/vr/ - Retro Games

The funny thing about this review isn't the opinions themselves, but their comments about difficulty make it clear they played the first level or two then decided they'd seen enough. Implying they played the game for about 10 minutes.

It's amazing how you can immediately tell who actually played it for more than five minutes and who wrote it off right out of the gate.

No.

For those who don't know, this game is only like an hour long and the first two levels are piss easy, but the later levels are hard as fuck.

Guess which of these four reviewers actually played the game past the first level.

Like the EGM review of Mr. Gimmick, where you can tell exactly which reviewers played it and which spent a few minutes running around in the first level just so they could push out a review.

Gimmick review where they clearly thought the art style was for kids and never bothered playing the game.
Also Street Fighter Alpha 2 Saturn port where they complain about the omission of blue shadows, which are actually still in the game.

Nevah forget.

>a magazine or site say game xyz is shit
>you go see for yourself and it's actually good

Then you should never go back to the aforementioned magazine or site ever again.

NEVER FORGET

Here we go, you can obviously tell which of these guys even haven't PLAYED the game.

They swiped the format from Famitsu but I agree, the only big downside is sometimes only one or two of them would actually play the game and all the other reviewers would bullshit their way through looking at gameplay or playing a few minutes.

Reminder that Electronic Gaming Monthly didn't even play the games they reviewed

it's not even a rare game in japan, and i can appreciate the overall level of polish but the difficulty is a bit too high i think.

One of these people played the game for more than ten minutes.
