always seem to have excuses made for them. The quality of games has plummeted in the last 5 years but you're not allowed to blame the devs becoming worse but they always have an excuse

[@djplays9147]

The sad thing is, this game is so bad it's become famous and trendy to play just like Gollum. So in some strange way a game as bad as this can actually do well in terms of sales. People sometime enjoy playing games that are so bad they're funny to play.

[@stanettiels7367]

You also managed to keep rep as well, Mack. Good on you.

[@thomasgellhaus306]

LOL, I was going to comment that this game looks WORSE than a PS2 game. Maybe I should actually try PJ's King Kong: The Movie: The Game....

[@PinePizza]

Wasn't that the scary first person shooter thing? This game disturbed me as a kid, but it was amazing.

[@rickybindahoose6193]

​@thomasgellhaus306 you should. That game was amazing for the time and I want to replay it, the levels where you play as Kong are kind of meh, but the first person levels have so much atmosphere. Really cool concepts, like no ui.. so in order to check your bullets you press a button, and Jack Driscoll says out loud "Ten bullets on backup." Which I've not seen many games do before or since. You can also swap Equipment with the NPC's in game, its one of the most slept-on movie games tbh, its up there with the LOTR Video Games for me.

The fact the beep doesnt actually censor anything is just great.. cracks me up everytime

[@Poppa_Capinyoaz]

​@@KoozwadGotta love how everyone knows about it, and nothing gets done. No wonder they let the good guys win in movies and books, because it certainly doesn't happen in the real world.

[@Koozwad]

@@Poppa_Capinyoaz Nah the reason for good guys winning in entertainment goes deeper. This is especially relevant for games. When people see or overcome adversity themselves they feel satisfied in a way, and it reduces or outright removes any urge to do so in the real world. In a way it can put people at peace, like all is well in the world, but it also means the WEFs and such of the world will walk all over them as it makes them weaker. Being too content/comfortable makes one weak. I could go on, but you probably get me.

This game is equivalent to Millenials. The best way to describe it is like this. You own a small coffee shop. You can only afford to pay slightly above minimum wage. You hire a new person and they turn up with no qualifications or experience and tell you that they want £40 an hour because they feel that they are worth it. And more importantly, deserve it.
