That's just like every gaming journalist

I just read the lowest review from that list (which is surprisingly not Polygon this time)

PSU reviewed the game 6.5/10, because he disliked the walking speed.

The guy that reviewed the game didn't even find out that you can press R2 to move faster.

So the guy didn't even learn the buttons. This is the type of people that review games ladies and gentlemen.

Gameblog.fr just updated their review from 40 to 50 because they found out (after interviewing the developer) that we can run in the game. Great "journalism" :D


Gameblog is the worst french gaming site.

 

...But it's the only one who is on metacritics. that's pretty sad.

The game doesn´t tell you that you can run pressing R3, never. Not a critics fault.

Also the real complainst are about the total lack of gameplay, the vanishing of ethan carter is a similar walking simulator but you have to rebuild every story like a puzzle, there is a sense of interactivity and you feel involved on it, however on this game you are only a camera man hearing stories from other people, is more similar to Dear Esther actually (is made by the same people after all), seems rather boring.

It's absolutely the critic's fault. It's no different than running jumps in Super Mario 64. It's something you just figure out on your own. 

From all the free buttoms you can use on a game that does not use almost any buttom at all, you need to use R3 to run? not R1, R2, L1, L2 X, O, etc... R3??

I´m sorry but is easy to think that there is no way to run the way they did it. 

But if they lowered  part of the score because of that, then they should scored properly now.

I guess. I'm conditioned to try it as it's not uncommon to see sprinting assigned to L3 or R3.

*Cough*Cough*it's R2*Cough*Cough*



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Oh yes, R2... for 7 freaking seconds to start running, you need to be retarded to put that in your game and expect the people to know.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Everybodys Gone to the Rapture, Gone Home, etc are prime examples of the diversity of the games that we can/will find on Playstation consoles.

Im all about the experience of well made, mature stories.


Gone home is the prime example of what you can get by being friends with reviewers and SJW crazy people.

 

How on earth can a 5 minutes long walking simulator get a 86 on metacritic and several GOTY awards?

 

 

IMO Gone Home proves exactly what's wrong with video game "journalism".

 

Anyway, this game sounds fun, i'll probably get in on sale.

 

Gameblog.fr is just pathetic, how can you finish a game and never discover that you can actually run? do these reviewers even play the games?

I agree. I actually thought my mind is playing tricks after trying it a couple of times.

But even with R2, it's still too slow later on. I did not mind the first hour or two, but it gets a bit discouraging to go exploring, find nothing and then backtrack all over the place. Certainly discouraged me from detailed exploration in the last few sections, and would bring a score a point or two in my review if I were doing it.

Wait... why do you need to hold R2 for 7 seconds to run? what's the point?... that's really stupid lol.
