| It was indeed a list of facts about Journey Yeah the second comment was some top nonsense. It was hard to find comments that didn't give it away too much |

| The last review even more PS4 bashing then Journey is almost fact about the art statement and that's what I've always said about Journey and I've always said as a game it's okay.
Also was that Masbate, Andy to get me post here? |

| Sorry for the delay, guys - for some reason my login marked this post as already read. Here's three rants - it's a shame to try and find one that will give you some kind of clue - the rando ones are pretty good: - Hold on to your butts...:
Hellodarren1 actually gets the closest to comprehensive criticism, although we'll never know if Darren1 received his greeting: This is the worst so called 'finished' game I've played for a long time. After reading so many 10/10 reviews I thought this is a must buy, but you should not waste your money on this horrible game. The graphics are terrible, they are the worst kind of lazy programmer 'art'. At first I was quite overwhelmed by the gameplay possibilities, but after exploring caves for ores and built a house I become incredibly bored of the tedious and repetitive nature of the so called gameplay. You should also be warned that there is absolutely no in-game help whatsoever. I had to regularly flick back and to between a help wiki which is completely unacceptable in a finished game. Combat is utterly boring requiring no tactics and it's so easy to use a few simple tricks to never have to worry about them again so there is no challenge. The game is also riddled with bugs that seemingly take years for the creator to fix and the ending is pathetic. Do not be fooled by the sycophantic "professional critics", this is a terrible game!
amirmahdii manages to explain his 0/10 with many postive comments: i think its not a very good game because of its bad graphic but its a real open world game as i seen ever before another negetive notice of this game is that we cant use mods easily its hard to work.with the mods
Lastly, the beautifly poetic 4kanthugz writes: **** no storyline **** like graphics servers full of morons have no good sides realism is **** only good side is creative worthless piece crap game boring out a hell ..

| Guys it is indeed Minecraft! Jay wins by buzzing in first.
Honestly there are so many 0s I could have used from people largely praising the game. If Metacritic wasn't bad enough, letting small kids write reviews is the worst. |

- I give this game a zero because you can't even see your own HP, wtf. I think that even if this game had Master Chef it would get an 8. Only because his shooting is awesome. the controls feel wierd and when i kept pushing up on the [controller] my man kept moving left? Worst game ever.

- This unpolished rehash isn't even worth a rental. It amazes me that people rate this disgusting game 10/10 due to some pathetic sentimentalism for [developer]. Anyone that actually enjoys playing video games will hate this piece of rubbish. It's nothing more than an underwhelming, underperforming, useless piece of [developer] trash that was created to make money off of the idiots that mindlessly purchase anything [developer] craps out. Seven years after the release of [previous game in series] we get a new [name of series] game with a worthless level editor, utterly useless online play, and a bunch of terrible new levels that kill you at random. There is no excuse for this level of failure - [developer] is raking in money hand over fist, and they don't care about making good games anymore. Thanks for screwing over your loyal fans and releasing garbage games like this solely to make fast money, [developer]! It seems that most people are too stupid to notice so I guess you'll continue to get away with it. Anyone with a brain between his/her ears should avoid this game at all costs.
Do you like video games? THEN YOU'LL HATE THIS VIDEO GAME. (I had to butcher this next one with edits to avoid totally giving the game away - although it's still pretty obvious - but this is too hilarious not to include) - RayA wrote:
- I don't believe how high these ratings are. It's just a whole bunch of [developer] characters, and most of them I've never even heard of. (Who the hell is [character]?) And also, it takes a whole bunch of game elements that really weren't that good in the first place, and made it into the ultimate pile of crap. I tried it with some of my [name of game] obsessed friends, (for gods sake the people like have no lives, thats the only thing the do. while playing) and I quickly learned how bad it was. I rented the game, just to see if it was the first impression, and sure it really wasn't. At some points the cutscenes made me laugh, because this retarded game was trying to take itself seriously! Wow. On the technological aspect of the game, it feels like a whole bunch of slack offs made it in 1 week. The sounds are so repetitive, sometimes I just muted it. [character] kept screaming when I was pressing [button combination], and it was all like NUTMEG! NUTMEG! Seriously wtf? The worst of all is [character] and [another character]. (whats the difference anyway?) They just make THE SAME annoying noises OVER and OVER AGAIN! [ATTACK NAME]! [INCORRECTLY SPELT ATTACK NAME]!!!!!! [SAME INCORRECTLY SPELT ATTACK NAME]!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why this game was rated T, because I think it should of been rated like EC. They also really slacked off on the characters, and variety. There are supposed to be a whole bunch of them, but at base it's only like 10. The rest are just stupid branch offs. Lets take [character]. theres all these retarded variations that make no sense, like "[variation on character]" or "[variation of character that isn't in the game]" or "[variation of character that was in previous game in series]" or "[VARIATION OF CHARACTER WHO ISN'T IN THE GAME BUT SOUNDS THREATENING]" (Oh how scary! I think I just crapped myself!) And last, and probably the worst is balance. If you haven't noticed, I believe this game was supposed to be built sort of like TF2, where every character is unique, but all have strengths and weaknesses, but these are equal, so no one is truly better. They did not probably test this for very long, so there is obvious little "nooby" things you can do with a character, and if the game was better, they would either release a patch to fix it, or better yet, just don't release a game like that. The music selection is also bland and revolves mainly around TWO MEASLY MEASURES OF COMPLETE RUBBISH. This game is truly way too credited, and there are probably things that come out of by bum that are more entertaining than this.
Once this is guessed, I'm linking the unedited review. It's amazing.

| Is it? That doesn't sound like Halo to me, unless ODST really is that different.
The "whole bunch of [developer] characters" is leading me to think of some sort of mashup game, but I'm really struggling for what. |

| Right, I'm gonna go with Killer Instinct? I was thinking Street Fighter, but the mention of Master Chef and using developer characters puts me on that one. Definitely a fighter, though, right? |

| I think you might be right, I convinced myself it was a shooter after the master chef comment, but that certainly adds up for the rest of it. |

| Brilliant stuff indeed. Feast yer eyes! - JonathanD. wrote:
- What the heck is so great about this game? [Game] is the most overrated game ever. Okay graphics ([year], people), but the gameplay is boring and almost anti-addictive. I respect it though because without [game] there wouldn't be gems like [other game]. Also WAY TOO HARD. [Another game in same series] is much better. For shame, [person involved with game], for shame. 3/10
So anti-addictive, they prescribe it to heroin takers! - WaterTiger5 wrote:
- This game basically sucked. Classics are not always good. The graphics were horrible [franchise] had way better gameplay and graphics. Bosses were lame and repetitive. [Remake] was better because the original is not the best. [Main villain] looked like an oversized stuffed animals. The gameplay overall was boring got bored after collecting a couple [collectables]. The one thing I liked was some of the level designs. Although many [console] games looked way better such as [franchise] or [franchise] 3/10
I want to fight (an) oversized stuffed animals in my games please! - RunetheKoopa wrote:
- I'm sure we've all heard about [game], one of the world's first [genre]. The story is the usual unoriginal [franchise] storyline. [Storyline summarised in 8 words.] The gameplay involves collecting items called [collectables] across [number] levels by completing different tasks. However, it is brought down by bad controls and a terrible camera which make the game more difficult than it should be. The graphics are smooth and there is a decent amount of variety in level design. The music is mostly your generic happy platforming music although [level] and [level] are exceptions to this. [Game] suffers from some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard in my life. The worst part? The worst voice acting in the whole game is the first thing you hear when starting the game.
Overall, while [game] was innovative and mindblowing when it was released in [month] [year], it aged very quickly and time has not been kind to it at all, making what was once amazing back then, a bad game now. 0/10 And this one just made me stare in disbelief. A reasonably grammatical and sizeable review, mentioning some positives, that ends with the "OMG Halo sux" anti-fanboy score of 0/10. Easy one, I think. |

| I'm gonna go with Mario 64. I was thinking Sunsine, but the stuff about it being a classic and overrated didn't feel right. Sunshine is the most underrated game of all time! |

| Alright, here we go. First of all, "Snarky" did not think the game was worth seven pounds. - Snarky wrote:
- Poor controls, poor interface, poor fov, weak story, bad acting and graphics that looked old in YEAR. Oh, did I mention the annoying cutscenes? Take two steps. Cutscene. Take two more steps. Cutscene. Jesus! I bought "GAME COLLECTION" for 7$... no wonder it was so cheap. Garbage, pure garbage. If you like watching paint dry you'll love GAME. Zero points for this overrated turd of a game.
"StephenY" didn't even need to play the game to know the score and the truth. This guy gets it. This guy's ethical. - StephenY wrote:
- Normally I would never consider rating a game before it comes out but in the case of GAME for the PLATFORM I already know everything I need to know about this game to come to the conclusion that no one should purchase it. This is a real shame because my reasons for this are not because I think the game will not be fun, but because DEVELOPER/PUBLISHER has chosen to encumbered this game with â??Digital Rights Managementâ?
Random racism? Random racism. - escograu wrote:
- AI of your teamates and fight is really awful, REALLY AWFUL. Story probably was written in 1-2 nights, cuz is completely not interesting and short like a chinese dick. Story seems like from some old, sci-fi book which costs 1$ and nobody knows that it is even exists.
Last but not least, "AnonymousMC" delivers a fairly sensible review... with an inexplicable score of zero. - AnonymousMC wrote:
- There's nothing special about the story and I can name at least 100 games with better storyline than this crap. The shooting is extremely boring and requires no skill at all, because the creators tried to make it look more like an RPG, but I can hardly classify this game as an RPG, it's more like a third person shooter with customatisation of the character. Another extremely overrated and overhyped game.
BONUS ROUND! - Reviews that randomly assert unethical press practices:
- JohnM wrote:
- The most unstable game I've ever had the misfortune of installing. It really destroys all confidence in the reviews that the 'professionals' have posted concerning this game (and any other game for that matter). How they can hand out 9/10 and 10/10 reviews for this pile of steaming turd is beyond me. I think it demonstrates quite clearly how the 'review' industry really operates. Don't waste your money on this half-finished, bug ridden rubbish.
J.N feels the need to tell us what computer he has in excruciating detail! - J.N wrote:
- Not sure what systems the professional reviewers used, or were they possibly supplied by DEVELOPER? Why do I ask? Because the game is HIGHLY UNSTABLE, with problems ranging from FPS Crawl, GPF's, Crashes, OS REBOOTS, unexpected termination of other background tasks, and even in one instance I saw a potential case of OS Filesystem corruption (likely due to another unexpected reboot). It would be good advice to wait at least 3-6 months until they and/or Nvidia (or ATI, as they're having problems too) get out enough patches & fixes to get the game stable. As it stands, I gave it a rating of 0 (zero) as I can't even get into the game itself to sample the gameplay. ASUS P5N32-SLI w/Intel C2D E6600 @ 2.4GHZ, 2GB Corsair RAM, Creative Labs Xtreme Gamer audio, 2xNvidia 7950 GX2 (Quad SLI), Windows XP Professional SP2. Naturally the sound and display drivers are the newest available.
