Okay, why is the press memeing this game today?

Okay, why is the press memeing this game today?

Never heard of it before now. Is this really a good game or is one of the devs fucking a journalist? Because to me, this just looks like another Super Meat Boy.

>this garbage gets a 10

It's IGN, and video game review sites are always in someone's pocket. Don't trust the scores for shit.

>literally who game/developer
>female protagonist
>probably has a strong womyn plot

My guess is the devs know all the right people so that's why it's getting 10's.

SJW shit
These devs made an anita character in their latest game

Remember, you can't spell stupid fucking idiots without ING

Just for a comparison.

IGN gave Super Meat Boy a 9 out of 10.

IGN gave Cave Story an 8.5 out of 10.

Something isn't adding up here. There's friends involved in the development of the game - I can feel it.

It's by the same developer who made TowerFall

Okay no seriously what the fuck. How could you possibly give this a 10? 2D platformer is a genre absolutely flooded with titles. Why would I want to EVER play this game instead of playing a game like mario 3 or Donkey Kong Country 2? I wouldn't even give those games a 10, this game should be like a 6.

Got a 10 on destructoid as well.

Indie games can be much better than AAA western and AA weebshit games. Just face it.

It's almost as if IGN isn't just one reviewer

I hate to mass reply, but did anyone here even play the game?

>posting the worst version

you must be new here

It just came out, didn't it?

This is such a dumb excuse every time.

The guy who reviewed Celeste doesn't live in a vacuum. He would know what it means by giving a game a perfect 10 score and would most likely be aware of scores given to similar titles.

It looks like any other indie game, what can this game bring that is so different from others?

I'll pirate and then check it out

Fuck you, you scum retard.

Stronk womyn

Probably just some SJW crap

Seeing you sperg out makes it all worth it. :)

>SJW shit
Pftt hahaha

Why would you link gameplay from someone who clearly can't play video games.

>see the video
>nothing surprising and really seems to play like Super Meat Boy or any of the I wanna be the guy games
>gets a 10
Weird

its meatboy with a female MC
11/10 game of the year!
but for real, gameplay is as solid as meatboy, nothing more, nothing less

The devs are close friends with staff at IGN.

I saw dunkey's video and it's just generic indie game. Even his excitement over this game feels fake as fuck.

>He would know what it means by giving a game a perfect 10 score
Yeah, he would know review scores are subjective, and if a game has no glaring flaws, a 10 score is justified.

It's SJW shit

Is it sjw shit? I haven't heard much about it.

this 2bh. where's the mega? we can't discuss the game if we can't play it

She platforms her way into an abortion clinic

Dev is probably in the indie clique. Game still looks alright, but nothing special.

Can someone please point me to the "SJW shit" in this game? I don't see it. youtube.com/watch?v=_bM0uEAis14

just bought it, wish me luck

Oh my god

I refuse to believe this game is way better than Bastion which IGN gave a 9.

Look at the dev's twitter.

>Platforming
And all interest gone like that. It's no longer 1875 jumping doesn't need to be the majority of gameplay anymore.

So, all scores should be taken in a vacuum? You're comfortable with a site that could give a 1 to Deus Ex and a 10 to Kinect Adventures because of the individual journalist's subjective tastes? This has always been bullshit even if complete objectivity is impossible - there is a standard these people are aware of.

He would know the devs are will now plaster this score in all of their marketing materials and will increase the aggregate score on Metacritic.

I played it for about an hour so far. I think it's pretty good actually. The controls are nice. The combination of climbing and dashing gives you a lot of platforming options.

It looks like your typical run-of-the-mill Cave Story inspired indie platformer. Must be another case of nepotism or a really shitty reviewer.

Are you arguing that a moderately enjoyable game that has no outstanding features, but no glaring flaws, is a 10/10?

So you're comfortable with people giving review scores that others tell them to put up; in other words, the current, broken system that's already in place.

Apparently the story is fantastic. Euro gamer loved it too.

>please point me to the "SJW shit" in this game?
>"Look at the dev's twitter."

Answer my fucking question. To answer yours, I want all of these sites to go broke and collapse.

>game

Because it has a mode made for game journos where you can't die

If you put a 10/10 on a fucking pedestal, all you're doing is rendering the scoring system meaningless. If a 10/10 is something that shouldn't be given freely, then what you're doing is creating a rating system that only goes up to 9/10. Famitsu gives perfect scores all the fucking time, and other sites that only go up to 5/5 also give them out freely. But for some fucking reason, if you're grading system is out of 10, then a 100% score is something mythical.

I have it, it it's really solid but not sure why a 10. I'd recommend it, it's a neat N like platformer with a more cohesive world, but it's nothing revolutionary.

>made by the dev who put anita sarkeesian in his game

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

sure, sure, i believe this review

I'm not surprised it's reviewing well. Did none of you play Towerfall? It's basically the Mario Bros arcade game but with a better moveset and archery. It's really challenging CO-OP and is like a really fine tuned NES or early arcade game. I really couldn't give one problem it has gameplay wise. It looks like this game is just more of that but a metroidvania or something. It's more likely it just fun.

Mario 3's jumping is floaty desu. It's forte is bite size stages with variety but often have gimmicks you only see once or twice in the game. Also, it was nice for people that like a certain world to be able to skip right to it in a few minutes.

Yes, a reviewer should be able to give out whatever score he sees fit, since that's literally the entire point of his fucking job.

>tfw this no effort piece of shit gets a FUCKING TEN (10) while actual games who took effort and time to make get 8s
IGN needs to be wiped from the face of the earth.

At this point Sup Forums has devolved to the point where any game with a female protagonist that isn't sexualized is automatically "SJW shit".
To the point where calling this out gets you called a SJW, instead of, y'know, someone who wants the circlejerk to end so we can actually talk about the game instead of some political bullshit that y'all are bringing in. For a board that is so against putting politics into games (read: politics that challenge my point of view) you guys sure love to force them into discussions of games.

So, yes?

There is a world of distance between "no glaring flaws 10/10" and "no game is 10/10"

>Celeste
Great band, never heard of the game though.

>not sure why a 10

you are witnessing viral marketing. it happened to hollow knight, it happened for a hat in time, and now it's happening again.

The dev has been making games since he was in his teens. Those in the know have been waiting for it to come out forever

t. soynyboy

Where can I find your patreon? I wanna donate to you for sticking it to those alt right white people.

That game's an actual 10 so I could see this being one too as a possibility.

The mindgames you play with your human opponents is what made that game so good though, which this obviously doesn't have.

Honestly diversity is a strength because it gets rid of those whites. Thankfully someone else on this sub understands this.

Good job devs, that character looks nothing like Anita and people will forget about her in 5 years.

that character is cute, unlike jew nose Anita

Hollow Knight is a good game though.

We live in the most peaceful time since before human existence, and yet it's all about politics. wtf

Blacked dot com

No major site gave A Hat in Time 10/10 even though that game was very imaginative and fun.

It looks like a pretty fun platformer but never ever trust IGN with reviews.

Not just that, it's from the guy who made Jumper, which was an early inspiration for games like Meat Boy and N.

Towerfall is great but I am getting tired of this "retro" game style
I'm sick of it honestly

> sonygers will never ever play celeste

>a game from the people who literally put anita fucking sarkeesian in their previous game
>durrr how could der be poloticks in dis new game?!

call a spade a spade. you fucking mongoloid

doesnt mean it wasnt shilled wildly
i remember when Sup Forums refused to play it because it was getting marketed heavily

Ask anyone who that is supposed to be without them knowing beforehand and i bet no-one will know.

>10/10 by IGN
>open thumbnail
>visuals that make a NES game seem like a masterpiece
>story in a platformer
Not surprised in the slightest.

Probably because she put Anita in one of her games as a character.
Which for me makes the games pirate only even if it were literally the best game I've ever played, regardless.

Literally another case of Dream Daddy syndrome. Literally who dev makes an unremarkable game but is friends with the right people so they got tons of free press and praise and clueless normies will eat that shit up.

Oh, so it's another Owlboy and Iconoclasts. Except it doesn't look good.

let me guess, SJW game? female reviewer?

Just heard about it from dunkeys video and it looks good. Might pick it up on the switch.

3-4 hours in, im very pleasantly surprised by the game. The platforming feels really fun and is rewarding. i thought this would be a meat boy clone, but its so much more interesting and has actual depth and story. Its also pretty challenging if you go for all the strawberries, B-sides, secrets. Theres no SJW shit in the actual game
its very comfy

It's out on every console

Because people were still riding the "collect-a-thon platformers are dead" train after Yooka-laylee. I bet you if A Hat in Time waited for a few months after Mario Odyssey to release people would call it part of the collect-a-thon platformer renaissance.

Soundtrack in this vid is so bad. It's like they never heard good C64 music

Yes. A gay conspiracy is upon us! Evil SJWs and their soy minions are attacking us with fake news of this """"""""""""indie"""""""""""" game! Those trannie fags are fucking every reviewer and youtuber on the planet!!!!111 DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES

So who's the secret lesbian?

Sorry it's not a boring ass walking simulator.

Literally every video I've seen about 3D platformers in 2017 lumped in Hat in Time with the platformer renaissance.

...

Game is a solid 8 like Super Meat Boy. Soundtrack is pretty good, solid platforming with nice, hard extra stages.
All the perfect scores exaggerate.

>sub
reddit is that way fag

finished the first 3 b side chapters and i am about to rip out that fucking pro controller d-pad

Real question: does that affect the quality of this game?
Real answer: no.
Sins of the forefathers do not transfer to their children.
