Won't diss the rest of the game, I personally never felt comfortable with clicking to move a single character. RTS I excuse since you need to maneuver whole armies but whether its arpg, moba or otherwise it never felt good. Just tolerable at best.

I was appalled by it. Did the devs actually look at this and think, "yes, this is what players will want to go through for several hours. This certaintly isn't tedious or clunky whatsoever. no sirree."
>>
>>342793795
The gameplay is pretty weak (especially compared to bastion) and the story goes nowhere fast. I don't think I actually managed to finish it before dropping it out of boredom, and it's not a long game.

All of the bioshock games automatically gain 15-20 critic points because they make unintelligent reviewers feel smart and important with their extremely dumbed down political "commentary" and stock scifi twists.

If you're expecting reviewers and casuals from the last decade to rate something on gameplay foremost you must a fucking time traveller from the past and if so, I great you to this strange and terrible future sir and urge you not to make the same mistakes.

But anon, everybody hates halo 4

Non halo fans hate it because it's a halo game
Halo fans hate it because it's not ENOUGH of a halo game for the MP and the story is trash

if anything i'd say it's underrated since while not as good as the other halo games, it's still okay, and not pure shit like everybody else says.

>>342795152
Same thing here, i've litterally never seen anybody talk about it in a postifve light

Until people can host custom servers, there's absolutely no reason to play this over tf2. It's not like that stops me from doing it anyway though.

Nice attempt at oversimplifying the game, but traveling from one colossus to another doesn't even take up that much time. There's no reason to find it "boring" unless you're a faggot with a short attention span.

Theres also only 16 of them. The game is literally go kill sixteen bosses with nothing in between, how is that not boring?

I think I beat the flying colossus and then just quit.

Eh, gameplay might be better than bastion, imo. Bastion was just mash attack and didn't really require much thought outside the challenges. Transistor did, but because the game is so on rails all the tactical options kinda feel left behind. The story's problem is that they expected you to care about the world and characters with no effort made to make you care. You're just supposed to, because that's what they were fishing for, so you should care, because. I felt no sense of loss for anyone or anything. A few "drunken" Iwuvuuusomaahch and backstory text boxes in a menu doesn't cut it. Also, art deco style wasn't as enjoyable as Bastion's art, though I really enjoyed the gold leaf at the end, shame they saved it till then. Bastion music was better too, imo, since the musical pieces felt more diverse, though I guess if you prefer vocals then you might prefer transistor.

Clicking to move wasn't the issue here, it was the clicking to attack that cost several mice their life.

My dad used to have a couple of spare mice ready when playing Diablo so that he could quickly switch if the current one died on him.

Each and every one of these.
All designed by retards, for retards, on game design standards from 15 years ago. Played by edgelords almost universally. The games themselves are 2/10 on gameplay and 6/10 on story.

I tried really hard to like this game. The game exudes style, but the gameplay is so fucking horrible that I stopped after beating Destroyman. I've heard the sequel has better gameplay, but my autism won't let me play that one before beating the first game.

The boss fights aren't boring though, and it's the only objective it needed. Adding anything else for the sake of appealing to retards like you would have made it worse.

This one is usually hailed as some sort of hidden gem, but it's really just okay. Not bad, just a slightly above average rpg pumped up because it was late in the Wii's life.

>>342791748
True, there's not enough in the game.

>>342792731
This game was mostly art and atmosphere, but gameplay and soundtrack were great when they were there. If it's overrated it's only slightly so IMO.

Is this game worth getting for $5 on Steam, or is it a waste of time? Is it at least fun?
