"Right now on the internet theirs an unpesidented amount of hate and bickering and well im here to tell u what I think is the real problem. Join me for epsiode 2 of PGR: Pro Game Jernalism." -Travis McHardy, Pro Game Journalism
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
Chained Echoes is getting slammed, and its devs have no idea why - Calling on Metacritic to do more.
Who doesn't have anything bad to write in these blank reviews and would benefit from sympathy sales?
I still say they should just get rid of the user score. They are untrustworthy of both good and bad review and honestly user reviews arent even a review. Of course tie it with the psn/xb account would be better.
That is simply horrible! The game is one of the best games, if not the best game of last year. Play this! Forget the bugged and rigged system of review bombing, just buy it and support Matthias and his team. These guys are superb!! We need to fight this stuff as a community, because small indie devs are the ones who least deserve this type of mistreatment.
User reviews are screwed for obvious reason and so are “professional” reviews because of money that companies throw around in many ways.
I just buy games that I think I will enjoy. Some devs you know make good games. Some long lasting series I know I will enjoy. Mostly I know what a game I want to play looks like. On rare occasion I get it wrong but I just sell it on eBay but that’s rare these days.
By most accounts this is a good game. I haven’t played it yet waiting for my physical copy.
Put it this way, I love jrpgs, but usually I play for 10 hours and move on. I had 80 hours in chained echoes and 100 percented it. The story is great and the game is beautiful. If you have game pass play it right now! If not buy it!
This is weird. But I like it.
Hey Travis kind of looks familiar though...
The intentional level of terribad is ALMOST as bad as actual games journalism!
Yes. I agree with all of it. Games Journalism caters to the whims of public and what will garner hits, which unfortunately leaves little room for honesty and heart.
Metacritic is for mindless people.
If someone tried to validate a game potential with a metacritic score to me. He would get kicked punch and slapped all at the same time.
