SkylineBlue 22,594 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 The only sort of bad review I have read was from the gaming columnist in the metro who said its just a repackaging of old idea's,not done as well. Other than that, the reviews seem excellent. I probably will wait and get it second hand, though. I still have loads of LOTR to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watty. 5,670 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 not going to bother with this i'm afraid,reviews are all over the place.a lot of people who have bought the game are complaining about the same things,which are-shoddy framerate,crap ai,bad graphics,dodgy aiming,and a weak storyline with cheesy voice acting.

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Why do people bother with reviews? IGN gave AI a 5.9 basically because it was too long,in this day and age a game that takes "long" to finish is a godsend imo.Even though I haven't played AI to be honest.

I never buy any game based on 1 sole review but if the majority are favourable then chances are it's going to be a decent game. Demo's are the real key but so many big games now don't have the demos so all you can go on is other people who have played it unless you can get your hands on a free copy.

IGN gave AI a 5.9 basically because it was too long,in this day and age a game that takes "long" to finish is a godsend imo.Even though I haven't played AI to be honest. i don't base my purchases on one review mate,that would be crazy,but when there are a handful of reviews from journalists and gamers,that have the same complaints such as the story etc,then that's a bit of a red flag to me.50 quid is a lot of money for a game these days,which is why a lot of people base their purchases on reviews.a good story is a big thing to me also,it gives me a reason to keep moving through the game.voice acting is another,it's hard to take the characters seriously,this is a complaint i'm seeing a lot of.as you can tell i'm all about the immersion,gameplay has to hold up aswell of course.

TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Bosh!http://1drv.ms/ZCcGB8 The impressions from Neogaf/Americans who got it early is the game is fucking amazing!!! Im hoping it's not as scary as Outlast & Alien and with it being a 3rd person game i dont expect to to be.edit: Just read the game is letterboxed like The Order Not good!

Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just took me 50 minutes to complete Chapter 1, fucking hell. Could take you about 10 if you knew what to do. Spent 10 minutes trying to kill cunty at the start and then took me 30 minutes trying to evade chainsaw man, he kept catching me and was so confused. Finally realised to throw the bottle back into the previous area and then run Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing would be the limited resources but thats it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
