It's not really just being defensive, it is that some people here actually take the time to read and understand what that quote means.

I thought it was a given what it means when he talks about the "gameplay" in his review. Makes me want to post a giant facepalm pic.

I'd rate the game 3 if it's true what he said.

Quick time events are fun if it's not used a lot(like in GOW), but I'd rather do most things my self.

Wait, someone answer my question. They say there's "no game" in the cons but list "spiffy gameplay" in the positives. isn't a game anything that consists of gameplay?

I mean, if it's just QTE's as he says, why would he also list spiffy gameplay? sounds like there's more to it than he's letting on.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

No game but a 9.2. Fair enough...Would like to see other reviews for a somewhat more understandable review.

I know, I know.....just wanted to bust in with some comic relief. On a serious note, this game will continue to be misunderstood and many reviews for it will continue to be misunderstood. I'm just goin to sit back and watch the fireworks, all else is irrelevant now, my 'baby' is on it's way in 27 days....

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think your "baby" might be a hermaphrodite.

He didn't say "No Game", he said: No "Game", implying that it isn't a game in the traditional sense and understandably so it will be a deterent for many gamers, this is why it is listed as a con. He isn't saying it has no gameplay and it isn't only QTE's. Yes it ihas many, but that still doesn't invalidate it as a game.

Zack and Wiki is just point and click, but it is a game is it not? Is Dragon's Lair not a game? It is only button presses that need to be done at the right time or else you fail. Is Myst not a game? I think you get my point.

 

Oh jeez, I give up.

This isn't that hard to understand.

No he didn't. He responded to people wondering why the review would give a high score to a game which, as he says "has no game".

My question is why would he say it "has no game" if one of his positives on the game is "spiffy gameplay" Gameplay makes a game. If one of the attractions to the game for him was that it has good gameplay, why on earth would he say it barely has a game?
