SWEET JESUS AT THESE IMPRESSIONS MAN

Oh is that going to be a Witcher-type game? For some reason I thought it was like a RTS or something.

so what is the combat like? i know she has a bow but is there weapons like axes? is it mostly ranged combat?
This must be a joke.
No. I don't know why I thought this.

They also hired the side quest narrative designer from The Witcher 3, which probably explains a lot.
Thanks! Very interesting. I have no idea why this flew by me.
oh yea You are right. Forgot about that. But hard to get hyped until I actually see it in action
Also Steampunk! Imagine an open world steampunk game like Horizon..hngg

Let me guess, Helghast warships show up at the end to find out that Earth has suffered an apocalypse? We didn't know Earth was destroyed due to transmission delay between Earth and Vetka/Helghan. Horizon is actually a Killzone sequel!

You truly have to go from various ammo types, to rope, to dodging, and traps. Like... when it all comes together it's amazing. Man the sense of scale here is just fantastic. Both in enemy encounters and enviroment.

I was worried the tripwire + let enemy run into tripwire strategy would be pretty OP. Is that so?
This is what I'm hoping combat is like (monster hunter style battles).
So far the only things I hear about this game is not a strong rpg (I can get over that as while I prefer RPGs I like other games too) and for me too short (I said for me. I like a game that will suck me In at least for a month. I hate neatly don't get people who want games to not last them long). And I say too short cause from what I hear of this game I think I'm going to love this game so if it really lasts me as short as people say it's going to go by too quick.

It def does wonders but sometimes they are smart and won't run into it or run around. The first half of the map is nothing compared to the beasts fought in the second half.
from what i've seen from clips that appears to be way less effective on bigger enemies but I could be wrong
Glameblog jump the gun a little lol.

There ya go..the first early leak from a EU publication
The bad things for him seem to be: some inconsistency in the AI, some fights are too hard (I am guessing random difficulty spikes) and something about the final not being conclusive (not sure on this last one)? Aside from that its a very glowing review from my very little understanding of french. lol

early reviews are too generous and this isnt even a 10...hell make it a 7 or 8 at best because at least some of those points are for a sjw icon as a lead.
fanboy tears incoming?
jk
i shit you not though, someone's gonna use at least one of those excuses

I still love this teaser trailer. I watched it an insane amount of times back when it was announced. The song choice was great too and partially contributed to all those viewings.

You probably won't find that shit tolerated here but you can bet your ass you'll hear it from some deranged lunatics on Twitter.
As for the review itself, that's some high praise

If sales are good you can sure bet they will.
I hope it does well i don't want GG to go back to FPS or KZ.

That review. Bring it home GG!
From the review, it looks like the game is pretty tough. I hope what someone said about having to constantly use items is true. Normally in open world games, I manage to hoard so much shit that I don't know what to do with. By the end of fallout 4 I had over a hundred stimpaks and plenty of ammo and stuff.

I'll say it again, that's some amazing praise. Very proud of the team at GG.
this made me chuckle.
Oh yes, oh baby please. Off to a great start.

Yo when that KZ2 demo dropped...
That shit had my mind blown. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at the time. I played through that demo so many times.

For everyone being blown away by GG's essentially first strong push on PS4, where were you in 09 for the Killzone 2 hype train? This is nothing new for GG to blow everyone away with their technical prowess.
i picked it up late for like 15 bucks and it is still my favorite fps campaign ever right alongside hl2 and far cry 3. all for different reasons.
the atmosphere and visuals in kh2 were phenomenal and like nothing else. and im someone who generally hates the shit out of linear fps campaigns
