6/10 is pretty generous (imo)
Wrong again. What I said is the IGN review did a nice job of reflecting the other set of knowledgeable gamers on the issue iof Bannerlord / The long term fan base right here who have lofted almost the exact same negatives about the game forever nowWho. Cares. You're acting like an elitist and that only your opinion matters. People who shut down criticism with the Steam reviews are dumb, people who act like the Steam reviews don't exist are dumb.
1st person view has never felt more immersive to me. It feels, instead, like I'm a disembodied eyeball floating through the world with a couple of detached arms to hold my weapons, which in a lot of 1st person games that's literally all you are. 3rd person view gives me better situational awareness and I can tell what my body is doing like I can in real life, and that feels more immersive to me.What I really want to know, is why do so many people play the game in third person with the aimbot crosshair and movement arrow stuff on?
Guy talks about how immersive it is when in battle but has all the wrong things toggled for immersion.
FTFY. Yes pathetic indeed. Hard for you to fathom that many people get no joy from the game and it feels like a poorly designed endless grindfest. 90% of Most People agree with ME on that.Bannerlord still delivers ME a fun and exciting experience each and everytime. How can any of ALL OF YOU complain about the joy I get? If you ask me, MOST PEOPLE WHO DONT AGREE WITH ME who are "upset" with TaleWorlds want their cake so they can eat it too and believe that they are entitled to have a development team do as they say. It's pathetic to be honest.
I mean why does it really matter though, the numbers are really arbitrary anyways. I for example think that anything below 5 points is varying degrees of hot garbage, and from 5 and onwards my ratings would go as playable, ok, good, great, excellent and masterpiece respectively. I would give BL a 7/10 for example. I think his review is respectable and scoring is fair, what might not be as fair is crappy games' scores being unreasonably inflated by IGN (potentially due to not so ethical reasons), therefore making BL seem worse than it currently is (I mean would most people honestly give Pokemon Sword and Shield a 9.3/10 ?).I just wikipedia TaleWorlds and Warhorse Studios (the Indie Developer of Kingdom Come Deliverance).
Turns out, Warhorse has more employees than TaleWorlds by about 33%.
I think people assume TaleWorlds is a Triple A company with hundreds of developers on their team. Yesterday I was reading an article that claimed 90+ for Bannerlord development. That's not very many at all and honestly very impressive that so few of people were able to develop this game throughout Early Access in only 2.5 years plus another almost 10 since original announcement. Most Triple A games these days take 5-7 years of development with over 10x the man power and resources.
Anywho, point is, 6/10 is a shady review for a game that delivers hundreds and hundreds of hours in it's Vanilla format then another several hundred of hours per overhaul mod. I think fair is 7.5/10 or 8/10 simply because yes, Bannerlord is missing some pretty basic quality of life mechanics and does have some bugs (thankfully not game breaking like so many of these untested Triple A company releases) and probably the most important, the wack AI. However, given all those issues I just mentioned, Bannerlord still delivers us a fun and exciting experience each and everytime. How can any of us complain about the joy we get? If you ask me, most people who are "upset" with TaleWorlds want their cake so they can eat it too and believe that they are entitled to have a development team do as they say. It's pathetic to be honest.
I personally love the fact that all the polls on social media that I've seen float around 90% in favor of Bannerlord which further supports Steam Reviews of a 9/10 (accurately) than a lousy 6/10 IGN review that probably spent less than 3 days in making said review when Steam has spent 2.5 years.
Significant and reliable facts.
You keep saying many when it's less than .01%. There is quite literally less than 300 of you who are upset with TaleWorlds. Kinda insignificant.FTFY. Yes pathetic indeed. Hard for you to fathom that many people get no joy from the game and it feels like a poorly designed endless grindfest. 90% of Most People agree with ME on that.
Check out flesson19 on YouTube about trade. It's still very much part of the game.I love this game, with Mods, but I can't understand the developers' intention, half of the work they did with the game, the scenarios, nobody uses it, I don't remember walking in a city or village anymore. Now even the trade has gone down, before I still walked around Calardia selling horses, it was the only profitable commercial area, now nobody wants horses either. I don't even know what to do in the game anymore, I kill looters, seeing the loot and little else. I even open a post about this trade setback but seems not be a general issue.
Except then you look at Warband and realise Bannerlord's combat is complete **** on top of everything elseIGN - "It is a good thing that combat is so good because everything else is shallow"
Extremely accurate & well written review, I completely agree with the writer. It seems like she played the game decently in-depth (which game journos unfortunately don't always do) and is apparently familiar with Warband to reach the same conclusions as most of us already have. It's also much better that she just wrote about the pros & cons of the game in detail rather than giving an arbitrary score.Sound the klaxons! We need some more of the Taleworlds defense brigade to get in here fast!
No numerical values to be argued over, but another honest review:
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord review: far more cows, but very little fresh butter
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord has the exact same old battles sewn onto a perfunctory, shallow RPG and an elaborate but robotic feudalism simwww.rockpapershotgun.com
Pretty scathing review from RPS.Sound the klaxons! We need some more of the Taleworlds defense brigade to get in here fast!

. This is exactly how I feel and I am always using 3rd person view if there is an option for it in the game I play.It feels, instead, like I'm a disembodied eyeball floating through the world with a couple of detached arms to hold my weapons
Yes, the truth hurts.Pretty scathing review from RPS.
"I still enjoy Bannerlord because there's nothing else doing those open world battles. But almost everything else is a robotic, shallow grind offering no surprises, with a plethora of complaints that early access is supposed to iron out. You can ignore a lot of it, which only highlights how irrelevant it is, and though there are a lot more things going on, you have to provide your own motivation, because everyone's behaviour is basically the same, and everything feels like a missed opportunity"
That pretty much sums up my feelings right there. The reviewers are saying the same things we've been saying all along, but I'm guessing it carries a lot more weight coming from official game outlets. I hope Taleworlds is listening.
Literally? Literally?You keep saying many when it's less than .01%. There is quite literally less than 300 of you who are upset with TaleWorlds. Kinda insignificant.
Got something I'm supposed to deliver, your hands only! *creepy eye contact*
well, they still have some pretty massive threads and replies from many of us basically drawing how to fix the game - up to them now.Lmao, we warned Taleworlds about their horrible dialog and lifeless NPCs, they chose not to listen.
