I think its safe to say that they are done for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Like I said, it had all the warnings of turning out to be The Room of videogames. Edit: And nothing yet on PB, just the 1952 film w/ John Wayne Edited November 7, 2018 by Teh_Diplomat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It honestly looks too awful to even become a cult classic. But I've got a keen interest in trying this game, to get a first-hand look as just how shitty this game is. I mean I refuse to pay for it, but I doubt they expect many sales to begin with... But, here's what is bizarre: What a pitiable "The Good" - A deaf hero is a win for representation, even if the execution is wanting Really, so if someone made a really shitty game to give your an idea of what it would be like to be disabled (say: Wheelchair simulator) would they still applaud the effort?

DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I give the review 2/10. Nothing bothers me more when people use "simplistic" as a synonym for simple. Edited November 7, 2018 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,160 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Not bad. Only 3 points lower than State of Decay 2 and I heard that was pretty good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
