Edge: Vanquish review

Vanquish is as lean as they come. From its first motion-blurred boost to the last thumping impact, it’s an adventure that rarely drops pace and doesn’t bother with sidestreets. The hero, Sam Gideon, is Nathan Drake in futuristic armour, a smartass full of quips and testosterone. But he’s not the star: that honour belongs to his pristine white suit.

GAME INFORMER YOU SON OF A BITCH!

-END STATEMENT

Christopher4949d ago

There was another guy who posted a screenshot showing he beat the game in a few minutes less than 4 hours. This might be a case of truly hardcore gamer who might have played the game multiple times versus your typical gamer.

At least this really makes you think about Jim Sterling's review of the game.

lightningsax4949d ago

Thanks, CG, but I'd rather not think about Jim Sterling's reviews at all!

Actually, this is a pretty nice review. I think it sums up what's awesome about it without gushing, while noting its shortcomings without raging.

Christopher4949d ago

Hehe, good point lightningsax :p

DigitalAnalog4949d ago

From what I've heard. The total game time does not tally up with all the deaths and checkpoints you've re-spawned. Going by that logic, Uncharted 2 would only be 5 hours long considering if you count the time straight without the deaths and the replayed checkpoints. I believe this was Shniji's design flaw by adding that Time total to the game. I would really REALLY liked to see GI total time through the PS3's memory manager because it does show the TOTAL time you've played the game.

-End statement

joydestroy4949d ago

i think if you've been looking forward to this game then you should get it regardless of the length. it plays really well.

Christopher4949d ago

Agreed. I unfortunately have made my usual October choices and Vanquish, though a game I have interest in, didn't make the cut. Will get it in a few months when I have time after finishing the games from this month.

Quickly becoming my favourite games Magazine. Not really because of reviews, but all the fluff they have surrounding the industry is great, and it makes my brain larger :3

AEtherbane4949d ago

Dont matter if they give a game a 1/10 or a 10/10. I dont trust anything they say.

thief4949d ago

This is probably the Vanquish 360 review. The PS3 version got a 5 for being repetitive, doesnt bring anything new or innovative and poor storyline.

mint royale4949d ago

Version tested: PS3

But hey, why let facts and actually bothering to read the information get in the way of a good anti edge rant.

Sheep.

perfectCarbonara4949d ago (Edited 4949d ago )

haha, lol.

Lighten up Mint Royale, Jeez...

artsaber4949d ago (Edited 4949d ago )

I believe the TRUE game finish time belongs to those who play a game normally. One that complete objectives, do some minor exploration looking for a few secrets, etc., and takes time to defeat the enemies of a stage instead of running past them. I am not interested on how FAST someone can run through a game. Speed runs =/= true/average game completion time.

Is 25:29 the completion time for the Legend of Zelda? Hell no, but it can be done.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake26d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX25d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer26d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils26d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg26d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.

Yui_Suzumiya339d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad339d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg339d ago (Edited 339d ago )

Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .

Love Steins Gate and Soma

shinoff2183339d ago (Edited 339d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya338d ago

I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.

Yui_Suzumiya338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist374d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot
