@cboye18: While I do agree that the game is horrible, it is quite unnecessary and disrespectful to associate a mal-functioning product to a human characteristic such as down syndrome.

This looks just poor.

Not sure if its the photo itself, but everything looks like a poor cosplay attempt.

I do appreciate a less sexist take on Lara, but I`ve seen cosplays that looked more realistic than this.

That 4k is not resolution, it's price.

It's blizzard.

This is stupid.

@igorphoenix: But they manage to make anatomically correct breasts and genitalia for women... blah, they just had double standards.

Finally a modder managed to create a mod to fix that.

@winstondoom: Please try harder to understand what I said.

In a few months:

people will not be talking about it

people will not be buying it

people will not be playing it

people will not be refering to it when talking about ME.

In other words, it will die.

Games like skyrim, witcher, uncharted, zeldas (etc.) are single player games that are still talked about, played, bought and referred to.

@cornbredx: Gotta agree with you.

I hate when people use the "subjective" card.

If you are a journalist, you need to base your opinion on what the game aims for and how well it achieves it.

Not if you personally enjoy it despite not being what the creators wanted to be.

You can base opinions by seeing the potential, but can't base a review on it.

Objectivelly, the story is filled with bad dialog, the worlds are empty, characters lack personality, animations are horrible, sidequests are filler.

The game is not what it set out to be. Sure, some fun can be had with it... But just as a bad slasher movie, you may like it, but still critics should note its not oscar material.

I know a 7 and 8, even a 6 doesn't mean mediocre...

But in this game's case, it does mean mediocre. Not good, not bad... just mediocre.

My guess is this game will die in a few months

Those scores overall feel higher than the review themselves seems to think, and if you take into account the amount of good games out there now and the fact that (different from most reviewers) people have to pay for it, it will die soon.

And it's a shame. Andromeda could have been amazing.

@artillery77: Please, read the review, watch the video.

And go look for other sources.
You will see that (even though its a lower score) almost all major websites are giving it low scores, or medium.

And you will also see that this review is very well-written, not leaving much to simple subjective feelings like hate.
