Disco Elysium is the kind of game I will convince myself to buy and end up hating. I already know this, but the process is already in gear. The purchase is inevitable. As is the regret.

 

[stranno]

Only interested in that Sunless Skies making of

 

[sublimit]

Do we have an Edge issue 338 thread? I can't find one and i'm curious if they have reviewed Code Vein.

Why?

 

[Woo-Fu]

Wasn't in 338.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Why?

Because it's typically not my kind of game but I am easily swayed by great reviews from outlets, players and friends.

Don't try and stop me. It's futile.

There is a 338 thread.

Yeah i had even posted in that thread but i didn't remembered. Strange that they didn't review it though. I always find it more interesting to check a review after i have played and beat a game rather than before playing it.

I normally post 'ow the edge' in edge threads, but I lost enthusiasm.

 

[Windle Poons]

Not a shit post, an honest question...

Gone Home a game of the decade?

 

[Birdo]

As someone who has been reading Edge since 1994, they have always been a little "Edgy".

However, it looks much worse these days because they are the last review site to use the full 10/10 scale. Where a 5 means mediocre, and a 7 is pretty good.

 

[SweetShark]

Oh no, Indivisible got a 6. This translate as Ok for me, but still after so much effort from the Devs I thought a better score...

 

[SweetShark]

Not a shit post, an honest question...

I played the game and I really liked it back then.
You just need take your time and explore every single thing in the house and connect the "dots" of the family left behind.

 

[Danjin44]

Currently playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 and for me it deserves higher than 7 but I’m guessing Edge are more harsher than most reviewers.

Do you at least stop when you realize you don't like it or you continue playing until you end it?

 

[SweetShark]

Wtf, why Broken Age is on the list?

 

[-Arcadia-]

Checking out Edge’s classic reviews lately, has been... illuminating.

Also, they apparently gave Chrono Trigger a 7.

I genuinely think the entire history and identity of the mag is just to be game review edgelords.

Depends. If I REALLY hate it I'll stop. Otherwise I'll probably keep going.

I'll definitely quit this.

Disco Elysium will be collecting awards this season.

Don't think it's a list of the best games of the decade, it's a list of some of the most influential/defining games of the decade.

 

[SweetShark]

Ah, I see. Then I think I can see why Broken Age is in the list.
It is the game which literally made Kickstarter so popular after all.

 

[Stuart360]

It does say 'defining' games of the decade, not best. So you have like Dark Souls which brought about a whole new 'genre', same with Amnesia with the horror walking simulator style, Walking Dead wasnt the first of its kind but it was the first narrative style game to hit it big, etc. I would of had PUBG over Fortnite though, PUBG was the first to hit it huge, and Fortnite is free.

 

[Come On Tars]

This guy has exited the matrix and is looking down on himself. Incredible.

 

[FranXico]

So you have like Demon's Souls which brought about a whole new 'genre',

Fixed that for you.

 

[rubhen925]

How the f does bloodborne not make that 2010s list

 

[Stuart360]

Fixed that for you.

Yeah thats true, but i think Demons Souls didnt sell that well, while Dark Souls did. I'd guess that why they went with Dark Souls. Plus it doesnt mean simply the first, but the first to have some kind of effect, which Dark Souls certainly did, not so much with Demon's Souls. Except eventually leading up to Dark Souls i suppose.

 

[Insane Metal]

Breakpoint a 4

HOLY CRAP

I mean. Ow the edge!

But a 7 out of 10 in Edge means that it is a good game, so Doom and CT were judged as good games.

You're too much into the score. Just read what is write... in a magazine. I can't imagine reading that. How can someone buy a magazine just for read the score number?

Imagine me giving a game 10/10, but in my review I write 'people who play games are nazi and I want to fuck and push the president red button and release a nuke'. Maybe this obsession with score made people blind somehow.

 

[Bakkus]

Luigi's Mansion 3 - 7

So it's not as amazing as all the youtubers with review copies provided by Nintendo are telling me? Well, I never.

Haha, that bit about talking to the creatures is a bit stupid. It's like complaining about not being able to shoot people in Life is Strange. It would be interesting to read to whole review (any links?), but from that little snapshot they sound a little bored of the whole concept of FPS games, which is odd as they would have still been quite new and fresh in 1994.

 

[m.i.s.]

The original LM was a holdover title for Super Mario Sunshine. It's like the game equivalent of the warm-up guy before the main act.

A nice filler with stunning lighting and fog effects but with limited conceptual and gameplay premise.

I never felt like it needed a sequel.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Breakpoint a 4

HOLY CRAP

I mean. Ow the edge!

They were quite generous imo, Breakpoint received many poor scores from big sites and Edge often scores much lower than them.

 

[Kagey K]

It must really suck for print magazines to try to survive in this digital age.

I bet EDGE didn't play that game to the end LOL

 

[Fushitsusha]

Looks way too cartoony and the structure seems really off. Luigi suddenly grabs his vaccuum from some lid on the side of a random truck (why the hell is it placed in such a weird spot?) and he doesn't react or question it. The game takes controls off from the player by often showing things when you enter rooms and ironically you have Luigi reacting to scares every other step instead instead of what he finds that are story related. Seriously, having him scream and jump several times per room gets old fast. It's a parody of Luigi's Mansion.

The ghosts are no threat, they just stand there waiting for you to suck 'em up. No challenge. Keys and items are often found where where they need to be used which is too simple and uninspiring.

 

[SweetShark]

Apparently the reviewer finish it cause if not the review wouldn't make it in the magazine...like Death Stranding...

So with this logic Death Stranding was worst than Breakpoint.
lol

 

[HeresJohnny]

How many of these do you suppose they finished?

 

[Shrap]

Gone home game of the decade? Fuck off. It defined nothing. Walking sims were already everywhere when it came out with its cliche ridden daytime TV lesbian story.

I wonder how many of those reviewed games were completed.

i like how their sequel was a pile of garbage that even their friends trashed.

lol

I very much doubt it

 

[SweetShark]

I very much doubt it

Of course me neither believe Death Stranding is worst from Breaking point, but I will admit I find it very fascinating just cause a specific person who happened to review DS didn't like it, this whole situation happened.
Obviously I respect the opinion of the reviewer and very HYPE to read why he didn't finished the game.

 

[SweetShark]

Wait, Gone Home had a sequel?

 

[ROMhack]

Making Of... - Sunless Skies

Ooooo I might buy it for these. Anybody want scans if I do?

I am also interested for Detention. However I will buy the magazine like always do.
But thank you for the offer.

Not sure what the context for this was but no. Tacoma came after, which is a similar thing.
