You gotta be ****ing kidding me.

It is apparent that you've never seen a human in your life, then.

It looks like some of the Ninjutsu moves can be used by more than one turtle. If im right im just curious how many can be switched out and how many are locked into one specific turtle.
2. Have you encountered any of the secret bosses yet?

All the turtles can use any of the moves you unlock and purchase, but all are only limited to four. It might have been confirmed from the trailer, but I believe Shredder is a secret boss on Karai's stage. I haven't finished the game yet so I can't confirm it myself.

Super Shredder final boss

Anyone a little uneasy that there's still not a single review out and the game releases tomorrow?

That is disheartening.They better get on the ball. I'm getting it regardless though and I'll be loving every minute of it.

I feel like no one here knows how low budget C tier releases work.

*CyberCubed* · 05-23-2016, 04:37 PM

The problem is this game is a $49.99 retail game. Had this game just been a $20 digital only title, I imagine people would have been a lot more forgiving.

Maybe the reviews are under an embargo til the game is released, this is very typical of video game reviews.

A lot more forgiving of what? Some misaligned notion of value based on the number of levels? Spoilers, plenty of bigger titles have fewer levels.

*Autbot_Benz* · 05-23-2016, 06:01 PM

id rather have a turtles game based like the Batman Arkham games over a generic beat up x number of baddies to progress.

*Cure* · 05-23-2016, 06:04 PM

You will never ever get that, but sure, be upset at what you do get for not meeting your lofty expectations. Makes sense.

slingtheory · 05-23-2016, 06:48 PM

Ive been looking around and I haven't seen any full reviews for over watch yet either and im sure theres probably more hype for that than tmnt.Ign does at least acknowledge both games are coming out this week so that's something I guess

Thanks for answering.I guess that explains that cut scene that looked like shredder rushing them on karai's level. That's cool but I'm really hoping some of these secret battles might be unannounced villains like hun or koya.

Overwatch is a game that REQUIRES an online connection and the servers haven't gone live yet. Come on, man. That's how online multiplayer games get handled.

*CyberCubed* · 05-23-2016, 07:07 PM

Some guy over at neogaf has been posting impressions saying he beat the game in 4 hours and that its Platinum's worst game. He also says most of the game is fetch quests and tracking down enemies to fight in dull open areas till the boss.

My guess is the reviews will have it in the 6's range.

*sdp* · 05-23-2016, 08:38 PM

Beat em ups in general get bad reviews though, it's just not a genre that stands the test of time but fans can still enjoy them.

With that said I just don't like the character designs of the IDW universe so this game is unappealing to me even if the graphics are great.

well although this game does have single player the multi player aspect seems like it's being pushed more. Could be reviewers are waiting until there's a larger number of online players to get the full experience. Or could be this game is just not all that high on their priority list. It is a tmnt game after all. They've developed a reputation for not being all that great. Wouldn't be surprised if people are drawing straws for who has to review this thing.

Read this guy's impressions earlier and while I'm not trying to defend the game since I haven't played it yet most of his critisms make me wonder what he was expecting in the first place. And I'm seriously having a hard time believing it's worse than korra

*CyberCubed* · 05-23-2016, 10:29 PM

Its a shame the team that made Transformers Devastation didn't work on this one. This one was made by the Legend of Korra team. I guess the difference in Platinum's development teams really is quite big.

Cryomancer · 05-23-2016, 11:37 PM

It's still published (aka paid for) by Activision, and I'm sure they wanted out it in time for the movie. Even the best devs can only do so much with (guessing, here) small amounts of money and time. Activision probably decided the asking price, too.

To get a truly great game you need the right levels of talent, money, time, etc and those things are impossible to even know beforehand anyway. The game looks alright from what I've seen so far, probably priced too high though. I wouldn't expect a fantastic TMNT game while Activision is still in control. All their money is probably being thrown into Destiny and their track record as a company has incredibly few great games anyway. They finance primarily mediocre and obvious cash-grab games, at least at any time in the past like 20 years. They most likely do not think anything more of TMNT.

*Shark_Blade* · 05-24-2016, 05:18 AM

When did a TMNT game ever lasted more than 4 hours anyway? Fetch and beat me up? Sounds like 2k3 tmnt games on ps2.

This should be good.
