Destructoid dude disagrees with Destructoid dude's review

Destructoid apparently gave the game a relatively low score or something for reasonable things like repetition or whatever, didn't stop one of the other people on that site to give a 5 things they really like about the game and why they dig it.

It's a lot of goofy stuff, but honestly that shit just sounds refreshing as hell. The game is built like you know it's a fun dumb video game, so it has exploding camp fires, because reasons.

Its nice to see different opinions from the group.

The fact that he mentions heavy metal and just the genre of music is awesome. I don't think there is actually any metal in the game but it makes me want to play the game (even though the fact that the video's maker couldn't come up with any actually good reason to play this game probably says more than anything else)

And, finally, on the subject of metal:

**** yeah

More metal

Hey Dude. Fucking Mordor. Fucking cuting dudes heads off. Fucking swords.

Totally fucking awsome man.

"I'm so glad i don't have to play fucking Destiny anymore. That game is so boring. Noone likes it. Everyone plays it becuase there's nothing else to play"

lol. That quote. nice.

Honestly, if the benchmarks for the pc versions aren't fucked up, considering that whole 3/6GB of VRAM debacle, i'm honestly starting to want to pick this game up. After Divinity and DS2, i figured i was tired of RPGs for a awhile, but man, the ass creed movement, the Arkham combat, the nemesis system. It all looks pretty cool now that i pay attention.

I have a good feeling this game will be joining Divintiy OS, Dark Souls 2, South Park and Wolfenstein and my list of 2015 top games. Hoping for the best

i hope Ubisoft doesn't **** up FC4

Randy Blythe is the man, I was very happy he wasn't convicted on that murder charge. Though it did nearly kill the band....

wasnt that guy from Rev3games?

anyway, I feel like this game is being overrated. Nothing I've seen about it screams "great", especially when the game it deliberately copies wasnt that great to begin with...

Lol lambofsux.

Did somebody say piano metal?

It's nice to see sites doing second opinions and different opinions on games though, just lets people know that "Hey, reviews aren't magical scores!" and the entire site doesn't hate a game just because one guy didn't.

Max Scoville deserves his name in the title

This is now a metal thread.

Also, the more I read about this game, the more I want it. AC meets Lord of the Rings? Yes please.

The game looks fun and i love the LOTR setting.....but those were the stupidest fucking 5 reasons why something is awesome ive ever heard.

Those reasons were pretty shit to be honest.

I remember when Rev3 used to be decent. Now everyones gone their seperate ways and left that rotting corpse behind. Adam Sessler took up meth as a hobby even, crazy shit.

I agree.

Oh yeah, and this game looks awesome.

Wow, this thread went way off topic.

metal isn't music. its just noise.

HAHA /,,/

I saw Behemoth live. Best fucking show ever.

There is rumours they are splitting up soon. Nergal wants to go solo. I feel two ways about that. Good and bad.

I never even seen this game before (I had heard of it, but never even knew what it was) but after watching the GS review Im hyped for it.

It looks like God of War mixed with Assassins Creed set in Lord of the Ring Universe (I dont know shit about Lord of the Rings tho, never watch any of the movies... too nerdy for me).

But i'll wait till it goes down in price or comes to PSN+

@mems_1224: The metal they posted, I agree

lolwut?

They are about as mainstream as movies come. They won a combined 17 Oscars out of 30 nominations. They are regarded by most as some of the best movies of all time.

Sure, you don't have to read the books, but at least see the movies. They are absolutely excellent.

Only people without taste would say such a thing. Some metal has the complexity and quality of composition of some classical music (see: Fleshgod Apocalypse). It's an acquired taste for sure, but it's musically some of the best stuff out these days.

What do you actually consider music anyways?

I'm always in for some metal.

Well, since I'm already here I might aswell just contribute

I feel like Destructoid gives low scores because they wanna be different from the rest.

I could be wrong. It's not like I follow their reviews or scores anyway.

lol fleshgod apocalypse. sorry. im not some 15 year old emo kid.

Figures your comeback would be childish. What do you listen to and consider "music"?

@foxhound_fox: @mems_1224: Metal music isn't music

Come on son.

looks like game to get on discount, beat and forget

The Jabba the Hut singers/vocals is what put me off with most metal.

literally anything else.

I literally tried to get in to metal one day, I actually listened to something from every subgenre for hours, seeing if I could get something new to listen to while doing stuff. But nah, it just doesn't work. Like, music is the fucking epitome of art, it is the most powerful art. It makes you actually feel emotions just because of the right combination of noises. So, you only really like metal, or trance, or k-pop (ok, let's face it, people only like k-pop for the music videos), or country, because it corresponds with what you want to "feel". In my case I want to chill out and feel like I'm practically sedated, so I listen to Trance, Progressive House, Deep House, DnB...

So yeah, we already know that SoM is fucking good. So it's fine to go completely off topic imo.

So you have no taste. Roger.

@foxhound_fox: I dont listen to metal so by default I have great taste.

QFT

Banging pots and pans ain't music either

Did I step into off topic?

Sometimes I think the these reviews are just passive aggressive ways of gaming review staff lashing back at their managing editors, like...

EDITOR: Okay, Sam, you'll be reviewing Alien: Isolation, we got a PS4 copy in the mail to review.
SAM: Yes! I've been wanting to play this.

EDITOR: Okay, Erica, you'll be reviewing Destiny, yeah we didn't get a copy in until an hour ago so we'll need you to rush that review out by tomorrow, think you can handle it?
ERICA: Are you crazy? I'll be up for 24 hours straight getting that bitch out.
EDITOR: Well, if you can't then surely we can hire someone who can... **silence, awkward stare**
ERICA: Oh, sorry, no it won't be any problem.

EDITOR: Chris, I need you to review Shadow of Mordor, you'll be playing an Xbox One copy we got in.
CHRIS: What?! No way, I wanted to review Smash Bros!
EDITOR: No, I'm giving that task to Phil.
PHIL: What, me, score!
CHRIS: Not fair, I called dibs months back.
EDITOR: Well, sorry Chris, you'll just have to bite the bullet on this one.
CHRIS: But I don't even like Lord of the Rings, let alone stupid X-Bone.
EDITOR: Yeah, well, leave thatpart out of your review.
