Still waiting for their Hogwarts Legacy review.

It'll come out right after the coverage of their friend peter bright... any day now

Third time I've seen eurogamer give the lowest score for a major release and their final sentence completely invalidates the review.

Even when Echochamber do give a decent score the review itself is a load of whinging. Stellar blade received 4 stars. Also received 4 paragraphs of seething by an obese woman

 

[Fake]

Already a GOTY contender?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Journalists hate eurojank, plus the "controversy". The first game was flawed, but it was still incredible. This looks to be even greater.

Huh, jank…

Its sim style RPG so expecting it to be here as well.

Weirdly, media came around this time.

 

[keefged4]

CD Keys have given me my key, preloading now. Cant fucking wait, loved the first one. Going in blind this time.

 

[Raven117]

Hell yes. This is going to be great!

 

[JimmyRustler]

Sheit man, I may just buy Day one for support and then play later after a few patches. Is knowledge of part 1 needed? Never played that.

Preloading already. Now the wait begins.

 

[Negotiator101]

Reading the reviews it sounds very much like an improved version of the original but still frustrating game mechanics

 

[PeteBull]

Why was KCD 1 72 on meta? Lol.

Recently tried it, felt more like 8.5-9/10.

It was antiwoke and journos took away points away from its review scores, i remember huge outrage from small clip where henry's dad playfully slaps his mother on the butt, not joking, woke media/journos decided game is bad/deserves bad scores coz its mysogynistic and doesnt have black ppl in it, woke clown shit like that

 

[clarky]

Bought on Steam, great scores.

 

[Saber]

Pretty great stuff, seems like my worries were unfunded. Great times ahead

 

[Stuart360]

Has it mentioned anywhere if they improved the lockpicking?. It might sound stupid but its kind of a deal breaker for me with this game and whether i buy it now or in the future when its cheap.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Will deffo add this to my steam.account at some point. I've still not played the first and I bought it ages ago

 

[damidu]

lol
ill take this eurogamer, he actually put some effort.

Looks cool and Im glad its scoring well, but Im really not feelin dealing with all of its systems and mechanics again. I sunk a bunch of time into that first game, and wound up not even finishing. Sounds like this one is more of the same and more of everything. Possibly down the line, but no way for $70.

He's great and shut down the idiots moaning about this game being "woke". What a load of shite that whole thing was, now...to play the game!

 

[Topher]

goty, but I expect big american sites to have lower scores

You mean like Gamespot and IGN? They both gave the game 9/10

 

[mayham2199]

You should play the first one before this one for sure. It basically leads right into this game. I just rushed through the main story because the game looks like shit on console.

Have people heard saying its "improved"...but to me it looks like the old system. Not sure what exactly has been improved. But I also never understood what was the problem in the beginning. It were usually only people with controller who had problems. With mouse/keyboard lockpicking was easy af.

 

[mayham2199]

Do I need to play the first game to properly enjoy this?

You wont have the attachment to the characters in the game. I would at least watch a recap. I went rushed through the main story and didn't take me that long. I think about 25 hours.

Game looks drab and boring to me.

 

[viveks86]

My takeaway so far is that the game is great if you are patient, but it can be a slog at times? Seems enough to keep me interested. They will probably streamline a lot by the time I get to the game after their exciting year 1 roadmap.

Really don't care for this shit though:

and that's before we get into the knotty briar patch of its director being a vocal supporter of a movement whose effects continue to cause real and tangible harm to the wider industry.

Makes me want to discard the entire review as I can't tell if this bias against the developer has colored the whole review. I just can't give a damn about the makers' personal opinions and lives while consuming art/entertainment. Half of the creative industry is eccentric at best and fucked up at worst anyway. It just seems to come with the territory and I don't have the energy to examine all their lives and pass judgment. If they commit actual crimes, then there are systems in place to address that. This applies to the ongoing "woke" crusades as well. Just stick to reviewing the game and its content will you? Your opinion on their opinions should be shared with a friend (or a therapist).

 

[Flabagast]

Just bought on the PSN.

Yeah controller user here. And i remember reading that they did improve the lockpicking with a patch, later after i had played so maybe its not that bad now anyway.

Its just the first game had a lot of jank and clunky mechanics, but that lockpicking was so frustrating lol. I'll probably wait and see what people on Steam say about it.

It's not the usual AAA Sony lesbo-drama, that's for sure.

Not enough bald space chicks

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

It's not the usual AAA Sony lesbo-drama, that's for sure.

Right it’s more of the unskippable gay sex drama with bad combat and tons of boring useless systems

 

[nani17]

Looking forward to playing this l

 

[VolticArchangel]

A 90 meta KCD2 was not on my bingo card for 2025. Goddamn.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Hey that Gamespot review seems pretty dece-

And while there is a character hailing from Mali, Kuttenberg is also conspicuous for its scarcity of people of color, despite being a major trading city. You would expect a small population of merchants from places like the Middle East and North Africa to exist within its market stalls, so they're notable for their absence.

Oh

Fuckers just HAD to squeeze it in there

 

[Stuart360]

You said that kind of stuff didnt bother you in the Spiderman 2 thread

This game isn't for you James, back to Spiderman you go.

 

[Thief1987]

AA gay-drama instead?

 

[keefged4]

Of course it would to you. Not enough essence of Concord?

 

[Shadowstar39]

3/5 on Eurogamer, which gave a 5/5 to Veilguard LMAO

Instabuy!!!

 

[pudel]

Why was KCD 1 72 on meta? Lol.

First game was quite buggy on release. (but definitely playable) Nowadays everything is patched and game would get easily 8-9/10 as well. Its such a unique gem of a game.

 

[EviLore]

Game looked great, so these scores are validating. Eurogamer with a 60, even more so.

 

[Senua]

AA gay-drama instead?

You should watch the worth a buy review. He talks about this and how much of a nothing that controversy is.

 

[Smiggs]

Is the fucking middle age man, what the hell do they/them expect? People having pronouns and boss women in charge? Fucking radicals man, I hate them

Hopefully the removal of DEI will have an impact in gaming journalism and we won't have to suffer these activists making more stupid reviews anymore

Removing DEI or whatever else isn't going to stop these places from making bad reviews. I remember PC Gamer rating Dragon Age 2 higher than The Witcher 2. They've all been making horrible reviews for decades and will likely continue to do so, agendas or not.

Why the fuck spoil everyones party? Game is not for you, STFU and go somewhere else.

[James Sawyer Ford]

Right, it doesn’t. That’s not why I’m uninterested. Seems you’ll handvwaive it away though.

Like I said, the game’s combat and systems as described in reviews look wholly uninteresting to me

170 hrs of that? No thanks
