I was quite fond of this game when I was younger, but according to Tom, my sentiments lay biased from rose tinted glasses

Also, lulz Tom McShea:

I've no desire for this remake, hell I still have my old NES and my Duck Tales cartridge for it, just the way I remembered it and cherished it

Uh... what ?!

This looked like it wa shaping up to be a brilliant remake. Kept in spirit of the original one and also the songs were remade brilliantly. Will watch the review and see what is so wrong with it :?

Apparently not enough checkpoints leads to frustration, but then the bosses are too easy, so its boring.

I think this is very much like Rise of The Triad, if you want to play a game that's very remniscent of old school games, you got to take some of the frustrations with it.

I'm actually interested in buying Ducktales for the soundtrack alone. Too bad you can't buy a version that has an OST.

So someone who doesn't like the original game tells us what he thinks of the remake of this game he doesn't like.

Very enlightening.

Boss: "Hey Tom, did you ever play the original Duck Tales?"

Tom: "Yeah, I hated it."

Boss: "Great! You've been assigned to review the remake."

Polygon gave it a 5/10, but they're also a joke site. They're also the ones that gave TLOU a 7.5 and Dragon's Crown a 6.5 because it features overly curvy women.

So, does he even ENJOY games? Seems every game I see him review they are pretty badly rated from his 'opinions' of it.

To be honest, gameplay does look dull and repetitive...... but 4.0 looks a bit harsh.

yeah he has this in his profile pretty much proving he scores games to go against "the flow" and not because he's being objective.

No it has more to do with the fact he hated the original game and shouldn't have been reviewing it on the first place quite a few of his most controversial scores comes from the fact he admits to total bullshit. Skyward sword: I totally didn't know how to control it I kept trying to control it like zelda twilight princess therefor I shall give it a lower score for control issues.

You could just HEAR his frustration at having to ACTUALLY play a game to review it. He may call everyone that loves the Ducktales game blaming nostalgia but I doubt he even knows what that word even means since he doesn't seem to like anything.

BPoole96

True, what good is a reviewer to us ? We can make up our own opinions about how good or bad a video game is.

Now making games like Bastion, that is something we can't do.
