Anyone who criticizes it on the grounds that it's not a survival horror game is silly because we're on the third main series entry now which isn't a survival horror game so there's really no excuse for people not figuring out that it wasn't going to be survival horror.Originally Posted by Psychotic
It's picking up a lot of hatred that it simply does not deserve. Much of the criticism stems from this:Although most people aren't saying it quite as elegantly as FA did. I mean, I guess it's a bad survival horror game, but it's like saying Final Fantasy is a bad baseball simulator. The series has moved on.
But this I don't agree with. I've played my fair share of cover based third person shooters in the last several years and this is one of the worst on many levels based on what the demo had to show me.but a bad game? Not in the slightest.
Actually, calling it a cover based third person shooter might not be totally fair because in the demo, not only did I play through two of the scenarios not realizing you could take cover (seriously, the button combination for entering cover is just stupid. I didn't notice it in the 2 seconds it gave me to memorize the controls before the game started and it's no wonder I never stumbled on it on my own), but cover is also seemingly superfluous. I never used it and never had a problem. I'd wonder if that changes later on but I really don't care enough to find out to be honest.
