In all seriousness I had to hold back laughter when I saw this thread.

This just looked like the most generic IP ever and mediocrity really deserves to be critiqued.

It could be the best game ever though, who knows!

For a small studio project its pretty impressive, maybe your expecations were too high? I mean its a $30 game so its not like they pushing something very ambitious.

Maybe it will review at par with more hyped projects like Knack 2 and Yooka Laylee.

Also, a game like this is gonna look underwhelming with Mario Odyssey just being released as well.

Impressive?! The game always looked like a mobile game...strange way to showcase the powah of “the monster”. Just shows how barren the XBox’s exclusives situation really is.

Uhhh... I wonder if you actually think you're making a valid point.

Neither Sony or MS just used excluisves to hype their upgraded hardware. These are not platforms relying solely on exclusives, which is why these companies keep buying 3rd party marketing deals.

Super Lucky's Tale is a game they got behind and it was announced around the same time as X1X. So that was simply one of many games hyped to work better with X1X.

Maybe they could delay the X1X so it launches with MS's early 2018 content. But instead hyping it to play major 3rd party games best, a long with a collection of existing exclusives, that's the better bet to hit the 2017 holiday.

Just stop there.

Games of all genres can be ambitious.

I just find your position on budget to be misplaced in this discussion, an excuse.

Well it sounds like you wanted something more ambitious but when I see a 3D platformer at a budget price and beign developed by a small studio, my expectations tend to be low.

I mean not just an excusve, its common sense.

If this game was notable that would be a surprise, certainly unexpected given the circumstance. Anywho, its a game I waited for reviews before ever considering checking out.

I might still pick it up because Damn it, WE NEED MORE HIGH BUDGET 3d Platformers



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

But nothing in my original comment ever implied that. Like, not even in the slightest. So that was not the kind of game I was expecting. I expected something formulaic, just good. I might still buy this on sale in 2018

When the rest of a game is mediocre; these little things stand out more.



So the score is underwhelming... and that was one of the games that MS manager was counting on for the holidays. Will it bring HW?

I never understood why anyone would see anything in the generic game anyway. The first game on Oculus was very mediocre already.

Brand loyalty could help
