What went wrong?
what? when was it released?
>7/10 average
>not landing well
This is why you don't trust any "journalist review". 7/10 means it's well into average territory. That means (or should mean) they enjoyed what they played but weren't blown away by it.

You're literally retarded, congratulations.
"Not landing well with critics" is not the same as "not landing well". Many games and movies have been critical failures while still sparking an average rating with fanbases.
See: Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
>>340305752
Wasting ass like that for an fps game.
Truly a shame.
I didn't even know the game came out.
Lifeless city and boring missions.
All they had to do was keep the same gameplay/aesthetic formula and put everything into level development.
Guess what happened?
>>340305752

They fell for the open world meme

>>340305752

>>340308272
5 years ago we were.
>>340308571
well in this case the game itself is notably worse then the original
>>340308272
I wanted a new one, but a fucking sequel, not a reboot. Maybe a game where we play as Celeste or something seeking redemption. But nope.
>>340305752
>That flat ass
How can a woman that does parkour for a living have such a terrible butt?
>>340308772
Thank the white people who make video games.
Nothing, 72 is a very decent score. Why can a movie like Captain America CW score 75 and be universally applauded but 72 is classed as "just"?
>>340308772
You can still be toned and be slim. Not everybody wants to bulk.
>>340308071
Then if it's a mediocre game why buy it?
Video games are a competitive franchise. Why buy one 7/10 game when there's at least two 9/10 games that release along side it?
Don't tell me you buy and support bad games, do you anon? You're not cancer are you?
NO NO NO!!! This was suppose to be our moment. Why aren't journalism sides on our side?
The first one wasn't good and somehow EA performed a jedi mind trick and made everyone forget that.
Now the second one isn't very good and everyone seems surprised.
>>340308571
I played the fuck out of the original. Don't group up this fucking abomination with the original.
Everyone knows the original ME was a cult classic. There was no respectable way they were going to make it "accessible" to a larger audience without doing it disrespect.

>>340309483
Don't care. If we're going to talk scores like the shitposting OP implies, then it deserves to mention that it's not far from the original.
>>340305752
EA bought Dice that's what
>>340305752
Ripped the soul and creative spark out of the first game, and released it as a soul-less husk that understood nothing of what made the first game fun.
>>340305752
>>340305752
they're pandering to a demographic that is infinitesimal in comparison to it's main population.

Because film critics usually have some semblance of integrity while vidya "critics" give 9s out like candy.

I know nobody who knew

I would prefer a more level focused game. with more levels, more options to do acrobatic stuff, and diferent routes to reach the goal then boring open world 101 with RPG mechanics that aren't needed at all, to hide the bad progression and lame level design of the open world.
I curse skyrim and GTAV so much for this.
>>340310223
>>""""fans"""" at an uproar for the mediocre scores
Fans weren't under any delusion, ME was a cult hit not everyone could get into.
The real travesty here is that it's missing a lot of what made the original enjoyable and added features nobody wanted. Also pandering to a crowd that doesn't even play or understand what made the original likeable.
EA management basically made it their own personal onahole thinking it would print money, instead they created a bastard child of the original that not even the cult fans enjoy.
>>340307907

>>340310263

I love how the media is taking this "every game is entitled to great scores" stance so everyone immediately needs to justify why it DOESN'T have amazing scores. Maybe it's just average and forgettable, guys. Remember that? It wasn't always that we only had shit and GOTY material.
>>340309483
>original ME was a cult classic
A popular as fuck game that literally everyone played cannot be considered ''cult''.
Also, you need to be 18 to post here.
>>340309483
>Everyone knows the original ME was a cult classic.
Not really, it simply got acclaim for high production values for an RPG and fact it was a transitional game for TPS audience to delve into something other than Gears of War and Uncharted. Kinda like Bioshock and FPS crowd.
>>340308772
>Anita Sarkeesian involved with developement

>>340310831
so you think the only thing the female protagonist should do is run away because she is too weak to face men ? fucking sexist
>>340313101
Why are you just helping prove the point you're claiming is wrong to be right? Are you saying a game can't be a cult classic if it has high acclaim, high production values, and was a transitional game for the TPS audience?
I mean nothing you said actually helps your point at all, it's like you made a point then just started saying things with no relation to it.
>You can't run away from every encounter, you HAVE to fight
>The skill tree means you can't duck after a long jump straight away
>There were like 6 characters in the original including faith and that was all it needed, now there are like 20 for each shitty minigame
Mistakes were fucking made.
To make matters worse if it bombs, there will be 30 articles claiming that male gamers are to blame for it's under performance and they're the reason why no female characters exist, mark my words.
Two words:
Open
and
World
>>340313295
Because it's not a GENRE cult classic. It was simply a game that resonated with its audience at the time. These two are not the same thing.

There is when moving around is the core challenge of the game. Compare the original ME to, say, Just Cause 2 or something. Levels in ME are challenging to traverse, doubly so to traverse at speed. The JC2 map enables you to go wherever you want whenever you want with minimal difficulty. Same shit for GTA, most Spider-Man games since 2, inFamous, etc.
If you don't see the conflicting design philosophy, you... well, you probably work at DICE.
>>340305752
7/10 is an above average score.
The real problem with open worlds that there is literally nothing worthwhile to do. You pretty much do the exact same shit for every area and the rewards you get for you efforts is usually never worth the time.

7.0 is enough to warrent a purchase. The last game got meh reviews and then got praise as the years past. I like the switch to open world. I've wanted that since the original. I just wanted less combat but sadly you get stuck in combat instances where running away isn't an option like it should be.

>>340309483
>Don't group up this fucking abomination with the original.
Hahaha holy shit, it's post like these that make me laugh the most.
It's the same fucking game as ME, you colossal fucking retard. MEC is arguably better than ME simply because it has more content, since gameplay is a 1:1 copy.
You want story? Play the campaign
You want action? Do the fighting orientated side-quests.
You want to collect shit? Game has plenty of that
You want to focus on speed-running? Then do the Dash modes.
Autists like you put ME on a pedestal not even speed-runners who put over 200 hours into game would think of doing. ME was a fun experiment that has been milked of all its content, and MEC is a refreshing addition to the formula.
The reason the game is reviewing low is the same reason the first game reviewed low - people see it as something other than a racing game. MEC is about doing levels over and over again to get the fastest times, no different to ME. If you aren't willing to commit to that, of course it's 'shit'. But its the kind of game I love, and the beta was excellent, so I'm hyped for its release tomorrow.

If you mean the critics they all disliked the original game too. No one at Giant Bomb even completed the first game, for example.
>>340333230
EA isn't responsible for crafting a better you, anon.
Trust in yourself.
>>340332980
>the game was designed and balanced around staff ghosts
Makes no fucking sense, m8. If you can read the environment you don't need the guides, just like in the first game. I feel like the only people that say this are people that don't like turning it off and want to feel like they "should" keep it on.
The idea of open world games are not the problem, it's the lazy devs that think bigger=better. Most if not all open world games lack anything interesting to do in them. There's no real sense of exploration with arrow markers and mission markers everywhere. It feels as if they tried to take a linear game philosophy and shove it into an open world without any thought put into it.
I still think Morrowind is the king of what an "open world" game should feel like.
>>340333230
>Anita
Why do people keep saying this? The Anita shit was just a ruseman image to troll /v/, and apparently it worked really well.
>>340333661
>I still think Morrowind is the king of what an "open world" game should feel like.
I should also add Shenmue 1 to that list.
This game isn't even in any of the Redboxes around me. I was gonna rent it and beat it real quick just to upload a picture of Anita's name in the credits, but I can't even do that.
>>340333661
I think an open world ME could make sense because it gives them more room for time trials, and creating time trials is such a simple process they should be able to just pack the world full of them, and to me the time trials are what the game is all about. I haven't played this one yet but as long as the time trialing is good I'll probably enjoy it. The shit that looks bad to me about it is the stupid chip collectibles and having to unlock basic moves, but I feel like you're gonna have all the moves before you even start caring about time trials anyway.
>>340312729
do you even understand what that means?
>>340333398
>game "critics"
i meant the actual audience. most game critics have proven multiple times to be inept and incompetent about anything relating to video games

>>340311539
Is there a chance of Gearbox bringing Duke back after this shit?
>>340305752
I like ME, and wanted this to be good, but after getting the Beta and reaching the OW aspect I'd to stop. It's awful. So, for me, it was open world.
>>340334292

>game literally made only to appease a small group of people
Do people meming this hard even play video games anymore? Have you ever played video games? Go outside or something.
>>340334529
They should just sell Duke to id. Carmack won in the end.
>>340334529
Fuck no, the shitstains literally edited the original Duke 3D to have Duke saying Bazinga and remove "misogyny" and refuse to let any other versions exist
>>340305752
Didn't the previous game get roughly the same score? Well, they kind of fucked up the main premise of the game with the reboot anyway.
>>340306069
Largely agree here.
>>340306069
>EA
Who published the first game again?
>>340334638
Carmack doesn't work at Id anymore.
>>340317702
>especially when moving around is entire point of the game
Yeah, not quite. The point was getting to the destination quickly and efficiently, not just running around in the world for the fuck of it.
>>340334774
>edited the original Duke 3D to have Duke saying Bazinga and remove "misogyny"
What? fucking WHAT?
>>340335051
And how does an open world impede any of that?
>>340334619
its too hot outside.
>>340334774
I have hear this before, but do you have proof?
>>340335192
Level design built around an open world doesn't promote or encourage efficiency. It's practically the opposite.
50% of gamers who are women are too scared to buy it because the patriarchy has threatened them
>>340335474
Not at all. It all depends on how the world is designed.

It'll tell you how

>Enemy has health bars

>You have to unlock basic moveset like quick turn
>A fucking grappling hook
I already knew this will be dead on arrival but didn't realize they fuck up this bad
>>340335528
the other 50% are too scared to buy it because the SJWs have threatened them
>>340335608
>A fucking grappling hook
That sounds like a fun addition.
>>340334967
The first Mirror's Edge was a happy mistake on EA's part, same with Dead Space 1 during the period where the accidentally let some of the dev groups make actually good games.
As you can tell they've seen to right their mistakes.
>>340335608
You can turn all HUD off including the runner vision, just like in the first game.
The unlock shit sucks, but by the time you finish the game and start doing time trials you'll probably have them all anyway.
The combat eh, it's not like the combat in the first game was some masterpiece. This doesn't look great either but at the end of the day there's probably going to be just as many people who hated the combat in the original that like the new one and vice versa.

>>340307907
I don't think it'll die out but I do think Devs will start making smaller open worlds. Places that are more dense and make greater use of their set pieces.
It's probably the natural course. Shorten develoent costs, it'd be easier to work with overall. Something like the Witcher 3's expansion pack Blood and Wine.
Triple A games will probably be that size. (in land mass, not content)

The original forum post was deleted but it was confirmed by people on the Duke Nukem forum
>>340336401
So where do you get this version of the game?
>>340321620
>>340333097
Doesn't matter cause I got the sequel I desired and I'm enjoying it.
I'll be playing this for a long time just like I did with the first
>people who didn't play either game criticizing shit that was in the first game too while acting like they played them both
>>340305752
Have you ever passed the controller off to random people while playing mirrors edge?
People can't make the jumps in the tutorial half the time, they just sprint off the edge.
It's not a game made for everyone, not everyone can process the top 4 shoulder buttons for jumping at the same time they're playing, and won't take 10 minutes to learn it. That's my theory on why people think dark souls is hard also, even though everyone uses the face buttons fine.
>>340307707
Isnt it a sequel? As continuing the story of the first one?
>>340337204
No, it's a reboot.
>>340337204
It's a prequel, but they've also called it a reboot. It doesn't contradict anything from the first game but it sounds like in future games they might act like the first game doesn't exist.
>>340337120
but mirrors edge 2 is EASIER
>>340337380
So then why aren't you at the top of the leaderboards?
I don't mind. It just means the game will drop in price way faster than anticipated.
Also, I think they would have done way better if they ditched the open world and instead made you have multiple approaches to infiltrating or traversing a level. A bit like Deus Ex's philosophy in level design, in the sense that they created places and tasked you with infiltrating it or moving around it, and it's up to you to explore your options based on the skill set and tools available to you.
Downgrade.

Because It's boring
