That's interesting to see that Eidos Montréal is actually branded as such.

Even more interesting is the fact that I live 30 minutes away from Montréal and I never heard of "Human Revolution" up to now...

If a brand name tricks you into buying a game without looking at it first or finding out what they have done with it I think the fault lies with you. DN:F was a lot of fun for me I had a great time playing it compared to some of the older console versions I think it is a much better Duke Nukem then them.

And to be fair they might just be slapping the name on it to get some nostalgia reactions from some fans and hope they will buy into it. Or they might actually be out to expand upon a game series they loved, I can't tell I don't know the people. Not everyone thinks that every game with the same brand name needs to be the same game in the same format over and over.

But this is all a matter of opinion no one is right or wrong and no one is going to flip sides over a clever post on a forum. Gamers have become an Unpleasable Fanbase nothing a game maker can ever do will satisfy everyone. You are free to hate this game, rage about it, call it names and pick out every fault but I am going to be over here playing some games and having a good time.

I find more and more reactions like this all over the internet. Makes me wonder how critics were able to find jobs all these years. When I read a movie or stage play review there's usually plenty of bitching involved. And here I am, with so many people saying "STFU, it's OK, leave Britney alone!".

No wonder creators are too lazy to aim for quality, if there are masses of slaphappy, easy-to-please people who buy everything that's fed to them, and anyone caught at pointing faults would be named unhappy fanboi.

Now I realized that this stage play reviewer, a journalist, writer and poet, was just a crazed fanboi, because that's who you are if you dare to complain.

Never told you not to complain in fact I told you could. I just said that I was going to be over here having a good time playing some games. If you knew me you would know that I too whine and point out faults in games, I just wait for them to come out first and for me to play them.

So once again say whatever you like about this game I will be over here having a good time playing some games.

[DarthHelmet86]

lol Wut EoF...But hey if you don't want to take the time to see if a game is going to be the kind of game you like before you spend money on it well that's your problem.

Just so you know I brought Deus Ex: Human Revolution before it came out but close enough to the release date that I had seen good reviews (from sites and people I trust) for it and seen enough of the game-play to know I would like it. On the other hand something like Space Marine I would not buy before if has come out and I could look up people playing the real game, I need more info before I spend my money (And I am a big fan of WH40K games).

Syndicate is more then likely going to fall into the second set, I will wait for it to come out, listen to any friends who have gotten it (and since I know reviewers for some smaller online review sites I know some will be getting it) check out some early game LPs and then see if I like it. If all you are basing buying a game on is a name or title you are going to be let down sooner or later but if you don't have the time to check around about games don't just don't complain when you don't get what you wanted.

NEW Syndicate class a wet dream come true just hope they have customisation like the first one different arms legs etc hate when they dumb games down to a simple upgrade button and weapon mods a must. I know the first one wasn’t like eve thank god im hear for a fun time not a long time lol. I think the game would work well in 3rd person or is it deffo in 1st? that game was well ahead of its time was there any games similar apart from synd wars?

[jonh_sabugs]

Well, I wish we all had access to these reviewers we can trust (i.e. share the same gaming tastes as us), or friends who will risk wasting their money on crap titles, so we can be spared such fate. This is not the case for most people, and yes, many will buy the game based on the title. Trying to blame the consumer in this situation sounds a bit arrogant to me, since the brand name was placed there to deliberately mislead people.

Literally nothing that is created now has any value ever.

Well, that single line is the worst BS I've read in this thread yet. Unless you mean I should torrent every new game I might be even remotely interested in to try them in full before even considering purchasing the game itself if it please me, with no guarantee that I'll even bother purchasing it at all.

And don't come to me stating that I have to waste my entire life reading meaningless and biased reviews or play demos which usually don't even turn out like the shipped game... That would frankly be adding another layer of BS.
