Tanukitsune Posted May 29, 2005 Here am I again to defend a game everybody thinks is the worst ever... YAY! All the reviews say its the WORST shooter of the year, and frankly I think they are all retarded... I've just beaten it and it's ten times more fun than let's say Doom 3, and the plot while not award winning is pretty decent for a shooter... Did any of these reviewers care to check how big the Nuclearvision team is? SEVEN people! SEVEN! (Not counting some external help with 3D graphics and web design) Do you expect such a small team to make a game as perfect as Half-Life 2? Apparently... yes.... It seems nowadays a decent game from a small company is a piece of , becuase they compare them to company that are huge and quite experienced... A decent game from a newcomer is expected, it's the mediocre games from "veterans" that deserve to be shunned! So they enemies are a bit dumb, I've seen much dumber enemies in some recent shooters, and buggy? Yes, but once again, it's a small company and they had a very small betatest group... (Tomb Raider AOD is even more buggy) It's the story of a girl with pyschic powers who can enter minds... Yes, I bought it becuase it reminded me of Pyschonauts, OK? You can find pyschic power ups that give you invisibility, pyschic shiled, slowing down time (yes, another game with bullet time) and healing yourself, unfortunately you don't need to use these much, but there is one mission that you can't beat with using your powers, it's a shame they didn't put more powers in the game in it... The dream levels are interesting, the bad guy has driven half the world crazy and pollutted their minds, so you'll find their minions while in other person's head. The first mind is FBI security guard, which is mind full of aliens in an alien world. The dream levels get better, like the Funny Bunny level, which unfortunately is too short, the rappin' flowers were pretty cool. Too bad the normal levels are quite normal... Some levels are quite exciting, with time limits and even a stealth level... I must admit the game had much more potential, if they had put more dream levels in it and put more powers in it, it would have been really great! If you are an elitist, you'll hate it, but it sure doesn't deserve such a horrible score... It's better than others games than have had rave reviews....

Lechimp Posted May 30, 2005 So you're saying that it deserves good reviews because a small team worked on it? It looks like a really generic shooter to me, that's probably why it's getting crappy reviews. And usually, stealth levels put in FPS suck horribly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted May 31, 2005 No, I'm saying it doesn't deserve the title of worst shooter of 2005. I'm not saying that just becuase the company is small they should get good reviews, I've seen horrible games from small companies, but geez! I've seen game much worst than this one with a better score! What really ticked me off is that some gave it an average review, yet they still thinks it's trash, since when 50% isn't a "pass"? That's the problem I see, it seems if a game gets a score lower than 80% everybody says it's the worst game ever, even people that say they don't live by scores... What I said is that a "mediocre" game from a small company is normal and shouldn't be treates like trash, it's the mediocre games from big companies we should worry about! These guys have made a decent game, yet all the reviewers say it's simply horrid, so people won't buy it and they probably won't make any more games. Is that fair? Sure, some small new companies have had luck and their first game was really great, but what I'm saying is don't compare to the "big games from big companies", is it fair to compare a game made by 500 people to game made by 5? No,obvioulsy the game made by the group of 5 won't be as good as the one from the big company, but maybe it would look better if compared to similar companies? I've compared it to "Nitro Family", that other game I praised and the rest hazed, and I must admit, Psychotoxic is much better than Nitro Family and it had a few less members in their staff, and they used their OWN engine, as far as I know... Which puzzles me, since Nitro Family got better reviews. I'm just extremely puzzled and angry that this game got such horrid reviews... Did I mention Delphi Eye (the company behind Nitro Family) appears to have dissapeared from the face of the Earth? The part that pisses me off is the "worst thing ever" part, I'm not saying they should give it a a good score or even change their current score, I'm just saying it doesn't deserve the title, I know a game like this won't get a good score from a big site, but this is too much! And by the way, the stealth level is just using your invisibility powers wisely.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted May 31, 2005 I played the demo once for like a minute. That was enough for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted May 31, 2005 If it's the first level (the F.B.I. Building), then you're right, it was pretty lame start for a game, all I'm trying to says it's not THAT bad, and definetely not the worst out there... I don't want it to be praised, I don't want you to buy it or try it, but come on! Worst shooter of the year? I'm not here to say "OMG! This game r0><0rz! You gotta try it!", I'm here to say "Why on Earth is it doing so bad"... It may not be very innovative, it may pretty standard, it may have a few bugs in it and enemies with low AI, but it doesn't deserve to be called the worst ever... I can take you don't like it, I can understand it's mediocre, and some might even say not very good or even bad, but the reviewers say it's PAINFULLY awful!
