GamePro: Vanquish Review

It does offer some interesting variations on a tried and true shooter formula, but GamePro can’t recommend this to anyone looking for a deep and compelling experience. If all you want is an adrenaline rush or to feel like a total badass for short, explosive bursts, however, then it’s something worth considering.

.
I've been watching Gamepro for quite some time, ever since in the 90s with their magazines.

Most of their review scores are suited with the overall game experience, in my opinion.

Still...

I thought they would give a great 4.5 / 5 score... : /

Still getting the game nonetheless.

Their main complaints are:

No co-op (or a multiplayer mode of any sorts) and silly story.

Those two are things I already expected to NOT be in Vanquish, and everything else (Gameplay, graphics, how badass it is.) is solid, so, yeah.

tacosRcool5313d ago

The demo wasn't that exciting or fun.

Short game with no multiplayer or co op makes it a hard sell for $60 and that's why some retailers overseas are cutting prices even before the game releases

zatrox5313d ago (Edited 5313d ago )

That is only this generation, and even then, there are still people that don't mind multiplayer or co-op, when a game offers you something more.

I mean, look at Sin and Punishment 2, as well as other Racing games out there, hell, look at Sonic 4 (Despite the flaws it has...) and you find that there are alot of people who like to go hunt down for scores and such.

Yes, it is a tough sell to some gamers, but others simply know what they're gonna get and will enjoy it because of that. Myself included.

Also, the Demo was actually pretty awesome if you liked it. For me, it was probably the most awesome 7 minutes I've spent on a Third Person Shooter, and I just replayed it for completion times over and over and over. Although that's just me, and that's why I am going to love Vanquish.

bubb13gum5313d ago

Sure its a great game. I'll pick it up when its cheaper and maybe some dlc was released for it. I'm only buying a game day one from now on if its AAA title or one of my franchise favs. Out of all the reviews I'm reading a 7 hour campaign is what seems to come up and that just doesn't justify a full game purchase for me. I hope you all enjoy it though, looks and plays great from what I seen of the demo.

Once the Redbox near me gets this, I will rent it since its short and I could beat it in a day

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

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.

FreeckyCake389d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX388d 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.

Friendlygamer389d ago

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

YourMommySpoils389d ago

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

Friendlygamer389d ago (Edited 389d 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 )

jznrpg389d 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_Suzumiya702d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad702d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg702d ago (Edited 702d 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

shinoff2183702d ago (Edited 702d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya701d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya701d ago (Edited 701d 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

cthulhucultist737d 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

Vengeance1138737d ago

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