If that's not a giant F-U for all that Pre-Ordered I don't know what is
I saw the game through a review and my god is it bad. Its not even on modern asset-flipper level... That bad. And know how to find good steam curators? Ignore those that recommend this game and praise it so high you think those are bought reviews...

I was waiting, I was hoping and I am happy because I never pre-order.

Stay crunchy.

Having played the demo, and personally enjoying it, I am hyped for the game, my gripe is the fact that we are having difficulty pre-loading on steam so far. As for reviewers, by all means they have value, but I find that if you are hyped for a game and happen to see a negative review, it can knock the hype you had in the game.

If you will enjoy the released version of the game then be my best guest. Really, I mean it. Have fun. Even the worst of the worst games out there have their audience. Not everyone has high standards or needs high standards and thats fine.

But my personal opinion also is that you loose the ability to critique the game afterwards if you defend it beforehand or just because you played a demo-version thats tailored towards you making a buying-decision.

Many companies have only your best in interest. And your best is your money.

I just watched this review, tried the demo both me and my friends decided to get it.... what now? why do you only watch 1 reviewer that has no idea how stamina work and danger vs reward works and decide that all hell is loose without trying the game yourself?

Well it's not about high standards, we never expected the second coming of WoW, and I did see this review, you are about the 30th person to post it, but i will definitely try to "stay crunchy", thanks.

this SINGLE reivew keeps being thrown around. Ive watched hours of play throughs and demos and it looks exactly like what I wanted.

....I think some of you didnt know what this game was supposed to be.

Looks to me like Skill Up sent out his lads to collect more views on the video. It's the worst review I've seen of the bunch yet we got lads troll baiting with it all day like its the only one in existence. Needs to be banned. :poeIIshifty:

Absolutely seething over criticism that gives video evidence.

Streamers are a disgrace of humanity, especially their fanboys/fangirls worshipping them giving them '' Power '' and believing everything they say. Smart people like me can make up their own minds and see for themselves, without watching some annoying pre-puberty streamer blabla for 30 minutes before actually starting a game and then spew out crap about it.

Look at all the reviews, not through someones eyes who doesn't know how to play the game nor doesn't like the game.

I value the critique of SkillUp since they always were, in my personal Opinion, objective. If this is the game you want, again, I am glad you like it. But I personally think that would include having a low standard when those problems, shown in the review, are the standard and not rare occurances.

If SkillUp is wrong and just tried to push out a non-factual opinion just to deevaluate the work of devs, I can change my mind about this video, this producer/critique and my own view.

But currently I trust him/them as well as I trust various other sources that especially show common problems not only in games but also in the industry as well.

And again: If you (will) like this game, I am totally fine with it. I didn't expect anything personally and I waited for release and more reviews.

Oh and btw: I am not a fanboy, nor was i sent out. I believe in something that I value. Thats all.

Stay crunchy.

Think a lot of people were expecting a vermintide rip off/mimic

granted there do seem to be a few issues, but I am still super keen to jam ^^

Sadly i watched some videos of gameplay and i had many doubts about the game and this review confirmed them. I think it will be quick cash grab on popular franchise. I hope im wrong and if i am i will buy this game but im almost sure that the player base will dry up very fast. For now i will wait for 2 or 3 weeks and see how it looks than because in that time every bug and bad thing will surface and i will have better view on this title. Thou after watching skill up i dont see this game succed. Hes review adressed the things i was concerned about and proved all my doubts to be true. If they patch all the bugs and the end game and all the systems will turn out to be fun than i will buy. For now ill wait.

That review is utter garbage. the guy is a complete idiot. He complaining about the difficulty and getting his ass kicked, and them complains it was too easy. the guy has no clue what so ever. The CR difficulty in the game is there for you to experiment with and find that right balance of where you need to be to play the game.

Bugs aside, yes there will be those, but I also wonder what build he was on compared to the final build version releasing tonight. I normally take reviews with a dose of salt, because reviewers like movie critics are all a waste of good breath. Listening to them rant is like having to listen to a chalk board being scratched over and over.

Playing Solo, yes is going to be difficulty. Especially depending on the char you play as. This guy needs to hang up his DnD hat and go back to playing Zelda.

The best tip anyone can have is the one you form yourself about the game. Not every game is for everyone. form your own personal in game experienced option, and try to not listen to this whinny reviewer, all they will do is ruin your day.

I played the demo and am looking forward to the full game. I don't give a skeeters peter what other people think. Very few reviewers I trust. Personal preference > review scores

You're one of the few smart people here who can make their own decisions and opinions... Looks like this forums is riddled with toxic idiots who worship reviewers and streamers, sadly
