Good to see Shadows of The Damned getting the score it deserves.

So, can anyone with the new Game Informer describe the look of the game/art/screens. Got a steam punk/victorian vibe from the one released screen.

Oh, God, do I wish I could see some scans (plz don't ban me ;_.

 

[darkressurection]

The review mainly just complains about it being too hard, and how the thought of another difficult puzzle took him away from enjoying the story. He also complained because the decisions he made caused him to get one of the worst endings in the game, which meant that he'd have to play through a long game (around 12-15h) that has a high difficult level again to get a better ending.

If those are really his complaints than that shit is laughable, "OH NO I GOT A BAD ENDING NOW I GOTTA PLAY THIS GAME OVER AND IT'S TOO HARD!"

SMH at Game Informer right now.

Did you expect a game like Catherine to get a 9?

I guess an 8 would've been nice but no way did I expect this to get a 9 no matter how much I end up loving it.

 

[revolverjgw]

Does Game Informer's review scale start at 7?

 

[Rahxephon91]

Well a 7 for Cathrine sounds about right from a "mainstream" publication like GI, but I also wouldn't put much stock in whatever they have to say really.

I don't understand why SSF4 AE score that low relative to its predecessors. Probably some stupid reason like "Its a patch!".

The review says that it "only offers two very Akuma-like characters (Evil Ryu and Oni)" and two other characters that are similar (Yun and Yang). It also says that the inclusion of the replay features indicates that it's an upgrade made for the hardcore player.

Who reviewed it so that they may be shunned forever.

- They refer to the AI as "analog AI". They'll have a number of characteristics that are modified on the fly instead of having a simple alert or neutral as you find in most games. One example is that two guards talking to each other will have narrower "vision cones" and their hearing will be duller in comparison to a guard patrolling on his own. Light, mental state, ambient noise ect. will all impact how the AI reacts.

love it

 

[teepo]

sounds like my dream game

 

[GrayFoxPL]

7.75 for Fear 3? Are the fucking dense? Even DNF was better.

Our WoW guild leader, ya jerk.

 

[KefkaTaran]

I don't get this mentality. Every reviewer has their own standards and just because one reviewer gave DNF a 7 doesn't mean he wouldn't give Catherine an 8. It's not Game Informer as an entity reviewing these games, its specific individuals.

A reasonable opinion! I did not review DNF and would not have given it a 7 (nor the 6.75 it received) if I did.

Who reviewed it so that they may be shunned forever.

That'd be me!

I was expecting an 8 at least.

 

[atomsk]

Shocked that EDF:IA rated higher than Catherine.

Having played both, all I can say is... Are you serious bro?

 

[Ozzykamikaze]

Just finished reading the article on Dishonored and I have to say, I'm pretty surprised there isn't more hype. I guess there have only been a couple screenshots and no video yet, but the ideas sound incredible. Maybe I'm new at this and this will end with lots of broken promises, but I can't freakin' wait.

Sounds to me like Deus Creed: Blood Money.

I welcome some grounding here, I really don't know what to expect other than what I read. I got the power up card just for the subscription for this article. I like Game Informer well enough anyway.

seems like this could be decent

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Catherine 7? Damn, was looking forward to that. But Dishonored seems really promising, though.

Paper Mario TTYD got a 6.

Just sayin....

 

[The Spoony Hou]

disHONORED sounds like the sequel to inFAMOUS.

 

[Irish]

The Article was an interesting read. Can't wait to see this in motion.

 

[Weenerz]

Guess there were not PC exclusive games that came out for this issue, I mean, they are a gaming magazine right? Why continually exclude PC from anything that isn't multiplatform?

 

[fr4nz]

There's a long exclusive preview in CanardPC (french mag)

Lot's of new screens and details about the game which will be solo only (no multiplayer).

 

[BigTnaples]

Just got around to reading the GI on this. Sounds like it could be something really special. Deserves more hype!

 

[Small Mailman]

Don't choose the games you play based off of GI reviews. Yeesh


Dishonored looks fucking amazing, I'm in love with the style and setting.

On a purely technical level, it's not very impressive but the art design more than makes up for it with it's originality.

[massoluk]

Bwahaha, I clicked on the thread expecting some juicy revelation on some unethical articles and reviews in Game Informer, like evidences of the magazine getting cash or exclusive for favorable reviews.

 

[transience]

I thought there was a Shadows of the Damned director's cut edition that I somehow completely missed.
