Jim's review was for the Xbox One version. The lowest score on PS4 are two 4/10s . 

It's like Jim's just someone who hates fun, and wants other people to be as miserable as he is.

I could already tell from the JonTron thread, but you're wayy too emotionally invested in this. Other people may not enjoy it, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it.

The PC version is at 73 now, looks like the 2/10 of Jim is the reason why PS4 is lower

Damn you are right

Jim always review the Ps4 version of multiplatforms, but when he has to give a 2/10 he chooses XBO version xd

More reasons to never do crowdfunding projects... When will people learn?

Also damn Jim... 2/10

So we should toss out the thing that has produced numerous great games because a handful of devs screwed up?  May as well toss the publisher model in to, as well as the privately independently funded model, and...woops, just binned the whole games industry!

Obviously there's risks.  Obviously there will be failures.  But there's been more than enough successes to justify the existence of crowdfunding.  People did learn.  They learned from those games.

damn :/ I expected much more

Another Mighty N°9 ? Why does this keep happening? just to make us suffer ? every night i can feel the old rare .... n64 era ... even snes era... Seeing this currently... TSC .. Dont Stop Hurting...

I really hope that at least Bloodstained won't suck



 

I let people my rare replay connection and all I got back was people hating on games like Banjo/Conker/perfect dark... Those games have to evolve but people fail to do so :s.

This is disappointing... And I helped fund the game. It only cost me £15 anyway, so we'll see what kind of enjoyment I get out of it.

I still have hopes for Bloodstained and Shenmue III.

Meanwhile Shantae Half genie Hero sits at a comfortable 81 on metacritic. Not all Kickstarter games turn out bad and even in Yooka Laylees case it seems like devs pretty much deilvered on what they promised as far as core gameplay, presentation and story are concerned.

Gameexplains rewiew for instance said that it was an overall good game hampered by performance issues more than anything. I'm not sure about the janky camera and the apparently atrocious minecart challenges but the rest seems fixable at least. It definitively doesn't sound like a 2/10 game from what I can see. It's a shame they didn't optimize it better though.

That might actually be the biggest problem kickstarters are facing, they try to pull funds from gamers on all the major platforms and end up optimizing badly as a result of trying to service too many diffrent ones. Most Indie games would naturally develop for PC or a single Platform first and then slowly migrate from there instead of attempting simultanious multiplatform releases. Look no further than Rocket League and Shovel Knight for games where this strategy really payed off.

I think that the real problem here is that modern gamers just aren't interested in this type of games.

I don't think that multiplatfrom release has anything to do with this. The main problem here is that some developers just want to make some easy money on gamers' nostaligic feelings releasing the so-called spiritual successors to 90's games.
