Gotham Knights gets a 5 from ign.
I read reviews for information rather than an influence on my opinion, but if a game can't even get a 6 from sweet old grandmother of review sites, thats probably not a good sign. |

The scores are going to be middling based on the 30fps if nothing else and it seems like theres a lot else

Im perfectly content with 30 frames stable. I care more about the pretty than needing a million fps like whiny people who only play first person shooters.

Lotsa Roblox games are first person.
Beyond excited for my son to get his new Xbox. he plays his One X so hard it overheats quite often. Never, not a single instance, ever had that problem with any of my consoles. Definitely on it's last legs. Have him using his PCMR cooling pad under it for his Destiny 2 sessions. He finished up his season pass yesterday and was pretty stoked about it. |

In fairness, the graphical advancements between generations is nowhere what it used to be. The big difference between this generation and the last one is in performance.
So when people pay $500 for a new console and a game doesn't offer those performance upgrades, its understandable that it would get called out for it. Especially in a 3rd person action game, where that bump in framerate makes a difference. |

Case-in-point - FO76.
The load times from One to Series X is...... incredible. The world loads < 10 seconds. Interiors are nearly instant. |

Callisto Protocol cancelled in Japan. Apparently the game is just too gory for the Japanese rating board and they won't pass it unless the game is changed.
But you know, tentacled monsters sexually assaulting little girls, sorry I mean 3,000 year old fairies who look like little girls, is just perfectly fine. This game is must play for me now. If Japan bans it its gotta be wild. |

Well JPN can just use the US digital store like we do for JPN exclusives so its weirdly moot in 2022

The real issue is Elden Ring is esoteric. Ragnarok is much more digestible. Even if its worse its easier for it to review more favorably. Edlen is fighting up hill if its half as good as its reviewing. Especially with recentcy bias on its side

Honestly Elden Ring would be an easy winner if....if they presented a story in the way 99% of games do. The lack of a narrative driving the game and the lore being almost entirely hidden in item descriptions and a handful of conversations hurts its chances a lot. The fact that you can play through the game entirely and get no story/context unless you do that extra digging is kinda whack.

Thars def what i was driving at with the "esoteric" comment. I, for the record, dont criticize them for the choice. The lore is there if you want to dig for it and many people really get off on doing that leg work. That said it holds the game back from being anything more than a game.
Narrative has the ability to transcend the human condition and effect the way you view yourself and the world. It allows games like GOW 2018 and TLoU to be something more than simply fun toys and push into becoming very serious art. So when we talk critical acclaim GOW has a distinct advantage because it exists in a dimension the souls genre doesnt have any ambition to compete in. (To be clear i have nothing against games being games. My game of the year is triangle strategy with xbc3 in a distant 2nd and id be stunned if thats going to be topped.) |

Yeah, I've always appreciated a great narrative and the last god of war was one of my favorite games ever, partly for that reason. But at the end of the day, I believe great gameplay, and innovations in that area should be treated with higher regard.
A game with a bad narrative but great gameplay can be enormously successful. But if the gameplay doesn't cut it? Doesn't matter how good the story is. |

Speaking of which, everything we've seen from Forspoken's narrative looks boring and generic, but holy french fried titty fuck does the gameplay look fun.
