Raven's Cry Review - Duuro Magazine

Duuro says: Raven's Cry is a mess. Both technically, and in terms of design. There's a competent game here, but it would require a lot more development to uncover.

Geobros3373d ago

1/10? That game has to be really bad....

DarkOcelet3373d ago

Its not about being so bad, its just the technical issues are unbelievably huge. I personally would give it a 4/10. 6.5/10 if it actually worked properly.

MadLad3373d ago (Edited 3373d ago )

Told you I had a review in the works.

@DarkOcelot

Agreed. Even in the review I say there's a potential for a solid game. I had fun here and there. But the game is, for all intents and purposes, of alpha quality. There's obvious sections where content is just missing, and even then they cut more out and offered it as pre-order bonuses.
That's why I gave it the score I did. It already had some design issues. With all of the technical issues piled on, the product, I feel, is not fit for purpose.

DarkOcelet3373d ago

@SlapHappyJesus

I had one too but i dropped it for now because i felt it would not be the best idea to review the game when i didnt reach the end of it, i felt i was close but the 5 minute crash every time and horrendous framerate even at super low settings with everything disabled made was atrocious. But i was really interested in the world and felt like if it was really polished enough and had better graphics, it could have been a good game.

MadLad3373d ago

Hey, the game launched.
That was worth my giving it a point . . . I think.

Intranquill3372d ago

I find it funny how most "reviewers" these days bash the games that aren't popular or hyped, but give the ones that are,almost perfect scores. Missing content? Glitches? 1/10, but wait it's made by Bungie so 9/10. Missing content? Glitches? Some European devs who made other semi successful RPGs so better give it a terrible score.

I haven't played Destiny nor have I played Ravens Cry. But reviewers really need to stop justifying some of these issues on one game, then bashing it on the next when the issues are the same.

Pozzle3367d ago

I dunno, Raven's Cry getting a 1/10 seems justified. The bugs and technical issues are so prevalent that some sites have said you can't even finish the game because it crashes before you can finish the story. D:

Top Ten Sh*ttiest Games Of 2015

So it’s that time of the year again. The time to condense a year of bubbling sh*tclusters into a digestible list of ten thoroughbred sh*thorses.

Disappointed to see Arkham Knight on here. It doesn't belong on a list like this.

It's easily one of the best games of the year and tied for me with the Witcher. The series as a whole is one of the best in gaming and arkham knight brilliantly capped off a brilliant trilogy.

DarkOcelet3044d ago

Arkham Knight was one of the most disappointing games of the year.

All the boss fights are replaced for crap tank battle. Come On, they could have done better and lets not talk about the $hitty 50$ season pass.

FlipSwitch3044d ago (Edited 3044d ago )

I don't agree overall. The tank battles were a bit too much but it was a huge game and driving the batmobile never got old.

I think I must have completed it 6 times. Couldn't get enough of it. The whole thing had quality running through it

Kribwalker3044d ago

I agree dark ocelot, still haven't finished it once yet and I loved the first 2, didn't play origins as it came out right when the new consoles came out

Aeery3044d ago (Edited 3044d ago )

@DarkOcelet:
Come on ...

Ps Happy new year!

DarkOcelet3044d ago

@Aeery

Happy New Year :)

And Happy New Year to everyone at N4G, may you have a great year :)

OhMyGandhi3044d ago

@DarkOcelet

Agreed. one hundred percent.
I bought the game and witnessed first hand the terribly port on PC, and once I got it up and running with a newer graphics card, it ran okay, for the most part.
But then I was left with the actual "gameplay" to become annoyed with.

No boss battles, a batmobile that controlled Tomb Raider on PS1, and tank battles that became instantly irritating and repetitive the 5th time you've played them.

beyond the batmobile, and those aforementioned battles, what else is there is to say? the campaign was instantly forgettable, and with the side missions were terrible, with one or two exceptions.
Riddler Trophies proved to be overwhelming in quantity, and the effort in getting each and every one amounted to nothing but busywork.

The game certainly doesn't deserve to be on the "top ten shi**est games" list. But one that describes one of the most disappointing sequels in recent memory. It did nothing for the franchise, and only made things work with the use of the batmobile.

And don't even get me started on the DLC, and the 30 minutes of play you get from each "episode"...

Happy New Year to all!

Did you watch the video? He's referring to the PC version which absolutely deserves to be on this list.

Takwin3044d ago

The parts of the game that didn't use the Batmobile were very good and a solid 9/10. The parts that used the Batmobile were abominable and ruined the game *to me* and that part was maybe a 2/10.

The game was also a complete TRAVESTY AT LAUNCH ON PC, which has to be taken into consideration.

IMO, the game on PS4 was a 6/10 because of how awful the Batmobile was, but taking into consideration the PC, it is more like a 4 or 5.

Antifan3044d ago

The fact that you HAD to unlock and solve all those stupid Riddler puzzles just to see the true ending is what made AK one of the worst of 2015 for me. 150 freaking puzzles, plus $50 for cosmetic DLC packs and tedious challenges. Forgot that, brought it back to gamestop, and got half my money back.

Order 1886. Good play through. Good story great graphics. Average or below everywhere else

Dr_Angus3044d ago (Edited 3044d ago )

I enjoyed having the most diluted boss battles in Arkham Knight
/s
pc version belongs on this list but the game itself is pretty bland.
and where is that screenshot in the actual game along with some other stuff they showed and told us about???
