How's the music in this? Does have the humming like the trailers? Love that shit.
Not that i consider it something worth losing a night's sleep, but I wouldn't call his post benign.
Saying that people interested are either easily marketed to or fanboys satiating their own ego is something really stupid.
And closing it with a "it's good to be outside and see things for what it is" is extremely patronizing.
But that's really OT, he doesn't posted in here and there's no need to serve crow to anyone.
He pretty much said if you were excited for the game either you were some casual who wasn't that picky about what you played or just console warrior who just wants their console to look good. He was pretty much insulting anyone who was excited for the game and downplaying why they were excited to either being some one who didn't really care about games that much and didn't know what was good or had an agenda to promote a console.
You don't understand why some one who is excited for the game might find that a little offensive? Like I couldn't possibly be excited cause it looks monster hunterish combat with big robot dinosaurs and a female protagonist who for once is designed to look tough first and not designed to look sexy (not saying she isn't pretty but you can tell that is not the main aim of her character design). And also I tend to be a sucker for post apocalypse settings. Nope, I'm either a casual that doesn't know what a good game really is or I'm a PlayStation fan tha just wants to push PlayStation.
I fail to see what you actually saw as sensible about his post? Or were you even looking at the same post that is in question?

That's another big point. If people are saying as good as witcher 3 or better for their first open world RPG, that says a lot.
Something like the Witcher Blood and Wine expansion would be perfect.
Or they could reinvent Killzone the same way the Santa Monica reinvented God of War. I don't know what form it would it take, but I don't think they should completely leave it alone.
You dont have to get off the couch.
Oh come on I was being facetious.

This thread is a whirlwind. All I wanted was reviews. Now somehow, after Zelda, Xbox is on the fray. State of Decay 2 will be awesome and some people will still prefer consoles from PC so it'll still be a good reason to buy One.
I can see that side of it, and he may have generalized it too much for sure so I shouldn't have used the word benign, but I don't think he meant to universally include everyone, I think he was more confused why the hype was through the roof. The fact of the matter is I can partially see his point of view. I say partially because I was hyped on this game from the reveal... but he's right in regards to people taking hype to new levels whenever it is an exclusive. I can safely say a huge chunk of people are in for the graphics, and a huge chunk of people are in just because of the console it's on. There are also plenty of people in because the game looks fantastic, it's his fault for not seeing that, but w.e
Also again saying the whole thread was full of that is a little overblown because it was like 3 people and there were at least 2 or 3 who were refuting the idea that it didn't warrant the hype.

Maybe they can do a Zelda and release at the launch of PS5.
For the sequel I want them to add sea and sky battles. That would be epic.

Sony's first party studios have a lot to live up to now. SSM, get your shit together for GoW and come back from the disaster that was Darkside. ND, make sure TLOU Part II is the best damn game we've ever played. SP, whatever the fuck you're working on better be sci-fi related if it ain't Infamous. Guerrilla Games just made hunting robot dinosaurs with a female red-headed protagonist work. Y'all got no more excuses with your safe ass games. Take some damn risks.
You folks need to grow up and reassess your life if those inane comments are making you respond like that. Can't wait till April so all the review shitposting surrounding this game can dissipate.
Holy shit. This is gonna be a kickass year for Sony.

God of War playable start to finish as of Dec 2016 and you think it'll be pushed to late 2018?
Imo GoW and Dreams this year, with GTS, Days Gone and Detroit next year, alongside Spiderman. Wild is the big unknown, but guessing 2019 with TLOU2 and SP new IP.

wow...seems like it should be higher, like 90 or 91. Not enough perfect scores though I guess.

SP's game came out 3 years ago. That ish better be summer 2018 at the fucking latest. I suspect it gets a reveal at the beginning or end of E3 this year. Days Gone also has been in dev for what seems like forever.
Detroit, GT Sport (smh..), Days Gone, Spidey I think will all be 2017.
GoW4, Media Molecule game, Bloodborne II will be 2018.
TLOU2, Death Stranding, Killzone anotherOne.gif 2019.
Maybe Studio Japan can finally pull off a big AAA game. Only one in a decade it seems is The Last Guardian other then helping other studios or creating AA games. Which I'm totally ok with, but no reason not create what every single game wants, Legend of Dragoon reboot.
You just take shots a ND brah? Joel is gonna come swinging at you real soon.

Looking at previews of this game, for as much stuff that GG seems to have gotten "right" with combat, controls, etc, there was always the lingering concern that there were also a lot of generic elements that may feel too familiar.
A lot of reviews seem to be praising the execution of said stuff in the context of the game design and moment-to-moment, which was the most surprising thing here (aside from big story praise). Of course, because it's a subject matter of how it's executed and not so much the content itself being starkly different, the reviews that was lukewarm on it are also no surprise.
Bravo to GG for an excellent first outing. I know GG's talented hire are praised for the game, but really, when I look at the core of the game's standout moments, the robots designer and combat designer are not some mercenary hires from other studios, but rather long-time GG devs who's been with the team since the early Killzone days.

I liked his preview videos. How spoilery is this one?
i wanted it to be good but had no idea what to expect out of GG's first open world and thought that the design choices in the game would hold it back critically, glad to see it was a success

Man I can't take this!!! I went from "so-so, this game sure looks pretty," to "Uh, so I better be buying this game pretty soon huh?" Just spent hundreds on a total computer upgrade to play games I already own and maybe Mass Effect. That said, I should buy a PS Pro.

Skimmed through
1) Involving varied side quests
2) Impactful dialogue options
3) Flexible character builds
4) Loads of things to craft
5) Tactical (but still epic) combat
LOL, not happening.
Yep, as I said is not something really important, and it's not like the thread went pages bashing the game.
I don't know him or the quality of his posts, it's just that what he wrote, in a thread that surely is frequented mostly by PC players, sounded kind of bad.
And I don't see the problem in people being in just for the graphics, I consider myself a frequent gamer, but when I look at Star Citizen I'm only amazed by how unbelievable the graphics are, even if I had read countless paragraphs about all the things the game is doing under the hood.

Lol perfect. This is what I'll tell ppl about ape escape 4
I only watched half of it and stopped. If you're not familiar with one certain enemies behavior I wouldn't recommend watching the video.
He said that he loved the world, plot and quests.

I think I'm gonna need to keep some elements, but most of em will be turned off, best way to play games.
When do you think your review will be up? Looking forward to your thoughts.
I don't see a problem with it either, I don't think he ever said there was a problem with being in for graphics though.
Yes, the same equipment/weapons as the physical copies depending on if it's the standard or deluxe edition.
