Support NeoGAF

[mèx]

I haven't followed the pre release discussion much. So people are surprised that... MachineGames made another solid/great game as usual? Only on NeoGaf I guess.

Looks like a fun romp, will play this down the line.

 

[gpn]

Looking good, can't wait to dig in when I get off of work.

 

[amigastar]

Honestly, not feeling the game completely. It's not First Person Shooter but rather something else. I hope the concept is working.

 

[adamsapple]

Pc or Xbox? Is it cross save?

The Win Store and Xbox version might be, I cannot find any place that confirms or denies whether the Win PC or Steam versions are tho. So take it with a grain of salt.

Namedropping Forgotten City?

My word.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Here is Karak 's channel if you want to check out his videos

Will check it out, thanks!

 

[adamsapple]

Namedropping Forgotten City?

My word.

Forgotten City, Dishonored and Hitman all 3 in the same sentence.

Danny's summary is pretty hype-making. Just need a mention of Butcher Bay in there and I'll be fully satisfied.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wish I liked Indiana Jones as a franchise

 

[Chuck Berry]

Sorry hit reply too quick.

Stealth, combat, platforming. They could all be the issue depending on how you play for sure

Not being able to lean left or right unless you’re holding a weapon sounds like a complete unanswerable fuck up to me for a game like this.

I wonder if that's the Todd Howard influence to even mention Forgotten City. Sounds like a really unique game.

Looks a bit weird during stealth. Like you are crawling on the floor.

Is GAF's @Mattyp the same as MrMattyPlays? Yes, he is

Is he? The GAF MattyP has the worst takes and acts like a proper console warrior. The YouTube MattyP looks like a very level-headed guy with nuanced takes.

I doubt they are the same people.

 

[amigastar]

He's a childhood hero for many people beating up Nazis. What more could you want?

 

[Heisenberg007]

Good review scores overall - closer to what I predicted. I may give it a try soon!

 

[Rocinante618]

How long is the game? This will decide if I get it on Steam or just play it once on Gamepass. I don't wanna sit through a review (want to avoid spoilers/anything related tbh).

Pretty sure he is. Karak knows him

People were saying about 15 hours, but if you do a lot of side stuff it can get around 25.

15~20 hours is perfect for a non-RPG single player game on its first run.

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

Another PS5 banger

 

[Kacho]

Jeff Grubb making this game an easy target by tweeting that.

25 hell yes

10/10 "a true return to form for MachineGames"

He gave it a 10? So I guess it's safe to assume the odd reason we have 10's and 7's are because the 10's were paid well?

Yes this is why I didn’t think they were the same person.

 

[Aguero9320]

It’s an outrage that they are demonizing nazis once again. And why are all the nazis always white men?

(Am I doing the anti-woke thing right?)

Screw it, I’m buying the early access. Good job Microsoft.

i think in general the hype has been tepid. (outside GAF)

based in Bethesda's and recent Publishers shenanigans, i am very skeptical about that MC score.

i think in the next 2-4 week, the sentiment will be less positive.

 

[Valedix]

Great reviews!

 

[Kacho]

Yes this is why I didn’t think they were the same person.

MattyP on GAF is the real person. His YouTube persona is shtick.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Just played the opening, seems great.

Edit: this 100% seems like an experience that'll be easy to spoil, I didn't know what the opening was, I reckon I'd enjoy it less if I'd known what was coming.

Recommend that if you're going to play this anyway, avoid reviews, etc.

Thanks, gamepass it is, last few months bangers after bangers, I'm liking it, I played through Age of Mythology Retold, Black Ops 6 campaign, Stalker 2 and now will play Indy.

Well worth the subscription price.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Nice! What's the timing on the exclusivity deal? May try to go for PC but would prefer PS when it hits.

 

[Stuart360]

Genuinely surprised but happy at the review scores.
Watched ACG's review and the game seems lengthy (for this style of game), packed with content, and has a lot of varied content and gameplay mechanics. Almost like there is somehting for everyone, and you can do what content you want to do.

I'm a big Indy fan but i havent really been excited for this as i just thought it would be a short and linear solid game. Glad to be wrong on this.

"shill"

"ambassador program not over yet?"

"Phil, is that you?"

 

[Topher]

Yes this is why I didn’t think they were the same person.

I post his videos and tag him in the posts all the time. It has been so long that I can't remember when that association was made, but I'm 99% sure they are the same.

edit: I may be mistaken. adamsapple , Heisenberg007 . lol....shit...who knows?

 

[Karak]

Its hilariously stupid ya

 

[SF Kosmo]

Not at all surprising, this was obviously going to be good. Now if a first person Indiana Jones game has mass appeal reasons to be seen, but Machinegames is a reliably solid developer.

 

[Humdinger]

Glad to hear it's reviewing better than most (including me) expected. I'm still a little unsure about some of what I've heard (not keen on stealth-focused games), but I'll check it out when it comes to PS5.

Knocked out a fascist with a flyswatter last night and got an achievement for it. More left to play but Indiana Jones is one of my favorite things I’ve played this year.

Well you can crawl through some things so it could be footage of that. Otherwise its just the odd movement of his hands which looks like a cat showing jazzhands to everyone

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Liked it but did warn folks that its got some tech issues.

Can't stand this guy.
His reviews are to PC performance dictated.





Solid review for PC version

 

[AGRacing]

lol

Completely correct.

Insecure men are being manipulated by media into becoming women every day.

Hate you back.
Just kidding. My reviews are based on the platform I have. I can't make it up.

[TerribleAtThisGame]

#1 complaint seems to be the stealth

I guess the issue to discover now is how bad are we talking? Just not good? Or Mary Jane stealth bad?

The video I watched showed a section with bafflingly bad view cones on the enemies. They have major tunnel vision and apparently difficulty doesn't increase that.

But stuff like that depends on context in my opinion. In some games, enemies being relatively dumb adds to the fun. Could be a negative or a blessing in disguise lol
