Excellent Game + Low Scores = WHY?
- Thread starter Ronmartin
- Start date
So if I dont like the game I dont rate it but if I do I instantly give it a 10? That makes sense. That is probably the reason why the game has that score, maybe some people didnt liked it and instead of giving an apropriate score they just went with one of the extremes, 0 or 10.Ronmartin said:
Personally I would give it a 7.5 or something like that
Opinions of games are subjective. You thinking this game is excellent is subjective. You're entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else, and you're just as "right" as all of them.
Now go back to your 6th grade vocab. and learn what "subjective" and "opinion" mean.

Don't even bother with the reviews on internet games sites, have you seen newgrounds? I can't believe armor games is much better.
If you need an example look no further than this:

after playing level 20 (the one where you play as goony) I give it a - 83, incidently the number of attempts that level took. Bad collision box, a cm too large on the top and sides, EXTREMELY poor control as goony, almost unplayable. Awful level design, lack of a check point after an extremely tedious section, death by invisible enemies. Want more? the game was hovering around a 7 or 8, but this level ruined the game with sloppy design
I love Slowbeef and Diabeetus. Their Retsufrash playlist is great. First thing that popped in my head when my friend showed me this game was, "wow, someone must REALLY be crushing on a girl he can't talk to."him over there said:
OT: I guess some people just don't like the same dumb flash games you do.
Shouldn't the trash can be the girl? I mean trash bags do "go into" the trash can.
Awful jokes aside, I personally don't find this game all that fun. I can appreciate the concept, but I feel it doesn't do well in terms of execution.
That's just me though, if you like the game that's fine. It's your opinion.

It could possibly have something to do with the fact that just as you are not a fan of ""super-serious-arty-groundbreaking-erection-provoking excellence", there are many people who are not a fan of the "stick-up-their-ass-irritatingly-pretentious-indie-nonconformist-for-the-sake-of-it-games" (such as myself).
If you ask me, one of the core aspects of any game are the mechanics. I have seen many games with absolutely wonderful ideas that simply were not able to pull it off successfully in terms of the controls and gameplay. Many Wii and Kinect games, for example, are ultimately hindered by their presence of motion controls in games that could really shine if they were used properly.
For this game in particular, the usage of looking left and right repeatedly simply isn't a good mechanic for ascending. It makes moving for long stretches in one direction a very difficult prospect, as well as making descending and moving upwards while staying to one side extremely difficult.
In order for a difficult game to be fun, the controls cannot be what causes most of the difficulty. The difficult games that you mentioned, Super Meat Boy and Dark Souls, had very tight and well put together control schemes. This meant that the player was being punished for their lack of skill, not for their inability to work with a broken system. Because of this, I have to say that this game fails right out of the gate.

Well the game doesn't even load for me so I'm guessing that isn't going to get them a 10/10, in fact I bet people would rate it down for that.
something like this. You should have seen the lost planet 2 reviews, a fantastic game that many people didn't even give a chance because of the reviews.endtherapture said:
In response to the OP's question, I'll say a couple of things:
1.) I believe it's fairly safe to gurantee that no two people will ever approach something with the same mindset/expectations. While you're obviously quite passionate about the game, many people will approach the game from a different perspective, hence the negative scores.
2.) You said yourself that you think the game is great, so, by all means just play it and enjoy, regardless of what others say.
I've just started playing it, and I can understand where you're likely coming from with your love for the game, however I could also understand why there is such as strong dislike for the game.
