I heard it wasn't really Valkyria, gameplay-wise? Kinda like Kingdom Hearts and Koei Warriors game got thrown into the teleporter from The Fly or something?

It's probably not great but it's also impossible to tell who actually doesn't like it and who is super mad that it's not another Chronicles game.

How does a game that feels like being dragged face-down through jagged remnants still get a 4.5?

Probably not even run and crash constantly. That Big Truck Racing game or what ever was something like that.

in the american grading system anything less than a 60% is considered a failing grade, it doesn't really matter how much you fail by

The second game added a sword-and-shield jobclass and the franchise has always had magic spear-wielding laser-spewing valkyries, but the new one goes full JRPG.

The original SA screenshot LP of Drakengard is up there with KotOR2 as a Let's Play That Matters, breaking down how batshit the story is and deciphering the awkward censorship of the US release without having to actually play the game was a valuable public service.

Endorph posted:

drakengard is a really hosed up game and ends with a bunch of giant babies killing everyone.

Giant babies with a mouth full of adult teeth, which is such an awesomely creepy, subtle detail.

A 4.5 score.

That means it's 50% better than that garbage 3.0 game Clover's God Fister or whatever the gently caress it was.

Also it is 69% as good as EA's SimCity (2013), a game which had a broken simulation system and no gameplay

it's sitting at a super high and amazing 60% on metacritic right now based off 22 critics so it's probably polygon just being really bad at videogames again

Well technically if you look at Polygon they still have 4 different review scores for Sim City ranging from 4 to 9.5 at different states of dumpster fireness.

I kinda liked the original style of gameplay in the Valkyria games so I'm disappointed in the new one

Hey, you're the one who gifted me that, I didn't buy it.

I'd stream it cause no doubt it's bad but it's likely just a lovely softcore porn game and not actually funny bad and just boring and creepy

They put out cease-and-desists against modders, but they're pulling it back now to say they're only going after mods that are used online and single-player will be fine.
