Front what Ive heard, Bruce Dickinson is a douche. It wouldn't surprise me if he had some play on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the world of law you pretty much have to protect your copy write from infringement. If you don't then the next case that pops up can point to it as an example of it being okay.

And I say that as a fan of the band. I'm sure however that their team of lawyers are even bigger dicks so who knows if this ever even reached the band.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I saw them live in Irvine and he wasn't a dick so I'm blaming this one on the lawyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Game Information Game Title: Ion Fury Platforms: PC (Aug 14, 2019) Trailer: Publisher: 3D Realms Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 81 average - 69% recommended Critic Reviews Gaming Nexus - 9.5 / 10 Quote Ion Fury made me feel like a kid again and it's not just nostalgia that makes the game great. The is classic run and gun FPS action at it's purest and despite running on 20 year old tech, it's still a hell of a lot of fun and is one of my favorite games of 2019 so far. TechRaptor - 9 / 10 Quote Ion Fury is a high-energy, action-packed retro ride with great gameplay, level design, visuals and audio. It's a reminder that great old-school design is forever. Game Informer - 9 / 10 Quote More than just a throwback to frenzied '90s shooters, Ion Fury is a fantastic game filled with creative weaponry, oodles of humor, and memorable levels. PCGamesN - 9 / 10 Quote A nostalgic '90s throwback that's challenging, funny, cleverly designed, and shockingly attractive both despite and because of its ancient engine, which enables gigantic levels packed with detail. Chris J Capel Game Revolution - 4.5 / 5 stars Quote If you're a fan of any breed of first-person shooters, Ion Fury should be on your playlist. Even among its retro FPS peers, 3D Realms has put out a best-in-class experience that rivals anything released this year. GameSkinny - 9 / 10 stars Quote Ion Fury mixes old and new in a throwback FPS that deftly builds its own enduring identity. The Games Machine - Italian - 8.5 / 10 Quote Ion Fury is a love letter to 90s shooters, especially addressed to Duke Nukem 3D. A well written love letter, although it could have been more varied in some parts. Handsome Phantom - 8.5 / 10 Quote Ion Fury is remarkably smooth, much like you would expect from a traditional Build game, or nearly any first-person shooter from the mid-90s. Destructoid - 8 / 10 Quote Ion Fury not only recaptures what made retro shooters so memorable, but it improves on them in a number of ways. While not as excellent as some other recent entries in the same genre, this is a game that fans of the past should not miss. It's brutal, lightning-fast, and always putting fun before anything else. PC Gamer - 77 / 100 Quote A retro FPS built with love by true enthusiasts of the genre. Critical Hit - 7.5 / 10 Quote Ion Fury knows what it wants to be: A satisfying romp through the past, emboldened by the future and metal to the max. IGN - 7.5 / 10 Quote Ion Fury is an authentic throwback to Duke Nukem 3D that certainly hails to the king but can't quite dethrone him. Metro GameCentral - 7 / 10 Quote For better and worse, a near perfect replication of mid-90s first person shooters, that makes you wistful for the old days… and secretly glad things have moved on in the meantime. Cultured Vultures - 6 / 10 Quote Ion Fury can be a fun time, but you will start to feel the age of the game design before long. Only for real nostalgia junkies. GameSpew - 6 / 10 Quote Ion Fury is flawed, but there’s plenty of gruesome fun to be had here, more so if you’ve got fond memories of 90s shooters. If Voidpoint/3D Realms can tighten up the game for an expansion pack or a sequel, I’d definitely be up for more Bombshell. Just don’t expect this outing to blow you away all the time. Eurogamer - Recommended Quote A thrillingly authentic take on the first-person shooter's 90s heyday, delivered with nerdish enthusiasm.

Keyser_Soze Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The RPS review is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 22 minutes ago, Keyser_Soze said: The RPS review is bad. The first paragraph gives away why though. The reviewer fundamentally doesn't enjoy nor appreciate this type of FPS design. He considers missing a vent in a room a giant arrow pointed him to and therefore not being able to proceed a waste of time, I'd consider that exploration. Thankfully one of this game's big focuses seems to be to actually go with that type of sprawling Duke 3D level design. I have yet to play it so I don't know if they actually nailed that but the RPS reviewer just seems to fundamentally dislike that type of game rather than Ion Fury itself. His review actually kind of sold me on it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 But rather focusing on things he doesn’t understand it would be nice to get some details from a guy who does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I kind of misunderstood your post. Thought you meant it like the review is bad as in makes the game look bad. My answer pretty much was getting at what you're saying here actually.

Keyser_Soze Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 No I meant it was a bad review as in the content is more reflective of the reviewer rather than the game which is most likely good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
