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.

That's cool. I still think it's silly for him to use the no "game" comment considering point and click was one of the most hardcore genres ever made though. But as for the game itself. Looks pretty cool, even if I'm not sold on the QTE's
