Who are you, the Roger Ebert of AVNs? LOL
It's not fake because I made a comment before playing the game. I'm not commenting on the game (that's why i mentioned i hadn't played it!) and I'm not defending an underdog, I'm respecting a person's right to create as they see fit, without complaining about it. There's a hell of a lot involved in making games, especially if you don't have a team. You likely got the game for free and still write a novel to complain about it? I read comments before playing anything to determine whether games are still works in progress, or abandoned. With there being so many abandoned games, I find it far more helpful to be positive, supportive and encouraging to the developer(s), than to bash them. A "critique" is meant to point out what's wrong with something. You seemed to be saying you were unhappy because you didn't get to see this or he didn't do this, that and the other when you wanted him to. That's just personal complaining. That could have been summarized into something to the effect of "played the game, it was okay but feel improvements could be made." Or just rated the game. Moreover, it's the Dev's vision, who can say anything is wrong with it other than them? If the Dev wanted it to be full on AC from the start, that's the way the Dev would have made it.
To SOME people, obviously not you, the storytelling is just as important to get the players invested in it. That's the only other thing I was pointing out. Not everyone has the need you seem to be expressing for AC at every second. I personally don't care about AC at all. I'm looking for other things (development-wise, as I have a lot of huge projects coming up and will be using a similar engine for a backstory series) YES I am a developer. Not of AC games no, but a developer nonetheless. So I'll just chock it up to a different point-of-view, leading to a difference of opinion and leave it at that.
The part "it doesn't excite our brains properly" made me laugh. That's funny...and kinda weird.
Sorry for the back & forth (speaking to the Dev) Time to give it a play-through!
