MindsEye boss claims game's negative reaction ahead of release has been paid for in "concerted effort" against studio
Not a great first impression when the first thing you ever see/hear about a game is the CEO of the company that made said game's conspiracy theory about why people are saying their game sucks.
You sound like one of those people he's talking about

Oh yeah, there's always someone "paying" for bad reviews. Yet they can never prove it.
The game looks fiiiiiiiiiiine but I'm already exhausted at the thought of another $80 USD price tag with DLC/microtransactions and forced multiplayer elements.
AAA studios are all doing the same sorts of things and putting just a little twist on it hoping it'll be enough to persuade you away from all the other AAA games and studious out there doing the exact same thing.
I'm not a hater, I don't hate your mediocre looking game that absolutely fails to stand out from the crowd, but I'm not gonna buy into your advertising for it either. To anyone who finds a home in this game and enjoys it, I'm legit happy for you. Mostly I'm just never going to think about this ever again.
Mindseye is $60, and it's much easier to stand out from the crowd when the crowd is all the way back in 2010.
The plot is basically current day American life. You don't need the game to play it.
...because life is "The Game".
Mother fucker
Yep bastard got me too

While these are former Rockstar devs, so there is some incentive by Take Two to potentially take them down, what they have shown is... Not impressive yet
"Driving and shooting, the game."
Oh and you can make your own scripted driving and shooting levels
Granted you can say the same thing about GTA technically.... But the characters are not interesting and the gameplay looks... off. The ragdoll enemies and the lack of any gun recoil. Just comes off as steam asset flip quality
The game looks like a mixture of GTA, Mafia, modernize APB in a cyberpunk-esque universe with generic Unreal 5 graphics.
The mod tool is the biggest feature in my eyes, but for the average gamer does that make a difference? I don't think you need to pay to criticize this game, but what do I know? I been paid by Russia and China to have this account on lemmy ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I love these, they always make my eyes go crosseyed
I mean, if it's a technical mess, that's one thing, but I think this looks great. More importantly, we really haven't gotten many games like this in so, so long, and I'm hungry for it.
There must be so much paid review manipulation out there but I don't know if it amounts to much. At the end of the day, if the game is good people will play it. I mean No Man's Sky came back from the entire world dumping on it from the stratosphere. Also, often overly negative reviews will actually make me more interested in a game, specially if all the negatives don't sound that bad "Horrible game! I didn't continuously die and how dare they allow the player to explore anywhere!".
Negative reviews usually are more descriptive about the game's design than positive ones, because it's a big enough part to stop someone from playing more. Positive reviews are 98% "This game gives me dopamine and/or money"
Is that screenshot purposely taken to make him look like henry cavill ?
or am i imagining it ?
looks like the main character from Mafia 3
Based on some comments in the article, it sounds like the guy is accusing Rockstar of financing a smear campaign. Maybe if they made a game that wasn't a straight GTA clone they wouldn't have to worry about something like that.
Wild take. Imagine if you made a souls-like game and fromsoft made a smear campaign against you? Assuming this accusation has any legs. It's highly morally corrupt to just be "don't make a souls game then". Most games can be compared to another existing game franchise, it's called competition.
it looks great. mind you im not the basic action movie kinda buff. die hards and misson imposibles are boring to me but it looks good. why they hating it and its got the dome!
