    @faithxvoid: Basically the same experience but with the Xbox Elite 2. Love the heft and feel of that controller, but had to send it in for repairs 4 times while under warranty and looking at forums I ...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Split Fiction Review - It Takes Pew Pew.

    @MigGui: How is it "nitpicking parts while ignoring the rest" when the fundamental element is exposed for all to see? Your primary argument is that ALL reviews are purely opinion based, but then you p...

    @MigGui: You know nothing about the Michelin ranking system if you think it is down to an individual's "opinion".>"Someone whose opinion of a 10/10 being the pizza joint just wouldn’t be hired by M...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Split Fiction Review - It Takes Pew Pew.

    @MigGui: You missed it on both counts actually. It's a much more neutral take closer to:"A 10/10 game is the kind of game that everyone can recognize as a 10/10 game even if it's not something that th...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Split Fiction Review - It Takes Pew Pew.

    @MigGui: You've gone so far afield of what I've actually said that it's quite comical. My primary point was that a rating of 10 should NOT be a "matter of taste" situation.I'm happy for the game doing...

    @joecollin: I never debated that the 10/10 is their opinion, I'm saying that by Gamespots own measuring stick, a 10/10 is a "Essential", meaning something that anyone who is into gaming should try. A...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Split Fiction Review - It Takes Pew Pew.

    @MigGui: Sure contrarions exist, no one is debating that, but the point is that they should be an outlier for a 10/10 game, not a sizeable minority of the people playing it. Also there is the reality ...

    @tronrad9000: Your "concern" about the time I spend on gaming websites is noted "bruh".Though the funny thing is that I spend less than an hour a week typically on any gaming websites, so I think you ...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Lost Records: Bloom And Rage Review In Progress - Leave Nothing But Memories.

    @tronrad9000: You just demonstrated the absolute uselessness of the "adventure game" genre. When a genre can be used to describe Legend of Zelda, Tomb Raider, point and click games, and text games...i...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Split Fiction Review - It Takes Pew Pew.

    @joecollin: Well but that's kind of the point. A 10/10 should not come down to "a matter of taste".They are supposed to be genre defining games that even people who don't normally like playing that ki...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Lost Records: Bloom And Rage Review In Progress - Leave Nothing But Memories.

    All of that is totally irrelevant and a straw man argument. Plenty of games with female leads do AMAZINGLY well and not because they look like Stellar Blade. Same for non-white or LGBTQ+ characters an...

    @mogan: For this game? Not yet that I am aware of, but they are also in the middle of layoffs and a strike, so they're probably a bit preoccupied at the moment considering it launched barely a week ag...

    @doyoyo: You mean your strawman of his argument would. The argument is not to tell developers to NOT make indie arthouse style games that play with the very concepts of what it means to be a game, but...

  • Akriel_Boulve posted a message on the post Zelda Master Sword Replica On Sale For Big Discount At Amazon.

    What a ridiculous price for a sword made of the same plastic as Legos! I remember buying full metal replicas of the LotR swords for the same price. What a joke.
