Oh thank heavens. I am not alone in my opinions of Blade runner.
Whether or not DS3 made enough money, I am personally glad they will most likely not be making another (at least for awhile) Dead Space game. Perhaps now what's left of Visceral will be able to focus on new ideas for games rather than reach back into the franchise bin.
I'll be getting this once it drops down in price. I didn't like the demo at first as it was too much like DS2 and none of the great tension, atmosphere like DS1. Once I played the demo again and went further because I did get bored with the demo roughly 10 minutes into it. I started to like it more.
Visceral have totally cocked up from the success of DS1. The constant overwhelming of enemies is going to make DS3 become a bore-fest. DS1 had that classic sci-fi horror film feel too it, which to me, made it a success in my eyes.
It reads to me like the game is boring due to the "laborious combat", it being a "dull slog" and "devoid of innovation and inspiration". The gun aspect was a small part of the review which doesn't actually state you have to craft weapons nor does it state it is optional which perhaps it should have done.
But in the VG review the bloke said it was boring because he had to build a gun which when I played it wasn't the case as there are blueprints on the game that can just build them for you.
Your opinion on Star Wars is as valid as mine. I think Blade Runner is one of the most boring films ever made but many people love it. It's all opinions.
Mechanical aspects are completely different but you mentioned "boring" which is not mechanical.
Those 8/9 out of ten and not boring to play comments are still simply your opinon. As with all things in life, some people agree, some people don't. Whether you class these people as real gamers or not, it still all comes down to personal taste. YOu might not understand why people don't enjoy it as much as you do but that's the nature of opinions.
Edit: for the record, I have no opinion of DS3 beyond the demo but what Clockpunk mentioned was how I felt about DS2 so I suspect I will not enjoy DS3 anywhere near as much as DS1.
The review I said was wrong was the Hitman here which was wrong as in the review it stated problems with the game that just were not there.
That's how I consider a review to be wrong anyway, subjective taste like in Dead Space 3 is different but you are telling people to buy this game or not.
Dead Space 3 is never in a million years boring to play (I have played some real poo like Aliens and Turok 1 etc) it not lazy by EA to give you the option to make your own guns if anything it's a great new feature and there are blueprints that you can use that can do the work for you if you really hate it that much.
It's a 8/9 out of 10 from what I have read elsewhere.
This makes me sad when the community will not finish the series. I mean.. Come on!!!!!! It's a franchise. It's like buying Assassins Creed 1 and 2, but kinda gave up on Brotherhood. You don't give up on franchises. I think they just didn't advertised it right..... I thought it was melting when I seen its trailer. Turns out to be a great game!
Heh, I think the problem for some of us (and our wallets) is that we DON'T give up on the franchises. Sometimes I find myself backlogged by two or three games in certain franchises, since I find myself buying a lot of new games just because they ARE new entries to a series that I have previously played. For example I still haven't finished Brotherhood here, but somehow have copies of Revelation and AC3 (oh and the Vita game). I'm getting slightly better at controlling my spending, but meh.
That's true. I never think about selling them but I suppose it's a back-up plan should the game be complete rubbish. Right then, my goal in the next few months is to be a game without reading a single review (excluding games like GTA V which is bound to be, at the very least, decent.)
If you look around online, get the game cheap and do it in a week you can sometimes sell it on for a profit or worse case scenario lose 2-4 quid.
I think people can just get the game and try it rather than ignore it because of a review by someone who doesn't really play games from what I have seen on sites.
It's something I wish I could do more, but my need to spend money wisely always stops me. Unless a game is well-reviewed I won't bother, especially if it's full price. I don't think I can win.
I think people go by reviews now rather than if they fancy the game.
I even did this with Hitman recently and I normally don't get put off by reviews, but after actually playing it I really enjoyed it and the reviews for it couldn't have been more wrong.
Morale of the story for me, reviews are dead to me now and if I like the looks of it I buy it.

and again all the negatives from reviews i have seen are just not there and i'm talking about mechanical parts of the game.

But how can a review be "wrong"? It is an opinion. You may disagree with the opinion but it is not right or wrong.

Exciting!

Or even better yet rent it via lovefilm.
