Stargazer2600 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Friday the 13th was a huge grind that I don't wish on anyone. I haven't touched it since I got the plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked a bit online and the trailer doesn't seem half bad. The game has horrible user reviews on metacritic though, but I can't figure out if it is truly a broken, glitchy game or if there are just a lot of people who downvoted it just because they didn't agree with the outspoken political opinions of the devs. 1 You shouldn't care about reviews, especially on Metacritic =D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional reviews still have a place. True, true, especially now that people have discovered vote-bombing. Combined with the low completion percentage for this game (when it looks to be something that should be pretty easy), I was unsure though. I'm all for trying out a game, even if it has mediocre/negative reviews, as long as it's not a glitchy mess. If that means another trophy list I'll never complete, so be it. I've realised professional reviews aren't always to be trusted either. Like with Gone Home, which reviewers ate up because of its story background, while I found it to be a very dull game. I like Metacritic overall though because it's usually good at giving a consensus. Figure out your own opinion, true, but no harm in doing a little research. I often read the blurbs to see if the opinions are something I should be swayed by at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I dunno what everybody is crying about. The Bridge is a good game. I loved Rocketbirds on ps3. I'm happy RB2 is on the igc. Edited September 27, 2018 by Phil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameoncomrade Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I was actually just about to order Friday the 13th, so I'm glad it's on for next month. And I'm looking forward to finally try out The Bridge. Edited September 27, 2018 by gameoncomrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intoner_Zero Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 @Spawn I don't know anything about the dev controversy, not going to look into it as politics don't interest me. The game runs fine, haven't experienced any crashes and the trophies so far have popped without any problems. If you are interested in 2064, I'd say go for it! Also, the music in this game is great~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those developers were adamant that they didn’t want Trump voters buying their game. By subscribing to PS+, many just did. In my opinion, it would be a reasonable request to ask for a full or partial month subscription refund to enable at least partial purchase of an alternative game. Not honoring such a request would be akin to Sony also saying, “Fuck off.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 A month I finally don't own a majority of the games offered. Only one I have is Master Reboot. I will say that games is just plain weird. I have no interest in Friday the 13th but will grab the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT__Jedi Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Not impressed with the offerings. I will probably throw The Bridge and Rocketbirds in the cart in case I feel like playing them in 5, or make it 10 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad to me that people even have to be concerned about such things. Open dialogue and respecting another’s point of view, regardless of how severe it may depart from your own, is a cornerstone of civilized societies. Seeing the erosion of that basic tenet troubles me deeply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Vice Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 4 hours ago, DamagingRob said: Isn't as bad as it sounds. You can play the entire game in English, and then change the language after beating it and replay the final section. I actually quite liked Master Reboot and its spiritual(?) sequel, Soul Axiom. Perfect October games, too. Though I feel I should mention the duck trophy glitched on me, so you may want to make a backup save before picking up the final one. You have halfway sold me on this. Should I give it a go? Doesn't look like any of the games I have played on my account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Seems like we're back with the shitty games. Not even sure if I will download anything, the only worthwhile gig, Friday the 13 has some painful trophies, and I don't feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bad month for me but I have lots I'm buying the next few months. Still have to finish Spiderman and Tomb Raider too. So no loss for me. S/N: I never even believe "Professional" reviewers.. most are just as clueless as user reviews lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilGuapo Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Understanding that the IGC is only one facet of PS+ membership, I still thought it a worthwhile exercise to see how many titles made available through PS+ I already owned versus how many I’ve actually played from the IGC. What I found was that I’ve already owned 22 titles (no benefit) versus 18 titles played (realized benefit). To date, the IGC has not really provided me value. I do love the quality online service and cloud saves, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it doesn't appeal to you, then might be better to spend those 4-6 hours playing something that does. I liked it, but don't know if you will.

I just don't understand why they get people who don't a like a certain genre to review games in that genre. I fully understand that people have tired of Dynasty Warrior games. But there are still enough people that like them that you can find one person to give a review in that regard. These antics make it so that when people legitimately pan a Japanese game, everyone just says, "Meh - Western reporter." I love me some Japan, but there's a lot of shit out there.
