Alien Isolation and Dead Space 1 are great games, and some western games from the 90's/early 2000's are pretty good. Most modern western AAA games do look like hot garbage though.

Oh shit, you have a point. I'm also a big fan of the Arkham games myself.
But the vast majority of modern Western AAA games are fucking shit and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>315327798
On Alien Isolation, that's the only "stronk womyn" character that I think was actually well written and not just some hard hitting, hard drinking, perfect shot making caricature of feminist fantasies.
Do I want every other game to have a stronk womyn like the lineup of 2016 games? no.

Back to Reddit
>>315329078
I liked the concept of parkouring through a beautiful semi-futuristic city in Mirror's Edge but I found Faith and her story to be meh-tier.
I rolled my eyes at the sophomoric plot points of "evil rich white male must be destroyed because reasons" and didn't let it ruin my enjoyment of the game mechanics, but I don't think as a character Faith convinced me that she was actually strong. Agile and not afraid of heights? yes, but cunning and mentally strong? no.
>>315328309
She was written?
Could tell she was a fucking void half the time. Most 'stronk' thing is how fucking durable the bitch is, and just means she's durable not strong.

The second you call your game an "experience" I automatically assume you mean "walking simulator with pretentious story".
Similar things apply if the game calls itself art, interactive, indie, retro, pixels, moving, story based and/or immersive .
I can't work out what the gameplay is from screen shots then that's another red flag.
If the trailer shows little about what's actually in the game that's another red flag.

I was so happy I rented that game when I found out it wasn't nearly as good as the hype made it out to be.
Instead of my quiet stealthy non-lethal slow run, I went balls out insane Dio style. Stopping time, dumping two explosive shots on guards, then teleporting across the room to start ramming my sword into another as time restarts was great.

I don't mind conflict, but I file "violence" under tryhard games like God of War or Call of Duty, where they have to show blood splatter everywhere and gore and guts and all that trash.
Meanwhile, the money they spent on those effects could've been used to make the game run above 15 FPS (*cough*Bloodborne*Cough*)

A date before which you cannot publish a review
>>315342831
Forces reviewers to wait until after something releases before talking about it/reviewing it. In some cases publishers don't give out review copies before ship dates too. Happens with shitty movies too. That way you may pay for it before finding out it's garbage
No matter how fun or well made a game is, if it is free to play or an MMO it is far worse than it could be, and it becomes shit.
>>315342831
you're allowed to play the review copy, and write the review, but you cant post it for viewing until a certain time and date. because you know, can't have people reading about your game til they've bought it!
