Too many people think their favorite little niche game should be WAY more popular than they are in reality. And then get angry and wonder why the studio who made it gets shut down when it doesn't sell that well.
My semi hot take is that the first game is overrated in the first place. I feel like it got a lot of praise that was just a bit over the top, for things that, while interesting on a level, didn't really end up carrying the game the way that the praise made it seem like. I remembered seeing all the stuff everyone was saying about how unique and boundary pushing it was and all that, and don't get me wrong, the atmosphere was kinda neat, and the whole schizophrenia angle was sorta interesting, but actually playing the game, was kinda boring. It plays most of it's hand on all it's unique and intersting aspects in the the first 30 minutes or so, and after that all you are stuck with is repeating puzzles, and half baked combat. I don't hate the first game, but I distinctly remember being very underwhelmed by it when I actually played it, compared to what I was hearing about it.
it's the least gamey-game i've played since the FMV cd-rom games of the 1990s. i thought the first game was a promising start but everything gameplay related in HB2 is a massive step backwards. Only fighting one guy at a time is ridiculous.
Microsoft don't do good games, I realised years ago I just take schraudenfrauder from seeing xbox owners being disappointed. Large American multinational would never understand the art of games
@@Rehabz4Quitterz nah black myth wukong looks really cool, hard yo say for sure how good it will be until it releases, but it looks extremely promising
Clearly, a lot of hard work went into this project. Unfortunately, it just didn't connect with me
Pretty sure, if it was a movie, it would be one of those 5 out of 10 next flick movies.
Lol the story was not good enough to be a movie for sure, but there was such little gameplay elements that it might as well have been a movie
It’s crazy the entire game is motion captured
Hellblade 2 is getting more hate than it deserves
By "hate" you mean criticism.
I think you're giving it more praise than it deserves
I would argue that Hellblade 1 got more praise than it deserved, leading to higher expectations than should have ever existed for the sequel.
I didn't even like the first one. I did/do not understand the hype.

I liked the first game for what it was, but I definitely didn’t like it as much as most people. Not as much as reviewers at least
It's a decent experience, slightly better than the first game.
I honestly liked the first one better. The second one was just more of the first but slightly regressed on the actual gameplay
Still waiting for a big Xbox game this year
More or less a tech demo

I think that's a fair take. I liked it, but didn't think it was a 9/10 like most gaming outlets rated it.
FMV games had more choice. It's not a game.
There’s literally no choice in Hellblade 2 lol

Yeah I felt the same way. Most on rails game I’ve ever played

They buy studios that make good games and then close them lol
Xbox answer to God of war. Game of the year? Im waiting for a game from CHINA called wukong.
I really hope that it's not vaporware.
Never even heard of it lol I thought this was a spam comment

PlayStation gets hate for cutscene simulators and then Xbox releases this garbage 😂
People are always just gonna hate lol
I'd say it all started with that stupid trailer. The way they're singing/chanting was supposed to be badass I assume but it made me cringe
I didn’t mind the trailer but it didn’t really depict what the game was like
Mid gamepass filler
I would have to agree
Hahahahahaha who cares about you dude?really
Apparently you did enough to comment lol
