Why is this allowed?

youre retarded

this was posted a few days ago
the guy also called mass effect andromeda a 10/10 masterpiece

please learn that almost every 'professional' critic gets paid for their review already

big fat ass maybe

braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapt

Complex motives

I wish mods would ban you worthless cunts already.

Is it that bad?

That shitty fart meme? Yes, because it's being spammed on every other board.

Who cares?
'Professionals' are either paid off or lazy unprofessional asses like the one you posted.
User reviews are battleground for platform warriors.

Professional scores or user scores it's all just shitposting fuel.

Fucking Chads.

Anyone dumb enough to give 'professional' reviewers any credibility deserves to have shitty opinions.

BRAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Fucking Chad

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Problematic glasses
>Bald

its fairly common for reviewers only to play a bit of the game before reviewing it in order to get the scores out asap.

its allowed for the same reason every shitty aspect about the vidya industry is allowed. because gamers are idiots.

Wasn't he the one who was also pissed at Automata because it took him away from Zelda?

He got tore apart on twitter and had a big baby meltdown and blocked everyone, as is standard when someone contradicts you on twitter.

I want to bask in virgin rage.

Yeah, but this was on another level.
>claims to have spent 25 hours and beat ending A
>clearly didn't even get halfway into A, which also discredits his claim of 25 hours
>complains about an unfinished story when he didn't finish the story
And the icing on the cake
>said the devs had shit attention spans when he literally couldn't be fucked to finish the game

You couldn't make this shit up.

He didn't just block everyone who disagreed with him, he blocked everyone who liked a tweet that disagreed with him.

>You have to 100% a game before you can know whether or not it's good
Yeah, no.

That's a reviewer's job.

no its not. welcome to journalism. also is right even though the game is at least a 7.

You have to finish the story to talk about the story, especially if you're going to call it unfinished.

>missing the point by 10 miles
Guy complains in his review that game asks interesting questions but provides no answers while only playing 1/3 of the game and skipping the rest.
The stuff he lists is answered in game, he just didn't bother to get there.

This review will be redone, I guarantee it.

It's like reading 3 chapters of a book and then saying the story ended really suddenly with loose ends. You're a fucking retard.

You could start by finishing the story first

>chad
wait that's actually a real name?
what the fuck does it mean

I agree in terms of music, gameplay, animations, etc.

But you absolutely have to 100% the story before complaining about the story.

>SE PR team literally leaves a giant message to you after finishing route A telling you the game isn't over yet and that you should continue playing.

Yeah, he didn't finish it.

*toot*

Yea man any review that didn't find all 900 Korok Seeds in BotW is clearly without merit.

did he mean to say ass?

tarofags blown the fuck out

ahahahhahahhahahahahahahhahaha

nier flopping as usual

He said he know you have to do multiple endings but he didn't feel like it.

>comparing busywork collectible shit to 60+% of the story he missed

he's a nu male though

How the fuck are these scores real? Why are game reviewers all nu-males? This is why you get developers like Playtonic pandering to these left-wing faggots to try and get a good score. This industry is dead.

I haven't played Nier games. Is this about the need to replay the same shit 3 times in a row to see "the true ending"?

Eh, the game is a solid 7.

Route B is the same story but seen from a different perspective with some new sidequests, unlockable chests and cutscenes explaining things, C and D are all new.

>what the fuck you can't think a game is bad unless you finished it

>Lol you can't rate a game you played for 100 hours bad because that means you liked it!

You don't need to reply anything 3 times.
Not even twice.
Middle part of B route has few same main quests from perspective of different character with new gameplay mechanics and backstory / lore added.

Thats the case for 90% of reviewed game. Its part of the reason why, you know, reviews dont fucking matter.
its fun to meme about them but i doubt anyone with a brain is like "well shit this game i was looking forward to and enjoyed got a 5/10 by some meme site, i should stop having fun"

>what the fuck you can't think a game is bad unless you finished it
He could have focused strictly on graphics / gameplay / music and be done with it but he had to run his mouth about story he didn't bother to see even half off, complaining how unfinished it is.
Does that seem ok to you?

>100%
how about finishing the fucking main story?

Not to mention B has some vastly different combat mechanics right from moment 1.

>lol I didn't finish the book but it's really shitty how there's no proper ending

>Chad

So I have to do the same quests but with a different character? "Some new sidequests" don't justify spending 20 hours basically replaying the game.

I'm not defending the reviewer, I just think it's bad design. They should've made the new campaign shorter, including only the "new sidequests" and skipping the old stuff.

quests stay done, you don't have to repeat any of those you have done already, just main story.
Route C however continues forward, it's like sequel within the game

>lol the book needs to be read second time right after you finish it but with a dozen new pages included separately

You don't have to redo siedequests.
You keep your current level and gear.

It's some new sidequests and any you missed.

Then talk about how bullshit that is, but don't say that information is missing when it isn't.

shit comparison.
It like a chapter, story actually progresses

>caring what these idiots think
>giving them the time of day
>wasting the brain power even thinking about them
You're as bad as the idiots they pander to.

Ok which site is this? I want to know who to stay away from.

I still don't fucking understand how that works guess I'll have to wait for it to go on sale a year later and see for myself.

You have to do "just the main story"? Isn't it the largest chunk of the game? So you have to go visit same places, fight same fights, see same enemies, and the only difference is that your character has different moves? Sorry user, that sounds really tedious.

What?
Disregarding the extra pages, re-reading stories is a big part of literature, you notice things you otherwise wouldn't and knowing the story in full gives a new perspective to many scenes in a well written story.
I won't comment on replaying games since that is extremely hit-or-miss for me but I re-read books all the time

Route A - B2 view point
Route B - S9 view point
Route CDE - completely new shit with different character and finale

You see that would work if you actually at least got through the main story.
This is more like getting to chapter 1 then throwing the book away.

Trying to explain with minimum spoilers.
Route A and route B happen both in same timeframe.
Route B has own sidequests.
Sidequests from route A you finished, stay finished you don't reply any of them again.
B route sidequest focus on the new gameplay mechanic that is introduced.
2/3 of the route B is new content because the 2nd character you play acted separately from the 1st one you played in route A.
Some main missions, like 2 or 3 of them are same from 2nd character's viewpoint with added extra lore.

I re-read books I like all the time too, same goes with replaying games I enjoy, but not right after I finish them. Do you see the difference?

Again, the reviewer didn't even finish the story. He probably didn't get through route A.

Whatever. main grill dies, boy goes nuts, last boss is against developer credits and they live happily ever after

There.

A book is considered bad if it can't convince the reader to keep reading within the first chapter. The same thing applies to video games. There are literally millions of other video games out there. If your game can't convince someone to keep playing within the first few hours, then you may as well play another game.

I finished the tutorial. Does the game get better or is it more of the same?

>2b scolds 9s for injecting emotion into the conversation
>gets emotional when 9s is jacked up

Character development is already ruined for me.
Literally has GameCube graphics
Forced camera changes for no reason

So far, this game feels like ikaruga

>2/3 of the route B is new content
That's what I was asking. I'll try the game when I get the chance, thanks.
I'm not defending the reviewer, I was confused about the actual merits of multiple playthroughs here.

No, they really only have to play enough to get a decent sense of the game's strengths and weaknesses. I didn't have to play to the "ending" of No Man's Sky to know it was a steaming pile of shite, and reviewers would never get anything done if they had to spend 40+ hours on every single game before they're allowed to talk about it (and they'd still have pissed off fanboys screeching "Shill!" if they didn't give it a 10/10, regardless)

>Character development is already ruined for me.
Drop the game now it's more of the same.

Wasn't there some faggot who wrote a review and just said flat out said he didn't finish the game past the halfway mark but still critiqued it and decided his thoughts had an sort of validity. I think it was for The Last Guardian, but I can't remember.

>That's what I was asking. I'll try the game when I get the chance, thanks.
You're welcome.
All this '5 playthroughs' bullshit going around on Sup Forums is bad because anons can't be to bother to explain properly and it's not that easy to do without spoiling even if someone decides to.

Wow, it's almost as if 2B is trying to distance herself from 9S or something.

Didn't play the rest of the game I see.

2B is interesting because she tries to act the most like a soulless android, while simultaneously being the most human-like.

You're not paid to play and review the game you fucking retarded user. The 100 hours thing only applies if your job is not to review a game.

There's a difference between 100% and actually finishing the fucking game.

This is true, but it doesn't apply to the story.

There's really not much reason to, outside of "muh true ending," unless he enjoys it enough to do so. Games are supposed to be about fun, you know.

>Didn't play the rest
He didn't play it at all user, that's why he asks so much about how does that 'replying multiple times thing' works.

It's practically tradition for platinum games, right? Didn't godhand get a 4 from ign or something?

They make games. Not cinematic experiences. Not microtransaction vending machines. Not deathmatch mutual masturbation services. GAMES!

This has little to do with Platinum and much more to do with Yoko Taro's way of storytelling.
Lazy ass reviewer whining about unfinished story when he stopped not even half way through is just sad.

I feel the exact same way about Batman v Superman.

>Reviewers don't understand it
>Review it comparing it to the mindless CGI snoozefest that is Civil War
>Ends up on aggregator sites that give Armand White and Buzzfeeds (a genuine top critic) opinions the same weight

I have no fucking Idea OP. He's probably a retard that thinks the other endings are optional or have minor changes. Truly a puzzle, it's like if you were to just stop playing a game 20% and saying "I beat the game".

Why Nier Automata fanboys can't deal with the fact that not everybody will think that the game is the greatest thing on mankind story like you do?

The dude complained that the game brings up the aliens as a major antagonist but never mentions them again, despite the fact their fate is clearly shown halfway through the first route
If you're gonna complain that the story is unfinished then you should at least finish the story first

Wrong image, but it's all because of the jews anyway.

Mostly making a broader point after having deleted a 95% game and between attempts to beat the opening on hard

The problem isn't him disliking the game, it's him not finishing the story before having an opinion on it.

>reviewer fails literally the first puzzle
>drops game
>gives bad review
I don't know, why is it allowed?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

But there are novel series that have you go through the story a second time. As a different person in the timeline.

So yes, you would have to read the story a second time.

What to take from this: they-didn't-give-me-or-my-company-special-treatment-so-I-punish-them-with-a-low-score/10
Literally what reviews like this mean most of the time. Notice how it was later than the rest? Yeah, they probably didn't get their copy in time or at all so they're angry.

>moving the goalposts

inb4 >FOOD ANALOGY

>be reviewer
>order one meal
>eat one bite
>don't like it
>rate the restaurant 2 and a half stars without tasting anything else, let alone even finishing the meal you ordered

Or they just missed the deadline and shat the review out knowing any later would make it irrelevant and driving traffic is more valuable to their job anyhow.

It is ALWAYS late reviews that give low scores, there should be some way to combat this

A reviewer should at least beat the game, don't you think?

Maybe not 100% in terms of all optional shit, but you had better finish all of the game's main story before you can make any judgment

Except after the 2nd playthrough (with a different character I might add, and different sections) , the 3rd route is a completely different story
