Again. Slow in terms of story/character/backstory explanation is fine. Because it compels you to keep watching/playing to learn more.
Slow burn in terms of having fun with gameplay, is trash game design.

Slow burn in terms of having fun with gameplay, is trash game design.
I love RPGs. I love to grind for loot.
The grind here is just not fun.
If it was truly good and challenging combat like Souls that would be all I need to keep coming back.
Combat is all there is at this point and it's not fun or challenging.
And it's easy at this point. I was told it takes about 10 hours before it gets really good and challenging.
That sucks imo. I gotta grind to the fun?
If I've never played the game, there's no way I would know the shyt is how it is. Reading reviews and watching videos only go so far. And when people in reviews and videos are comparing the combat to Dark Souls then what else would I think about the game.
No review is gonna say "well you just grab these knives and go spam the Y button to kill these little punk ass dinosaurs for 10 hours"
And it apparently didn't review poorly with anybody. And that's the damn problem. People keep saying "it's not for everybody" well the damn reviews should reflect that
Stan behavior.
You'll know when it's not for you, when you watch gameplay and/or play it yourself.
The reviewers liked it. A review is a writers opinion, it's not objective so they don't need to do any disclaimers.
Real talk. You wanted something to play on your One X, but If Microsoft had a better selection you wouldnt have even bought this game. True or false?
Microsoft got the two biggest games out right now.

I'm sure there will be some, not so glowingly positive reviews eventually.
I can see your point to an extent, but I still think you could have seen plenty of gameplay videos that would have given you a very good idea of what the game would be like.
Even still, I like plenty of games that didn't review well.
The Order 1886 immediately comes to mind.
If you ask me, that game gets at least an 8 out of 10. I actually think you would like that game a lot too. It has a very good story, and the game play is similar to Gears of War. It's just a very short game so the $60 price tag comes with certain expectations that it didn't fulfill.
I also didn't particularly enjoy some games that reviewed well.
Here's one. Bloodborne. The game seems to get universal acclaim but for me, it just doesn't really do it.
I play games 2 things which I consider equally important: Story and Gameplay.
Bloodborne's story is non-existent. Therefore, going through the same areas and fighting each enemy the same way for the most part over and over doesn't click for me.
You know what game is repetitive as all hell but eventually clicked with me after a few hours in? Persona 5. That game definitely has a slow build up, and a ton of slow spots throughout the game, but the story is interesting, and the gameplay is as well. Every battle feels like a chess match. I like that a lot.
PUBG and what else?

I never said reviews needed a disclaimer.You'll know when it's not for you, when you watch gameplay and/or play it yourself.
The reviewers liked it. A review is a writers opinion, it's not objective so they don't need to do any disclaimers.
I simply said the reviews of this game would imply a more universal appeal and none of them that I read talked about the obvious shortcomings of the game.

The Fun IMO is crafting new and better weapons/armor combining like armor and weapons yields increased benefits. I haven’t played this version might possibly be more casual then the Nintendo versions
FWIW i don’t care if you like the game, I’m just trying to say it ain’t easy and it does take strategy and it really shouldn’t take 10 hours for it to get good unless you are an explorer extraordinare...like everything YMMV

You can’t use THOSE games as arguments.....then you gotta listen to @itsyoung!! talk about League of Legends or whatever lame nerdfest PC game
That's fine. I'm not trying to say they are the best or whatever. Not doing the itsyoung.
Dude just tried to claim the only reason I bought this was because there's nothing else to play. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Fair enoughThat's fine. I'm not trying to say they are the best or whatever. Not doing the itsyoung.

It depends on the tone of the opinion. There's a "Ehh, I'm not finding this really good" or "I didn't quite like this game as much as others did." They may go into detail and that's that. Those type of conflicting opinions are hard to find.
The ones that run rampant online are the
"LOOOL WHA!!?T? This game is fukking trash
yep, and usually these polarizing games have more of a mix of reviewsPeople keep saying "it's not for everybody" well the damn reviews should reflect that
