Ratings War

Before I praised this game. I suggested people SHOULD buy this. That's before I signed up on their website had the chance to talk to one of their owners. I think people should read this BEFORE buying. What he says this is a direct quote. "Choice Of Games embodies the same view of Antia Sarkeensian." End quote She is a person who mislead people several times, calls games sexist or objective to females. I was told not to buy their games unless I did agree with her world view. This is one of Owners of site where the games from telling me this. The screen show below will show that. http://postimg.org/image/ewcujnjqv/

Honestly, I liked this story a lot and thought it was well-written and entertaining. That said, there just isn't enough content here to justify the upvote in my opinion. There was so much that could have been done with this that wasn't. It had all the makings of a really interesting epic story and in the end it felt like the writer got bored with it and shipped it incomplete. Also apparently a couple of achievements are bugged. That's annoying as hell. The amount of programing it took to make this game and they didn't get one of the few features it has to work? Come on now.

Great story and awesome setting. As with all choose-your-own-adventure-style books, characterization is a little lacking. It's hard to make characters interesting when you're not sure how the player will be interacting with them. But while most of the characters are a little tropey (annoying, arrogant rival; upbeat, snarky sidekick; supportive, mysterious boss; etc.), they're still entertaining, and the Dystopian Cyberpunk world is done very well. I'd like to see some sort of internet analogue in a sequel, but that's the result of wanting more, not feeling that the story was missing something. The one real problem I have with this story is one that I have with most Choice of Games products--no asexual option. Yes, you can turn down romance and such (after identifying as straight, gay, or bisexual), but when you do, it feels a lot like you're missing out on content. Wouldn't normally complain about this, as this game is still far ahead of most of the industry, but the dev makes a big...

If you like: -cyber punk -corporate politics -news media -choose your own adventure stories -black text on white screens Then buy this! It's really good! EDIT: and character customization! You can choose your name and gender, which I didn't realize until my second playthrough. That's nice

This game is a ton of fun, I'll tell you what! You're able to customize your character pretty well and the characters are great, in my opinion, and engaging enough that it keeps you guessing. I had a hunch about one of them, but then I thought I was wrong, with the direction the story was taken. Later, I found out I was right, and it felt like I was in one of those detective shows. It's also well-written, and the universe created for it is pretty solid. All in all, it's a great deal of fun, and it's easily replayable! This is the sort of choose your own adventure game I like to see from Choice of Games. I highly recommend this game.

An RPG that leaves all decisions to you. This allows for a variety o fevents tailored to how YOU want to play the game. Everything is included. Everything impacts. And nothing just doesn't make a difference. By far the one of the best RPG's I have a ever played.

(How i got here/trivial/skippable) I got to this game via "Choice of Robots" which positively surprised me. I got Choice of Robots via a sale and was simply interested in playing a completely text based C&C game. I really liked Choice of Robots, your coices really mattered and you were able to explore totally different stories. I think i played around 7 playthroughs of Choice of Robots, this game sadly appears to be a little different. I managed to stop at a playtime of 115 minutes - yes i am a slow reader - before writing this little review, and at the moment I am contemplating whether or not i want to refund the game, not necessarily because of the money, but more in order to weighten my verdict. Keep in mind that i interrupted my first playthrough and that i am thus not capable of garanteeing anything, the far smaller amount of achievements - compared to Choice of Robots - nevertheless reflects my thoughts. The story seems to be rather out of your hand, while you could make nearly...

Got to about chapter 6 or 7 before all the heavily influenced liberal nonsense just ruined the story. I don't appreciate whenever a story forces a political narrative in a story where it has no place. I forwarded through after that. As far as worrying, I'd give the story a solid 5/5. Overall though, I'm giving it a 4/10 because the forced politics ruined the story.

This was the first title by the 'Choice of Games' that I have played, and I was pleasantly surprised to rediscover the 'choose-your-own-adventure' genre in digital form, having only encountered it previously in childrens' literature. 'Ratings War' is, however, far more comprehensively realised than most examples of it's kind on your bookshelf. Though I wouldn't discourage children from playing the game I would emphasize it's maturer writing style and suggest it's suitability for any age, according to taste. The story itself is engaging, reasonably original and has a good sense of narritive cohesion, though now on my second run-through I'm unsure whether the choices I made had any real impact on the story itself, rather affecting other more superficial (but equally important) features. It's difficult to give a specific example without spoilers, but romantic implications, for instance, may arise that affect your gameplay. I picked it up at £1.34 in a sale but at it's normal £2.00 pri...

I usually enjoy Choice of Games' products very much, with the Hero-saga and Choice of Robots being among my favorite text-based games. However, this game seemed a bit... off. The ending was slightly abrupt, and the game seemed to be pretty bland, with your choices having minimal effect on the actual story. The setting seemed cool, but it was left largely unexplored. If this game was being sold for a buck, then sure, but three euros is too much for the quality provided. If you want to try out a text-based game, I'd recommend something else, like the aformentioned Choice of Robots.
