Sometimes Great Potential Isn’t Enough - Bombshell Review
Bombshell is a newly arrived top-down action RPG from Interceptor Entertainment and publisher 3D Realms. The game centers on Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, a female Duke Nukem style character. To say that Bombshell has traveled a rocky road to this day is something of an understatement. Which brings us to today and the question about whether or not that redevelopment time has made a difference.

My point is to center this game out is worng,EVERY arpg including Diablo should be rated 3/10 at BEST.
ARPG's =no AI...story yeah right,again making it sound like this is a first for arpg's says he doesn't game much.
He also made a point of the locked camera...NO kidding Sherlock lmao,,ARPG's anyone?
IDK maybe he watchedAngry Joe's review and came up with the same answers,to me All THE arpg'S are shallow piles of junk but i bet Blizzard was happy to see millions given to them for the crap that is Diablo.
ARPG's+Moba's =rubbish
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

i would disagree to you saying those two genres are rubbish, arpgs are mindless fun. and mobas you either hate them or not, people who play mobas actually have some sort of skill. if it was all mindless rubbish League of legends ,wouldn't be one of the highest grossing games every year the past few years, and it also wouldnt be one of the highest rated and watched esports game in the world.
Is there anything you *don't* hate?
That's a serious question. Is there?
In all the time I've seen your posts here, I don't think I've seen you ever say a positive word about anything.
Regarding the game...
I was pretty interested for this game. I'd been following it for a bit, and was really eager to jump into a good, mindless action game. It's been a while since I've played one, and one introducing a new IP seemed like a good way to go.
Sadly, the excitement didn't end. The concepts are cool. The game is gorgeous (Unreal Engine tech, I'd expect no less), I like the main character and I even appreciate the cheesy 90s dialog (e.g. "Die, alien scum!").
What ultimately killed it for me was the controls. It felt very "un-tuned" to me, whether I was playing with gamepad or mouse and keyboard. I found my self dying only because I was having a difficult time controlling the character and maintaining aim, etc. Now, I guess it's just me, because I've seen others playing it without issue.. But, for me, the controls were a deal breaker.
Also later came to learn that Bombshell was originally to be a new Duke Nukem game, but the developers had lost the rights to the IP, so they had to change it. They went with a side-character originally created for Duke Nukem Forever.
In the end, I got a refund through Steam. I'll probably try it again in the future, when the price has come well down, or there's a good sale on it.
