Remember me was suggested to me in one of my Xbox 360 videos. Within the first ten minutes you can tell the game is special. I have no idea what critics were thinking you could release this same game now and it would get incredible praise. I can see the memory bits being a little tedious but that’s about it

Never understood why games like Vikings, Remember Me, Anarchy Reigns, Ninety-Nine Nights 1/2, Gun or Spyro aren't backwards-compatible on modern Xbox consoles. The last 2 are even owned by Activision which are now owned by MicroSoft. Ninety-Nine Nights was even published by MicroSoft games. Regardless, there's nothing in thse games as far as licensing's concerned, that need to be renegotiated. At worst, they could make them back-compat via disc-only -- something of an option MicroSoft ought to consider, especially if they allowed the Xbox community access to the emulator's files & gamers who own these 360 (& og Xbox) to download these & other titles.

I haven't played it yet but I got a copy and I'll get down with it one day. The rap music is incredible just like the prequel Mad World before it. So one weird thing, it's possible the character designs and gameplay inspired OverWatch, Rebel Taxi touched on this in his Anarchy Reigns review. But the most important thing is you can play as BAYONETTA!

Remember Me is amazing, and more influential than people realize. Some of its mechanics served as the base for Life is Strange, and also some of Cyberpunk 2077's missions. It was also the first video game to implement Physically Based Rendering/Shading, and the only one to do so on a 7th gen machine. One of the best visual presentations of the whole gen. The combat and story aren't innovative but they're more than adequate, main character is cool. The atmosphere is great, art direction is fantastic, especially regarding the architecture and environments, and the soundtrack by the most important French game composer, Olivier Derivier, is nothing short of a masterpiece. Personally I'd give this game a 9/10 on its PC version, but I think even with its flaws, a score under 8 is unfair, let alone under 7 like it got back in the day from some outlets.

I appreciate your selection, but I don't think the problem is "reviewers were too harsh/unfair" every single game. I just think you take 6s and 7s as insults when it just means they are ok games. Don't worry that much about what reviewers said, you can enjoy 6s and 7s
@FromTheVoidGames2 ай бұрын
Thanks man, glad you like the selection of games! oh absolutely. I love 6s and 7s. They are mostly what I feature in this channel all the time 😅. Many of the games on this list got scores below 5 though. Venetica and the Ninety Nine Night games for instance. But even for 6s or so, I take issue with the words the reviewers use to justify the scores. Those of us who don't see 6 as bad will read the review when a game gets a 6 right? I do anyway. But then I see all kinds of unprofessionalism in the review itself. For instance, in the Remember Me review from IGN, the justification for the Mediocre (their word) score of 5.9 is, and I quote: "ultimately, it failed to challenge or excite me as a game" due mostly to "unremarkable combat". Emphasis on the word ME there. It failed to excite that guy, but the aspects he found unremarkable others found pretty cool, myself included. So he is not differentiating problems with the game that are bad for everyone, such as bugs, crashes, and other less obvious issues, to aspects that HE dislikes but others would even find great. If you haven't played Remember Me, you can see my footage for that game in this video, does that look unremarkable? I don't think so. Through that review he makes the game sound like it would be a fart in the wind. Nothing to bother about. That's just not true. This is to me the difference between personal opinion reviews versus professional opinion reviews, which take in consideration that the game may be a much better fit to a person with different prefereneces to the critic. He never acknowledges that such a person exists, thats what I don't like and why I find them underrated. I didn't say any of this in the video, so your remark is totally justifiable. In my scripts I always write that kind of thing but end up discarding it so that the video doesn't get too long. I will try adding more of that kind of perspective, so I appreciate your input!

Of course you can disagree with reviews, they are just opinions. It is not a case of critics not realising there are different tastes, as a reviews as their opinion. So if they didn't like it, it is valid.
@FromTheVoidGames2 ай бұрын
This is an interesting conversation. So, in my view there are 2 entirely different approaches to reviewing. A review can be a personal opinion, or it can be a professional opinion. Those are different. Of course both will have the personal input from the reviewer themselves, but when it comes to recommending or not recommending a game, which is usually done in the closing bit and specially in the scoring of the game, I think a professional opinion serves the public much better. A professional opinion requires the reviewer to have a firm grasp on the industry as a whole so that they can fully understand the difference between an issue in the game that is negative for everyone, like bugs or the game crashing for instance, but many other less obvious things too, and an issue that only a portion of the audience will dislike while the other portion will even prefer. I think this is what makes a review much more invaluable to the public compared to a purely personal review. I'll give you an example: the game I Am Alive. This is a survival game with a whole bunch of survival gameplay mechanisms, such as psychological manipulation by pointing a gun at an unarmed enemy, a stamina bar while climbing that may lead to death, and many more. The IGN reviewer, which so happened to be Greg Miller by the way, hated the game and gave it a 4.5. His tastes in games have been made very public since then. He likes action focused games, and dislikes hard games, he is open about that, and its 100% ok that those are his tastes. But that 4.5 score is almost entirely based on these personal tastes, because those aspects that made the game bad for him are the very same that would create a much more interesting game to someone who is interested in a deep survival feeling from a game, who likes a game to be challenging, who likes a more methodical approach to combat as opposed to a more action oriented one (not to say that someone has to like only one of these approaches, I like both. A lot!), and many other preferences. As someone who likes all these things I can say with full confidence this is not a 4.5, no way. Now, given all that, I ask you: isn't it a diservice to the public writ large and to the game itself to give a survival game a bad score like that that fails to acknowledge that it is an awesome fit exactly to the hardcore survivial audience? I think it totally is. That's not to say that the personal opinion style of review doesn't have its value. But it requires the public to know the critic. Right? If you already know you have the same preferences as Greg, you see a 4.5 score from him and you are safe to completly dismiss that game. But I can't see how that's better for the public in a general sense. I really think the professional approach is much better and more responsible.
@CasperEgas2 ай бұрын
@@FromTheVoidGames thanks for your well formulated answer. I have been a game critic for over ten years. I don't think there is a difference between professional or personal reviews, they are always personal. You have a point though, that all reviewers should give all the games a fair shake. Reviewing games from a genre you don't like to begin with is pointless. Of course we do report on bugs and such, but to what extent they spoil the game, widely varies. So I don't think there really is something like underrating a product, unless the reviewer himself (or herself) thinks so later on. I think it is better to speak about games you like, that often got low critical scores.
@registerednerd92702 ай бұрын
Well said from the void! Yes you could continue to review games from a completely personal aspect but over time if people follow your reviews they're going to learn to not trust you and decide that your reviews are not very good unless they happen to share your very narrow Viewpoint of what makes a good game good or not. Personally I appreciate a gamer/critic who can say that I didn't really like this game but for people who are into this style of game it's a very good one. So many massively underrated games that I keep finding on different channels and thought they were worthless because reviewers who had their head up their ass or who didn't actually play the game, said it was terrible.
