He made a valid point, since your post was fairly ridiculous on its face. Your counter, however, is really pushing it.

This post is silly; You're just arguing semantics. There is nothing innovative about a steam punk setting. It has been done so many times now it is starting to become a video game cliche. Seamless cut scenes is not innovative either, have you not played any video games in the past 10 years? You would have come across at least a dozen games with seamless cut scenes. Mind you, the game does not need to be innovative to be good. I don't actually think that is a valid complaint but going in the other direction and doing back flips to try to prove that it is innovative is silly.

Asura's Wrath and Linger in Shadows is where it's at!

100% agreed.

Anyways, I think both games will be successful sales-wise, because like a lot of other people, I'm hyped for both !

"People"? So you can surely bring up 2 usernames where this applies to, with post references? Who exactly is "they"?

Man, people are going to extreme lengths just to defend some problems this game has. Although I do agree that this game doesn't have to be innovated but there are accusations everywhere.

I think wilco nailed it. The game doesn't need to.be innovative to be any good. There was nothing innovative about The New Order last year but it was still great, because of excellent mechanics. This game looks the exact opposite, which just leaves you wanting something new even more.

Shadow of Mordor has some very generic action gameplay. It basically combines the stuff we've seen over and over again in Batman and Ass Creed games. But it throws in a unique, gameplay focused hook in the nemesis system, and it makes the game fresh. The Order doesn't seem to have the unique element, so if you're tired of linear derivative cover shooters loaded with cinematic and QTE's, the game will look quite "boring and generic" as the article states.

Why are people acting as if only Sony games get judged before release? That's ridiculous.

You are cherry picking examples. Did people suddenly forget how much bad press Ryse got before release? Where was the double standard then? I think people are just really tired of QTE's. That is why Ryse got crapped on and that is probably why this game is getting crapped on. Not everything is a conspiracy or bias.

It is hard to give impressions just by looking at a game. The people who have actually played both games (Order and Quantum Break) have a better understanding of how it actually plays. I thought Ryse looked good too, but then I actually played it and everything the early impressions had been commenting on turned out to 100% true. One of the biggest complaint I hear about the order is that the gunplay doesn't feel satisfying, that is not something you can guage just from videos. And like I said the abundance of QTEs in the order probably doesn't help either, fair or not QTE's turn a lot of people off immediately. They would have been wise to not show it or hide it like in the Uncharted demo (educated assumption).

as many times as I want o.o

Really looking forward to it based on what I've seen. No, doesn't look that innovative. Story and setting look great, though. To me, the gameplay looks better than Quantum Break, though that game actually could be innovative with the TV tie-in. I'm looking forward to buying it, too, but in the demos the time mechanic looks way over-powered.

Anyway, why all the complaints about QTE's? I think I've seen one through the 3 shows/demos? And if they're during "story" segments (which would otherwise be cutscenes), then I'm more than ok with it.
