disolitude: you clearly work for Atari or date someone that worked on the game. Seriously. Have you even played the game outside private alpha testing?

 

I have... but have you played it at all?

GamePro gave it a 5/10 and Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 6.64/10 :(

I guess the Official Xbox Magazine has someone there that likes it, giving it a 8 out of 10...Or maybe they just give a lot of games high rankings

 

Official XBox magazines are shills of the game industry they give every game an 8 out of 10 minimum.

I boycott ign.com for not being as professionals as other review sites...

They may dont like Alone in the Dark , but is a game that is definitely not deserve to get 3,5...

Then what should it deserve? Other reviews don't seem to think much better of it.

Oh dear, I've come across 3 videos of the Wii version.

And it doesn't look nice at all.

Video 1

Video 2

Video 3

If the mechanics of the game are rotten and the graphics on the Wii version look like a 8 year old PS2 game, then what chance does it have.

I know the Wii can't quite do what the 360 can, but come on....it most certainly can do much much better than this.

I can't believe that this game has been in development for 2.5 years and this is all they can come up with.



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

here check out the teamxbox review if you think IGN is biased.

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1526/Alone-in-the-Dark/p1/

 

teamXbox gave alone in the dark 4.2.

Gameplay - 2.0
Just, just. Sigh. Tragically misguided.

Graphics - 6.0
Some stuff looks good, like fire, but characters look waxy and plastic.

Audio - 6.2
I actually kind of dug the music.

Longevity - 5.0
If you can finish the game, that's as long as you have to deal with it.

Innovation - 5.0
They tried, that's for sure, but to varying degrees of success.

3.5, looks like IGN found their whipping boy for the month. These are the scores that publications use to reestablish their legitimacy after handing out 9.5-10s to so many games over the past year. Seriously, is their any point to a score below 7.0 these days?

I give this thread a 9.6.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

Dark sector an average game around 70% review score average. Now Alone in the Dark a really crap game based on this 3.5 out of 10 score. Alone in the Dark, is the fifth game in the Alone in the Dark series and man it is a crap game brought back from the past.

 Yeah, it's all politics!

Damn IGN sacrificed Alone in the Dark to earn back some of that credibility.

I am already boycotting IGN, but I'll boycot them again for this.
