Darvond: Why do people keep asking publicly for games with mixed reviews?
Shenmue 3 is probably the most overhyped and overbugeted 3/10 I've seen for a long time. Millions of dollars spent for a cliffhanger that plays like a 20 year old early 3D game. It's like an empty crane prize game. A ripoff normally now devoid of content.
And then there's Feral Blue. A game so early in development that all the reviews were talking about the matters of potential rather than actual potency. And in a world where too many games have infinite indev cycles, never managing to hit 1.00, how can we be sure this one is worth the time investment to completion? Sure, it's made by the Eador devs, but it seems like kind of a leap from their previous projects. (Especially when aside from Genesis, that series seems to be strikingly 5/10.)
Allow me to disagree with you about shenmue 3..I recently completed it and it was a great game with a lot of things to explore and a great story...Sure I will agree it is not for everyone but for people like me that have played the previous games and waited so many years it was great. Maybe shenmue 2 is better than 3 but that game hasn't aged well and the controls are kind of bad. Hopefully they will bring the game here and who knows maybe sega might give us the 2 first games here..
