That's a you problem, anyone that's even kinda follows release dates would have known.

[@anecro]

@@meh7348 I follow and I didn't even know. Matter of fact I don't even remember seeing this being mentioned anywhere during its development. Could it be that it's such a bland-looking product with such a generic, run of the mill world that people genuinely forgot about it until it came out? I believe people when it comes to its gameplay quality, it looks fun, but everything else about it is just so artificial and looks so much like products like Forspoken or other modern fantasy games. I loathe the art direction of the enemies in this, it's more general, non-detailed fantasy schlock that aims to look modern for some reason, falling for the same tropes like a billion glowing particles everywhere. All enemies look like Destiny 2 / Horizon, always-metal-helmet-on npcs with random glowing basic shapes for crying out loud. It doesn't have an identity of its own and that's why I don't remember anyone ever knowing it existed prior to its release. Half the visuals are small and big metal men with primary color square tattoos man, the entire thing is so boring and it's been done to death, going back to even God of War.

Yah the scoring system is completely broken. A game is only considered buyable if it’s an 8 or higher. We might as well just have a 4 number scoring system. 7 being trash, 8 being ok, 9 being great, and 10 being masterpiece. That’s how players and the industry already view it. How many groans of disappointment do we hear for every release that ‘only’ gets a 7? That should be well above average. But apparantly it’s ‘unplayable garbage’ and ‘a disaster’. Lol.

[@tobiewolfen01]

I'm 16 hours into the game, and it doesn't come close to being a "disaster". This game has been a diamond in the rough for me, and pays homage to Metroid Prime games but with magical weapons. Playing on the PC version and get a steady 70-90FPS on 4K at high settings. It has its rough moments with the storytelling and some dialogue, but overall, it's worthy of being considered a AAA title. Being the first UE5 game for my rig, it certainly is equivalent to when I first ran Crysis on my PC way back when.

Lol something isn't "considered AAA" because it has decent graphics or frame rate, or how well it runs overall. How rough a game's dialogue is also has nothing to do with whether it's AAA or not. The only thing that defines AAA is budget when making it, and additionally often that it's produced by a large publisher. It has nothing at all to do with subjective quality or enjoyment.

The game is very well-produced - it just feels like it was made without fully understanding its audience. It looks and sounds like like a Marvel TV show you can play. For some that’s great but many people are sick of the Marvel formula and its style of humor. It doesn’t help that the game is relatively short, is a bit generic lore-wise, and doesn’t have Multiplayer.

[@stevemac6707]

You hit the nail in the head, the story is meh at best. Generic fantasy stuff not done particularly well and the dialogue is outright atrocious. Cringe inducing in fact, the fact there is no save system and you can't skip cutscenes makes it even worse, more so if you decide to restart a chapter because it will take you back to the very start of it and make you watch them all again. I would honestly say it's worse than Marvel, every joke falls flat, the world is almost conquered but everyone is throwing bad quips around and nearly every character is outright unlikeable. I recently bought the game but the longer I have played the more these things are just outright spoiling the game and it's a shame because it really had potential to be something very good and instead we got a fairly mediocre game.

[@IridescentW]

It's nothing like marvel. It actually takes at least half a brain to enjoy.

[@IridescentW]

​@stevemac6707 The game saves all the time. There's plenty of ways to force it to save. The story fleshes out as the chapters progress. Sounds like you weren't able to beat it because you're bad, so you're essentially judging a painting based off of one corner. Even more obvious because you talk about failing entire chapters? Maybe video games aren't for you. Those child marvel movies might be more your skill set. They also have a simpler x-to-y story that is easier for a brain like yours to follow.

[@danquaza9275]

It’s funny. I beat it, and yea I agree at first glance it looks amazing, no pop in, amazing partial effects and colors. But once you actually start paying attention it looks pretty rough at times. There are alottt of low poly textures, the framerate is rough at times. And the 720P internal resolution really is a bad choice, any time your moving around the FSR makes everything look so low resolution and fuzzy. So yes it can be a looker, but it’s not nearly as visually polished as it should be

The combat mechanics are pretty neat and unique how different sigils work similar to different guns in standard fps games. The controls were a little wonky but I fixed it easily by rebinding buttons in the accessories app. The hate is laughable. Y’all are just spoiled. Honestly any game that doesn’t try to break you with microtransactions should automatically get more grace because at least they care about your enjoyment of the game itself as opposed to trying to feed your need for cosmetic crap. It’s a pay to play game that works like a pay to play game should: Perfectly fine without requiring extra money. Game is fine. Y’all are the problem.

Seems to me like they should've lowered the scope/budget.

For me, the disappointment came from not being able to customize the character, the locked first person view, the repetitive enemies, and modern young person dialog. All we know about the Rasharnians is that they're obsessed with helmets and speak another language. Jak is somewhat insufferable and an idiot. If we're stuck with him the way we're stuck with Shepherd in ME, then at least let us personalize his look or make a female Jak. If this game had leveled up the writing and gave us greater immersion, we could have been dealing with a classic.

Reason i didn't buy this game is 1. Ea didn't lift review embargos early. Led me to cancel my pre-order as the only reason they would do that is because they didnt have faith in the game. It's not a 100% certainty that when a dev does this, it means the game will be bad. But it doesn't help with confidence or exposure pre game release. 2. Lack of replayability and game modes. To me the golden era of games was the golden era because they actually felt like games that were made to have FUN not just be a really really good campaign. But modes that you could fuck around with to take a break from the game have fun, and play the game in a different and exhilarating way, maybe even with friends. Sure i love good campaigns and from what i hear this games lands well. But for 69.99 pounds, there is no way im buying if all i get is a campaign, especially if it's a new IP. Personally if it had a horde mode, or just some other game mode that had separate progression it would of been a instant buy from me. I get that games are getting harder to make due to the narrative and graphical side. But those aspects have zero impact on the gameplay; and hence these products are called GAMES, that to me personally should be put first.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Is it just me or is every game nowadays doing Doctor Strange like of spells in them like immortals of aveum, fospoken, ghostwire Tokyo, control etc but the only game that has done it well is hogwarts legacy

[@fadiabubaker1163]

It's the only thing hogwarts did right though

[@antoniodigimon]

Control ????? Did u actually play that game ?

[@AdilAzharKhan]

Video games take a lot of time to make. So, they usually show what was popular when they started being made. Like FF16, which was influenced a lot by Game of Thrones.

[@Hero190909]

Really only heard about this game about 2-3 weeks ago, but never payed any attention to it. Looking at this vid here, just comes off as an FPS with magic. That's just me, i dont remember the last time I played a FPS.

[@celebrimb055]

People forgot what gaming industry have become but this is kind of a throw back to the age when gaming is still entertainment but not a huge mass of greed

[@Dandoskyballer]

That must be why they laid off a bunch of their employees.

[@enterthecatalyst]

This game was good for 10-12 hours. Then after completing it there is no replayability. You can’t start the game over with your skills and weapons (maybe on a harder difficulty). It leaves you with a objective “tie up loose ends”, with no instruction in where to find these loose ends. It was awesome for 10-12 hours, but when the story ends the game is over.

[@jshyp22]

I don’t understand the negative reaction around this game. I bought and have been enjoying it immensely. It’s not a game that pushes or redefines gaming but it’s enjoyable. A 7/10 is still a good game. I hate how if a game doesn’t get a 9 or a 10 the game is a disaster. Give me a break.

[@nopenope7482]

I disagree. I really like this game still playing it . 2nd time through

[@zainrix]

I was planning to get it for 70$ but im glad i didn't paid full price for this got the game on rent only for 20$ and im happy its a one time play a 9 hours experience was great and fun.

[@Pizmagic]

What happened is people listening to reviewers only. Or cheap and font buy good games. This gsme was fun. Dope visuals Buy it. Dialogue meh sometimes but this gzme should done better.. needs a sequel.. bullcrap industry now.. share.. buy ghr game. Dfvs fid literally awesome Deserved better 😡

[@therealfodder]

Just picked this up from Amazon for £10 and having a blast. Definitely an AA game that they attempted to put a layer of AAA shine on to push for that upper price tag - when what they really had here was Serious Sam 4 with magic.

[@seriousstuff8887]

It looks great .. I just had armoured core 6 on my radar first . I will definitely play it sometime .

[@Wreenz]

This video did not age well. I just completed this game on Series X and was pleasantly surprised how great this game actually is.

[@RegalPixelKing]

This game uses lumen lighting. That means that the shadows of this game looks amazing, but unless you have a GPU that has RT cores then you can expect poor performance. Lumen is impressive technology and save a ton of time lighting a game, and it will be the future of lighting, but currently I think that most hardware is not ready for a world to be lit my lumen. Overall I would not say that this is a poorly optimized game, but more so a game that uses technology too ahead of its time. Kind of like Crysis.

[@Tito_bless]

I just had uninstall and install the game they not letting me jump back into my save progress…it’s says it’s updating then stops…on my Xbox series x

[@CorDharel]

I just finished the game and it's my game of the year 2024. I loved every second of it.

[@keithbalbi3927]

Nothing went wrong. I'm on the final chapter now and have loved every minute of it.

[@ItsDatCajunStuff]

I don't understand the point of these videos. Not every game is going to enjoy mass acclaim. Every game finds its audience, and just because something doesn't alter the gaming landscape when it comes out doesn't make it a failure. It's the same dumb mindset that AAA publishers have, that if something doesn't sell 20 million copies in the first week, it's a failure.

[@Trickster-sy4rp]

It's actually really good, I just finished my first play through. IMO where they went wrong is partnering with EA. Can honestly say as soon as people see that EA are involved people shy away

[@megaham1552]

The game is fine

[@xdemon6923]

I liked the game but the characters annoyed the hell out of me

[@orlindimitrov7322]

Pearson Hardman really took a hit

[@jw5280]

We knew this. If you've been gaming for awhile you cam tell when a game is going to be......like this

[@RehashedZeal]

The 720p console resolution killed any hope for this game.

[@bd9057]

This game was pretty fun. One of the very few games i actually finished.

[@nuckchorris1396]

I got it now for free on ps extra

[@ornn-lightworks]

Same ps+ gang

[@fastica]

There’s nothing wrong with this game (besides the PC performance). Not every game has to be a 100 hours long epic open game world. Some games are just made to be fun. This is one of those.

[@6stringmonk]

I know this video was made before Starfield came out and hindsight is 20/20. This game is much more enjoyable than Starfield is. It's a fun throw-back to late 90s / early 2000s linear story-based shooters along with modern crafting mechanics and cut scenes. It's not perfect, but it is a breath of fresh air once you get your settings dialed in. Is this a $70 game? No. Is it a great $30 game? YES!

[@Jecoopster]

Just finished beating the game on ps+. It was a solid 7/10. It deserved to sell better. Just needed better marketing

[@zuriswalker614]

I just noticed the lady is jack crowford's wife in hannibal no wonder I felt like i've seen her before

[@DJBooks1]

She is also Larry Fishburne's (Morpheus) wife

[@sunnydchugger]

One of the best shows on tv. I wish it didn’t end.

[@shreder75]

​@@sunnydchuggerHannibal was great

[@Freeden]

Huh? The game is great. The gameplay feels like it sets itself apart from every other FPS currently out there and it's a lot of fun, the characters feel fairly down to earth despite their high standing and the magic, the story is interesting, but best of all, the world building is excellent. No, it's not completely original, but it does feel fresh, with it's combination of electro-punk, magic, and fantasy elements. Considering the low level of hype this got pre-launch, with it being overshadowed by many other, bigger games, it's exceeded my expectations. Judging by the comments here and the scores it's been getting, it would seem more people are enjoying it more so than not.

[@SkyKing1225]

As thestellarjay said before it even came out "too much clutter, probably won't run well if your pc is 3+ years old"

[@bowley4]

Wait so you said “only dragon I’ve seen so far”… does that mean you made a review of a game after only playing 5% of the game?! Like that’s practically a tutorial boss…. -_- So I had never even heard of the game until seeing it free on PSN, and figured I’d check it out… ya know what it reminds me of? Jedi Fallen Order! It’s like practically the same game just sub magic lasers for light sabres… I am actually blown away by this game! I had extremely low expectations just cause it was free and most free PSN games are terrible… so I had planned on deleting it after tutorial if it didn’t catch me… but I gave it a chance and boy am I happy I did! Just beat it earlier tonight and man does it have some cool and epic cinematics!!! I didn’t really care for the “funny jokes” but fair enough… the combat is so good and rewarding it totally makes up for a lame quip here and there. And the audio/music is insane! I also really love how every time you leave a place and come back, there are different enemies, different loot/chests that spawn etc. So it’s not like “oh damn I have to go through an area I already cleared before(boring)… you’ll come back to an area you have already been and surprise, now there’s a bossfight with some legendary loot because you revisited the area! Really well thought out there! Performance wise the only problems I encountered was the game crashed twice when I was in the fast travel menu and was skipping around between portals to figure out which I wanted to take. Almost like it starts pre-loading the region you’re hovering on before you actually click it, so it gets overwhelmed when you click around too fast or something. I know Jedi fallen order was another free PsN game that blew me away, but to anybody reading who is on the fence for this game, definitely go for it! And if you’re a dark souls type, there are a lot of “lore” documents you can pick up and read in addition to the main storytelling.

[@Pizmagic]

Game underrated.. buy it.. funaszzz ish! Dont believe dumb reviews or tube dumb people 🤕

[@RealziesCuts]

Looks like a pretty good Game. Thanks for raising awareness 💫

[@thegreatshamalamadingdong9788]

Frame rate on this game is terrible, I mean it doesn’t really effect gameplay but frame rate does Dip. game itself ain’t that bad. I’m enjoying at the moment

[@halo3boy1]

not even a year and its on ps+ lol
