Interesting:

Stiff combat gets repetitive

Dated exploration mechanics make it far too easy to lose track of the narrative and keep tabs on side quests

Technical issues are disappointing given how old this game is

Well it's certainly a remaster, but not a remake.

@HAWK9600: If they give banner lord 2 a 5 I'll delete my account from gamespot.

That's pretty ahead of the curve I'd say.

@naomha1: that's impossible to determine because:

They could have breezes through to upload cut scenes of the game for YouTube

Could have done speed running for a variety of reasons.

I couldn't fathom someone doing that before the internet existed, unless in a arcade or for publishing magazines.

Nothing is of no merit.

@HAWK9600: I don't know if you know but 6 is subjective, and anything between 0 and 10 is defined a number, and who ever constitutes 6 as fair is a close as ai determining what the difference of biases are.

I don't think:

A deeply unlikable protagonist

Storyline doesn't do anything interesting with its cool premise

The open-world design between the more linear levels slows down the story and saps away the narrative's momentum

Warrants for a bad game, let's leave the technical stuff to digital foundry, and story to ign.

So far GameSpot likes fun like a child on sugar.

Mario world is like turd park, it's small and tiny on top of some gawd forsaken building rather near some rural area.

Hell Walt Disney built Disney land in alligator invested marchlands why can't miyamoto build ontop of Fukushima reactor.

Atleast they'll get a discount on land and have a vast build up of tourism.

Well we can always go after the new goCarts now spawning in Tokyo after gaizin bowser hunters legal ban hammer.

Screw James bond, he should play James pond.

Ah the only way to make vr next vr is with some brain wave mapping, similar to those that use it to control motor skills in disabled individuals.

Where this could be refined is where lateral movement and forward and backward movement can have pulses moving into the brain, and if picked up it indicates time to make forward movement or back.

I think it would be no mans sky, but strangely it's not.
