Since when the announcement of a new Hero for Hots or Overwatch are amazing news ? Games offering such content for ages for free. What the hell is wrong with peoples expectations nowdays from once one of the best developer in the world ? WoW classic servers ? Really ? Thats also amazing ? Because even individual developers could offer WoW vanilla for years now, so how this is amazing ? Hearthstone expansion ? Ok ...
Where is Diablo 4 ? A new announcement for the next big hit ? A diablo 3 expansion at worst ? Maybe a new Warcraft 4 strategy game that will share the story or even add to story to the new WoW expansion or something similar ? That wouldnt be amazing ?
What is so amazing with a new hero to HOTS or Overwatch or whatever i dont get it.And this is coming from one of the biggest fans Blizzard ever had with thousands of hours in Warcraft, WoW and diablo series. Or should i say ex-fan because everything ever released from Blizzard after WoW, maybe with the exception of Starcraft 2, its either Free 2 play caliber game similar to so many others out there ( hots,hearthstone,overwatch ) or a BAD game ( Diablo 3 ).
@lonewolf1044: So now the only thing that left for Xbox console , i repeat , CONSOLE, is to be compared with PCs as of its selling point ?
Pathetic to say the list ... This is a console we speaking about, not PC wannabe. If someone wants pc, will go buy the real deal. If MS is so pathetic nowdays to offer a console that is all about a PC in a box with no exclusives, this thing will sink hard.
For 500$ you getting the performance of 1080 ti, 32GB of DDR4 ram in extreme speeds, 300$ + gaming motherboard , water cooling for overclocking the already powerful 300-500$ CPU.
All that in a box , Xbox, for only 500$. Go buy it now ! ROooooofl. How stupid you think we are i wonder.
@simonspearman86: Development time or not there are games that follow the "E-sport " root or the "online only" root before and got praised for that.
Now if GT sport should be blamed for being GT online because it isnt called GT online its a different thing imho. Media and critics should ask developer for whom this game is for, what they trying to do with this game, is it with E-sports in mind, its the online only version of GT ? Whats the case ? Because this isnt called GT7 for a reason imho.
If developer for example tries to make an online only game for E-sports or for multiplayer enthusiastists only or whatever the case you cant compare that to a traditional GT title nor Forza and say is bad. E-sport games for example are just that ... online only games with not many modes like the single player games.
Check for example Borderlands or similar games that having single player mode vs Overwatch or other similar games that have none.
Maybe GT sport should have been called GT Online to make more sense as what really is to both gamers and media. Now everyone will blame it for not having X or Z and why it plays only online blabla ... This isnt called GT7 for a reason imo.
@Chico86_basic: We will see my friend , i agree with you but it does matter what Nintendo marketed it as.
For example , read the first lines of this review thats EXACTLY what i was telling to Nintendo fans for months now and i was getting so much hate you cant imagine. Those lines up there says it all and its pretty clear what im trying to say.
Imagine now .. PS5/X2 being out and Switch being only 3 years old by then and media and everyone will start the comparisons ... you think this will end well for Switch ?
I dont care what you think about my writing style. Competing with yourself = monopoly = the best thing there is than call a handheld console that might sound great as far as marketing goes and make people run and buy it but in the long run ... when comparison with real consoles happen, getting smacked. Like with Fifa 18. And this is only the start.
Read the first lines of this review. Its says and proves my point all along. Now go back to your headache, my style is too heavy for you !
When i was saying is a bad thing for Switch to be marketed as a console and for fans to taking it as a console as well, because the head to head comparisons with other consoles will make it look like "SHIT", i was getting some heat. For months.
When i was saying that there will be a time that fans that defending so hard Switch for it being a console ( when i was saying its not a console ) will start hiding behind the " but its a handheld " aspect of this 2 in 1 system ( as they calling it ) and then ill be laughing hard , i was the delusional hater that i only speak craps.
When i was saying that if Switch would have been promoted ONLY as handheld that just has TV connectivity and not as a console would be ideal because then it wouldnt have to be compared with traditional consoles = " Oh no Azatis talking craps about Nintendo again noooo "
Well now look what is happening. Critics since Nintendo promoted Switch as console they have to compare games with other consoles while fans hiding behind the " but but its handheld, its allright " while all this could have been avoided if Switch was marketed and promoted as handheld alone that can play on TV and not as 2in1 BS, and all would be happy. I
Azatis predictions ON again, and this is only the start. Imagine what will happen in 2-3 years from now when Switch will be only 3 years old and PS5/X2 will be out. Imagine then the comparisons , omg !! I dont even want to think about it.
8 might mean great but if you compare this game to other 8s = greats is far beyond in almost everything.
In this era where difficulty its getting praised with plenty of rogue like titles, indies or not , getting praised even more , i dont get how difficulty is an issue here or from whatever perspective i see it , i dont get how is one of the same 8s gamespot , or any other site , reviewed in the past when provides something unique and challenging.
With that being said what were the minus about the game considering to reviewer ? Check those and tell me considering those minus game is 8. This scoring systems sucks. Bring back the 8.5 or something or the oldschool X.1-X.2 so on because its different to say 8 than 8.7 for example so there wont be any drama similar to metacritic scoring. 8 is great in general but this game is close to 9 not close to 7 if you get what i mean and in this case 8 is not the ideal score for it. Too generic
@Gelugon_baat: Man, considering we are in an era when 9.9/10 rogue-like games getting praised again and again, being difficult now is a minus ? I dont get you. And what oldschool arcades has to do with this game ?
