Wait, someone answer my question. They say there's "no game" in the cons but list "spiffy gameplay" in the positives. isn't a game anything that consists of gameplay?

I mean, if it's just QTE's as he says, why would he also list spiffy gameplay? sounds like there's more to it than he's letting on.

He didn't say "No Game", he said: No "Game", implying that it isn't a game in the traditional sense and understanbdably so it will be a deterent for many gamers, this is why it is listed as a con. He isn't saying it has no gameplay and it isn't only QTE's. Yes it ihas many, but that still doesn't invalidate it as a game.

Zack and Wiki is just point and click, but it is a game is it not? Is Dragon's Lair not a game? It is only button presses that need to be done at the right time or else you fail. Is Myst not a game? I think you get my point.

 

Oh jeez, I give up.

You've mistaken my meaning. I love point and click adventures and consider them to be one of the heights of games. I just didn't get his choice of review words. it is pretty contradictory to say the gameplay is great and the lack of gameplay is a problem. I'm not questioning the game; I'm questioning the review. 

Oh jeez, I give up (see, that's not a very nice thing to say)

I don't mind if someone says they give up.

I also explained why he wrote the in the cons area and what the meaning for it is. As I said he writes it as No "Game" because for many people they may in fact see it this way and will see it as a big time con, just like it was for Dragon's Lair.

 

Yes maybe he should have worded it better to avoid the confusion we have here.

 

I also apologize if I misunderstood what your meaning was.
