Damn, 4 hours? Then I must be approaching the final act because I'd swear I'm over 4 hours already.Finished it in 4 hours. Some levels were a bit tough, but overall a fun game with good humor for a fair price. Would rate it 8/10. Don't get all the hate, but it's probably from people who didn't play it and never will.
You will get the time once you finished it. The old Battletaods was merciless. It was in the Rare Replay for Xbox One and even with savegames and rewind option i struggled to beat it. I don't even want to know how many kids got this on christmas and couldn't even beat level 2 out of 13.Damn, 4 hours? Then I must be approaching the final act because I'd swear I'm over 4 hours already.
Some parts are tough indeed and I get quite angry at times. The non-fighting levels especially, even at normal difficulty can be relentless and I can't see a young player or somebody used to most modern games getting through them. Some parts really require fast thinking and quick reactions. Feels a bit punishing at times but then I remember BT was always about kicking your ass (I didn't play the previous games but they're famous for their difficulty).
I'm enjoying it nonetheless. A very quirky patchwork of several different genres, a bit unfocused maybe, but interesting. And the cutscenes are fun imo.
Depends on who made the game. Days Gone 7/10 = Great game, Battletads 7/10 = utter crapI love how 7/10 is a bad score LOL.

jeff hates everything, marvel, ghosts, last of us 2, ect
Jason and Brad don't like it either.
This is honestly worse than I thought.
i know a solid 7 game should be chucked in the trash. Glad we agree
modern day the review score 7 is more like a 4 / 10I love how 7/10 is a bad score LOL.
We have been conditioned by ABCDF system or something. 7/10 is a solid game IMO. Even 6/10 means good but can be improved.
IGN are so ridiculously pro bias these days.... 'oh a working game on Xbox..... 8/10'
Literally no credibility... how many times will they mention Game Pass on Beyond! this week?
The reviews for Xbox are almost double the amount so obviously it makes sense to quote them as opposed to ones for PC. The ratings for PC are already falling after couple more reviews, down to 73 now. Not so much of a joke, am I? lol.
When the meta score settles around 7.5, you’re going to be the one looking biased and frankly silly for getting so invested in a review of a game that’s on a platform you don’t care about, it’s like you want these games to fail just because they’re on Xbox, it’s really pathetic. We wouldn’t be having the same discussion if this was on the Nintendo Switch or PS4, in fact, if a beloved Sony or Nintendo franchise scored unfavorably, there will be threads dedicated to just defending the game, but the exact opposite happens with Xbox games, folks come into the actual review thread to bash Xbox, Phil and Xbox fans, we've seen it first hand.
Congrats on the great game!Some comments have aged better than others.
Yeah you know wassup bring back another KI for the series XMy friend is obsessed with it. He must be one in a million who holds a huge nostalgic flame for Battletoads.
It's a fun time overall. It lives up to the IP, which is fine and dandy by me.
Would've rather had more Killer Instinct instead.
Problem is, there's just too many damn options now.
Why waste your time on a 7 when there's so many 8, 9, 10 experiences out there? GaaS run concurrently with new releases.
It makes sense
What is a 5 to you might be an 8 to someone else. What you consider a 10 might not even interest someone else.
Crackdown 3 is a great example of this. I absolutely had a blast with the game. While everyone was shitting on the game for looking lackluster I was busy flying around the map collecting orbs listening to Terry Crews screaming random shit. It was a lot of fun. I think it settled on a 60 Metacritic, but to me it was better than that. I fully completed the game and had fun the whole time.
Rage 2 (73 MC) and ReCore (63 MC) are other good examples. I loved the games, both offered a lot of mobility options, fast moving gameplay, interesting vehicle options and at least on PC they both looked pretty good. I'd rate both higher than their MC ratings.
On the other end of the Spectrum, there are a lot of decently rated games on MC that didn't click with me.
To me the new Battletoads is a 4. I don't like it, but I can totally understand why others would enjoy it. If you're really into beat-em-ups your options are fairly limited in the first place so this game will be on your list to at least try.

Laugh it up old man. It's not bad. Though being 33 myself, I realise Con Air has memes galore.
