Astral Chain is hit with review bombings, and gets resistance

This happens to every exclusive game

Thats fine, stay away from giving a review.

@Coolyfett: why I would I possibly waste my time on giving a review? Why even waste my time and your time by making me read your comment? Nothing better to do? No life? You’re stupid little buddy

I love the dev's response to all the PS4 port-begging. Some people just don't understand the reasons why this game is only on Switch.

So it's the cows that are port-begging for Astral Chain and review-bombing since they know they can't have it?

Damn, I thought cows were all about exclusives. I guess it's been a rough year when the only major exclusive release for the PS4 is not even out yet (Death Stranding).

I thought port begging was a PC only thing? Cows are learning from the "Master Race".

Cows are generally hypocrites when it comes down to it. They'll boast the importance of exclusives yet trash the exclusives they want that appear on another platform.

I think if not having the game really upsets people that much, they should just buy it and enjoy it.

I've been playing it and having a blast. I'm a big fan of Platinum Games as is, but Astral Chain really is quite something. To say the least it was my most hyped game this year and it's a lot more than I was expecting. I hope everyone gets a chance to play it. If anything Astral Chain will without any doubt be one of the big gems on the Switch.

What do you expect from the fandom that's been spoiled by having third party exclusives in the PS1 and PS2 gens?

No it doesn't. Spider-Man PS4 didn't get this. Smash Ultimate didn't. Shockingly, even Bayonetta 2 avoided this.

Look closer - there are always fanboys giving exclusive games a 1 on the console they don't have and 10 for exclusives on theirs (not discounting every 10, some fans really enjoy the games)

Back in the day, Halo 2 and 3 got bombed, MGS2 - 4 got bombed - and more recently, I remember that surge of 1 ratings for Nioh when it first released on PS4 and that game was timed.

Looks like they just cleaned it up

"Look closer" What is there a secret code only conspiracy theorist can "figure out"?

Aside from arguably hardware limitations, what exactly did Nintendo do to limit Platinum with Astral Chain? The Most Nintendo did was change the game's scenario from generic fantasy, to a more original Police motif.

100% creative freedom sounds good in Marketing. But it's unfeasible in practice. More often than not, you need limitations to be creative. I'm all for letting the developers do what they want, but there has to be some kind of framework enforced to ensure they're doing a good job.

And what makes you think they wouldn't have limitations on PS4 or Xbox One? Stronger hardware or no, I doubt the game would be all that different as Nintendo is the big reason it exists in the first place. Also, LOL at weak sales since it debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts.

I think he meant "actually look at other games reviews." You made a thread about something that is such a common occurrence that it is actually a non-topic.
