So is the game really that bad?

[bill_.]

Was really looking forward to this game, but reviews are bad and people don't seem to like the game. What are your guy's thoughts?

Well for what it's worth it's a decent game(It is a budget title after all). And most reviews reflect that(IGN and Gamespot aside because they review games based on how much money publisher throw at them..) If i had to rate it it would be around 7 maybe 7.5 which is kinda decent for a budget title i would say. Maybe another point for pure fanboyism because lets face it bending the living heck out of people sure is damn fun when it's done by the likes of platinum games.

Am also wondering the same thing, the general consensus so far seems to be that it's terrible :S The majority of user reviews are positive!

Makes me sad! This is Platinum, I was so shocked to see it getting 3's from the likes of Gamespot. Not that I take their opinion seriously anyway.

well of course "critics" dislike this game..i mean they didn't get all the extra free cash so that they give a positive review in return. I mean i believe it was Gamespot who rated this one a 3,5? Who are they kidding with that kinda score while they hail the next Cod as the second coming of god himself. Same with IGN they gave Alien:Isolation a 6 i believe it was while they rest of the world pretty much agreed that it was a good game.

Well i guess it's quite possible that Gamespot and IGN reviewers are still grumpy over the bayonetta 2 matter and rate future platinum games bad just out of principle and spite

It's not as flashy as platinum's other games but it's still very enjoyable. It's worth $15.

no its not. its not the best thing either. its fun, a nice diversion, and honestly made for fans of the show... its not a way to draw new viewers in. we're at the start of the very last season of pretty much all avatar right now.

if you like the show, you'll like the game. if you don't know what the show is about, then i guess it'll be ok?

its like 6/10, 7/10 if you like the show. worth 15 bucks if you want a fun thing to pass the time.

Think of this game as Bayonetta LITE.
I didn't even know about the show until 2 days ago but the game is action and fast paced. It isn't a terrible game and I've seen worst. They knew thier game was mediocre at best and made it 15 dollars. If it was a higher budget game and given more time it would had been a bit more flashy.
Extreme mode itself took me 10 hours because of the deaths and many leveling I had to go through to get stronger to fight some of the foes. some of the parts were insane.

Got the PS4 version, mostly because it was 4AM and I was sleep deprived and for some reason dropping money on a digital game on as pre-order somehow seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, the game is awesome. If you like Bayonetta or Metal Gear Rising, this game will really jingle your bells. It's not as punishing nor is the combat as deep as it is in either Bayo or MGR, but it's a lot of fun. Combat is pretty solid and neat to see in action when you learn to not suck at it. It's most assuredly a Platinum Games game worth the time to play. I have no idea how it fairs to the show it's based on though, as I've never seen The Legend of Korra. Since I'm not going to be able to play Bayo 2 anytime soon, it's definitely pleasant for me to have, anyway.

Pro-Bending on Pro difficulty can suck a ♥♥♥♥ though. I have no idea how you're expected to get a platinum medal with your teammates being as dumb as bricks.

Never seen or heard of Korra before.
I am pretty pleased with the combat system so far, it's solid, fastpaced and moderately challenging. I am playing on normal (1st run) and sometimes I fail, I really like how fast you have to react against some enemey's projectiles and how important is to switch target during the fight.

The game has a Metal Gear RIsing vibe: you can wait for the enemy's attack and parry, delivering an almost fhinish blow, or you can attack freely. Passive or active, QTEs from other benders, the jump attacks, the charged attacks, 4 elements to bend, light platforming sections, "running with the bear" (fun as hell and not to easy at it may seem).

Do yourself a favour: if you are into the combat games, buy this game right now, do not wait for a sale.

not bad at all. I just recently posted a discussion of some mechanics in the game, like cancelling mechanics to help with combos and etc.
