I don't understand that statement. His review is his opinion. If he doesn't like a system he can't turn around and call it good anyway. What would be the point in reviewing it if he wasn't going to give his opinion?
Maybe because his opinion shouldn't cloud his review? I dunno, but it does seem like he's missed a lot.
Thank you, and yeah... I could've probably worded stuff so it was more obvious that I was trying to ask for confirmation/new information rather than as if I'm out to talk down on the game.
And I'm not some crazed fanboy who likes this at all costs. I think I was heavily critical on here and other places of Skyward sword and got slagged to the hilt and called an Xbox fanboy loads. Can't win
I remember playing Might and Magic something something that I think had weapon degredation, but even then I could fix the stuff, I guess I'm one of those who grow fond of a weapon and want to keep and upgrade it more so than see it become a consumable, but if it works in the game I'll of course give it a chance (if i get my hands on it for a price i can accept, even if i have to wait)
It does for me, and again, I normally can't stand it. M&M being a great example!
Yeah, sorry about that one, was part of the way we got into things it seems. After all, I'm a final fantasy guy, we're not known for being the most sane people either.
Woooooah, let's not go there. You'll have you, me and
@Revan going on for pages about 6 vs 7!
You,
@Earthquake and
@Drainy did well in explaining stuff despite my edgy way to enter the conversation, Obviously the research I had done wasn't near enough (though as i mentioned, when I see stuff universally praised i tend to look for the negatives so I don't end up jumping on the hype-train and end up dissapointed, which is why i figured this thread would be able to give me pointers on if the system was as bad as it seemed, and if so if there was any intent on fixing it.
I had a view, but my view is open to change, like how you guys have changed my view from "unplayable and won't ever buy it" to "i really want to check it out someday" with this conversation. Naturally I'll have my preferences, like loving leveling systems and grinding myself to be overpowered at some point, but I can accept that it is a different kind of game that emphases on the adventure and survival instead of the kind of play i prefer, doesn't mean i cannot enjoy it for what it is. And yes, the insane hype-trains that plague the gaming-world these years is the reason I'm entering looking for faults, because reviewers these days don't highlight it, and the only people who will tell it as it is are the players who you can have a conversation with without... Well, what we almost ended up doing, just shaming each other.
This is proper debate, and we used to have it loads on here back in the day when Weaste was around and we could all end up slagging each other off, then laughing at ourselves for it! Underneath all that we get to the point where we all have a little acceptance that we might be wrong on some things and then actually learn something.
@Art Vandelay has definitely made a great case now, and one which makes me feel bad for assuming he just gave up.
My standard way of looking at games is: Trailers, look for battle systems and if it's close to those I enjoy or if it's something i can accept for the magnificence of the rest of the game, then i look at the hype and wait for player-reviews, but while i wait for those i look at standard reviewers if it is a game that gathers a lot of hype, like in this case. I was wrong with only watching lobos for half an hour though, which made me think the system of breaking weapons was so flawed, the issue was mostly with how frequent it seemed, not the basic idea of it (despite, as mentioned, preferring other systems).
Ugh, I can and have on here told some stories about trailers and all that. I still hate them and most 'pro' reviewers to this day.
The Witcher 3 really lived up to the hype for me, despite me never being able to finish the damn thing because of headaches during usage of the witcher senses. I guess the game has got me holding my ticket for hype-trains again in case some stuff comes out and does the same for me. I think we're in agreement here, but the sillyness of the overhyping everything to the next greatest thing ever is why people mostly try to shield themselves from it, and end up trying to look for negatives instead of what they can enjoy (before they buy stuff).
We are definitely. Witcher 3 is a great game, but I'm glad I didn't read into the pre-release hype. I looked on it how I saw it, I've even been a bit picked on in here for it
But to me, the Weapon degrading and leveling system in that game isn't a patch on Zelda, and let's not get started on the crafting/alchemy/oils side. Zelda is light years, to me, beyond what Witcher did there.
I'll just sum up that I'm convinced that I should give it a try if i get the chance (naturally i'm bound by economic limitations and already having invested in a ps4). Once I see people start to sell them for a price i can afford I definitely will check out the game as my major issues with how I've come to gather the game to be like has been sorted thanks to you guys.
That's the best way. For a Nintendo fanboy (apparantly), I've not once told people that the switch is a must have, in fact I believe ever time I've told people to wait until more games come out to justify it, or they have the funds. But Zelda really is, at least some point in your life, an absolute must play. There really isn't anything like it ever, and I know, I've played virtually them all
