Thanks for helping me to die a little more inside.
Theory: shit sites trying to up their game because of #gamergate and wanting to look like the good guys.I'm not trying to defend this piece of shit but all these harsh reviews are total bullshit. Those are the very same sites and magazines that threw 9/10s, 10/10s and 11/10s at every single "cinematic experience" of the last generation, a trend that was as bad or even worse than the FMV craze of the 90s. They create a monster that completely ruined the action genre for an entire gen and now they blame this one for small length and few gameplay bits.
What a sad scapegoat this game is, I almost feel bad for the devs because if this was a Naughty Dog game it'd have tons of reviews saying this is the first killer app of the newershit.
I don't believe there's a media worse than game journalism anywhere in the world and in any field of any sort.
A developer weighs in:
He’s exploring both viewpoints.
Its almost like he is fleshing out both arguments for the readers and trying to understand peoples points of views better.
I know its hard to accept that someone does not exist in a binary state of "I believe this and its true and thats it". I am really impressed with his ability to rise beyond the standard internet opinion.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve been a fan of Mr. Kuchera for a while now. Being able to change an opinion or even have a different opinion on the same subject based on other factors is not a bad thing at all. And some would say is also a sign of wisdom. In this case, long and short games are both good, and there is nothing wrong with favoring one over the other based on different factors.
Kuchera does it again

After Bioshock:Infinite strategy guide nothing will surprise me.
Too much ego. Too afraid of looking like fools. No self-awareness or reflection. And I guess for people who've never been fooled by a shitty game before, they have to see it for themselves.Most people could see this game was bad from a mile away based on all the footage and interviews since its announcement. I just don't understand the level of fanboyism people go to defend an obviously shitty game.
But there is more. Someone will pay money for this because they actually encounter difficulties in pressing the buttons that flash on the screen and need to be explained how to do it properly.[guide for retards]
THERE IS SOMEONE WHO WILL PAY MONEY FOR THIS

I actually haven't seen that one. Care to enlighten me?
Tomb Raider actually was about 20 hours long and most of that was non QTE gameplay.Watched a bit of Liriks stream, it does look sexy. Shame that the gameplay is retarded even more than the Tomb Raider that was the hallmark of AAA cinematic experiences so far. Press buttons shown on screen and look at cool shit happen. Much gameplay and much skill involved. Noobz not allowed.
On rails sections were all QTE, iirc. And there's a bunch of em. And puzzles were way easy. Still, a decent "experience".Tomb Raider actually was about 20 hours long and most of that was non QTE gameplay.Watched a bit of Liriks stream, it does look sexy.

I guess you are better than me, because it took me 22 hours to finish and the way I remember it, after the initial "cinematic survival flee for your life" bits, it was more free roam than on the rails and the QTE frequency lessened a bit.On rails sections were all QTE, iirc.

And its nowhere close to 20 hours. I think this is 80% done.
