Ok so I can see his point. I didn't really pay those issues much attention until he spelled them out though. Loading times are rather long and the auto save is a little bizarre. That being said however, I never found any bosses to be frustrating, some a lot more challenging than others for sure and even though they required several attempts before I fully understood how to progress I preferred the fact that there was more to an opponent than a huge health bar, it was different and I enjoyed the break from the norm. Story... eh.... Ok I can't dispute this one, it makes some sense but I really was hoping for more and again the main character has less charisma than my toaster. Yet for the problems we can all nit-pick at all day, the game itself is solid! Absolutely horrific in places (not a criticism) and I'm loving every minute of it, new game plus will provide a large amount of replay value not to mention hunting each area for all the collectibles. A great title and worthy for anyone to give it a go and a must have for fellow survival horror fans.
Tend to agree. I normally see eye to eye with mr Van-Ord. Was very surprised to take the gamble on this game and absolutely love it. As others have stated though, being a fan of the series definitely helps to enjoy this more and Isolation really strikes me as a title that is very player specific as you do have to play it one way. Simply charging around just isn't an option. I've not reached the end yet but I will more than likely hold onto this for a few replays. Great stuff!
Ha, same. I took the gamble and picked this up and I'm about 6 hours in so far and I'm loving it! A very pleasant surprise though I will say that this fames across as very specific to the players tastes. I have no doubt that it's not for everyone but it's for sure worth checking out if your curious.
Ok well I though It looked great! Really enjoy these sneaky kinda games, outlast, slender etc. Was hoping this would be awesome. I think I'll check it out but after the price comes down
Hmm.... very keen to check this out but a little concerned just how 'similar' it really is to AC, I really enjoyed the first 2 of that franchise but after that it went downhill in my opinion and I have no Interest in more of the same.
Good review though, seemed to cover a lot and answered a great deal of questions. Kinda 60% for this right now. The nemesis system looks like good fun, though what's this about bad frame rate? Think I'll keep an eye on the opinions of you guys.
Wow, when you smacked that 6 down Kev, you opened some gates! I have to agree though, for me Destiny got extremely dull way to fast.
It's very well for Bungie to have a 10 year plan for this title but for me, a game should be able to stand on it's own merits and not have to say to it's target audience "I know you might be bored but give me another 10 years, I'll get better I promise". I've no doubt caught the attention of a lynch mob by now and in no way is that my intention. Jeez, I have a mate who literally forgets to eat he loves this so much, and I say good for him and for the rest of you, but don't misinterpret people agreeing with an average score hating on your own opinion.
I tried damn hard to enjoy Destiny and even after I was told that the game really gets going after level 20 I was not convinced. If anything it dropped deeper into a pointless exercise wading through legions of dull enemies to reach a Boss that was nothing more than a giant bullet sponge, no impressive AI, nothing!?
Hats off to you Kevin for calling a stick what it is, a stick! This score is in no way bad it just gets to the guts of what's going on. If after half a billion dollars Activision and Bungie have to fall back on "the battle has only just begun" to hook us all on the DLC wagon, I'm not gonna bite! Sorry guys, I came, I saw, I shot countless bad guys and after all that, it just isn't for me.
