The Independent is a far-left rag and as such I wouldn't be surprised if their rating was decided from the moment they found out you play as cops.

>Yea Forums supporting IGN
Have we fallen this far?

Metacritic doesn’t allow reviews with a low score for big profile Nintendo exclusives.

There's an auto combat mode for journos but you can easily switch to normal pt which is standard Platinum games difficulty and completing missions will grant you access to extrreme pt difficulty

Exclusives make a consolewar (you)farmer's pp hard.

>talks about having to rely on auto attacks from the legion to do damage
so he basically didnt learn how to play the game because all the auto attack shit is fucking the most bare-basic way of doing damage
The majority of your attacks should be sync attacks, chain maneuvers or legion's special attacks

>DDoS attack
in other words, his site was flooded with traffic to read the review and he assumed it was an attack rather than just high traffic

Reminder that both IGN and Polygon gave Astral Chain a 9/10 score if that says anything about the demographic that would love this game

I think Iceborne and Death Stranding will bring Sony some attention again but it seems like Nintendo and Sony basically oscillate at this point

Basically taking rest years so they don't cannibalize each other's sales

>Paying any attention to UK news outlets for anything

They're all total shit, every single opinion on technology and games from any of these sites is fucking garbage, the BBC covered Zoe Quinn's Twitter spazzing in a positive light for fuck sake, I hate this country

Well Sony was really big in 2018 with GOW and Spiderman, and Nintendo was really big 2017 and this past year
So I'm guessing next year, Sony will come out with some big hitters like Tsushima and maybe TLOU2 if the PS5 comes out during the 2020 holiday season

No one said that it did. But if a left-leaning game was getting great reviews from everywhere except for Breitbart would you not find that a little bit suspicious even if the review never mentioned politics?

this is IGN god hand bad

Literal movie

Of course nobody is responding it because The Independent is literally to busy posting a new article EVERY FUCKING TWO TO FOUR MINUTES. Pure fucking quantity trash.

Lol fucking ign. I hate all e celebs but someone here linked a dunkey vid where he makes fun of ign giving every game a fucking 8/10 or higher and it's been that way since I was a kid. "It has a little bit of something for everyone" is the cop out for a game being shit apparently.

You must not have played the 'game'. It has even more QTEs than The Last of Us.

Except the fucking people he's fucking responding to, you have actual brain damage.

I'll take Bing bing wahoo over """cinematic""" and AAA trash

please do

I actually have an early copy.
It doesn't really have that many cinematics in combat, the most I can think of is that little MGR type thing where you rip the heart out of chimaera to refuel your legion

Platinum is doo Doo.

Pretty much, in England it's more the right who dislike the police because they see them as wasting too much time on social justice issues and ignoring real crime.

Though within that the left in London hate them for the perceived racism of stop and search.

I feel like unless it's exceptionally bad (i.e. The Order or Playstation All Stars) Yea Forums is pretty good about talking about it for a week and leaving it alone, it felt like Days Gone threads stopped immediately after the game came out because literally no one cared.

Why did you post a PC game? Not even a full game, DLC

How does it play though? Is it a bayonetta rip-off or yet another shitty clone of that basic as fuck korra game?

Because Yea Forums thinks it needs to hate everything in order to continue existing.
