>game is a 1/10 max
>somehow still gets 4/10
so this... is the AAA bonus...
Getting a 4/10 from IGN and their 7-10 scoring system is a feat in and of itself.
yep it's why you know it's good.
a work enraging critics, zoomers, and redditors this much is Art with a capital A
>If you want a game where you stealth kill your way through hordes of works with slick parkour and funky power ups, this aint the game for you. Try shadow of war. But if you want to be a pathetic little creature scampering around in all sorts of filth and muck, its great.
From my perspective, it actually condemns your game greatly. If not even the normiest of normalfags want your AAAslop, you know somethings gone wrong
>If not even the normiest of normalfags want your AAAslop, you know somethings gone wrong
Drakengard is one of the greatest games ever made. It is also completely unplayable for anyone who doesn't have a deep appreciation for video games as an art form.
and yet it got 23 more points on metacritic than this pile of shit
Drakengard is shit to play and the characters and development is nonsense. If i was told the writer was drunk (think it was yoko taro) while making it, I'd believe it
Yoko Taro has stated he often writes while drunk in interviews, if memory serves right.
That would explain it. I was about to blame him for kurayami dance hit then I remembered that was suda
>drunk
He is a fullblown headcase, he doesn't need alcohol
PCGamer gave it a 64%
How
pitiful

There have been hundreds of great games, books, films, albums etc that no-one was asking for because they didn't know that thing could exist yet. Consumer demand isn't the exclusive reason to produce something, and art is subjective.
My post had nothing to do with consumer demand.
No it's bad because it uses over 8GB on low with DLSS and extremely bad pixelization. And despite this looks worse than games that ran on 1gb vram
>>you will be a consumer to the very end
>he posts while defending literal slop he wants to consume
It is not slop it is a subversive work of art. In fact, it is a long tradition in the arts such as there are fiction centered around Barabbas in the Jesus story. Gollum's only mistake is believing the mainstream slop crowd would be open minded.
xD
advanced shitposting
>subversive work of art
That's the safe term for "garbage". Always has been.
This “challenge to the status quo” is a stealth game / life sim made by retards and it sucks.
I would honestly rather play a Yakuza style game as Faramir in Minas Tirith and Osgiliath.
This sounds like it would be fun
Prefer Boromir but yeah
Yes, it is. You barely see a game rated under that nowadays.
Poor cunts spent a lot of years working on this. Probably thought it may have been their big break after years of making cheap graphic adventure titles.
This game is nowhere near AAA
>a few points higher than the last
Gollumchads stay winning
They should just remaster the old games if they run out of ideas. Gollum is just a side character who's barely interesting
You guys are baffling. The concept of a stealth puzzle platformer where you play as Gollum is actually intriguing, and that's what the marketing was banking on. The game just sucks so completely in terms of execution that the core idea doesn't even matter. And that's not so surprising once you learn that the developer had only ever made graphic adventure games before this.
I'm going to be brutally honest. The reason eurojank is a thing is because that entire continent has a dearth of technical talent and somehow doesn't even realize it. There is simply no way American games investors would bankroll a AAA project from a developer known for 2d point-and-click adventure games. They'd know better. And what makes it worse is the European games industry is full of pretentious writers and artists who poopoo American sensibilities, but then faceplant when making their own game because they don't have anyone who understands software.
Except for Sweden, you guys are cool.
euro studios have more lax work cultures so they cant be run into the ground with crunch
the tradeoff is obvious.
>euro studios have more lax work cultures so they cant be run into the ground with crunch
the tradeoff is obvious
No, this isn't it because within Europe there's no correlation. As I mentioned, Sweden is an exception. Their game dev (and software dev generally) punches well above its weight class, and they have super generous labor rights. I think it probably has to do with English literacy because English is the language of tech. An English fluent country is probably circulating documentation, standards, and learning resources so they can benefit from American tech design innovation. A country that is less fluent is probably more insular and embraces a culture of figuring shit out on your own and hacking stuff together.
Ehh, Eurojank is much less of a thing these days than it used to be, but it is definitely disappointing to see their output when I know the potential is there somewhere.
The euro scene is improving and I should be rooting for them. But the Euro-RPG elitists piss me the fuck off because they parade around like their games are so complex when it's all superficial UI shit and the backend systems are rather shallow.
>or they could have just looked on their right and notice shadow of war then uppen that shit
Lmao they are not even close to being able to make a game like Shadow of Mordor. Tech is not just graphics. I'm not even all that interested in graphics, I'm more of a backend guy. And you can clearly tell the Gollum devs are way out of their depth when it comes to system design.
Seeing someone try to do something interesting and fail is always more appealing than a product that was designed to exclusively appeal to focus groups and competently made.
See it's this fucking attitude right here. I don't even play many Rockstar and Ubi games because I think the design is a little generic, but I can at least respect that they're very well engineered. And I do play and enjoy plenty of indies because I like stuff that attempts to be novel. But lots of Euro games like Gollum are very obviously trying to be big AAA titles. Why the fuck else would they continually try to push for the most realistic graphics possible despite how horrendously janky and unoptimized the results are? They just fall back on the excuse of being oh so auteur and charming when they fail.
You know what's a good Euro-RPG that's faithful to the subgenre while having an infinitely better grasp of design than its peers? Roadwarden. It knows it's a text-heavy page turner and leans into it. The browntone pixel art is *chefs kiss*. THAT is actually unique and auteur. Not these hacks who try and fail to make more ambitious games than they can manage and then cry about it.
>Why the fuck else would they continually try to push for the most realistic graphics possible despite how horrendously janky and unoptimized the results are?
because it's easier to make them photo realistic and add post processing and shaders these days.
it's your fucking attitude in that everything has to be perfect even though you reluctantly play shit you find generic. learn to have fun.
>it's your fucking attitude in that everything has to be perfect even though you reluctantly play shit you find generic. learn to have fun.
I just told you a game I liked that came out less than a year ago. I'm also really enjoying Tears of the Kingdom. And I don't need games to be perfect, I'm tolerating some annoying render bugs in Civ V right now. But I didn't struggle my way through a CS and Math degree so a bunch of fanfiction hacks could talk down to me about how deep and complex their game is when their process for designing rule sets is throwing as many random and shallow mechanics into the pot as possible and hoping something resembling intriguing gameplay emerges from the ooze. They lack an intuitive feel for what is and isn't a good model.
no one even heard of your niche game, and you and everyone else is playing the latest Zelda, it's par the course.
>that game is too niche
>that game is too popular
Maybe I have the capacity to form my own opinions instead of reflexively agreeing/disagreeing with everyone else?
>Tech is not just graphics
bro go pirate it, it's not "just" graphics, the ork characterization is what is important, they only need to fix a few unskippable shit here and there to make it a good AAA game, they already copied the best part of AC and arkham city.
I've seen how the companion system works (with hardcoded triggers). Yes, it is just graphics.
>ork companion on shadows of mordor series
lol
lmao even
>no combat
but muh stealth!!
Oh my god, I was talking about the Gollum devs. I was specifically mentioning that Shadow of Mordor's systems were something they WOULDN'T be able to implement. I wasn't throwing shade at Monolith.
>You guys are baffling. The concept of a stealth puzzle platformer where you play as Gollum is actually intriguing, and that's what the marketing was banking on
or they could have just looked on their right and notice shadow of war then uppen that shit.
nooo, they had to try retarded shit with the deliberately annoying character, fucking shit up.
the rest is true.
AAA games based on non gaming properties almost always bad because the rights are managed by people who have no idea how to handle gaming and then the development itself is ran by a think tank running everything off of data sets that have no actual meaning in real life, just look at harry potter it took 10+ years after franchise was relevant to get a half decent game that still suffers from the same problem a lot of AAA titles do
I don't think this has anything to do with euro devs but Daedalic in particular just not being a good studio. They haven't released a single good game in 15 years of existence and people shouldn't be surprised when this higher budget game from them completely falls flat as well. Other euro studios have no problems releasing good games.
You are fucking retarded
>The concept of a stealth puzzle platformer where you play as Gollum is actually intriguing
True but this game is so bad no one will admit that
>The concept of a stealth puzzle platformer where you play as Gollum is actually intriguing
the concept of playing as your mom's panties is also intriguing. It doesn't mean it's a good premise for a game.
>design a stealth game based around Gollum
>it starts off as a life sim set in prison
Who in the actual kek made these decisions
>absolute shit ton of potential for videogames of any kind in the LoTR/Hobbit universe
>Even stupid shit like a racing game has the potential to be good
>"dude what if you played as a little retard scrambling across the floor shouting nonsense while NPCs make fun of you"
Honest to fucking god, what were they thinking?
How many fucking more flops is it gonna take until these greedy assholes stop raping LOTR?
They could've made a game with these fucking chads
Hopefully their takeaway from this isn't:
This sold bad = LOTR games will sell bad
>Hopefully their takeaway from this isn't:
>This sold bad = LOTR games will sell bad
Hopefully it is. LoTR doesn't deserve any more shit games.
>The developers must be so ashamed and embarrassed
Unlikely. It's much more likely that there's a whole bunch of "I told you so" aimed at particular managers.
Ganker is actually going around defending this goyslop because ebin contrarianism. The game is genuine garbage and beats Jedi survivor for worst PC release of the year in performance.
User score will be 9/10
>saw a gameplay
>full of stutters and graphical issues
It's a Unreal game, isn't it
no anon it's based because it runs like shit
UE4, yes. The goyslop engine.
People only hate because it has a Mexican protagonist.
>3070 minimum
>over 8GB VRAM usage on low
>DLSS required
>pixelization everywhere
>Bad voice acting
>Framerate gets so stuttery that the game begins skipping frames and teleporting you around
>bad graphics
>One review on Steam said he had a 3080
>Got 2 FPS
Two frames per second.
This whole game feels like a money laundering scheme.
Congrats on Gollum for beating Jedi Survivor, RE4, Hogwarts Legacy and Last of us for worst optimized PC game of 2023
Let me guess, losers are mad about the existence of black people again
No, that's the /mtg/ thread crying about Black Aragorn
they can exist, just not in my virtual reality
>My
You don't own shit
how did this game review so low, literally what is wrong with it. from what I've seen it's a competent and decent game?
Ugly graphics
Buggy as shit
Shitty gameplay
Very competent. Very decent.
?t=91
>can't disable motion blur
Even the fucking japs figured this one out, there's no excuse.
>gets sick from motion blur
pussy gay
It's just ugly as fuck
I don't get sick from it, it just looks like shit.
>but it makes it more cinemati-
Exactly. Fuck you.
>nitpicking this hard
why are they doing this though, honestly
>game stutters so bad it teleports you
>"WHY ARE THEY NITPICKING?!"
he never even lowers the resolution, and he spends a lot of time in the menu instead of just playing and letting the game cache shaders
Ganker genuinely will defend anything for contrarianism good boy points.
like moron, it boggles my mind how entitled gamers are now. it makes no sense, I've never seen someone complain so much about a game and spend so much time in the settings.
why doesn't this retard lower the resolution
HEY RETARD TURN THE RES DOWN
>You need to play 720p on a 4060 ti for this game
And the stuttering seems to be related to the game itself and not the card since it seems to persist regardless of settings or card
he already turned it down to fucking 1080p. yeah dawg just play your 2023 video at 720p on PC because the optimization doesn't exist.
>he already turned it down to fucking 1080p.
the fuck is up with modern gamers
turn the resolution down further, you retards.
to spend so much time in the settings menu and to not toggle down such an important dial.
The problem is stuttering retard. He's getting 100+ FPS yet it stutters horribly. Turning down the resolution won't help.
then that makes mucking around in the settings the entire video even more of an egregious sin. he should just play the damn game. the shaders were caching and during sections where he died and reloaded they ran smoothly.
It's a fuckin benchmark video, retard. He's going to mess around with settings because it's a benchmark video, not a gameplay video.
that's fucking retarded.
and who ever linked it in this thread is retarded.
so you are the gays reviewing the game poorly.
>dicks around so much he lets the orcs get away and loses the mission
Black, play the game
I don't own a 4090 TI
>competent
bruh the game runs like straight ass
you play as the most despised character in the francise, what did they think would happen?
>Ganker midwit spergs yet again conflating like the idea of something different with assuming that the quality of the actual end product is excellent
shut the fuck up jesus fucking christ sometimes garbage is just garbage and not le epic misunderstood filtering masterpiece that only le epic kinoludo gentlesir chads can understand goddammit shut the fuck up you stupid cunts
At least we aren't in a point where they start making wojaks and shitting on better games.
The developers probably knew exactly what they were making and the state it was in, same with QA as well, management released this not them.
im curious to how the switch and ps4 ports work out. surely they can't be poorly optimized given the hardware
Gollum chads....?
>Gollum chads
No such thing.
The game is fucking great, a solid 7/10 gays.
Its a stealth fucking game, sorry it doesn't cater to you ADHD CoD kiddies.
post hours
>Thinks the gameplay is the issue and not the insane stuttering and graphical glitches
How can you even play this? Like it is genuinely unplayable.

>The game is fucking great, a solid 7/10 gays.
Does Gollum use facts and logic in the game?
he owns sauron with facts and logic
The Lord of the Sneeds- Chuckllum
Wait, it's out?
Germans don’t have emotions
cant wait to play it in a humble bundle monthly 6 months from now

This is true cancer
What the last time a big game got such a low score?
i wouldn't say it's big, it was made by eurojank devs...
You can beat this game under 9h and 5h of that is story lmao
Watched Vei playing it today. It's really hilariously bad.
