My sister worked on it and she is not happy with it. The directors didn't listen to her (and others employees) feedback. And now, what she said that needed to change and they didn't want to change, (like stealth) now the criticism is exactly what she was saying for months that needed to be added and change. She is saying now she know that she was right since the beginning.
So I hate to be the guy that brings up fromsoft in these sorts of situations but just look at them in contrast: Even their smaller titles don’t fail, they take risks and listen to their employees. Sure it doesn’t necessarily work all the time but taking those risks are what make that company grow. A narrow minded politically driven development team is never going to succeed in a market where skill and passion are allowed to flourish. I hope your sister finds work for a company more deserving of her dedication and clear understanding of what makes video games gud. ❤
@@potatoglizzy3212 lmao imagine thinking fromsoft doesn't do the exact same shit since the 90's. bro from's a lot of things but risk takers isn't one of them. Elden ring is literally just DS3 i herd u liek BOTW edition. With the hype surrounding that studio and how obsessive their fans are, releasing a game isn't a risk at all.
Honestly nothing your sister could have done. The game's premise to begin with is extremely dull. Good mechanics can't make up for an absolutely uninteresting story.
Bro what is the aesthetic here? Middle eastern, ghosts and spirits, tech, Indian outfit, Persian face, force power, gatling guns, random British guy--wtf I am so confused.
That's not a Persian face, it's a British Indian actress(Anya CHalotra-she's Yennefer in The Witcher tv series). I'm guessing it's taking place at a certain point in India's history(when it was still under British rule), but an alternative version of it. DOn't know about the Middle Eastern bit though, but I'm wondering if it's just Indian culture that's being mistaken as 'Middle Eastern'.
Western developers seem to believe that women from the rest of the world look just as unattractive, with distorted facial proportions like the females they see around them. It’s hard to convince them otherwise when 46% of their population is obese (excluding those who are fat & overweight), making it normal for them to encounter women with unusual face and body proportions. For us, this is abnormal, which is why they assume women from other parts of the world are as unattractive as their American women.
Seeing it in video, they didn't even need to uglify her, the animations are already just truly shockingly bad. How does anyone sign their name to this as release worthy? Do they have any respect for their own artistic pride?
my guess is that it's scans and then motion capture gone wrong, more than uglify her. Just bad craft on it - esp. bad animation, posture etc, and shaders, will make characters feel ugly even if the structure would be sound
I think some modern AAA studios now feel like making a main character beautiful sets an “unrealistic standard” considering what we keep seeing as of late
While ND games are super polished, they are incredibly linear movie game templates which have become really old. They really need to freshen things up with their next entry
@@hotcoldman77 Yeah, but they're still super polished and look great. As linear and somewhat generic the gameplay bits as that franchise is, it's still the best in class at what it does outside of that. It only takes games like this to make you appreciate what it does even more.
Recap: "the game is bad and has no redeeming qualities: the graphic is bad, the gameplay is bad, the progression is bad, the puzzles are bad, the fight is bad, the stealth is bad, the story is bad, and the performance is bad... but I can't give it a 1, so I'll give it a 5. Hopefully, I won't get fired for not giving it at least a 7".
@@elxarproductions That is the way review scores work. Can't give everything a 1 just because it is objectively "bad". There are way worse states a game can be in besides just being a "bad game".
I actually point out several redeeming qualities in the review. It's not the worst game I've ever played (I've got plenty of lower scoring game reviews to link you, if you want to see those), but it's definitely underwhelming in many areas.
generic name with generic subtitle. Usually a subtitle is reserved for a sequel, no idea why this needed one. Just call it unknown 9. Nobody is going to want another of these.
I don't really get what's wrong with being ambitious. Why can't a small team try to aim for the big leagues? What should they do? Stay in their lane and make small short stylised games that their heart isn't in?

Does anyone think it is odd that technology keeps improving, like at leaps and bounds speeds that we have ever seen before, and the gaming industry is not utilizing it at all anymore.

@@mattandrews2594 Ah dude every game since the mid 80's has implemented elements of other games, it's called inspiration, just like music and art, musicians get their style and sound from what they listen to and inspires them, artists get their style and canvas by being inspired by other's art, so generally you will always find elements of other things in the artist's work, it is no different with video games, keep proving to me you don't know what you are talking about and still are entirely missing the point.....and yes I saw the game revenues, the 3/4 top games are games made before 1992.....let me address what you are trying to get at..... Games that hit that high of revenue do so because those games weren't made for the sole purpose of money, yes that does matter, but when you make it the sole reason to create a game, you get crap.....they don't have an idea for a video game because they were inspired by something and have some passion for it. The top dogs are literally looking at top games and their revenue and then saying to devs, make that but original, if that strategy worked at all everything would just be a Pac-Man clone Bottom line the people running the gaming business are ruining games because they are taking the devs passion out of the games, or they are more focused on pushing agendas then creating a video game that is fun and actually good......
@@mattandrews2594 Honestly I also want to apologize for saying "You don't know what you are talking about" x2, me saying that is not conducive to debates and tho I stand by saying you are missing the point, my apologies Didn't want to just edit it out, people deserve to see the whole thing, but I am man enough to admit when I make a mistake and am wrong
3:00 if you replace mythical jargon with sci-fi jargon, you get Star Wars and that was a big success so just out of curiosity I’m wondering why it worked with Star Wars, but not with this game.
End western game development, for the sake of the kids. This stuff is pointless. It's literally far cry 3 for all eternity, just getting more esg and worse gameplay.
"Investing in the stealth skill tree felt like a waste by mid game". I felt the same way about Atomic Heart. The game leads you through hours of small area gameplay so I built my character for that. Then the game opens you up into an open world and my character build was less than optimal.

Was there a bug maybe where you were on lower settings? Or was the game footage captured on a lower end PC?
They didn't even try when naming the game.
By normal standards, a 5/10 means "ok" and "normal" "not standing out in any ways".
By IGN standards, a 5/10 means GARBAGE. IGN can't really go lower than 5/10
what? no, 5/10 is allways bad!
@@guntherhuemer1767 if 5\10 is always bad, what is 3\10 then?
Will get it under 10£ in a few months
En dos semanas más bien Jajajaja
Just don't get it at all. Buying a burger and fries is more enjoyable
Wow. I guess after all the "7" criticisms they actually dropped an actual review. Good job, i still dont trust you but this is a start.
ngl, that actually made me chuckle 8:16
Kim Belair: The videogame
Does anyone think it is odd that technology keeps improving, like at leaps and bounds speeds that we have ever seen before, and the gaming industry is not utilizing it at all anymore. These triple A studios don't respect you as a gamer, they literally look at us all like cash cows who are too ignorant to know "any better" and will buy what we feed them.....sad
Because look at the most profitable games of this half decade. It's Fortnite, and the most well-known gacha titles, none of which are using cutting-edge technology. So most publishers are simply following the trend.
@@mattandrews2594 Ah, yeah because those were good original games when they first dropped that didn't have any alternative agenda then being a good fun game.....I see you missed the point entirely
@@chris49749 Not sure why you're calling Genshin original when a large chunk of its DNA comes from Zelda BOTW.
And clearly what I said is right. You're welcome to look up those games' revenue incomes yourself.
@@mattandrews2594 Ah dude every game since the mid 80's has implemented elements of other games, it's called inspiration, just like music and art, musicians get their style and sound from what they listen to and inspires them, artists get their style and canvas by being inspired by other's art, so generally you will always find elements of other things in the artist's work, it is no different with video games, keep proving to me you don't know what you are talking about and still are entirely missing the point.....and yes I saw the game revenues, the 3/4 top games are games made before 1992.....let me address what you are trying to get at.....
Games that hit that high of revenue do so because those games weren't made for the sole purpose of money, yes that does matter, but when you make it the sole reason to create a game, you get crap.....they don't have an idea for a video game because they were inspired by something and have some passion for it. The top dogs are literally looking at top games and their revenue and then saying to devs, make that but original, if that strategy worked at all everything would just be a Pac-Man clone
Bottom line the people running the gaming business are ruining games because they are taking the devs passion out of the games, or they are more focused on pushing agendas then creating a video game that is fun and actually good......
@@mattandrews2594 Honestly I also want to apologize for saying "You don't know what you are talking about" x2, me saying that is not conducive to debates and tho I stand by saying you are missing the point, my apologies
Didn't want to just edit it out, people deserve to see the whole thing, but I am man enough to admit when I make a mistake and am wrong
IGN don’t be shy to lower the score, it’s honestly quiet embarrassing that a game from nutaku has more players than whatever this game is lol
Got it for free with Warhammer (btw awesome game) for buying an AMD cpu. Lets just forgot about this game, Warhammer is enough.
Wooooooooooooooooooow, ya'll didn't give it a 7. I'm actually shocked.
Remember guys always deduct two points from IGN game reviews to get the accurate final verdict before deciding to buy the game.
Bro didn't say a single good thing about this game and it still got a 5 😂. Ign just staying true to what people say about em.
I thought IGN will surely give this game a 9.5...
3:00 if you replace mythical jargon with sci-fi jargon, you get Star Wars and that was a big success so just out of curiosity I’m wondering why it worked with Star Wars, but not with this game.
Because people liked the beautiful human characters from Star Wars, all handsome or beautiful in some way. This main character is very ugly.
The story sounds extremely uninteresting and combat looks really bad that and the main chararater looks really unlikeable.
The trailer looked so fire but the game made me realize my ex's are ex's for a reason
End western game development, for the sake of the kids. This stuff is pointless. It's literally far cry 3 for all eternity, just getting more esg and worse gameplay.
I came here to see if the bozos at IGN would give it a 7/10. Turns it out it only got a 5. I'm shocked
The actoress must be pissed, the game model doesn't look like her
They just made it more gender diverse. lol
@@Phillipmurr That chin thought 💀
So according to the review everything about it is basically just bad… but the game is a “mediocre” 5/10?
Please do some market research before committing a team to work on a project for years.
"Investing in the stealth skill tree felt like a waste by mid game". I felt the same way about Atomic Heart. The game leads you through hours of small area gameplay so I built my character for that. Then the game opens you up into an open world and my character build was less than optimal.
Stop making women ugly!
This game was so mediocre I didn't know it existed until I heard less than 9 people where playing it
