Yeah PC got a lot of bad ports this year. Imagine paying all that money for a gaming machine and getting this stuff.
As the article points out, Lies of P is one of the greatest examples of a demo success story in recent memory.
I was always interested in the game, but a little sceptical. However, simply by the fact that the developers were releasing a demo several months prior to release made me sit up. It showed confidence in their product, and that confidence was - as it turned out - well placed. In my 2 hours of playing through the demo (just one playthrough, with a lot of time exploring and testing out weapons etc), I was convinced it was going to be worthwhile. And not only that, but the developers used the demo to improve on their product. The result was a win for both developer and consumer.
In other news, if anybody is still on the Fence about playing Lies of P, it will not surprise you that I highly recommend it.
That lies of p demo was dope. Imma dl it to try more next time I turn the Xbox on. If I like it I'll cop a ps5 physical since I prefer physical. I'll support the company that still releases a good amount of physical games, Sony and ninty
If anything it proves the need for more honest media previews, and some common bloody sense. So many games get these developer interview style previews with devs just blatantly lying, knowing their game is incomplete and broken. And if the game looks like utter trash and you buy it then you're an idiot. Idk how anyone could've gotten excited for Golem after the first reveal.
Not sure why cod is pictured. As if the that base would stand up for itself. NO, we won't pay 70 dollars for some dlc fk that.
XBA says: Not quite the precious game we were hoping for to rule them all.
Ppl are still reviewing this garbage?
You reviewed a game that was already well known to be trash, and yet gave it a score that everyone knew it would be. Day late dollar short buddy!
Given how buggy it was at launch, I don't see the issue with evaluating after its major patches have released. Also, can we just drop this notion of being late to the party? You see a game, you play the game, and you review the game. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
