    Absolutely had a blast. Some issues here and there but overall its doing something unique and I will be playing it again. Also said Battleborn of course meant Bloodbourne lol
    Will be interesting to see how far folks get before reviewing it and what that does to their score ;)

      There are a lot of reviews out there yet and most of the them are scorgin it with a 6....what do you think is the cause of that "bad" reviews? (most of them are telling that the narrative aspect is good enought but as a "game" it fails).....in other words, what do you think that could be the "key point" that are splitting the reviewers (and possibly the people) about this game? maybe the combat? the rythm? the difficulty?
      P.S: I've purchased the game yesterday ,so i only question this for pure curiosity, i'm pretty sure that i'm going to enjoy it and your review only reinforces my toughts.

      mel b I agree about origins, Origins was a Fucking masterpiece in my eyes. However I only play like every 3 AC games. Buy one, wait 2 years then buy one. I LOVED black flag and then enjoyed unity, then didn't play until Origins. It felt somehow like a return to roots to me but also being so much more than any other AC could hope to be!!! Since it's using the same amazing engine and should have a crazy good story, I'll buy the next AC for sure. But the story in Origins, along with the combat and RPG side as well as easily one of the most beautifully realized world's EVER put in a game makes Origins one of the best games ever made in my eyes. The graphics on my One X and Samsung Q7F alone are worth paying$60 for!!! Calling it a wait for a sale was INSANE to me!!!

    Finished it and loved it. I really liked that if you want to go for a 'good guy run', you REALLY have to work for it, at least with the default difficulty. The combat feels a bit 'floaty' to my taste, but I guess that's partly due to Jonathan zipping about as a shadow most of the time. Well worth checking out!

      Just gives the illusion of a deep lore given how vague it is told.

    • @josephallen3076
      @josephallen3076 6 лет назад +2

      Respectfully, I'd have to disagree. I think games are starting to suffer from incredibly story driven campaigns or playthroughs. If you don't enjoy the story but like the world and exploration then one usually suffers over the other due to time constraints or budget issues. However, I do understand that people do like a good story in a video game(my wyfe being another one of those people) but I suppose how its told. You mention Dark Souls (my favorite game) and how it can be compared to this (i think that's what youre saying). It only puts it's story in your face for about 5 minutes. It establishes characters, their role in the world, and then free's you from a cell to explore said world. It almost never shoves anything else in your face. You find things out through exploring, reading item descriptions, and absorbing the atmosphere. THAT I feel is how games do a story right. I find the telltale games real boring because they feel like interactive scenes for movies, but I understand there is an audience for this. But, the point being, studios don't put emphasis on a story for an action RPG because theyre making just that; an action RPG. Not putting this comment in to say my opinion is better than yours or something stupid like that. I just like talking about games haha.

      Z In Chains pretty sure it is. You play as a character, and you take on their role in the game world. You control a fictional character in an imaginary world (this is the definition you find when you google "rpg meaning"). Role playing game... unless these definitions changed, because its been like that since DragonQuest and FinalFantasy.

      Agreed....although I've never played it...I watched my dad when I was 7 or 8....obviously my mum told me and my dad off, but when she wasn't their my dad showed me the game...
      I remember him saying you can answer a questionairre to figure out what vampire u would be and I would've loved that....also the fact that u can drink everyone and u gotta stop drinking the blood if u want them alive and basically u can farm people...I remember one girl who let u do it....the quests are dark and interesting, I particularly remember one where this girl I think who chills in a hotel or brothel tried to convince you to get with her and help her fight whoever the fuck and my dad killed her instead and had a fight that lasted 5 seconds...He like had this vampire power that fucked her over
      Not only that but I remember my dad staring at this random civilian and killing him and he told me that he has a power that kills people by looking at them...He said it explodes thier mind, dunno if that's true but I believe it
      I also remember him fighting this stone thing, maybe a gargoyle in a church and he used his revolver which had blood bullets inside or something...again I was young but it was cool and I couldn't care if it wasn't a thing that u could do
      But the one thing, well two things that scared me the most....one mission where u find bodies slaughtered and my dad had to uncover who was behind it....Then he found a body with it's head cut off and went into a sewer to find the culprit and that sewer man, holy crap it was terrifying and he found the thing after and killed it, I ran away tho so i do t really remember much
      The other mission I remember was my dad having to sneak onto this boat to find this vampire or something who was kept in a coffin....And after getting past all the guards silently the coffin was open....And my dad shit himself it was awesome
      I think he got the vampire with the black skinhead and nice looking attire which conveniently looked like him but man
      That game gave me so many memories...I'm getting a pc soon and I'm gonna buy it

    This is a perfect example of why player and critic reviews aren't everything...
    I am baffled that this game is "Mixed" on Steam, people are tearing it apart for all the wrong reasons because they expect such high standards for games that are >$50 which is what this game is priced at.
    It's amazing, after six hours I feel like I'm experienced everything there is to experience in this game but I still want to know the story, there are repetitive things but they are addictive by nature, and it made me want to keep doing them.
    Every NPC matters, and talking to them is fun.
    Great game, and I'm glad ACG doesn't bullshit about the bad but stresses that the good outweighs it so much.
    If anything I think the Mixed reception comes from the fact this isn't a AAA dev, DONTNOD isn't exactly known for their titles, criminally underrated in my opinion

    • @mightymouse5930
      @mightymouse5930 6 лет назад +3

      I think it’s because it’s an underdeveloped genre, so any time a vampire game comes up, it’s highly anticipated. It also has to complete against Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, the granddaddy of vampire computer games. Basically, until we get an open world version of that game with at least 100 hours of content, which we all know is possible (GTA5, FarCry,Fallout/Skyrim,etc,etc), we who know what it was to play Masquerade; Bloodlines will never have our hunger quenched.
      If Bloodlines is the best we’ve ever had, and it’s a 5 out of ten nowadays mainly only because it’s old, Vampyr is only a 4 and mostly because it’s new. So, where’s our 9/10 vampire game?
      That’s why some are so critical. And, those who are critical are the core fans of the genre (vampires). Anyway. Just my observation.
