KAG in the News! Coverage / Reviews / Awards

I know this is gonna be NECROPOSTLOL, but some of these reviews are unbelievable...

Like that TechZwn review on Page 3, one of the downsides that affected their review was, "Some teammates seem to be on their own agenda, and refuse to work with others." How is that the game's fault? Just because a couple of players feel like Minecrafting, it's a detriment of the game itself? Never ceases to amaze me the slop that the internet calls "reviews" and "reviewers" considering how shit this one is.

 

Yep its no different than a rogue teammate in any other online game. Just because it is a TEAM game doesnt mean that everyone WILL play it that way.

 

I don't really see what the problem is. The game community is a big part of the gaming experience, so really wouldn't you want people to talk about that if they're reviewing a game you want to hear more about? I mean it isn't the game's fault but is a major part of the experience and as we all know it is a valid criticism.

 

I think Bone meant more that they counted it as a slight against the game. Sure talk about community but you cant really be fully responsible for the community as well.

 

game journalism, lol

 

That's what I meant. The fact that they gave it a 4.5/5 and actually said what I quoted as the only dislike blows my mind.

 

Reviewers only give their games MAYBE a few hours so I'd say you're lucky.

 

Commenting to keep up with the news that doesn't make the dev blog

 

GoodGame was what brought my brother to KAG, then I started it.

 

7pmTech review of KAG :p http://7pmtech.com/topic/3187-7pm-tech-review-king-arthurs-gold/

Also it isn't going to cost $25.00 at the full version; that is old information. Now the game is going on Steam it will be cheaper.

 

So your saying it's not side scrolling like terraria nor similar in any shape, form, or matter?

Doesn't matter which is older, I'm just referring to another game that people may heard about. It provides the reader a better idea of what KAG feels like.

 

I found 0 reviews on metacritic on KAG! Lets create some!

Call me a downer but boosting reviews of a game that you actively play and are devoted to is IMO one of the most biased things you could do.
Reviews are aimed for people that are unfamiliar with the game and are seeking for a new gaming experience/new fun game, not for playing the same thing for next 2 years.
Also the fact that your reviews are 10's, when neither Classic nor Scripting are close even to 9 (maybe not even 8, tbh). Yes, KAG is very solid, it's a fine game but rating it as high as you would rate, let's say, Arkham Asylum or Portal 2 makes you look like all those fastnicks created by EA and Activion just to elevate metascore of diamonds like MoH: Warfighter.

inb4 ej is a dick

 

Yeah while a lot of what Ej said I think that we can still give our opinion of the game, but with full disclosure of our association with the game and with acknowledgement of its flaws. In fact I think a full, honest review can possibly be more compelling than thin "best game ever" spam.

But still, good initiative bringing that up Spidey.

 

You're a dick but your paragraph makes sense.
