Whatever man. Fallout was brown before brown was cool.

Haunted said:That you think Enslaved is the former, and I think Enslaved is the latter is the point of contention here. I thought the combat in the demo was ok. It's not Bayonetta, but it's not Dynasty Warriors either.
subversus said:What is funny is that they've already said that combat will make like 30% of the game. But noooooo, it should play like the greatest slasher of all times since this guys making DMC reboot.
Definitely.Wallach said:Whatever man. Fallout was brown before brown was cool.
I will say this, since DmC is 100% defined by its combat, they better make that part the fucking bomb. Decent might cut it for Enslaved, but not for DmC.subversus said:What is funny is that they've already said that combat will make like 30% of the game.

But man, the Oasis in Fallout 3 looked fucking embarrassing. :lol

I think the wasteland and city remnants looked fine in their devastation. The character models however...HK-47 said:Fallout 3 as a whole looked fucking embarrassing. Clearly this does not affect sales in the slightest.

I expect DMC to get a 10 when the time comes.

Nuclear Muffin said:Holy crap, an 8 for Enslaved :lol
There really is no defence for this one. Having played the demo I can safely say that this is utter bogus, it is an absolute pile of shit of the highest order with the worst controls of any action game in existence. Giving it an 8 is an insult to the intelligence of their readers.
But then again it is a British made game so Edge are happy to lie to their readers to support their friends at Ninja Theory.
So basically, Europeans are liking it.Fortinbras said:As far as I remember Enslaved got 9 out of 10 in Level (Sweden, Denmark or something) and 90% in PS3M (Germany). The reviews are going to surprise some people. It seems Ninja Theory delivered.
(I liked the demo.)
Kiriku said:Based on what I've heard and play of Enslaved, I would be willing to rename it Unslaved. Because it reminds me of the Uncharted games, but with a staff instead of guns.

Haunted said:So basically, you have to be a european to like it!
Call it unstaffed. Which is what they will be if DmC bombs heyoooooKiriku said:Enslaved got 9/10 in the Swedish mag LEVEL earlier. So I'd say there may be reason to believe the 8/10 is more than just Edge making love to a UK developer.

As a Castlevania fan I find this dissapointing. Looks like it's another Other M. That is to say, it's a good game but not a good Castlevania game. Just like Other M is a good game but not a good Metroid game.MadmanUK said:Castlevania - 15-20 hour playthrough. The 3D spin is a greater success than anyone could've reasonably expected.
It's a vehicle that will win over more action fans than true-bloods.

Two of my favorite franchises getting neutered in the name of mass appeal. Ugh.
I'm still buying it day one though. I had a lot of fun playing through Other M (played through it three times back to back) so it's not like I didn't enjoy it. I'm sure Castlevania will be a similar experience.
jetsetfluken said:I just hope Konami brings IGA and co (Yamane!) back for the next Castlevania. I don't know about another console one, maybe finally a new handheld one. Something's been missing from my life with no IGAvanias every 2 or 3 years.
Like you said, Lords of Shadow looks like a great game and I will buy it day one and complete it, but I can already see it won't have that "Castlevania" charm.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuckin nice.Y2Kev said:Call it unstaffed. Which is what they will be if DmC bombs heyooooo
Young Nobleman Of Sadness said:The bits of the soundtracks released so far doesn't really make me disappointed by the absence of Michiru Yamane...
And careful, maybe you're missing "Iga's charm", rather than the castlevania essence...
We'll find out soon enough. The demo is freakin' awesome by the way.
P.D: Pot Roast as a recovery item must make an appearance in this game!!!
They are video game journalists. So they probably only watched the cut scenes. :lolPrine said:Woooo keep em coming :lol :lol
Edit: Edge defense is, they played the full game.

So an 8 from Edge is equal to what in terms of other review scores?

Oh, that's easy:Despera said:um... That's not what I meant.
To simplify the question "An 8 from Edge is like how much from IGN, Gamespot, 1UP ...etc?"
It's not surprising, though, is it? I mean, the game was developed by people who have had no connection to anything Castlevania and were tasked with making something different.VideoMan said:As a Castlevania fan I find this dissapointing.

Dever said:It's not like the platforming is any better.
I didn't enjoy the demo, so I'm surprised at it getting 8/10. Definitely interested in Castlevania, however.

Segata Sanshiro said:If it's a game you want to like, an Edge 8 is like a 10 from anywhere else.
If it's a game you want to dislike and it's from anywhere on the European continent, an Edge 8 is like a 5 from anywhere else.
If it's a game you want to dislike and it's not from Europe, then an Edge 8 is like an 8 from anywhere else, with the important proviso that all game reviews are shit anyway so why listen to any of them.
No, actually, each number represents itself. The revolutionary has been retired given that it is unfair to expect games to reach the high bars set by Mario 64, Zelda, Half Life 2 when the 3D revolution is actually over.
