Forums - Nintendo - Devils Third is a fun game

Like the tester from the german magazine M! Games said in his review: It looks bland, it sounds bland, even feels bland at times, yet the shooting/close combat mix, over-the-top bosses and the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously one bit had drawn him back to game where other, more acclaimed games, failed to do so.

True, but if your having so much fun that you keep playing despite the issues, then what is the issue? ^ After all, games are supposed to be fun!


Do you think most people just didn't enjoy the game? That seems to be the most likely scenario, doesn't it?



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.

Wish I could get it.

*crosses arms*

Hmmph!

Very plausible. But miiverse will show that most there are loving it.

Yeah...but when was the last time the general consensus of a game in miiverse was negative?

I have got to add that the bosses are quite epic, bordering on quite difficult at times. I just beat Jane Doe (the chick who dropped the robe on the trailers) and it was superb! The game can be wonky as fuck at times, but I want to keep playing, I am totally sold on this game.

Take a peek, it's not as uncommon as you seem to think. It's usually indie games though. However, Miiverse tends to use funfactor as more of a basis for a game than anything else.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

What was the average review for Perfect Dark? The frame rate was unplayable many times in The single player and especially in not heavy, nbomb multiplayer. Critics loved it.

Keep in mind that was back in a different time where hardware limitations were heavy and pushing the envelope often resulted in issues.  It was a pionering game, the early ones always have the advantage of not having points of reference to be compared to.  That and what was considered "acceptable" back then was different.  OoT didn't even run at 30fps

Personally, I always saw this game as a potential B-Game.  Much like B-Movies, B-Games can be fun.  I Two Worlds 2 is definitely a B-Game that many enjoyed.  But anyone can sit down and pick it to pieces.  I wouldn't rate Two Worlds 2 very highly or give it any awards, no way.  Same wtih B-Movies.  There are some fun ones out there.  I watched Shoot Em Up once.  The writing was poor, the dialogue was cheesy, and the "political commentary" (forgive me writers who have *actually* done good political commentary, I had no other words to describe it) wre cringeworthy oftentimes.  But it was amusing for its absurdity and crazy action.  And that's perfectly fine.  And I would never rate it highly - not in a million years would I give it higher than a 6 - but I had fun with it and there you go.  That's also fine.  People need to understand, having fun with something doesn't make it necessarily good.  I have played Mount&Blade for hundreds of hours.  That's a B-game through and through.  It has a 6.5 to 7 on most sites and I couldn't agree more.  But I enjoy it a lot and I'm perfectly ok with that.  Critique is about pointing out strengths and weaknesses and evaluating based on that.  Not just on whether you had some fun.  

You might enjoy ProJared's Two World 2 review. It cites a lot that is wrong with that game.

I've watched, his reviews are very entertaining.  Personally, I experienced the Two Worlds franchise on PC where a lot of the control and performance issues don't crop up.  So my opinions are slightly higher than his.  Slightly :P .  That and I also had some fun with the games.

Well he did play on Xbox 360. And he did he have some fun, and he described it as a Doctor shot/10.
