@LiamCroft don't worry about it, I never been to push square before this review haha so there's that but I think it's a fair review and you are honest which is always best. You may lose a couple of trolls that will forever say "its the guy who gave Survive an 8" which is elementary school talk, but its probably for the best to not have trolls support you because that means you will have to dislike things you like and vice versa and then you fail the people looking for an honest perspective.
@OneManDroid I read the first thing you said and am replying to that "not a single mention of the pervasive micro-transaction system?!? oooooh, now that's a baaaaad review..."
@OneManDroid @Constable_What you guys are simply nitpicking and should admit that you are trashing the review because it goes against your mob mentality of hating this game with a dire passion. At the same time you are complaining about him not mentioning something in a review that you already know. You can find plenty of game reviews on here and other sites that don't include any mention of microtransactions. Just thought of this one because it's also not a $60 game like survive but has micro transactions: https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/rocket_league
@Porco yeah the reason is because other reviewers are afraid of getting scolded by people like you if they give it a higher score so they will lower their score just to please your mob mentality so they don't get a backlash.
@Constable_What no, its absolutely not necessary. This is not a product details page, its a review. He doesn't have to mention everything about the game on here that people don't like. He felt the game is great so talked about the points that make it that. You can find other negative reviews if that's what you're after.
@Anguspuss There are no save slots. You can pay to make a new character. Or delete your first or sign in as a different account. A lot of games today do the same where you only get one character and one save slot, I can't think of anybody who gave you the option of another for money but the game is not at AAA price. Also they are giving 50 coins per day for almost 20 days which will let people purchase one or something else. I'm guessing they will have other events to get the coins in game.
Good review, glad you were honest and didn't give in to the mob mentality. Even though I didn't like the reveal trailer, the survival gameplay videos made me jump on it and I'm loving this game. Its challenging, gameplay is great and it progresses nicely. A lot of people are calling it "fun", "satisfying" and it is definitely pulling me back in like a game hasn't in a while. Can't wait til I'm back home to play it. The story and characters are logical enough for a SciFi game to not detract from the gameplay. The micro transactions just lower the difficulty of the game and are not in your face and although I laughed at the character slots, I have no need to have another character if I can change my current one any time. Great price for what it offers too. Its too bad many reviewers are going to be taking points down just to fit in with the mob mentality because they are afraid of getting scolded.
@Yowza yeah last years GOTY breath of the Wild has one save slot and requires you to use another account if you want to start over without deleting, same as this game. Sunset Overdrive, you only get one character and one save slot. Most games have automatic saving on one file. Evil Within. These are just some I played recently that I can think off the top of my head. Really it’s not a big deal since you can change anything about your character any time and you get to unlock coins in events, right now they are giving 30 coins per day for 20 days. I’m sure there will be more opportunities. The only thing MtX does in this game is lower the difficulty which is in a lot of other games, AC to name one. Lets you unlock all collectibles or forza h3 that gives you map for unlocks.
@bindiana people dont mention taht the game is $40 not $60 and offers a full campaign plus online mode. also, you can change anything about your character including looks, gender, class, whatever at any time and you can make loadouts so there is not really a need for another slot. most games today only allow one save slot per account unless they are single-player rpg's.
