Anybody have the rar naming convention for this release ?

"Bound.by.Flame.PS3-STRiKE"


Looks to be just 'partxx'.

IGN review is better than I thought it would be.

Here are more reviews for PS4 Very Happy

Quote:
Final Verdict

Bound By Flame will take the average gamer anywhere from 20 to 25 hours to finish (longer if you do every side-quest), so while it's not the longest role-playing game in the world, it is the longest single player adventure you can purchase on the PlayStation 4.

Some gamers won't be able to overlook its flaws and for those gamers, this game won't be a good fit. If you're a little more lenient on your games and you realize that Spiders and Focus Home Interactive made something this grandiose on what is likely a far smaller budget than your average AAA game, you'll find a lot to love here. It's an interesting mix of Fable, Dragon Age, Witcher and any European born RPG.

Bound By Flame will likely end up being a hidden gem or a cult classic, a game that won't appeal to everyone but for a small group of gamers it will be a fantastic experience. Instead of paying attention to the score for this one, do yourself a favor and read the review to see if the game's flaws are something you can overlook.

If you have just a shred of patience and want to scratch that role-playing itch, Bound By Flame is a great choice.


Another video review.



May the NFOrce be with you always.

So IGN US gave Bound by Flame 7/10 and the lowest score I have found is actually IGN Sweden who rated the game 1.9/10!?

http://se.ign.com/review/8022/bound-by-flame

I know fuck all Swedish so I used an online translator Very Happy

http://www.systranet.com/turl/?systranbanner=1&systrangui=WebUI&systranshowbdy=294d016e4cc7325e--5dc5a6a3-145f40d9c24-1ceb&systranuid=aHR0cC1zZS5pZ24uY29tL3Jldmlldy84MDIyL2JvdW5kLWJ5LWZsYW1lL3N2X2Vu

It didnt include the verdict so here it is translated separately.

Olidligt
Ett plågsamt dåligt spel som lever på klichéer och dark and gritty
Snygg fiendedesign
Fruktansvärd dialog
Uselt gameplay
Få val i karaktärseditorn

unbearably
A painfully bad game that thrives on clichés and dark and gritty
Stylish design enemy
terrible dialogue
lousy gameplay
Get choice in karaktärseditorn

No idea what 'karaktärseditorn' is and neither does the translator lol.

I don't know about you guys, but I loved the game Smile It was an absolute blast from start to finish and it was only some animation issues and general "lack of polish" that prevented it from scoring higher in my estimation.

I haven't played the game but the IGN review gives it 7/10 and says :-

+Responsive combat (good)
+Meaningful progression (good)
+Fitting music (meh)

– Inconsistent writing and voice acting (who cares)
– Meaningless story choices (who cares)

If it entertains me for a few hours I'll be happy.

You finished it? Ive played about 10 hours and got a level 17 character. I really like the combat gameplay and the bosses can be really challenging.

i would say the combat was unresponsive and the progression was not meaningful at all ,
yes the music was fitting but only after you defeated the best and got that Ice Lord to join you ... in the swamp
same can be said about writing and voice acting ... it starts as this fan fiction Game of thrones written by a teenage that only knows few words and has to use FUCK , WHORE , CUNT , SHIT , COCK every third word ... voice acting was horrible for NPCs but good for only 3 models ... that semi naked Ice lord Chick , that British accent speaking corpse and you [only the female side , the male voice actor was fucking atrocious ]
and Story choices are meaningful a lot ...

but for me this game was horrid , they should stick with Scifi ...
