OPM: Amy Review

Young children and hi-tech gadgets are never a good combination, but this is ridiculous. No sooner has a fancy new tablet been thrust into the hands of titular eight-year-old Amy than a train crashes, a ticket inspector knocks you out, and the whole world turns into flesh-eating zombies. And you thought it was bad when they drew on the walls or punched you in the gentleman’s area at the supermarket.

Damn another failure. I was really hoping Amy would rejuvenate the survival horror genre *sigh*

New silent hill looks like what you want

Pozzle4494d ago

Same here. I was a bit cautious about some gameplay videos I'd seen, but I was expecting at least 7/10 type of scores. Not 4/10! D:

shammgod4494d ago

Yikes...two bad reviews. I am going to have to keep an eye on this but I was highly anticipating this. Bad for even $10?

lodossrage4494d ago

Some of you should really learn to try games from first hand experience rather than having an opinion and an arbitrary number tell you whether a game is good or not.

And before anyone ways "i can't waste my money blah blah blah", you can rent, you can play at a friend's house, etc. Regardless of how you do it, have an opinion of your own and stop being sheep.

Soldierone4494d ago

It's a digital game, and the ability to "try" games is slowly disapearing. Normally this is where Demo's come in, but even those are lacking.

Physical games have online passes, so we can't try those. And games like this we can no longer "share" with someone so the bite isn't as hard.

I agree entirely that people need to try games before jumping on these bandwagons of hate, but the developers are not making that easy.

lodossrage4494d ago

While most of what you said is true. Those are only recent excuses for what "gamers" have been doing for years.

Even without digital games and before online passes, how many times have we seen "oh I only trust so and so's review" or "I'll wait till (insert name here) gives it a score before I buy it.

Laxman4494d ago

Unless of course if you play your digital titles on the Xbox 360, as there is a trial version of every single XBLA game released.

Soldierone4494d ago

Yeah like I said I agree entirely with your overall comment.

i'm just saying I too am like that, I gotta try it before I say something is good or bad, but you gotta admit its getting hard to simply "try" things these days.

Soldierone4494d ago

Sucks. Game looked good and promising and I wanted it until all the BS about only PSN getting a price increase. Didn't see it on the store so I bought Crysis for 10 bucks instead.

DigitalRaptor4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Gotta say, poor Vector Cell. Firstly the pricing debate and now this.

It can't be THAT bad, and at $10 it's gotta be a pretty decent indie game. I dunno. I'll reserve judgement until I've played the demo.

turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.

LucasRuinedChildhood102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Haze is a bad game but Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty makes it seem like a captivating work of art. haha. Fuck that game

Shellshock 2: Blood Trails isn't on this list but it might be the worst game I've ever played. I got it as a present from my mam and when I saw the box, my life flashed before my eyes thinking of the Metacritic score: https://www.metacritic.com/...

I also received Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty as a present from another family member. Bless their hearts for trying but ... oh Lord. My uncle gave my Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time and MGS2 though. 😎

DarXyde102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Was it really that bad? I recall trying the demo and not liking it, but that's just me not liking FPS games.

People I know who played it and like FPS games mostly came to the conclusion that it has a lot of room for improvement, but it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

Don't know, my opinion on these games should be taken with a grain of salt.

mastershredder102d ago

Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).

What's kinda funny about this is, that I have a theory that all these electronics are what are causing autism. You think back to about a generation ago and autism wasn't that wide spread, or we just didn't diagnose it. I feel that since all electronics put out an emf field that it can have adverse affects on a developing brain. No data or anything for this, just a theory I have.

ravinash2472d ago

It's only been in the last generation or two where metal health has been a thing that can be documented.
A lot more studies are going into it so we're understanding it better.
In the old days, people would have lived their entire lives with things like autism and not even know it.
After all most people who have autism are on the extreme end of the spectrum, so it might not always be obvious.

meka26112472d ago

Yea that's a good point, we still have a very long way to go in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. It's just very hard to do that, but I totally agree with you.
