brejdak93 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Well what else you expected from this kind of genre? Action, shooting, explosions? Well it is interactive movie but it's not directed by Michael Bay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-U-L-L I like your profile of games, some great titles. PushSquare gave the following conclusion: Man of Medan kicks The Dark Pictures Anthology off with a whimper rather than a bang. The format has a lot of potential, but this was undoubtedly the wrong story to showcase it. The narrative is slight and rarely gets out of first gear, the characters are annoying, the scares limp, and the dialogue unnatural. There's constant technical hiccups. In fact, the scariest thing about Man of Medan is how it ever went gold in the state that it's in. Score 5/10 I guess you're just confirming these views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) it's a horror game that isn't scary and is badly edited. i loved until dawn, this is a mile off and made by same devs.I don't mind theese types of games but this pushes boundries in boredem like nothing i've ever played. just pointing this out if anyone is on the fence, don't waste your time. and thanks your profile is nice too, friday the 13th is one i wanna do but probably won't have the time.

PlayerWhiteMage Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hmmmm, I brought this game from the Christmas sale and have yet to play it but are you playing by yourself or with a friend? I plan on playing it with a friend so even if it is dull as you say that might make it a lot more enjoyable, co-op always makes bad games good!

I agree with the guy above that mentioned your great profile! keep on doing the amazing work But don‘t we both agree that achieving platinum in dead rising 4 was a much worse process than man of medan??

starcrunch061 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 So, this game isn't like "Until Dawn"? I thought I remembered people bringing that in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-U-L-L I really enjoyed it, sorry to hear you personally didn't. I didn't think it was as well produced as Until Dawn, but I had a blast with it all the same. I'm really looking forward to Little Hope! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I actually really enjoyed this game and would definitely recommend it if you have a friend to play with who also enjoys these kinds of games. I will agree that it had a pretty bad trophy list though, mainly because of how many times it wants you to replay the game. I also wasn't a fan of those trophies that force you to pick a specific type of choice throughout the whole thing because it was easy to mess up. Still, I liked it a lot and I look forward to the next one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealightbreeze Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Dude....lol like seriously. This game was awesome. It's genre doesn't appeal to everyone. Don't bash the game because you did not like it. Or, are you just mad because the trophy difficulty isn't easy? I love this game and also Until Dawn. I am looking forward to their next game, Little Hope that is out sometime this year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) the qte's are cool, the don't move qte's are especially cool better then until dawn. but the characters are just dull and in one scene alex jumps up and starts banging on a door because the bad guy took his GF, and in the next scene his friend tells him to sit down and hide his hands behind his back so they can get the drop on em as if he's still cuffed, yet in the previous scene he was banging on the door, and the bad guy was facing him straight up. and this happens multiple times per playthrough, like each scene is triggered after certain choices with no regard for continuity between them. i don't mind replaying the game multiple times, but every verbal choice you make has to be scrutinised because the head/heart choices are labelled so poorly half the time you can't even see them. it's just annoying.

You do realize that is the same as Until Dawn? That's the ENTIRE POINT of the choices. That's really sad you hate the game this much. I understand it's not everyone's favorite genre. But it was a fantastic game. Stop bashing the game because you don't like it. Just looking at your profile- obviously this is not your type of game. It's not guns and blowing crap up. Maybe if you hate it so bad- stick to the game genres you do like. Edited February 12, 2020 by sealightbreeze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saying "Stop bashing the game because you don't like it" is like saying I can't make a topic regarding my opinion on a game I personally don't like that somebody else likes. You think it's sad? I think it's even more sad that people have to take sides regarding something they like or dislike. Then when someone comes and says "I didn't like it so much" they automatically think they're bashing the fucking title. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Oglop Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Subjectivity is key here - some people like the game, some people don't - both are totally acceptable. I think the issue is how things are framed in general - if you speak as if your opinion is fact - then people are far more likely to argue with you. There is a difference between saying "This game is crap and it sucks / This game is amazing and brilliant" which implies objective fact and "I thought this game was crap and that it sucked" / "I personally feel this game is amazing and brilliant". which implies subjective opinion. It doesn't take any effort whatsoever to consider how we phrase things before we write them really.

"Broccoli tastes bad." "I think broccoli tastes bad." These are equivalent statements. I shouldn't have to preface a clear opinion by saying, "I think". In fact, at least in my day, writing courses taught you NOT to use phrases like "I think", "In my opinion", etc., because it weakens the writing. There are objectively bad things about games. But a statement like, "This game is boring" isn't one of them.

There shouldn't be a difference, but there absolutely is and the logic there only works if 100% of the group is on board with that approach, which is impossible to guarantee. It's especially important in the context of a forum post format (or any social media format). It puts ownership on everyone to be as specific as possible. If people want to inflame at it after that, it's more on them than before because there is no question of intent whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaseemJohn Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I enjoy majority of these narrative driven games and thought until dawn was great but Man Of Medan was by far the biggest disappointment of the genre I’ve played. None of the characters are likeable, the story isn’t as intriguing or suspenseful, it relies on too many cheap jump scares and the ending is so abrupt I was left like that’s it? Wow what a waste of 4 hours. I didn’t even pay for the game and I still felt robbed. Edited February 12, 2020 by NaseemJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) The problem IMO is less that someone came on here and posted an opinion, and more that they did so on the basis of directing others to "steer clear" of the game. It's distasteful and gives the impression that you think too highly of your own opinion, since you should know there are always going to be people out there who will like the game and shouldn't heed your advice. It doesn't help the OP is like 2-3 short sentences and looks like it was written by an angry 12 year old. People generally don't mind reading a differing opinion of their own, but no one likes being told what to do.

Quink666 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yes this game is not as good as Until Dawn. No supernatural element, no good scares, fairly booring character with a ton of cheesy lines. The platinum was really boring aswell. Still worth a playthrough if you can get it at the right price. Little Hope looks promising atleast, i really hope we get some witches or anything supernatural tbh. Don't want any serial killers or dangerous chemicals, that just doesn't do it for me anymore.
