Imagine getting paid to write that headline. Now imagine being the guy who paid someone to do it.

Wait, I thought 13 Sentinels was weeb fodder bullshit, it has combat in it though?

When I want to read, I get a real novel, instead of some trash angsty bullshit story with graphics that are there to try and justify the price tag.

EDIT: Wow the combat looks like something out of a 1990's PS1 game. This looks worse than many indie games.

You think they get paid?

 

[Lionel Richie]

You think they get paid?

I hope so. I mean this is terrible and incredibly moronic, but it's still theoretically a profession.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Everybody know this, yet for some reason Metacritic is held up as the bastion of a games quality.

I will never understand the dissonance.

Gotta be a Xbox guy?

Reviews don't mean anything now, especially with all the sjw shit going on. Rotten tomatoes never showed a biggest discrepancy between reviewers and viewers, it's insane.

 

[ULTROS!]

I like Persona but in terms of story telling it has nothing on 13 Sentinels.

As huge NieR Automata fanboy, 13 Sentinels has really good chance of taking over as my personal GOTG.

Even Gravity Rush 2? ;p

 

[Mr Hyde]

Ever since games media took a collective dump on Nier back in 2010 I haven't read a single games review.

 

[Camreezie]

I know. Never forget:

What a cuck , not appreciating the greatness of Alien Isolation

meh. This is much worse:

Game reviewers and reviews were great decades ago. But for years we've reached a point where they just don't really matter anymore or have become a laughing stock. This is but one example, but god there are so many. Hell, once user reviews and gameplay streams became more prevalent, it made them feel pointless IMO.

Reviews are about channeling normies into the videogames with high marketing budgets, with table scraps thrown to "indies" and "hidden gems" to maintain the facade of legitimacy. It has been this way since gaming magazines became profitable and accelerated when gaming websites became profitable.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Imagine using the Metro as an example of a legit publication for game reviews.

 

[Codswallop_]

meh. This is much worse:

I'll never get over how excruciating this is to watch, lmao. How long it takes to connect the dots that he needs to jump on that short block on the left to get the height necessary to clear the column. It's like watching somebody fail a basic function test. How does somebody like this play games for a living?

 

[Tallahassee]

Why you care so much? Steam has a much better review system than any site dedicated to reviews. That should tell you something.

steam reviews? you mean something/10 meme, middle finger "boycotts" in ASCII, people who barely know how to turn on a pc and yell that game doesn't work etc
yeah, I see your point

 

[The_Mike]

No one?

For its time it was really weird when comparing to precision keyboard and mouse.

Kinda still is, but auto help is aiming out.

 

[RoboFu]

Persona was a mistake.

 

[DelireMan7]

People were a mistake

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I have a go-to list of youtubers that I share similar taste in games, I generally trust their opinion on anything other than Gamepass or deep discounts.

 

[Cliff Underside]

I came into this thread to shit on the IGN reviews for ORAS and Alien: Isolation, but I see that's already been done.

I won't lie, though -- that fucking SMTIV pic triggered me a bit. What a bunch of ignorant cunts.

You can always shit on them for their god hand review, that never gets old.

Metro are the worst video games site out there. It's because they are part of Metro, the Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesetera of news websites.

I had to boot this game up and give the controller to my girlfriend who has never beaten a game in her life... who's idea of a good game is Candy Crush... she passed this part immediately. The video has to be a troll because my girlfriend is dumb as fuck when it comes to games.

 

[Paltheos]

It feels straight out of the "darksouls of x" meme.

"... a step back in some ways from Nocturne,"

This one's true though!

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Completely agree. I realised this when reviews for TLOU2 came out.

You clearly are living 5 years behind present time sir.

 

[cireza]

I stopped reading "professional" reviews ages ago. Thanks for the reminder of why I did this.

You guys, here on neogaf, are the ones that matter. Your opinion is the most interesting one, and this applies to all forums with people who share your tastes and have the same kind of experience with video-games.

 

[Danjin44]

I personally really hate this shallow comparison between games like how some people compare GhoT to Sekiro because both have samurai in the game even tho the gameplay, the tone and era they take place is different.

13 Sentinels is nothing like Persona, not same structure, story or gameplay, the only part is similar is the characters are in high school and published by Atlus.

 

[Elcid]

Kazuma was molested for laughs.

Makes you think....

What game is this? I want to buttsex people.

 

[O-N-E]

What game is this? I want to buttsex people.

It's an anime. No actual buttsex as far as I'm aware.
