I disagreed with the review completely.
1) Ripping off Event Horizon.
Yeah, the devs admitted it was one of their sources. It was the point of the game.
2) The cheap 5 cent attack of giving birth to little bastards
You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to shoot the pregnants legs off rather than blowing open the stomach.
3) Your comment about it being a combination of other games
I felt it was the result of taking lesser games and getting a better game in result.
And the devs admitted RE4 was one of their sources. All the other games you listed I actually gave up playing out of boredom.
4) Your comment about it not looking like a place worth living in before the disaster
The place did look significantly better before the disaster. Lights weren't always out like that in every section. The unlivable conditions are a result of the disaster. They even said it was odd how all the lights were out during the opening cinematic.
5) Your comment about we're not given enough backstory to care about Nicole
She was his ex wife actually. Plus there were other things like how you're told the Marker causes you to hallucinate about dead loved ones, right before every encounter with Nicole.
6) Arthur Clarke reference in the name, etc.
Yeah, it was intended.
7) Your comment on how there was no pause of monsters
There were tons of pauses. Tons of spots where they set you up to expect an attack and dont give you one
8) Monsters playing possum
That doesn't happen very often. I think it only happened three times for me. And I actually expected and planned for them the second playthrough.
9) Physics gun even though hands could do it
Arms don't reach very far. I used the gun to pull stuff from far away, especially in the zero g environments
In short, I was excited you choose this game. I found the game very likeable, the singular best EA game I've ever played and one of the best games this gen. I expected your review to be a lot more positive. But I found most of your complaints to be either invalid, or picking on the point of the game
